All relationships requires work. I think that’s a fact that we all know. But how can we maintain our relationships? Should a relationship be based solely on the premise of having commonalities? What happens (and it will happen) when a difference of opinions or background or anything else pops up? Will the commonalities be enough […]
Yin And Yang – The Balance Of Opposites
Opposites attracting. Contrasting parts. Balance and harmony. The concept of yin and yang is a part of ancient Chinese philosophy that describes how opposite forces are connected and dependent on each other. For example, light and dark, life and death, and men and women. And I’ve come to realize more and more lately just how […]

Okay, I have to start by saying that this isn’t going to be a blog talking about how I have a fool-proof method for beating anxiety. But I will be talking about how I have found ways that help me deal with my anxiety. And don’t get me wrong, I’m also not going to talk […]
3 Things To Do Before Making ANY Big Change
“The only thing that is constant is change.” This quote by Heraclitus is one of his less ‘dark’ philosophies, and in my opinion, it’s true. Life all around each and every one of us is in a constant state of change. We age every day, slowly but surely. We are constantly learning and growing and […]
When Planning Works, And When It Doesn’t
I’m a planner and an organizer. I don’t necessarily enjoying planning, but I’d like to say I’m good at it and that it works 95% of the time. It works when you want to start or change careers. You have to know what type of look you’re working for, the pay you’re willing to do […]

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been going about life trying to be as efficient as you can. I mean, why not? Efficiency is what we’re taught is ‘good’. To have ‘hustle’. To always be busy. So many self-development gurus will talk about how they only need 4 hours of sleep because they are […]

Four Reasons Friendship Is Important
Friendship does a lot more for us than we realize or give it credit for. Whether it’s a decade-long friendship or a friendship in bloom, they all bring us more value than they take away. (Well, in most cases. I’ll leave toxic friendships for another blog.) From lowering stress levels to increasing awareness, friendship is […]
Ways To Take Action And Make Change Now
What I feel right now is what I’ve been saying for a long time. One person can make a difference, and we all have that power. It may not seem like it, I know because I’ve been there. But we all do have the power to make a change and it would be irresponsible for […]
Tips For Coping With Stress
Things are opening back up, little by little. Some restaurants are available for dine-in now, certain parks and beaches are available to the public again. We’re all slowly learning our new ‘normal’.
