The past few years have proven to be quite transformative. I wish I could say I have a documentation through my writing, but as I say in today's YouTube video, I got silent. It was my choice, and how I wish I could go back and make a different one. But my only option now …

What’s Going On? Get Honest Project
For the month of May, I'm going to be unraveling the Get Honest Project. We're going to get into the nitty-gritty: stories I haven't told, topics most people shy away from, my own flaws, and what it really takes to change life for the better after tragedy. I don't want to do a rehash of …
Falling in Love with Fitness: March/April 2019
Well, these two months didn't quite go as planned...such is life, right? But even so, I think I accomplished a lot in these two months when it comes to my fitness journey, mostly in regard to learning what won't work for me. I think that it's super important to find the value in the "failure", …

A Nod to Tradition
We all have our idea of what tradition is. Maybe it's something you celebrate, or something you resist, or something you simply acknowledge. I think whatever your perspective of tradition is like, though, we can all agree that there are aspects of it that we should strive for even now. Let's break it down in …

Tough Conversations
There are some conversations in life that none of us want to have: that breakup, leaving that job, or simply telling someone a truth they won't want to hear. It can be easy to suddenly lose the words you'd prepared for hours before, rendering you silent and debating as to whether or not say anything …

Taking Risks 2019
This post has been a long time coming, and of course, as I've written it's become something totally different than I'd originally imagined. And I'm excited about that. The unknown hasn't been looking so scary lately; in fact, it's been looking like somewhere I want to be more often. After all, they say that there's …
I. Reframing My Mindset: Reading Can Be Bad
Picture this: a beautiful painting is hanging on a wall. The colors are just right and the scene is idyllic. It's an eye-catcher as soon as you walk into the room. But the frame is all wrong. It's too bulky and cumbersome. It weighs the painting down and overshadows its beauty. In order to maximize …

Writer’s Oasis: Topic // Wordsmiths
Blacksmiths. Shoe smiths. Wordsmiths? I first heard that term in my undergrad senior seminar. My professor put it so eloquently that I wouldn’t do it justice in a recreation, but that one word really stuck with me. Wordsmith. We cultivate words to create something beautiful. We’re experts in wordcraft, composing exposition just so that it …
