Forgiveness

College really has helped me grow through learning to forgive others. I confronted many issues from my eighteen years precollege but also came to understand relationships and how to deal with people better. People let us down and upset us. We need to forgive them but forgiving them does not make okay what they did toContinue reading “Forgiveness”

Whose Voice Is That??

Sometimes I put myself down. It’s something we all do! Sometimes we think we are fat, we are ugly or we are not worthy of something. A lack of yoga and success with dating definitely leaves me feeling down at times. A few weeks ago I watched Oprah’s Lifeclass and life coach Cheryl Richardson addressedContinue reading “Whose Voice Is That??”

Staying Afloat

Lately I find myself happy with where life is but I haven’t exactly been challenging myself. I am staying afloat which is dangerous because I am supposed to be growing and taking advantage of all life has to offer. When it comes to taking risks, “the worst that can happen is you end up right backContinue reading “Staying Afloat”

Change Is Hard Yet . . .

Coming back this school year I thought things would be a lot easier than they are. I thought even though I am busy, I will be able to hang out with my friends a lot and I can handle all the other demands of homework, work, classes, extracurriculars and dating. However, change happens whether weContinue reading “Change Is Hard Yet . . .”

You Know How the Story Goes. . .

I knew I wanted my next post to be on friendship and yesterday, it came to me that I not only wanted to write about friendship but an unsung hero in my book. This weekend I looked at the PRIDE (LGBTQ) Student Union Facebook event for its general body meeting and I flashed back to myContinue reading “You Know How the Story Goes. . .”

. . .And a Dollar Short

Besides their heart, the best gift someone can give you is their time. I try to avoid being late at all costs because you are making someone wait on you and I never cancel the moment I am suppose to be meeting with someone (that I can remember). One of my top pet peeves is whenContinue reading “. . .And a Dollar Short”

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

Going into a new school year, I feel this great closure with some issues, enlightened to so many lessons and excited for the journey to come.  As I’ve talked to friends this past week, I realized how we put limits on how we interact with someone. We all do our best to keep from beingContinue reading “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors”

Accents, Adele, Kinders, OH MY!

I believe best friends are one of the most precious things you can have in this world. I was able to spend almost a week with my best friend in her college town and then go back to the event and organization that brought us together. There were many serious conversations, lots of laughing, randomContinue reading “Accents, Adele, Kinders, OH MY!”

Planes, Trains & Automobiles

  There is an excitement I get from waking up one morning and knowing that I am going out-of-town that day. Even though I would be very sleepy, I loved waking up before sunrise in Pensacola and heading to the airport. The city would be calm and I knew a day of adventure and thinking was aheadContinue reading “Planes, Trains & Automobiles”
