We all know it to be true. Gratitude has always had a way of making a poor situation better. Of finding that silver lining when we can truly only see the grey cloud. But how do we go about bringing more gratitude into our lives? Here are a few tips that have helped me open… Continue reading the power of gratitude
fires in south los angeles
I know I’ve only just decided to begin blogging again and I intended to catch up on my life and the what’s haps, but I would be unwell if I didn’t try to address what is currently happening around me. As of just a few days ago, there have been multiple major wildfires around us… Continue reading fires in south los angeles
Has it really been 7 years?
I mean…I guess so, hasn’t it? This is awkward. How do you reintroduce yourself to someone you haven’t spoken with in over seven years? Do I talk about what’s happened in that time? Do I start anew? What’s the etiquette regarding this? Well, I’ll start with some changes. Since my last post, I graduated from… Continue reading Has it really been 7 years?
Baby Steps to Success
It’s funny people tell me quite often that I should write about my life because, hello, I do have a blog, But people having to bring it up reminds me of something important: I don’t write as often as I need to. I talk about writing being my release and how I love blogging and poetry… Continue reading Baby Steps to Success
We Hate Things. It’s Whatever.
Trying to like everything and be likable by everyone really blows. That may sound insensitive or rude, but it’s true. Trying to be happy and healthy and loving about everything all the time is just ridiculous. It’s unrealistic. Being completely honest, it makes perfect sense for you to hate one of your coworkers. Or that… Continue reading We Hate Things. It’s Whatever.

You’re Allowed to Have Good Things (Don’t Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise)
For the longest time I told myself I didn’t deserve to be happy. Or that I deserved nice things. Or that I deserved to be treated well. Or that anything good, really, served me any purpose because I simply didn’t deserve it. This notion came from the thought process that there are people that have… Continue reading You’re Allowed to Have Good Things (Don’t Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise)
Time Away is Still Okay!!
If you look at the date of when I last posted, you would think I abandoned my blog. And to be utterly and completely honest with you, I was so busy that I forgot I had one (I also forgot everything else I needed to do in that time so I’m not sure if that’s… Continue reading Time Away is Still Okay!!
Be Nice to Yourself (and Others)
I recently chose to reread a book that I bought a little while ago (David D. Burns’ Feeling Good) with hopes that I could actually get something out of it this time. In the book there’s this exercise in which the reader pinpoints all of his/her negative thoughts and tries to rewrite them into something… Continue reading Be Nice to Yourself (and Others)
One Day at a Time
I’m writing this about five minutes after having bawled to Stevie Wonder in the middle of my yoga practice today. Believe me when I say that wasn’t how I expected my yoga practice to go, but that’s how it went. And I’m so glad it did go that way. It dawned on me that I’ve… Continue reading One Day at a Time
