I don’t think the people who know me would call me a people pleaser, but I can definitely see it as a quality of others and how ingenuine it is say yes to just about everything. I look at people say yes to a request at the sacrifice of their own happiness. Watching it hurts…

I’m rereading the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman, and I’ve come to the realization that we should relegate these languages to just romantic relationships. I believe they should be used for all of our relationships. As a fairly new manager, I’m finding ways to keep the people I work with happy with me and…

The journal prompt I had for today was to define what love means to me. It’s also the day after Valentine’s Day, so love is in the air. Truth is, I’ve never really felt love, or what I would think to be love. I would guess that love is something that’s a natural euphoria. It…

There are a few things that I do that try to stay grounded while working through stress throughout the day. Work and other priorities are not my idea of relaxation, but there are more than just those 8 hours of the day for me to relax and have some me time. I’ll just give you…

I have a fear of drowning. I would really love to get rid of this fear because during the summer, the most fun thing to do is going to the beach, or hit the pool. My place is right by the beach, and yet, I don’t go. The fear could be irrational because I hardly…
