Nurturing Body, Mind, Soul and Spirit
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 […]
There’s a bit of confusion when it comes to striving for excellence and striving for perfection. Perfection is unattainable. Striving for perfection keeps you parallel from not doing anything because everything done is going to have some fault in it. Striving for excellence means having higher standards. Higher standards come with the territory of continual […]
In this article, I’m going to tell you to do something that may seem oxymoronic. It’s something that I’m struggling to do myself. I grew up with a lot of fear, and I’ve slowly been conquering them. One of them being my fear of water. What if I told you that some of the most […]
I think you read this from here, almost every time I write a new blog post. Our world is so go, go, go. We place a lot of emphasis on taking action, and if we aren’t doing something, we are doing nothing. As if nothing was a bad thing. The absence of something is very […]

It still grieves me to believe that Kobe Bean Bryant is no longer with us. I just wrote about how he impacted my life yesterday. I didn’t think I’d be writing about him as a eulogy to his life, but here I am. Kobe taught me a lot, so I really don’t know where to […]
If I were to write a letter to my teenage self, I would write, “Dear Andrew, Confidence has nothing to do with your outer appearance.” I was a fat kid growing up. I don’t think I can deny that. In high school, I reached about 195 pounds. I honestly didn’t like what I saw. With […]
