It is easy to become overwhelmed by the holidays and the start of the new year. We place added pressure on ourselves to find the perfect gifts and live up to some almost unattainable resolutions. And in the process, we miss what the holidays are really meant to be. While gifts and celebrations are fun, this is a time to remember and create positive thoughts for the future. We hear the holiday music and smile.…
I wanted to pass along some information about an amazing young lady who is working to make a difference in her community. And while this is a senior project that was assigned to her, I know that it is only one of many that she focuses on to help others.

Start each day with a moment spent giving thanks for all of the people in your life who have helped you become the person that you are today. Even if it was someone who was unkind, they taught you a lesson about empathy and kindness. And they need your kind thoughts and prayers as much as anyone in your life. Then continue your day looking for ways to pay it forward by helping and inspiring…
I was reminded of some very profound words today that came from a person who has always been wise beyond his years. After nearly a decade of courageous fighting, my father was nearing the end of his battle with cancer. We could all see it, but I couldn’t bring myself to believe it. Somehow he always found a way to fight back when the doctors told us there was no hope. But this time was…
As 2019 comes to a close, I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported the website and by extension, me over the first full year of its “life.” I must admit that this project has been more challenging at times than I ever expected. But the rewards have been far beyond my wildest dreams. Only with the help and collaboration of many wonderful people have we made it through infancy. -Completing daily…
Don’t be afraid to step outside of the box. That box is just a place for you to gather your thoughts and create your plan before you change the world. Jump outside the box and show the world who you are and all that makes you a unique and amazing force in this world.
As you all know, life can really stink. We have things that happen to us that just are not fair. Sometimes we have a constant loop of unfair events occur in our lives. With all this negativity happening in our lives, we have a tendency to put up an invisible bubble around us, to keep ourselves safe. But that is the worst thing you can do. You are not helping yourself. You are only hurting…

Each of us is filled with hope and positivity that we can use to illuminate our path and the path of others. But just like a lightbulb, our light can be turned off by negativity, self-doubt, and pure exhaustion. Remember that to shine your light to help others, you must first care for yourself. Feed your inner happiness by surrounding yourself with positivity, look in the mirror, and see your successes, not failures, and take…
Life is not a solitary path. There are a great many people who have had a profound impact on our lives and helped us to achieve our hopes, dreams, and goals. There are even more people who have touched our lives for only a moment. But in that single moment, the person changed the trajectory of where we were headed and what we accomplished on our journey. And he or she might not even know…
