I have always been viewed as "mother" among friends and family; even at a young age. Whenever someone is in need of advice and/or guidance, they come to me; they even refer others to me. I use the logic and common sense that my father instilled in me, to help others. Now, I'd like to help more than just those who are around me. Part of how I can help others is to share my own personal stories. Hopefully, they will relate to anyone going through the same things I've been through. Having someo ...

I have learned that, in life, sometimes we have to know when to take a break (or even quit, if necessary). If something is meant to be, life will bring it back around. We have to be patient and trust & believe that. I took some time away to assess this new goal I placed in my life; I needed to know if it was serving me and more importantly, was I s…

We are human so naturally, we are going to desire being petty at times. Most Life Coaches, Motivational Speakers or Mental Health Guru's would tell us to "rise above it". Often times we are left asking, "How?". Well, I do something very simple to help me rise above; I weigh the Pros and Cons of the situation. I ask myself, 'if I choose the petty ro…

Most people seem to date effortlessly, but not me. I often feel like I couldn't date to save my own life.
