Progress not perfection

We are all guilty of this, we set expectations for ourselves, we make to do lists, fill our agendas with stickies and break down are days by the minute to make sure we can fit it all in. We cater to ideas that surround us of how others are going around accomplishing things. It's never …

Better

Last week I talked about my hopes for a more streamlined year, I spent a majority of this week trying to focus all the areas of my life. The reality is we all wear many hats, we are students, we are parents, we have jobs, to isolate out only one area and make it your …

A lesson from my 3 year old

Honestly, to this day, one of the biggest things that surprise me is how much adults can learn from children about life. I know it sounds weird, I mean we have a lot more life experience than them, what could they possibly have to teach us? The reality is quite a bit. So let me …
