As I’ve taken a few days to step back from the busyness of life, I’ve found myself reflecting deeply on family, friendships, and the connections we’ve built over the years. Life has a way of moving us in directions we never could have predicted. One moment, we’re inseparable from our childhood friends or spending every

I have had a series of posts recently touching on similar subject such as this. I think this due to my own struggles with thought, stress and how we let the process rule our lives. I’m going to dive deeper and hopefully you, the reader, can figure this out with me. “If you are distressed

Pain is an inevitable part of life. We lose loved ones, we experience rejection, we face failure, and sometimes the world simply doesn’t go the way we planned. Psychology agrees: pain is unavoidable. But suffering—that lingering weight we carry long after the moment has passed—is not inevitable. Suffering is prolonged when we allow our minds

A Harsh Reality post this Sunday as I enjoy my coffee. Life’s not fair. It never was, it isn’t now, and it won’t ever be. That may sound harsh, but it’s the truth. We’re often told that if we work hard enough, play by the rules, and treat others well, life will return the favor.

As we move through life, change is inevitable. We grow, we learn, and our priorities shift. In our 20s and 30s, our social calendars may have been packed—nights out, weekend getaways, parties, or long phone calls with friends. But as we transition into our 40s, especially while raising a family and adjusting our lifestyle, that

Every morning, the alarm goes off. We groggily rise, repeat the same motions, grab the same coffee, take the same route to the same job, interact with the same people, and do the same things.
