Happy Mother’s Day
Dear Momma, Who knew it was possible for someone to be so kind, selfless, supportive, and generous. I do not think my words can do justice to illustrating the true depth of your love because honestly I can’t fully comprehend it myself. It’s just too massive and seems to possess infinite dimensions. Maybe these little…

Truth
The enemy is not me. The enemy is not him. There is no enemy. Just simply an immovable Truth. It just is what it is. Something to respect and accept. The enemy is not me. The enemy is not our past selves and all that we did or didn’t do. There is no enemy. Just…

You Don’t Need Permission
As I sit in my backyard, not really knowing what day it is or how long we as a society have had to adapt to our new reality, I secretly feel grateful for what this time has brought me. When I say secretly, I don’t mean I am hiding these feelings of gratitude from others,…

Just Speak
Write assertively or passively. All that matters is you write. Speak fiercely or calmly. All that matters is you speak. Sing songs of joy or songs of melancholy. All that matters is you sing. No matter the form of your communication, that which you have to share is valuable. It may pack a punch or…

Affirmations
Affirmations build self worth… It is fascinating that there are 7 billion people on this planet and yet each person lives in their own unique world based on their individual perspectives, past experiences, and interpretations of reality.

Grandma
It’s been 2 years since you left. That’s how I feel, like you left us… but in reality you just moved on to the next stage of your existence, to a pure place of peace. The thought of you being somewhere like that makes me calm, but I still can’t help the selfish part of…

The Magic of Vision Boards
My good friend Gaby introduced me to vision boards in our freshman year of college and I have been hooked since. Before I jump into raving about how much I love vision boards, let me first explain what a vision board is… A vision board is a visual representation of your own personal dreams, goals,…

Favorite Coffee Shops in San Marcos
Nothing calms me more than sitting at a spacious table with work sprawled out (either school related or just creative), taking in the warm scent of coffee and pastries, soaking in the unique aesthetic, and humming along to chill songs in a coffee shop. For someone who doesn’t drink coffee, I sure do love me…
