We all have them. It could be a pen, a necklace, an old stuffed animal, or even a movie. Little bits of comfort that make us feel either at home, calmer, and/or just comforted. It's helpful to have these things, especially in our most stressful environments - such as work. And sometimes it's nice to ...
What makes you, you?
Each of us are unique...and it would be damn boring if we weren't. No one wants to be telling the same jokes or having the same level of intelligence...we would not get as far in life or in society if we were. Could you imagine not having Einstein? What makes you, you? I know I have some ...
It’s complicated…
Where do you start? Life is just plain complicated. We run around in circles sometimes, trying to get the result we want by doing the same thing over and over. Sounds a bit like insanity. We wish we could simplify our daily lives. Make our future clearer. Find a way to solve our issues with ...
Do people change?
I've heard many times from folks, on TV, etc that "people don't change" --- that down in their core they're always going to remain the same. If they're stubborn, they will remain that way. If they're selfish, they won't adapt to the positive. To some extent I believe that to be true. If someone has ...
Overcome the negative thoughts
It happens, we just can't help it - sometimes we wind up in this tornado of negative thoughts whether it's towards someone else, a situation, ourselves, or just overall. It's no bueno. So how do we break through that tornado? Push those negative thoughts aside? Or at least temper them so we aren't all consumed ...
Friends who show up
Friendship has a lot of definitions, and can go from people who speak a couple times a year but that bond is strong, to those who speak almost everyday and know everything about one another, to those who barely speak but hang out casually when they can. Whatever the type, friendships are important and impact ...
Find Your Tribe and Love Them Hard
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. This overly used saying is plastered everywhere on social media, on portraits in stores and in so many others places. But it’s not just a saying, it’s truth. Our tribes are a group of like-minded individuals who share the same passions, goals and genuinely care for one another on a level that isn’t ...
Love a little harder
L.o.v.e. The "lovely" hallmark holiday Valentine's Day is around the corner, and we know this because all of our local stores have been draped in red and pink since Christmas. The hearts, the teddy bears, the chocolates, and the roses - you can't forget the roses. For some of us it's a flutter in our hearts. ...
Soulmates or friends?
What's your reality? The romantic comedies, the tv shows, the novels, and even some of us, think there is one soulmate out there for each of us. And somehow in those movies in all the people in the world, somehow their soulmate is just around the corner, a high school sweetheart, or a prince who just ...
music to the rescue
Sometimes the right tune, lyrics, or album can mark a turning point in our emotions or thoughts in that exact moment. It can allow us to feel deeper, allow us to release feelings we've been holding in, feel powerful, get excited, and/or remember memories that we forgot about until that song came back on. Here's ...
