So many times we tell ourselves that we will "do it tomorrow" but what we fail to remember is that tomorrow is not promised. Since this is the last post for 2018, I thought it was appropriate to think for a minute, what if tomorrow never comes? How many things would we miss out on because we said we would do it tomorrow? When I think back on my own life there are many missed opportunities because I kept telling myself I would do it tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. Some of those missed opportunities I looked back on with regret and realized that I took for…

As this year is coming to an end, many of us begin thinking of what we want the new year to have in store of us. Many people start their new year resolutions and are waiting to get started once the new year is here. But I ask myself, why do we value these goals so much?

Or, is it the promise that a new something holds for us - hope. For many…

We all know that one day we will have to live through the death of our parents.  This is not something we can avoid because that is the circle of life.  Even though we know this is something that is unavoidable, nothing can really prepare us for when that day comes, especially when we lose our first parent.  As kids, we see our parents as our steadfast, always there, the people we can count on no matter what, and the one we expect to be there when life hits us with the low points.  Our parents, as much as we may not want to admit it when we are young,…

If we are totally honest with ourselves, this question of are we good enough has entered all of our minds at least once in our lives.  Actually, more than once.  It is a basic question but it can lead to great enlightenment through self reflection or it can take us down a dark path to a place of doubt that can do more harm than good.  I can not count the number of times this question has entered my own mind.  As a child I remember asking myself this many times.  As a young adult navigating the choppy waters of high school and then college this question entered my mind…
