No surefire feeling. No certainty. No predictability. No stability. …chaos. Reflection of your younger self. When you thought you had it all figured out. The world at your fingertips. Endless hopes. Ambitious dreams. And then one day, you realize: you’ve changed. …calm. Growth is necessary. It is warranted to calm theContinue reading “Chaos and the Calm”

Never Ending Journey
K It’s Sunday morning. I’m lying in bed, phone in hand, as I jot down an array of thoughts running through my mind. It’s always hard for me to get them all down on paper (or in this case, on “digital paper”), mainly because I over analyze my thoughts before I’m even fully done thinkingContinue reading “Never Ending Journey “
The Absence of Fear
Have you ever taken a step back and deeply thought about all of the moments in life that scared you? Do you look back on those moments and realize that, in the big picture, your reasons for being scared were pretty insignificant? If you said yes to either one of these questions, then know thatContinue reading “The Absence of Fear”
Turning Points
So you just got that big promotion at your job. Maybe you just found out that you’re going to be a parent or a grandparent. You may have just answered a very important question in which the answer was simply “yes,” and now you realize that you will soon be planning the “big day” thatContinue reading “Turning Points “
A Little Reflection on Life
When I first sat down to write today, I honestly had no idea where to even begin. Up until now the only writing I’ve been able to do has been 20+ page research papers on anything ranging from the Affordable Care Act to Baldrige Award Winning Hospitals in the U.S. to the operational plan behindContinue reading “A Little Reflection on Life”
Louisiana Strong
It’s no secret that Baton Rouge and its surrounding areas have been dealing with one thing after another lately. Since the early days of July, it doesn’t really seem like there’s been any sense of normalcy around here. One minute, we’re all over every news station in the country because of two violent (and somewhatContinue reading “Louisiana Strong”
Beautiful, Amazing
I wrote this quite a few years ago when I was going through a pretty rough time in my life. It’s something that I look back on quite often to remind myself of my struggles that have ultimately turned into my strength. So, for those of you who may be feeling a little down aboutContinue reading “Beautiful, Amazing”
Blind to the Beauty
I’m really at a loss for words at the amount of unspeakable tragedies I’ve been hearing about lately. It seems that every day, I turn on the news, and I hear about another life being lost. Another daughter, sister, niece, mother, son, brother, nephew, or father had their life cut short due to careless andContinue reading “Blind to the Beauty”
A Leap of Faith
Change. Good change. Bad change. Unexpected change. It’s something that is bound to happen in our lives at some point in time, whether we’re ready for it or not. We may choose it or it may just happen on its own. Sometimes, it can be pretty scary…taking that big leap of faith, taking risks, gettingContinue reading “A Leap of Faith”
A Light in the Dark
I know it’s been quite some time since I’ve written anything here. To say that life has been busy and time just seems to slip away from me would be an absolute understatement, but it would also be the absolute truth. I came across a quote the other day that stated “this past yearContinue reading “A Light in the Dark”
