I had a wonderful weekend. My gift to myself for graduation was a weekend getaway to Baltimore, Maryland. I've always wanted to tour Baltimore and stay at the Inner Harbor, so I decided to take this opportunity and make a plan. Due to the chilly weather some of the things I wanted to do will… Continue reading The Journey Continues
Finding Purpose
After 5 1/2 years, two breaks, and a near nervous breakdown I have finally finished grad school. Honestly many days I wanted to give up. I literally had to take off last year because I could not cope with anything aside from work and only because it is my source of income. Now that it's… Continue reading Finding Purpose
The 3 Fs of Friendship
Had the best time out this weekend with a friend. Yes I actually said friend. I'm learning to use that word sparingly. Not everyone is deserving of that word. I consider her to be a friend because I genuinely believe she is concerned about my well-being and I am certainly concerned about her as well. We… Continue reading The 3 Fs of Friendship
Pseudo Baby Fever

Cause and Effect
Sitting here watching Oprah interview Lindsey Lohan and I truly feel for her. She looks so uncomfortable and embarrassed to even be having this conversation. One thing that has struck me is her mentioning her childhood. I always say that everyone has a story. There is a reason that people are the way they are… Continue reading Cause and Effect
Choosing You
Have you ever felt guilty about being selfish? For years I put other people's needs before my own. I held my tongue and compromised on so many things. My one desire was I wanted peace at any cost. Unfortunately the cost was too high because my internal turmoil was unbearable and still no peace. I… Continue reading Choosing You
Feeling Blah
Ever have a blah day? You know the day where you don't feel great but you aren't quite falling apart, a blah day. Well I have them often I'll confess.
