MIND. BODY. SOUL.
I recently read an article in the New York Times about the "case for doing nothing" and it made me think --- when do we, make time for doing "nothing"...not checking our phones, not watching tv, not making a to do list, just nothing. It seems like a foreign concept even to myself, I realize ...
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.

Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. You are valid just the way you are. Read that again. I am reading it again, because I have been struggling with that recently.

Did you know the majority of folks, especially millennials do not take their full vacation time? It's not just for the sake of not having enough money for vacation, but more so because of falling behind at work, or looking poorly to their superiors. They want to be on top of their job, at all ...
We approach so many folks in our lives. Some for a moment, some for a lifetime. But which ones truly deserve us? Over the last year I came across an individual who seemed pleasant at first.

Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. As I sit here writing this post, I am anxiously waiting to get to the nearest bookstore and purchase the book, “Girl, Stop Apologizing” by Rachel Hollis. It’s been on my to-read list for months and the day has finally arrived. But apologizing to people isn’t what this post is about. This ...
There was a day, when a friend jeopardized our friendship by creating distance through unanswered calls, little to no texts, and not even the regular holiday or birthday messages.
