...fall into a poem, that may even inspire you... She felt beatenLike ropes on sunburnt skinHer tears swollen against her She laid thereNo words spokenHer breath just a beat She couldn’t lift her armRaise a word from her mouthSmell the fire around her Her life a furyHer heart a mazeHer head ready to fight She wasn’t one to lay downShe ...
Love a little harder
It's easy to not try, give up, move on, not check in, feel too busy, or think I'll get back to that person later. But what if we keep making excuses, or not "finding" time... sometimes, it becomes too late. We may lose that friend or significant other or relative. They may decide, we've given ...
you are not weak
I am friends with many strong, independent, hard-working, intelligent, bad ass women. It gives me pleasure to have them in my "tribe" and surrounding myself with people who are driven, good-hearted, striving for more each day, and still making time for the little things. What we have to remember is, we don't have to keep ...
Flight, Hide or Fight?
In my last job we had not just fire drills, but armed shooter drills and what we were to do if there was ever such a situation in our huge tower of an office building. These days as we all know it's more and more common -- in offices and in schools. Scary, yet necessary, ...

Getting through the week

Overcome the Fear of Failure
If you've failed once, maybe twice, or thrice... you cant help but be a little gun shy the next time around. It can give a dip in confidence, create anxiety and at times avoidance of the things we should be pursuing. But how the hell does that help us? It doesn't...obviously. So instead, let's beat ...
Perseverance
Written by blog contributor, Kellie Knapp. What does that word mean to you? Have you experienced it? Are you in the middle of persevering right now? I have always known what perseverance meant. Heck, I persevered through my undergraduate and graduate degrees. But up until a few weeks ago, I didn’t truly know what perseverance meant. So ...
Build
I can't help it, it's that time of year again. Time to think through what I accomplished, my downfalls, and what I hope to do even better next year. It's not about criticizing what I didn't do, but seeing what more I want from myself this year. It's not about losing a certain amount of ...
