Strolling through a quiet town after dinner we talked about life in a way we hadn’t before. Usually, conversations like this are blurted out between sobs of frustration. Tonight we talk about pain…about my pain…but tonight we talk about it in a place of peace. An hour ago we ate tacos and laughed at the memories of our first date at that exact table nearly...

I’m a strong believer in the power of words. More specifically, I believe in the power of “the quote”. Our culture is full of quotes. We consume them 140 characters at a time.

What causes such deep thoughts in an otherwise unimportant moment of life? Maybe we don’t all experience these moments…maybe for some they’re so fleeting...

This past week I was driving through my apartment complex and subconsciously began complaining about all the speed bumps. Nobody likes these things! It got me thinking…why do we even have speed bumps if we all dislike them? What’s the point of something that’s a complete annoyance every time I drive through the parking lot? Obviously the answer is that it makes us slow down....

Sometimes the most incredible things happen in our lives in the most mundane moments. I wish I could remember who shared it with me or where I read it. I wish I had a source of wisdom to point others towards for inspiration. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the moment… I do remember the content of that moment. I remember the challenge was to regularly ask...

Hugs have always been awkward for me… I never know when I’m supposed to hug someone or not. I’ve always been jealous of the people who seem to easily just say “I’m a hugger” and give someone a giant bear hug. We all have those friends…they’re just good huggers. They’re confident in who they are and they know that others around them need a hug...
