Inspirations
The Past Created My Present
What has passed isn't meant to be forgotten. No matter how an experience unraveled for us, it brought lessons and gifts that we hold in the present. Continuously take time to appreciate the gifts you hold within!
Honoring Old Experiences
:Tucking discomfort away in a moment makes it easier to get by but something is missing. Though scars can be hidden beneath long hair, they still exist and are a part of who I am. It’s time to enjoy its fullness.
I Have Placed My Best
Without focusing on perfection or what should be, I make a heartfelt connection with what I am doing and know that I am doing my best. How I treat my task will contribute to its result.
Instead of Perfection
Living with epilepsy taught me that perfection is an illusion. When changes occur, it is best that I know myself, be willing to do my best and work with what is available. Changes are continuous in any situation and I can only offer my best at the moment. What does not turn out has the potential to offer something new.
Present for the Experience
Letting go of the need to control a situation clears my mind, allowing me to fully embrace the process. When I release preconceived ideas, the experience transforms into an adventure that I value.
You Don’t Have to Know to Survive
I was taught that having knowledge and being able to recite it would prove my intelligence and assist my survival. My life doesn’t align with that and I’ve learned that a curiosity for learning and a willingness to accept not-knowing offers more discoveries and allows me to survive with the treasure I held within.
Promise of Development
The journey to achieve greatness often distracts me from remembering that I am human and still developing. Perceiving what doesn’t go my way as reminders and lessons presents hope for more to come.

The Train of Life
A reflection on Life’s fast pace and a remembrance on why it’s important for me to know why I journey.
Respect Every Decision
Make no judgment against how a person chooses to learn. Respect individual paths and don’t assume to know.
Search For Knowledge
