The fact of the matter is that each of us lives inside our own little isolated bubble.

One of the most common “easier said than done” scenarios that I’m sure many of us face on a regular, if not daily, basis is that of simple communication. It’s almost funny to think how often it happens that we find ourselves in a situation where we have a clear message in mind, and when… Read More
This month, we welcomed a new addition to our family in the form of a baby cockatoo. She’s chatty, she’s extremely affectionate, she loves to dance and sing, and she will do just about anything for a handful of peanuts. Most of the time, she’s just about as silly and adorable as it gets – with… Read More
The Endless Cycle of Giving
Nothing can be gained without giving something up first. It’s a concept that I’m sure we’re all familiar with, even if sometimes we don’t always like to admit the truth of it. We spend our day at work and give up our time in order to earn a living; friends and coworkers come and go,… Read More
Personal Bubbles
It’s easy to get lost in the routines of our own little personal bubbles of life. Many of the little things each of us do on a day-to-day basis, everything from having a certain radio station to listen to while making breakfast or a rhythm that is tapped out with a pencil while trying to… Read More
Mental Mud
Let’s be perfectly honest: life can get a little overwhelming. More than just a little, actually. Life never really stops, and oftentimes can feel like we’re wading through the mud, fighting and struggling to cut through the pressing murk as the pressures of life try to swallow us whole. And when it does, it’s all… Read More
Overcoming The Extended Memorial Day Weekend Slump
Memorial Day is here again. As is always the case, the holiday of remembrance heralds in the familiar sights, smells, and sounds of the beginning of Summer. Everywhere hangs colorful flags; suburban fathers wheel out the backyard barbecues, fighting and cursing at the long-disused apparatus as it refuses to light; firecrackers are soon to be… Read More
Start Spring with a Fun Frame of Mind
With the advent of spring comes one of the most polarizing holidays on the calendar – April Fools’ Day. No other day of the year so clearly divides the populace into two distinct categories of people: those pulling pranks on those around them and having a good laugh, and the groaning crowds of people looking… Read More
Sound Mind, Sound Body
It’s a situation that most of us are probably all too familiar with – you sit down to start the day, and before you know it, you look over at the clock and realize you’ve been glued to your desk for the last several hours. Suddenly, you feel the effects of remaining stagnant and busy… Read More
I’ll Get Right On It… Eventually
We all know that person who claims that they work best under pressure. Call it what you will; “Last-Minute Panic,” “Waiting For the Muse,” “Deferring Action,” it all comes down the same concept in the end – procrastination. The awful truth of it is that it’s all too easy to wait and keep putting things… Read More
The Problem with New Year’s Resolutions
As the holidays come around and, just as quickly, begin to wind down, it becomes the hot topic of the season. Everywhere you look, every social media site, every independent online article, every conversation, turns to focus on the subject of the New Years’ Resolution. Whether losing weight, saving more money, finally getting around to… Read More
Helping Hand
There’s an age-old saying which I’m certain everyone has heard before at least once in their life: “There is no ‘I’ in ‘Team.”’ It’s a message meant to convey the simple truth that no one person can carry a group by themselves. The purpose is to dissuade any notion of selfishness and instead promote interactive… Read More
