Never Alone, Eternally Loved
This week, I had the opportunity to go out for lunch with one of my newest co-workers. As we got to know one another, she started telling me about her experience in her new position.

Navigation
I like to believe that I have many strengths and skills, but navigation is not one of them. I have always been terrible at solving math problem and puzzles.

A Season of Thankfulness
Ever year around Thanksgiving, I tell myself that I am going to start trying to be more thankful throughout the year, not just on the fourth Thursday in November. Being thankful can be difficult, especially since we tend to focus on things that we wish were different in our lives. If we take a step … Continue reading A Season of Thankfulness
My Life as a Dancer
“Once a dancer, always a dancer” This phrase might sound a bit cliché, but personally I find the sentiment to be true. Dance has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Even today, dance still comes up in conversations I have with others, since I still consider it to … Continue reading My Life as a Dancer

Basically, it suggests that humans have an … Continue reading You Are Not Your Major
