Is the path you are following leading you towards a purposeful life? If you answered no, consider reading Habakkuk 2:2 "And the Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain..." Don't allow yourself to get distracted from your original plan just because of a few fears or mishaps that occur along the way. Life can often times mimic your interactions with your GPS guide; in the sense that you are rerouted due too unforeseen accidents, traffic, detours, or larg

Have you ever just sat in a room feeling lonely, lost, confused, or exhausted from trying to adult all day. Sitting there with your thoughts and haven't quite figured out how you feel. Breathe in and exhale the idea that the walls around you do talk...."The candle" said that my optimism burns brighter than anyone I know.

Do you ever feel like an impostor? Walking around pretending to feel happy or normal. Who even knows what the hell is considered normal and by whose definition is considered valid.

Standing still on a sidewalk in Nevada reminded me of how great nature is outside of my circumstances. In life we go through valleys and then sometimes we have hills to climb.

Have you ever just sat and thought who would act as the leading role in your life's script. If so, would you be pleased if they were only given one take to leave your life's mark on this world? Overwhelming to think about, I know. Whomever you choose, you have to make a choice to start living life fully in the PRESENT. Experience everything that you ever thought or wondered about. Take care of yourself, family, and friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird, and random. Go out and
