Take a Break

 In 2016, over half of Americans failed to use all of their paid vacation time! That’s insane to think about! Fifty-four percent is a lot of people, and if you were one of them, you might want to rethink how you use this year’s paid time off. You may think that if you step away from your job for a …

Doing What you Love

With all of the stress that we experience in our daily life sometimes it just feels good to unwind after a long day. Work, school, relationship problems, sitting in traffic, and dealing with rude people can really start to take a toll on your general well-being. In my free time I like to watch TV. If I could, I would …

Me Time

Our days are constantly filled with people. We wake up and there are people (unless you live by yourself). We get in our car and there are other people on the road. We go to work and there are other people working with us. We go to the gym, to the store to run errands, to school, to church, to …

Leaving the bad Behind You

Have you ever witnessed someone in a destructive relationship that they couldn’t seem to get away from? For whatever reason, this couple didn’t seem to work. They were constantly fighting with each other or maybe one of them was physically or mentally abusive to their partner. The point is, it didn’t work. The relationship was bad. Looking at the situation …
