It is so amazing to me just how much the world can manage to slow down when it needs to. I do not know if it is just me or if other people are feeling the same way ( if so, comment and let me know ); but, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders over the past couple of weeks. It has been so amazing to slow down everything in life and just focus on one thing, one issue, one day and one moment at a time. I was driving back to Peoria a few days ago and had several hours to just think. To reflect on the past couple of weeks and really think about what does this whole pandemic mean. For starters, I realized everything slowed down to a pace that allows us to really think, and for some people who are not ready to do that, this shelter in place will be terrible. Second, it put things into perspective - weighing out what really matters in life. Why do I waste my precious moments of life, caught in the struggle of other people, allowing them to get you hooked in their l

Hey Loves! Thank you so much for rocking with me! I wanted to provide you with a little update on my life since my last post.

You know what I always say...  "If time were the currency by which we measure the success of our lives; would we spend it di

"I've gotta keep the calm before the storm I don't want less, I don't want more Must bar the windows and the doors To keep me safe, to keep me warm Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore And my voice becomes the driving force I won't let this pull me overboard." I have always tried to be very honest and open with you. So I must start by saying this is one of the more deep posts. You cannot begin to imagine the difficultly of having such a clear understanding of what love is and life, but feel so incapable of living what you know. I have had a challenging few years, mainly personally, that care to a complete tipping point this past week. I am a work in progress and strive for improvement over perfection, but fall into the idea of perfection. At least outwardly. As much as I say perfection doesn’t matter for some reason (that will require a lot of reflection) I seem to strive for it. Th
