11 Things We Need to Re-Learn from Kindergarten
This country, in my opinion, is falling apart and separating from each other because of our political opinions. It's sad really. It makes me miss kindergarten when everyone was friends. Everyone was learning to be polite. Everyone was friends with each other, even if you had different thoughts on the best cartoon. Maybe we should be sent back there to re-learn a few basic things:

Meaningful Holidays
It hit me this year, earlier than usual, the stress surrounding the holiday season. I walked into the local World Market days before Halloween, and there was Christmas! The holiday season has become such a shopping event, that we are being presented with Christmas trees, winter clothing, and decorations while it is still warm outside. Unfortunately, this continued redefinition of the season creates undo stress.

A Letter to My Younger Self
Dear younger me, Let's have a chat. I want to tell you about a few things that you're going to go through from about the time you turn 4, up until you're a teenager. You're not always going to have the easy route, actually you never will have that easy route, but you got this.

Mindsets I Had to Kick to the Curb
Now, I'm not here to tell you that this will help with everything. I'm not here to tell you that happiness is a choice either. What I want to talk about are the mindsets we carry with us that affect our lives every day. The choices we make are important, and how we make these decisions are even more important. Here are the mindsets I had learned over time, and then had to unlearn.

Staying Positive
You probably hear it all the time,"stay positive" or "don't let people bring you down," etc. In reality, it's hard to focus on being positive when all it really is to us is wishful thinking. To stay positive, you have to better your outlook on life. Take it step by step but be more optimistic. Everyone will always stumble into a negative position, or problem. When you do, you should ask yourself, "What is the one thing that is positive/good out of this situation?" Instead of worrying, and thinking on the downside, think about what good can come out of it, and what you can do to fix it—although it can take you time to process your thoughts and feelings it's always good to ask yourself those questions.

Things to Do When Lazy
Let’s face it, we all have those days when we just don’t feel like doing anything. I know I’ve had my share. When you’ve had a really long day, or you’re just too stressed to function, lying in bed for hours on end usually seems like the best option. But is it really?

The Danger of the Comfort Zone
The photo above pictures one of the seven wonders of the world, Victoria Falls in Zambia Africa. The picture can not, in any way, do justice of what I was able to see with my own eyes. The rainbow completed a full circle around the cliffs and the falls go for about two miles. The picture, however, was captured as close as I could get without plummeting to the bottom. I find myself doing things like this quite often, flirting with death considering—that is where I feel most alive.

Finding Home
Changing scenery is never easy. Moving can bring personal challenges, discomfort, and distance from your loved ones (both physically and mentally). It can place strain on your feeling of comfort and security, it can be frightening. However, it can also bring new people, perspectives, adventures, and growth into your life.

My Full Moon Affirmation Cleanse
With the energy that came in the month of October, I can say that this energy has impacted my life greatly. It has brought me to my knees and one point and I had to get myself back up and believe that everything has a purpose and I am grateful to simply be alive every morning.
