“How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell.” This is a quote I came across recently from Johnny Cash that I really relate to. The first time I heard it, it left me with a strong impression. Life is a journey and not a destination. Read more>>

Around the walls in my 5th grade elementary classroom our teacher, Ms. English, had a saying in bold print, “Do unto others as you would like them to do to you”. It stuck with me. A very simple notion that has a huge impact on your life and those around you. Read more>>

I do actually! I wouldn’t call it a quote or a affirmation but its from a song that has touched my life in more ways than one. The lyrics are “Peace will win and fear will loose”. It’s from Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots. That song in general has spoken to me in more ways than one. Read more>>

My favorite quote of all time would have to be. “Everyday is a second chance.” What does it mean to me? you may ask? Exactly what it means, itself explanatory. Everyday you wake up it a second chance. To continue where you left of the day before whether it was a good or bad day.  Read more>>
