Face it, we are all struggling in our own little way. We all are in the middle of a storm. Even if we had just gotten out of one, there is another one waiting to strike. To me, life is all about progression. It's knowing that the person who is waking up this morning is different from the one who woke up the day before.

Intrusive thoughts are those pesky little ideas, images, or voices that pervade your present mind and derails your focus and attention. I can't even count the number of times that I am bothered by my wandering mind.

Many do not know this, but my New Year's Resolution this year was to become comfortable in silence. I have always been accustomed to living in a fast paced, loud, environment that anything less than this made me uncomfortable.

Last week I was in a funk. This usually happens when I have a lot of down time and little energy. I thrive on being busy and constantly on the move, especially when it has to do with my career. Like many of us, I am very career oriented and (as much as I hate to admit it), most of my waking minutes are dedicated to progressing myself in that area of my life.

We’ve all been there. Heated arguments with our boyfriend reminding him that dirty socks belong in the hamper. Yelling at the girl next to you in the study room because she just won't shut up. Flipping the bird to the guy who hopped into your cab after hailing it.

Welcome back from the holidays y'all! I hope you're all feeling relaxed, refreshed and rebooted, ready to take on the new year! January has always been one of my favourite months of the year. It is a representation of a fresh start, new beginnings, and hope for growth.

I'm going to give me some credit. I managed to avoid 4 out of my 5 Christmas NO NO list items. Pat on the back for me for sticking to (most) of my guns. The stressor that I failed to avoid was my last minute Christmas shopping habit. I usually almost always leave it to a few days before Christmas.

This weekend I thought it would be a great idea to put a twist on a Christmas tradition that I have been doing for years now. Typically, a week before the holidays, you can find me in the kitchen baking up a storm.

Christmas season is an excellent time for reflection. The year is coming to an end and the new year is upon us. December/January has always been a time for me to take a look at the past year and think about the amount of change I have gone through in the span of 12 months.
