I have a day job, and I really enjoy it. I work as a Registered Medical Assistant in a thriving surgical practice and I really love what I do and I love the people with whom I work. I am always in a great mood when I arrive at the office, because I believe that your attitude when you walk through the door will set the tone for the day. Like the quote says, “Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness.” And I believe that because I like what I do gives me the freedom […]
The Beautiful Side of Nascar
Nascar is popular because of the drivers who race, week after week, in hopes to not only win that week’s race, but to ultimately be crowned Nascar champ at the end of the season. But behind some of my favorite Nascar drivers is a supportive woman who are popular in their own right. So in honor of today’s Daytona 500, the biggest race of the racing season, I thought I’d introduce you to some of the beautiful women behind some of the NASCAR drivers.

Ashley Graham Gets “Real”
If you don’t know who Ashley Graham is, then you must be out of the loop. She is a fashion and lingerie model, a role model for women everywhere, and a woman who just so happens to be beautifully curvy. She is also one of three beautiful women featured in the upcoming swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated. This Nebraska native recently said that people needed to stop putting labels on curvy women. “You know, I don’t like to use the words ‘real women,’ honestly,” she said. “I like to use the word woman. And I say that because there are so […]
Lent: A Season of Reflection & Promise
I have written about Lent a couple of times in the past, and every year, I feel encouraged by giving up something that I feel is either bad for me or distracts me from my purpose in life. In the past, I have given up simple things like Diet Coke and chocolate, while last year I gave up Facebook. Photo Source: PoetrySync via Pinterest I know the ashes are to remind us that we are all dust, and to dust we all shall return. It’s also a good reminder that life is precious. I’ve heard and read of people […]
