Rejection – The Salt That Gets Rubbed On The Wound
Expectations, hopes, desires, wants, and even love can lead us down a road of rejections. Where each rejection hurts a little worse then the one before. When we are born in this world, we are not given a pamphlet of instructions that tells us a step-by-step plan of our life.

Being Thankful for All the No’s
Rejection, a term that most, if not all people dread to hear and feel. According to the English dictionary the term “rejection” means “the dismissing or refusing of a proposal, idea, etc, and the spurning of a person’s affections.” Personally, I have felt “rejection” can mean dismissing an entire person, not just the ideas orContinue reading “Being Thankful for All the No’s”

This week I met up with a friend for a social distancing lunch. As we got to talking, the topic of college admissions was brought up.

What is unique this year, is due to covid-19, apparently SAT testing has beenContinue reading “People Pleasing and the Art of Losing Oneself”
The Salt of Gratitude
As I have mentioned before, salt is used quite often in symbolism, especially in the biblical sense. In the Christian faith there is a phrase that is used along the message of gratitude, they start by saying a little boy once said the following: “Salt is what spoils potatoes when it is left out” theContinue reading “The Salt of Gratitude”
R.E.S.P.E.C.T – Do you have it?
This week’s recipe is something to nourish your body and help cool it down in this heat – a form of respecting your body with food: a fruit smoothie.
