Don't be sad that it's over, just be glad that it happened to us. That's the first line of a song that's been on repeat since this morning. It's a song I'm sure a lot of girls play after a breakup, but that's not why I'm playing it. I'm playing it because my heart is preparing ...

I had a moment today that really got my blood boiling. Someone told me they'd complete a task earlier in the week and instead, didn't get back to me until this weekend.

Not only is it a passion of mine, but real estate investing is something more and more 20-somethings are beginning to do. In ...

It's been a long time since I've written. I'd like to blame it on the busyness of life. I'd like to blame it on not having anything to write about. But if I were honest... I'd say I've been scared to write. You see, writing makes me vulnerable. It exposes a side of me and my heart that ...
