Yesterday I got a chance to experience something new. I went out of town for work. When I finished my day, I decided to go for a walk on the beach. I’ve never been to the beach by myself. It was so relaxing. It’s something about the water that is so calming, the cares of the world no longer matter. There’s so much freedom in being close to the water with the crush of the waves. On my way out of town, I called one of my friends. We have this running joke, whenever I leave the office during the day, I call or text saying, I’m freeeeeeee. LOL. As…

Move Forward Freely
Last night as I was trying to go to sleep, I had this vision of someone trying to move forward, they were moving but going no where fast. I realized they were not going anywhere because there was something pulling them from behind. Instantly I thought, what’s holding me back? I’ve recognized at times I can hold on to things, whether it’s a grudge or just someone doing something bad to me, I hold on to it. Recently, I experienced someone lying to me and I’ve had thoughts of confronting the person to let them know that knew that they flat out lied, but then I thought, what good would…
