Receiving seems natural, right? It balances the act of giving. However, receiving doesn’t always come natural to some people. I am a giver by nature. I love giving to friends and family and whoever I can. It’s not as selfless as it sounds. I get something out of it. I feel valued, important, and appreciated, […]

The Magic of Belief
A lot is happening in my life right now at an incredibly fast pace. I do enjoy living in the fast lane, as speed is one of my favorite things. If you know me, you already know. But this is like, galactic speed. When I ride (my motorcycles, for those who don’t know or have […]
