Hate Will Never be a Prize
In a standard marathon, there are thousands of participants, from thousands of backgrounds, with thousands of stories to tell.

Thank You, Kobe.
This past weekend might have been a lot of things for a lot of people, but there was one collective moment most of us shared. It was an awful moment. The kind we’ll replay over and over again.

If I Had a Nickel…
So I know it’s usually a joke or a cliché or whatever you want to call it, but the other day I sat down and really considered how rich I could be if I ever did get a nickel or a quarter or, can you imagine, a dollar for every time I did or said… Continue reading

Give Thursday a Chance
So it’s Thursday. Which means it’s almost Friday. Which means it’s practically the end of the entire week. Which means there’s no point in starting anything now. Right? All those goals you’ve been meaning to start pursuing. That something new you’ve been wanting to try. Those chores you’ve been needing to get done. There’s no… Continue reading
