What many of us are unaware of, though, are the more … More Here’s how to recognize anxiety
In conversation with my mom, dad and sister the other day, I had a bit of an epiphany, if you will.

Perfection, as alluring as it seems, can be a dangerous thing to associate with.

I’ve been diagnosed with Obsessive … More The importance of distancing ourselves from perfection

I believe the act of comparing ourselves to others is an integral component of being human.

Pets are, in my opinion, one of the greatest familial additions you can have. If we’re being honest, sometimes pets are better than our actual human family members.
