Another article of mine was selected for the school’s news blog – woohoo! I should really start diversifying my submissions moving forward, but I can’t say I don’t enjoy seeing my name posted as a contributing writer for Full Sail University. It’s a pretty big ego boost! Since I cannot post a direct link, here…
I realize that I’m a little old for a quarter life crisis and a bit too young for a mid-life crisis, yet I feel this sudden urge to flip my world upside down. Is there such a thing as a one-third life crisis? If so, I think I may be having one. I want to…
Yesterday, I did something I’ve never done before. Something that no one would have likely guessed I would ever do in my life. I ran in the Savage Race, a brutal six mile obstacle course in Dade City, Florida. The event was literally described as the “race designed to kick your ass.” And it did.…

This pretty much sums up all of my feelings about writing, as well. Well said, Cristian Mihai!
Is there such a thing as balance? Can one organize and compartmentalize each aspect of their life, tucking away a piece here and there until the floor is clean? Can I stow my workaholic tendencies on the accent table, adjacent to my keys and the morning mail, so that I can truly unwind and relax…
