Lately I’ve been carving out a little time each day to really focus on the good in my life. I’ve been reading about the power of positivity and gratitude, and how those thoughts can actually reshape the brain. It’s been fun to put these ideas into practice. Our recent move back to Texas gave me plenty of opportunities to test this out. Read more>>

Lately, one of the biggest sources of joy in my life has been my family. There’s nothing like being surrounded by the people who know me best — the laughter, the peace, the feeling of home. After a long day, just being around them helps lift the weight off my shoulders. My family is everything to me. Read more>>

In 2019 and then again in 2023, I became a father. Simply the best feeling in the world. Watching my little ones grow up and learn and have fun, has given me a new sense of purpose. They give me a reason to be. They are my reason to work hard, to be persistent, to be successful. I want them to be proud of me. Read more>>

Legos!! Haha I actually find it peaceful and relaxing putting together a Lego set. Then when I’m done, admiring my work. Like I actually did that. When people hear that I have a Lego collection they are shocked. Then when they see what I put together, they are in Awe. I have a few sets I currently have my eye on. Read more>>

Having that one on one time with my parents. Watching my parents age is intriguing, beautiful and humbling all at once. I’m enjoying the wisdom in the simple statements they randomly make and spending more time with them is healing wounds I didn’t know existed. Read more>>

Spending quality time with my husband! Our work schedules are so busy sometimes we only see each one or the other as we’re getting ready for bed! Now that we have some kind of system going we make sure to dedicate time being underneath each other to just talk. Another thing that’s bringing me joy outside of work is working on a wellness venture! Read more>>

Something bringing me joy outside of work is reserving time to read. Reading has been such a fun hobby for me to just wind down and escape into a good book! I also thinks it fosters creativity which helps me in my work as a photographer. Read more>>
