Hi guys! It’s been a while since I’ve posted! Last night, I was surfing YouTube, and I came across this video. After I watched it, I knew I had to send it to a ton of people!

But God has put a message in my heart. I wasn't thinking of writing this post until a quote from one of my favorite televi

Mmmm. Tis the season. Even though we are in some terrible times it is still the season.

Eat some food with yo

I just wanted to thank you guys for keeping my website quiet and not posting for a while. This is a positive platform and I didn't want anyone's opinions about the election to bring in any negativity.

I stumbled across this America's Got Talent artist on YouTube. She wrote this super cool song using only hate comments she found on her videos.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

I think we can all agree that it can get tiresome, dull, and even boring to do things the same way all the time. However, it can be a real game changer when we do something simple to change it up. For example, my sister and I have been in online school for most of our lives, and we have almost alw

In my biopsychology class this week, we talked about how our body is kind of an extension of our subconscious. If we pay attention, it can often tell us what we need to do to take care of ourselves.
