Map of the Soul

I never took Psychology in high school or college… I deliberately took Human Growth and Development instead. My reasoning? I’d rather scare myself out of having children than self-diagnosing myself with a mental illness. But I’m beginning to think I took the wrong class. Instead, maybe I should have taken Psychology, because of Carl Jung’s […]

3…2…1…Happy New Year!

A new year is almost upon us, which means one thing… its almost time for new year’s resolutions! The start of a new year is one of the best times to challenge yourself to try new things, develop a healthy lifestyle, or work towards being a better person.

Happy Holidays Kansas FFA!

I hope everyone is having a great time with family and friends this holiday. As we are spending time with family, I would like to take this time and reflect about what the holidays are truly about. What do the holidays mean to you? It is a time that you get to spend with family? […]

As I read those words on my phone, fear struck through my heart. I am praying for those affected by the wildfires last night. I know some of you personally; others I have never met before. I understand the grief, hardship, uncertainty, and pain you are experiencing right now at the loss of your homes, property, and livestock, for I, too, am the victim of a wildfire in 2017 that destroyed equipment, buildings, and pastureland.

I didn’t grow up with a traditional Christmas of going to sleep, anxiously awaiting Santa’s gift under the tree, and I didn’t know […]

An Open Letter to Kansas FFA

As the time of Thanksgiving draws near, I have been reflecting on those around me and working express my gratitude towards all of them. On this incredible walk of life, I have several people beside me, being sure I am making progress on the right path. The first people I must include on my list […]
