Truth and Love Go Hand-in-Hand
Truth and love go hand-in-hand. “Truth without love is like a sledgehammer and love without truth is like syrup.” This quote is from Father Mike Schmitz of the Bible in a Year podcast (Day 357).

How I Manifested My Husband
A friend asked if I manifested my relationship with my husband, Alex. I believe I did. Previous relationships and "situationships" left me confused and doubting myself. Those experiences helped me be clear about what I wanted to attract. I prayed for clarity about what I truly wanted so I could manifest it, and I asked God for discernment and the courage to walk away if it wasn't aligned.
I Rode the Five Boro Bike Tour
Being from New York, it's funny how I hadn't heard about the TD Five Boro Bike Tour until I moved to Cincinnati. Maybe it wasn't on my radar because I didn’t ride a bike then. Even so, with thousands of riders (this year had over 32,000) and the roads closed to traffic, I'm surprised I didn't know about it sooner.
I Never Thought of Myself an Athlete
I never thought of myself as an athlete. Not when I trained to walk a marathon or walked/ran countless 5Ks, or when I started hiking and did close to 50 hikes with the Atlanta Outdoor Club. Not even when I joined a boot camp and went consistently for 6 months.
Matching Other’s Energy
Depending on the circumstances and my mood, I tend to respond with the same energy I'm being met with. It is easy to be cheerful when someone is being pleasant. It can be just as easy to respond rudely to someone with an attitude. In some instances, matching other's energy may establish a connection or show empathy. At other times it takes away your power and affects your internal peace by bringing you down.
