Spot-lightenment
His eyes are piercing, a deep ocean of emotions. Emotions that are, at present, flowing openly in a torrent of powerful vocalization, all seemingly aimed straight at me. We make eye contact, if only for a moment. I feel his pain. I am empowered by his depth and knowledge. His strength gives me strength. He looks away, but my mind reels from that one moment. One solitary moment, a brief instant that suddenly made everything completely worthwhile.

Writer's Block or Confidence Block?
Writer’s Block. If you’ve ever had to write anything from a school assignment to something more creative, you’ve probably experienced it. But does Writer’s Block exist? I know I have felt it before, but maybe it’s not that we don’t have anything to write, but we have so much to write that we don’t know how to express it all.

Everyone Deserves Something Beautiful
Our minds have a funny way of convincing us that we are less than. Mine is particularly good at whispering “You aren’t good enough,” on a daily basis. My journey to a successful career has been blocked by negative thoughts, actions, and feelings. I always wanted to be something great, something more than I was, something better. Alas, that little voice inside my head has never let up, telling me “no way.” I find it interesting, though, that I’ve always tried to pull myself away from that voice. I’ve taken many roads on my career path, all of which have ultimately failed. I have fallen several times only to stand up, brush myself off and open yet another door, always wondering “Is this the one?” It never was.

With three days left until pay day and no emergency savings, I had $3.89 to my name.
