I just got off the phone with my grandfather. He's a stern and methodical man, he always has been. I've admired him for his need for order, love of lists, habit of writing things down and undying curiosity. I share these characteristics too and I truly believe that these things have rubbed off on me,… Continue reading My grandfather’s advice

Have you ever wondered about who you are? What are those little things that make you into you? What are your likes, dislikes and characteristics? Who are you? The thought just occurred to me a couple moments ago. I was laying in bed, watching a video and it happened, I asked myself: Who am I?… Continue reading Clay
The notion of being ‘good enough’

It was from a woman who needed help cleaning her stove. We talked while I helped her out and she asked me where I… Continue reading A conversation on ‘Be My Eyes’
Conversations
I've had a few conversations lately that have truly liberated me. They left me feeling great right after, but they were liberating because of the fact that they made me think. They made me think about myself and my life. I'm someone who's always happy to self-reflect, though there are times when there's a literal… Continue reading Conversations

I've never been the most ambitious person. I've never aimed to be the 'best' or the 'biggest achiever'. For some reason though, it's somehow always happened for me. Though I never actively strive to be the best, I end up being in the top four or five when it comes to most activities that matter.… Continue reading Goals?
