With the Christmas and New Year season upon us, it has been a time for me to finally take a small break.  Most of the year I have spent hustling to do any type of job I could to generate some revenue until I recently found my new career and…

A loan officer in my state was working a loan with a client in another part of Tennessee.  As they were starting to gather the information needed to help this client, working back and forth with them, they received a message from someone in corporate that asked for permission to…

Thanksgiving is behind us, and it is always a time of year that we reflect on being thankful for all the things that we have. But as I was trying to write my blog post this week, I noticed I wasn’t feeling that grateful. I’m not saying I’m sad or depressed or…

Something that I have battled with my entire life is overthinking everything.  I overthink what to have for breakfast.  I overthink my route to the store. I overthink how long it will take me to do a project at work. I overthink whether I will be successful on my new…
