Ever since I can remember, I've been a perfectionist. It's something I'm constantly working on to improve within myself to let things go and to not sweat the small shit. I think back to when I first taught myself how to program. The research never stopped. I would download thousands upon thousands of scripts other's had written and look at their code. Look at how they organized their … [Read more...] about Perfect Isn’t Perfect

It's actually quite simple to start and gain traction on a blog, but in 2020 its easier said than done.  We are so in our heads that we can't bring ourselves to write things, type things, and share and put ourselves out there and be vulnerable.  I'm not even making complete sentences right now, which should tell you a little about how difficult it really is to start a blog and gain … [Read more...] about The 3 Biggest Secrets To Writing A Blog People Love

Hey... I have a question....... 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️ 💪🏻 .... around 7/8 years ago I started a blog. My intention behind why I started it drew from feeling like I was becoming more distant from my friends and family after graduating college. I was pretty spoiled, running track in college my parents rarely if ever missed a track meet! Because of this, I started sending emails with updates to my day.
