Our drive out of Denver on the 24th started at 5 am and it was one I'll never forget. We got up to being at an elevation of 12,000 ft. in the Rocky Mountains passing through Vail and other beautiful famous ski cities!

My second time visiting Denver and I find it even more beautiful every time. Colorado in general is breathtaking 🏔 The red rocks amphitheater is always worth the visit. My sister and I were also very happy that we got to visit their Christkindl Market as we didn't get to visit the one in Chicago … Continue reading Day 2 – Denver, CO (December 23rd) →

Almost everything I do that makes me feel like I am making a difference or I’ve accomplished something requires me stepping outside of my comfort zone. Volunteering alone, getting blood drawn for a research study, being a part of committees, taking on leadership roles… the list goes on and on. You’d think I do all … Continue reading Comfort Zone →

Nothing that I'm experiencing or I am a part of makes sense to me. Do I even belong here? I suffer from extreme imposter syndrome. I always question my presence everywhere I am. It is the worst thing in the world. It triggers my anxiety and makes me feel like complete poop. The way that … Continue reading Imposter Syndrome →

I’m also guilty of saying the #FirstWorldProblems thing. I am very … Continue reading Minimizing Your Pain →
