Self Awareness

Hello Everyone,

I have not been blogging as much as I would like to lately but when I get information that I can't help but share, I know that it is time for a new post. Since I have been traveling and taking classes I figured it was time to catch up on all that I have learned along the way.


A few weeks ago my sister and I took a much needed mini vacation to Miami. I must say it was a much needed break from life's daily course but it was also a much needed sister time for us. I think that me being so far away from everyone I tend to miss out on all the cool day to day things but spending those few days together was great. We laughed, joked, relaxed, and ate the days away. It could not have been any better. ;-)


I came to UPENN for a course on Resiliency and I learned how to train different skills to Soldiers that will help them in their everyday lives and I left with some much needed self awareness. I learned some of my own short comings that have kept me from living life to it's fullest and here I was thinking I had mastered it all lol. I also found out that there is so much more to us than the labels we put on ourselves and the ones others may put on us. I encourage you to pick up a book by Martin E. Seligman "Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life".
