“The mind is like water. When it’s turbulent, it’s difficult to see. When it’s calm, everything becomes clear. ” — Mahes Prasad The Struggle to Trust Again Coming out of an abusive relationship—whether emotional, mental, or physical—leaves deep wounds that don’t simply heal with time. One of the most profound and lasting effects is the complete erosion of […]
The “Opportunity” of Solo Parenting Well, folks, let me tell ya, nothing screams “personal growth opportunity,” like a recent divorce and the joyous task of solo parenting two teenagers. If you’re imagining quiet family dinners and peaceful Sunday mornings, you’re either delusional or heavily medicated. The good news? I’m still standing, and so are the […]
About 4-5 years ago, KMM went to the Dover Skating Center for a week of summer camp. And ever since then, she has been on the Delaware Skating Academy’s artistic roller skating team. Since the day she became a member of the team, she has dreamed of competing in a roller skating competition. That dream […]
Over twenty five years ago I started the Wesley College chapter of my life as a college freshman. It’s hard to imagine that I have spent nearly half of my lifetime all at one place; that place being Wesley College.

Earlier this week I found myself in a very silly text conversation with my mom and sister. I started the conversation off with a random text to both of them saying, “soooo Kevin and I don’t know how to do Thanksgiving. We’ve never not traveled…” My sister responded, “as in you don’t know how to […]
Are you a working mom? Are you a homeschool teacher & mom? Are you struggling to balance your work, your kids’ work, take care of yourself, your partner, and your house, all at the same time? I sure am trying to do it all, but I am failing miserably at all of the above. I […]
When I sit down with a student, I find myself asking questions that I think will help us both ‘right the ship so to speak’. Some questions I ask are “How do you think you got here”?; “What specifically happened or contributed to your current situation”?; “What are some steps you can take to BETTER […]
I am not a big fan of doctors. I don’t have anything against them, I just usually find going to them to be anxiety producing. I especially don’t like having procedures done when they have to put me to sleep. Don’t get me wrong, I would much rather get put to sleep for the procedure […]
