“This here is our own little piece of heaven.”

He looked out over the crowded park chess tables like a king proudly showing off his kingdom. He had a crown full of white hair and sat on the weathered green park bench like it was his own personal throne. He looked old enough to be my grandfather and had a face just as kind. At the time, I hadn’t known him for long but from what I could tell he had a life full of experiences behind him. I could only imagine all the knowledge he had to share.

Midweek Meditation: Is Changing the World Even Possible?

Published on by Felecia Shanice2 Comments

I was sitting in class yesterday with what felt like the weight of the world on my shoulders. We were in the middle of a discussion about the U.S. prison system and the infinite ways it could be changed for the better. Somewhere in the middle of it all I couldn’t help but think, “Is it even worth trying to fix this mess?“ Continue reading “Midweek Meditation: Is Changing the World Even Possible?” →

Published on by Felecia ShaniceLeave a comment

Moving is never easy, especially in New York City. The amount of chaos here is on a whole different level. Even finding an apartment takes skills that I’m convinced only real New Yorkers even know exist (If you’ve ever tried to find housing here you already know exactly what I’m talking about!) These are just a few things that I learned from my battle to find my housing in this crazy city. Continue reading “5 Things I Learned From My NYC Move” →

Eyes Wide Shut: How to Stop Missing Out On What Really Matters

Published on by Felecia Shanice1 Comment

Most of my days look the same.

Wake up. Check phone. Go to class. Go home. Absorb Netflix from my couch. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

We’re all guilty of it: being wrapped up in our daily routine and moving through each day the same as the last. Most of the time we get away with it. That is, we get away with it until we crash into something that makes us realize that we’ve been running on autopilot without a clue about what’s going on around us.
