You never know how your life could change from a conversation. Be kind. Talk to people. I’ve had life changing opportunities by starting a conversation and building relationships.

Paolini has my favorite mindset on the WTA right now.

Her ability to enjoy the battle is a weapon. It is already daunting to face a determined, consistent, and crafty player, but seeing your opponent smile after a tense point is terryfying. Her smile allows her to relax.

Rock solid from Paolini. I hope both players continue this momentum and have a great French Open.

Journaling creates clarity.

Write in a journal, especially after a tough day. Whether following a match, exam, or day at work, journaling helps clear my mind. I write until my thoughts begin to slow down.

My motivation to post is because my cousin suddenly passed away last fall. She was wise, caring, and generous. Her gift was encouragement.

If I can encourage just one person, then this effort will be worth it.

I’ve been blessed to accomplish things I dreamed about: play D1 tennis, win a ring, play pro tennis, attend law school, and practice law. I will post tips that I’ve learned along my journey to hopefully help someone on their journey!
