“If you want to do something bad enough, you will find a way, if not, you’ll find an excuse.” – Jim Rohn
This is my all-time favorite quote because it kicks my butt and challenges me to question my priorities and determine if they are really mine, someone else’s, or what I think I should want to do.

El Paso, Texas is ones of those cities that I instantly fell in love with.
The landscape is so different from what I see in the Midwest and yet it had a few similarities.
I live in a Tri-State area where it is common to cross state borders daily and El Paso’s location is a Tri-city with access to both New Mexico and Juarez, Mexico.
It almost feels like it’s own distinct place because the landscape is so different from the flatter parts of the Texas.
