As of late, life has been harried, and I’ve been feeling a lot of anxiety. Pressure is all around me. It was getting to be too much, like in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) when Princess Leia, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca are trapped in a trash compactor on the […]
Allow yourself the time to meditate daily. This meditation is meant to promote a peaceful mindset. Find a comfortable place to relax. You can sit upright or lie down, whichever is best for you. Close your eyes and take in a slow, deep breath for a count of eight. Fill your belly with air, then […]
While watching the figure skaters at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, I came up with this theory on how we skate through life. If you think about it, just like a pro athlete, we spend years doing the same things over and over and get really good at whatever the program is for […]
I think we got off track. How did a Superbowl half time show get so politicized? Because it was hyped up to be that. It was hyped up to make people feel bad for having an opinion. The media’s hype was meant to drive ratings. To sell more ads. To get people to tune in. […]
I missed writing a blog post last week. Even though I had made it a priority to write a post every week, I didn’t. I felt too jumbled and out of control with everything going on, but I didn’t beat myself up for not doing it. Life happens. I knew I’d get back on track. […]

Wow, I was so excited to write this blog post. It came to me this morning, and it blew my mind! So, I hope it gives you something to think about because it sure did me. I realized today that I was not acknowledging my limitations. It was like I pretended I didn’t […]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin We think nothing of training our pets. We want them to sit when we say “sit.” We want them not to make messes in our houses, so we teach them what is and is not okay. If we have kids, we teach them right from wrong (hopefully), manners, and […]
Ah, the new year. It’s a chance to wipe the previous year off the slate and start a new, beautiful adventure into the unknown. We get to decide the new course we want our lives to take and get busy going after it. We’re all fired up! Let’s go! And then February hits, and we […]
The planets must have been doing something odd in the last week because I’ve been all over the place with my emotions. Oh, wait, Christmas is almost here. That might be the factor. As a kid, I saw Christmas as a magical time and not just for the presents. Sure, leafing through the Sears […]
