My husband has been in business since he was eight years old, when he worked alongside his father. He made change for the customers, and most of them, he said, thought he was a hoot! He learned early on, watching his father and engaging in business transactions, that you have to be sharp, know how […]
I got the idea for this blog post from an Amazon review. I was looking for Creatine Monohydrate Powder, and one reviewer wrote this: “You may still not be getting everything you need to stay healthy and energized enough to keep up with the modern demands of life.” Oh, that made me think, so here […]
Simple words, right? I know. I’ve read to “let go” in self-help books. Heard it in YouTube videos: “Let go of the [fill in the blank].” So, I know what the words mean. It’s just implementing them into practice that is a bit tricky. You see, we’re programmed to survive. Our DNA, wiring, whatever you […]
I haven’t written a blog post in a while. I started writing one, but didn’t have the mojo to finish. I’ve been in a funk, rut, whatever you want to call the place in life where you feel like you can’t handle one more thing or you will snap. That’s where I’ve been. Don’t get […]
I wish I could sometimes rattle off a profound quote from someone famous, but I can’t think of any right now. I only hear my thoughts that want to get out. As we get older, having lived a good portion of our lives, we become wiser from all the information crammed into our minds. That’s […]
I have been living, but having recurring brief encounters with the past. I get reminded of something painful that happened in the past, and I’d feel the pain again. I’d say that is not thriving at all. Like peeling an onion, the way to a healthy mind is to go through the layers. Healing is […]
Insecurities hold us back and keep our lives on pause when we ought to be moving forward. We all feel insecurities. I don’t care who you are; if you come across as super confident or the quiet person in the room, each of us has hangups and struggles. Some talk about them, some don’t. We […]
There’s been a running story woven throughout sitcoms, movies, and even within families about how women are bitchy. Women’s fights are called catfights for a reason. Because someone thought women scream like cats? I don’t know. I’m guessing. The point I’m making is that women have been labeled as “emotional” since when- forever? Today, in […]
Light shows what’s in front of us. Whether we’re driving at night, putting a booklight on a book, or wanting to see our way along a darkened path, light illuminates so we can see better. What have you been shining the light on in your life? There’s this phenomenon: what we focus on, we […]
I’ve been somewhat of a hypocrite. I write these blog posts showing how to change your life for the better – to be happy, but I’ve been slipping and sliding all over the place as I’m doing it. That’s life, though, we have ups and downs, happy times and sad times. That’s living. Have I […]
