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 […]

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. […]
