If you’re like me, striving to have more, do more, be more, then this post is for you (and me!). Until I believed I deserved more, I was stuck. We can all feel this way from time to time when things don’t seem to be working out as we want. What I’ve learned is that […]
I’ve dabbled in video games like Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot, and the one that makes me laugh so hard it hurts, Grand Theft Auto, where I can’t control the car and keep hitting things and people. I’m not that coordinated with the controller. I’m more of a reader than a gamer. It gave me an […]
I have a meditation cushion. I used it the other day, and this idea came to me: That the in between is where we’re seen. Meaning that in a quiet mindset, we can connect with ourselves. Mediation can calm the mind. I went to a few classes and learned the technique, […]
My polka dot plant was not growing, so I put it into a pot with a dragon tree (Dracaena marginata) along with another plant cutting. That isn’t something I typically do with my plants. I only did it once before with a snake plant and philodendron, and they are cohabiting quite nicely in the same […]
I was thinking about how I spend a lot of time alone. Ever since I can remember, I have never minded being alone. Not all the time, of course, but I enjoy the silence. Sometimes, when I’m working, I listen to smooth jazz or my instrumental playlist; however, I also work in silence, as I’m […]
Every interaction we have with each other is subjective to an individual’s perspective. We interact through our lenses, prejudices, and insecurities, and what may come off as a person meaning well can, in fact, be taken as a hurtful comment. Other times, there is no justification. What I’ve been pondering lately is how a person […]
Most of us know the title is a line from The Lord’s Prayer. The line before that is “And forgive us our trespasses.” It got me thinking about what exactly that means. Sure, I say my prayers, one of which is The Lord’s Prayer, but given recent events, I let the line, “As we […]
I thought about writing the topic of trust because it’s been on my mind lately. Given recent experiences, I have come to realize the vital importance of trust in a relationship. Having trust in ourselves is the key to happiness. If we trust ourselves, we know what we’re willing to put up with from anyone […]
The other day, I tripped in my office/dressing room on the sling for my arm I’ve been wearing since my shoulder surgery. I took the sling off to change my clothes and put it on the floor. I went to unplug my phone from charging, turned around, took a few steps, not looking at […]
Last year, I saw this journal at CVS. I never really had a journal like this and thought it would be helpful to keep track of life with questions like, “Good things about today?” or “How can I make tomorrow better?” I used it for a while, but couldn’t find the time to keep up […]
