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 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 […]
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 […]
With the new year upon us, there’s often a feeling to start fresh and create a new chapter in our lives. One way to start with a clean slate is to clean the slate. When we purge the old, it makes room for the new. Sure, I’m referring to the things around us that block […]
Last December, I did a post about choosing a word for the year. My word for 2024 is “manifest.” For 2025, I’ve chosen the word “execute.” EXECUTE verb To carry out or put into effect (a plan, order, or course of action). Choosing a word for the year is like your North Star. My last […]
It’s been challenging to come up with positive ideas to write about since dealing with a mighty shoulder issue. I don’t like to dwell on such things, but it’s my reality now. And we all know that what we don’t want to address will mail itself to our consciousness, and then we have no choice […]
My last blog was about life beats. I wrote about how life has ups and downs, like the beating of our hearts. There’s even a neat video of a heartbeat. Check it out here. The other day, I had a bad day. We all have them. That’s when our reality gets a little too heavy, […]
The other day, I wanted to go for a walk. The outside air was chilly, so I thought I’d wait until the afternoon when the sun warmed up the air a bit. It was cozy in the house, and my hamstring was bothering me, so I justified that I’d a lot of […]
