I thought I’d mix it up today and do something different. We all deserve a miracle every day. Here are ten miraculous ideas that can change your life. = One = Think better thoughts. Become mindful of what you think and try to shift from thinking something negative to positive. It might be challenging at […]
So, if we’ve been working on ourselves and questioning how we feel, I’m sure anger has reared its head. Letting ourselves feel the pain sucks, but we have to do it to get through to the other side (where we feel good.) Just like exercise DVDs, after the hard stuff, comes the cool-down time. I […]
So many things affect how we see ourselves. We have been bombarded since birth with messages that go into our subconscious mind and form how we think, act, and believe about ourselves. For many years, I felt like I was living in a pinball machine, bouncing from one thing to the next, never getting anywhere […]
This stuff I’m writing about has been brewing within me for a long time. I felt like I was going to burst if I didn’t get this stuff out of me! And I was terrified to do so at first. Terrified! I came up with so many excuses in my mind, and I shied away […]

I knew the definition of denial (refusal to admit the truth or reality of something). When I looked it up, there was another definition for denial (refusal to satisfy a request or desire.) So, denial is also a refusal to satisfy a request or desire. Huh, that made me think about how much I have […]
I have always been a person who prays. I don’t know how else to write it. I was raised Catholic and learned prayers. In stressful moments, praying helped me calm down and know that things would change for the better. I believe praying or whatever meditative ritual you believe in is essential for a healthy […]
