How many of us work at being decent people? I know I do. I’m not writing that with a cocky attitude; just letting you know that I work on being a better person. As a kid, I was a good kid. I followed instructions, was scared of authority and parents, and was impressionable to feeling […]
I’ve been MIA since my last blog post on April 7th. I had some personal health issues to contend with, but everything is okay, and I’m back. For the last week or so, I could not come up with anything to write about. I thought I had lost my creative writing mojo. Then, my husband […]
I couldn’t come up with any other title for this post. Here’s why. I pay attention to my surroundings. I have been on guard since I was a child, waiting for the other shoe to drop. And it has never stopped. Most days, I’m a ball of nerves. I can’t relax, can’t quiet my mind. […]

Are we in complete control of our lives? I’ve often thought of that question. My past has caused the money mindset and worthiness value I’ve had most of my life, but with a lot of work, I now realize I am in control of my life, my happiness. I know what I have to do […]
When you tell your story, you own up to who you are: the good, the bad, and the ugly. You can’t run away from yourself when you tell your story. It’s right there in front of you when you tell your story. If we hold our stories inside, it creates a dam-like effect of memories, […]
I’ve heard this question before to ask yourself, “What is your why?” The answer, I assume, tells us who we are, what is our passion, and what makes us happy? To be honest, I couldn’t answer this question. Seriously. I wrote that question down many times, hoping I’d write simple answers that would guide me […]
I learned a lot about how men think from my husband. Women and men see things differently. It’s just the way it is. So, I thought I’d have a little fun and show what we need to know about the opposite sex. Some general differences: MEN […]
