In my opinion, based on years of experience, research, and observation, human beings, though complex with diverse personalities, can be broadly categorized into two types: those who are inclined to harm others and those who are not. Think about any situation you’ve been in and strip away all personality traits, astrological signs of the person […]
The inspiration for this post came to me from a guy at the grocery store who handled the store carts. I’ve seen him many times before, but yesterday I had my first interaction with him. I said hello as he was pushing a cart into the cart corral. He mumbled something about birds and looked […]
As soon as I thought of a title, the song from the movie A Night at the Roxbury came to mind. It started as a skit on Saturday Night Live. If you know this, I’m sure you’re smiling now and maybe tipping your head to the song in your head. Here is the song “What […]
I was walking on the beach one early morning. In the distance, a group of people were doing yoga. I felt so calm. I was thinking about my life, where I am, and where I want to be. The day before, while walking on the “boardwalk” (now paved), I noticed that the […]
I’m given so many ideas for these blog posts by God/ the universe. I am blessed. The other day, I did something out of character because I couldn’t process my feelings. I let my emotions lead the way, and guess what? It didn’t work out too well. Emotions can lead us astray, and we can […]
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 […]
We’ve all interacted with that person who says whatever they’re thinking (without giving it a second thought). This is the person who blurts out whatever is on their mind. Some of it’s good. Some of it’s funny. But some of it can be hurtful and harmful. During my lifetime, I have encountered people who […]
One can’t help but reminisce about past Christmases this time of year. Being a kid at Christmas was the best! I always believed in the magic of Christmas. It wasn’t all about getting presents (although getting a new toy was pretty sweet); it was a feeling that made it special. I found peace […]
Now, more than ever, I think about Thanksgiving and what it means. Do you think it happens before Christmas for a reason? Perhaps that was done to encourage us to be thankful for what we have before we consider what we want. Thanksgiving has always been a time to gather with family, some of whom […]
The Kramer character on Seinfeld is hysterical when he blurts out whatever is on his mind. We laugh at his honesty because it doesn’t seem to come from a place of judgment, but rather from a place of love. Seriously, the next time you see Cosmo Kramer do his schtick on Seinfeld, see how he […]
