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 […]
By loving and respecting ourselves, we teach people how to treat us. It makes perfect sense, right? I was a “sucka” (sucker) for mistreatment and disrespect. Somehow, I had the foolish notion that other people’s feelings were more important than mine. That’s precisely what happens when we’re a sucka for inappropriate treatment. We have to […]
How many of us have experienced “ghosting” via text or other means? I have, and I’m not too fond of it. I think it’s a childlike, cowardly way of dealing with human interactions. As adults, we’re supposed to talk about our feelings and issues, but some either don’t care or can’t express what they want, […]
So many things affect how we see ourselves. Since birth, we have been bombarded with messages that enter our subconscious mind and form how we think, act, and what we 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 […]
Today, Mother’s Day, got me thinking about what to write. I know I’m grateful for being a mother and don’t take it for granted like I used to. Life and goals had me bumping around an imaginary pinball machine for years. I made mistakes as a mother. My time was too fragmented to focus one […]
