I saw this reel on YouTube from Shelly @fabulous50s, a woman around my age who asked women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond to share what makes them special and unique, to help others gain from their skills, ideas, and wisdom on social media. She said that younger people in their 20s and 30s are […]
I thought I learned how to pray from my childhood, attending mass in the Catholic Church. We had catechism during the school year, I think once a week. I honestly don’t remember what I learned or if it was a social gathering. Wow, I’m blowing my mind right now, not being able to conjure up […]
While listening to a YouTube video from Wake Me Up (highly recommend for positive, uplifting messages to start your day), I read the creator’s comment asking, “What is one thing you can be grateful for?” It made me pause and think about that. Surely, we could all think of one thing to be grateful for. Right? […]
Those of you out there (like me) who often think about “someday” for your life to be great, I have some news for you (and myself). Today is the day. I know it seems like a big feat to believe that today you are living your great life, but it’s true. For most of my […]
Inside each of us, no matter what our age, is the child we once were. Our inner child’s mind was a sponge, absorbing everything around us. We are born with no filter in our brains.

Forgiving is tough, I know. But when we forgive, something good happens to us. We get to move past the pain. Forgiving someone is not letting them get away with whatever they did to hurt us; it is us releasing the moment to heal and move on, and not allowing it to hurt us […]
I had a different idea for a blog post, and then this popped into my head, and I have to roll with it. I get these ideas in the middle of the night, after I wake to pee and can’t fall back to sleep. It’s frustrating, but my mind conjures up interesting ideas, so […]
I had to step away from social media (being online) for a few days. I needed a break to re-focus, figure out what I’m going to do, and gain a little perspective. We all need that for peace of mind. This morning, I thought about when I was a little girl, around nine or ten, […]
I walked into my office, and my eyes glanced at the top shelf of the desk hutch, which brought back a memory I’d rather not think about. I stopped myself from thinking that, as I wrote in my last blog post, and recognized its source. Then I thought something I didn’t before – Get […]
