Ever since I could remember, I’ve had a purpose to my life, but I didn’t honor it. It’s one thing to have a purpose and think and say what you want from your life, but it’s a whole other ballgame when we honor it. When we honor the purpose of our lives, we have to […]
The article, 22 Facts About the Brain from the Dent Neurologic Institute states, “The average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 95% are exactly the same repetitive thoughts as the day before and about 80% are negative.” Wow, that’s a lot of thoughts in a day. I could see it, […]
Recently, I’ve had another ephiphany. I’ve been getting them a lot lately. Must be tuned into a good frequency. Walking in the woods helps. It was something that was brewing for a long time, but I wasn’t ready for the change until now. I felt like my life had stalled, and then I received what […]
I’ve dabbled in video games like Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot, and the one that makes me laugh so hard it hurts, Grand Theft Auto, where I can’t control the car and keep hitting things and people. I’m not that coordinated with the controller. I’m more of a reader than a gamer. It gave me an […]

Last year, I saw this journal at CVS. I never really had a journal like this and thought it would be helpful to keep track of life with questions like, “Good things about today?” or “How can I make tomorrow better?” I used it for a while, but couldn’t find the time to keep up […]
I’m sure most of us strive for perfection, especially today with so much information at our fingertips, which, whether we know it or not, is affecting our sense of self. Let’s say we come across a former schoolmate on social media who is sharing their beautiful home. If we feel a sense of envy or […]
I got the idea for this blog when I heard The Doors’ song Five to One. In it, Jim Morrison sings, “No one here gets out alive.” He’s right. We will all meet our fate one way or another. Sadly, many of us don’t consider the consequences of being mean or harmful to others. Some […]
Everyone makes mistakes. Some regret them to the degree that they allow them to haunt their present moments. I know because I did that. When we allow past mistakes to hold us back, keep us stuck, and make us feel not good enough, we are no longer living in the present. Mistakes are a part […]
