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. Whatever was happening around us seeped in and became our beliefs. As a child, I don’t recall anyone speaking negatively […]
I’m a chocolate girl. I love dark chocolate with pretzels or nuts. I make my own chocolate bark with those things, and it is yummy! I try not to eat it every day, but according to the latest health studies, dark chocolate is good for us. So, what could be better than that? The […]
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 […]
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 […]
