I’ve been MIA since my last blog post on April 7th. I had some health issues to contend with, but everything is okay, and I’m back. For the last week or so, I could not come up with anything to write about. I thought I had lost my creative writing mojo. Then, my husband played […]
I couldn’t think of a better title for this post. Here’s why: I pay attention to my surroundings. I have been on guard since I was a child, waiting for the other shoe to drop. And it has never stopped. Most days, I’m a ball of nerves. I can’t relax, and I can’t quiet my […]
You can have boundaries and not even know it. Boundaries protect us. Our minds let us know when our boundaries are crossed, just like an alarm system on a house that lets us know if someone is trying to get inside. Since we’re the owners of our minds, we can sense an impending boundary crosser […]
Our experiences shape our behavior. Because of that, we all live life through the lens of what those experiences taught us. Two people could grow up in the same house but have very different experiences. As a kid, I had things stolen from me. I didn’t have much, so to lose something dear to me […]
Are we in complete control of our lives? I’ve often wondered about that question. For most of my life, my mindset and worthiness value led me to believe I was not at the helm. But with a lot of work, I now realize I am in control of my life and my happiness. I know […]

While learning about how to find our purpose, the question, “What is your why?” kept coming up. Our answer to that tells us who we are, what our passion is, and what makes us happy. I used to be all over the place with my answers because I didn’t understand my why. Seriously. I wrote […]
While doing some decluttering on my computer, I came across a meme I saved about things we can control. One of them was how seriously you take life. Of course, it got me thinking about how, as of late, I’ve been taking life way too seriously and feeling the effects of it. And those effects […]
This morning, I got the idea for this post when I was transplanting houseplants. I have several happy houseplants growing inside our home. I do my best to care for them, and they seem to be growing well. So, what did I learn from the plants? Pruning changes energy. I had a spider plant with […]
In this moment(right now), we are in control of our time and our schedule. Think about it for a second. In this present moment, you and I are in control of what we do and how we feel. If we allow memories from the past to invade our minds, then we are held prisoner and […]
