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 […]
The idea for this post came to me as I was drifting off to sleep. I am almost finished reading Goals! How to Get Everything You Want – Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible, by Brian Tracy. I have a few of his audiobooks and used to listen to them when I commuted to and […]
Most of us know the title is a line from The Lord’s Prayer. The line before that is “And forgive us our trespasses.” It got me thinking about what exactly that means. Sure, I say my prayers, one of which is The Lord’s Prayer, but given recent events, I let the line, “As we […]
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 […]

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 […]
Whatever we believe, we are. Every thought we have about ourselves was learned at some point in our lives. We weren’t born with our beliefs. Our surroundings, interactions, and experiences helped us develop our internal beliefs. And here’s the thing about beliefs – they are not necessarily the truth. As little ones, we learned from […]
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 […]
