The happiest people know the secret to life. Have I met one of these folks? No, not yet, but my husband comes close. Sure, he has days like most of us do when things go sour, and we need to vent, but he always bounces back to smiling and appreciating the moment he’s in. From […]
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 […]
My polka dot plant was not growing, so I put it into a pot with a dragon tree (Dracaena marginata) along with another plant cutting. That isn’t something I typically do with my plants. I only did it once before with a snake plant and philodendron, and they are cohabiting quite nicely in the same […]
I was thinking about how I spend a lot of time alone. Ever since I can remember, I have never minded being alone. Not all the time, of course, but I enjoy the silence. Sometimes, when I’m working, I listen to smooth jazz or my instrumental playlist; however, I also work in silence, as I’m […]
Every interaction we have with each other is subjective to an individual’s perspective. We interact through our lenses, prejudices, and insecurities, and what may come off as a person meaning well can, in fact, be taken as a hurtful comment. Other times, there is no justification. What I’ve been pondering lately is how a person […]
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’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 […]
We’re all given the same opportunities to learn, grow, evolve, and be educated (I’m not referring to college. You can learn at a library for free.) What it comes down to is the desire to be better than we were yesterday. Where Do We Get Our Information? It seems much easier to acquire knowledge from […]
Underwater volcanoes form islands. Molten lava erupts over time, creating a landmass where an ocean once existed. It’s incredible how our Earth knows how to create new life. We know how to, too, and I’m not referring to creating a baby. I’m referring to changing our lives to a new existence where we’re happy […]
