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 […]
I’m given so many ideas for these blog posts by God/ the universe. I am blessed. The other day, I did something out of character because I couldn’t process my feelings. I let my emotions lead the way, and guess what? It didn’t work out too well. Emotions can lead us astray, and we can […]
I have a meditation cushion. I used it the other day, and this idea came to me: That the in between is where we’re seen. Meaning that in a quiet mindset, we can connect with ourselves. Mediation can calm the mind. I went to a few classes and learned the technique, […]
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 […]
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.

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’ve all interacted with that person who says whatever they’re thinking (without giving it a second thought). This is the person who blurts out whatever is on their mind. Some of it’s good. Some of it’s funny. But some of it can be hurtful and harmful. During my lifetime, I have encountered people who […]
With the new year upon us, there’s often a feeling to start fresh and create a new chapter in our lives. One way to start with a clean slate is to clean the slate. When we purge the old, it makes room for the new. Sure, I’m referring to the things around us that block […]
It’s been challenging to come up with positive ideas to write about since dealing with a mighty shoulder issue. I don’t like to dwell on such things, but it’s my reality now. And we all know that what we don’t want to address will mail itself to our consciousness, and then we have no choice […]
