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 […]
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 […]
I learned a lot about how men think from my husband. Women and men see things differently. It’s just the way it is. So, I thought I’d have a little fun and show what we need to know about the opposite sex. Some general differences: MEN […]
“Love comes to you when you least expect it. Don’t look for it.” That’s something I heard many years ago, I think from a movie. It makes sense, and it happened to my husband and me. I wasn’t looking for it at the place we met, but I think I attracted it. There […]
There is a very dangerous scam going on! We’ve got to be on guard and vigilant about it immediately! There’s this thing between our ears on our heads that allows anything from our five senses into it. It’s like a vacuum, sucking in information like the latest and greatest Dyson sweeper. It doesn’t filter or […]
I went to a presentation on the history of organized crime (mafia) in our area. I went there to research for a book and inspire myself. During the first speaker’s PowerPoint presentation (with photos and newspaper clippings), some people in the large audience laughed at certain stories. At the end of it, he told the people […]
I think I have a knack for choosing appropriate gifts. I pay attention to what others like or talk about, and I care about getting something the other person would find useful. Anyhoo, I had this idea when I woke (you know, I ask God for inspiration) about everyday gifts we can give to others […]
