Even though we’re all different, unique human beings, there are some things we have in common. Because I pay attention to what’s going on around me, I see these things I’m writing about clearly. And it gives me this information to write about. So, what is it that I’ve noticed from others that are similar […]
My husband has been in business since he was eight years old, when he worked alongside his father. He made change for the customers, and most of them, he said, thought he was a hoot! He learned early on, watching his father and engaging in business transactions, that you have to be sharp, know how […]
I think we got off track. How did a Superbowl half time show get so politicized? Because it was hyped up to be that. It was hyped up to make people feel bad for having an opinion. The media’s hype was meant to drive ratings. To sell more ads. To get people to tune in. […]
This idea came to me while putting dishes away. I thought about how there is not a single person alive who does not need help in some form. Think about this. The person who does not like to ask for help believes deep down that they are not worthy of help. However, because they can’t […]
I thought I learned how to pray from my childhood, attending mass in the Catholic Church. We had catechism during the school year, I think once a week. I honestly don’t remember what I learned or if it was a social gathering. Wow, I’m blowing my mind right now, not being able to conjure up […]

Inside each of us, no matter what our age, is the child we once were. Our inner child’s mind was a sponge, absorbing everything around us. We are born with no filter in our brains. Whatever was happening around us seeped in and became our beliefs. As a child, I don’t recall anyone speaking negatively […]
I thought about writing the topic of trust because it’s been on my mind lately. Given recent experiences, I have come to realize the vital importance of trust in a relationship. Having trust in ourselves is the key to happiness. If we trust ourselves, we know what we’re willing to put up with from anyone […]
One can’t help but reminisce about past Christmases this time of year. Being a kid at Christmas was the best! I always believed in the magic of Christmas. It wasn’t all about getting presents (although getting a new toy was pretty sweet); it was a feeling that made it special. I found peace […]
Remember the show Sesame Street? It was more than just a kid’s television show teaching how to count, eat cookies, or spell. It showed us how to live with patience, understanding, and tolerance. Can we see ourselves in the Sesame Street personalities? Big Bird: loud, colorful, big personality, but scared and unsure. Kermit the Frog: […]
