What We All Want

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 […]

Making Peace With the Past

I haven’t written a blog post in a while. I started writing one, but didn’t have the mojo to finish.  I’ve been in a funk, rut, whatever you want to call the place in life where you feel like you can’t handle one more thing or you will snap. That’s where I’ve been. Don’t get […]

The Path to Peace

  As of late, life has been harried, and I’ve been feeling a lot of anxiety. Pressure is all around me. It was getting to be too much, like in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) when Princess Leia, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca are trapped in a trash compactor on the […]

Peace of Mind

I had to step away from social media (being online) for a few days. I needed a break to re-focus, figure out what I’m going to do, and gain a little perspective. We all need that for peace of mind. This morning, I thought about when I was a little girl, around nine or ten, […]

As we live, we accumulate stuff.  That’s just life. If we don’t get rid of anything, it just builds up. These last few months, I’ve come to realize just how much stuff I have. It was getting overwhelming in the small house my husband and I share. I’d love to have enormous closets and a […]

The Volcano Spews New Life

  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 […]

Tsk Tsk

I’m giving myself the tsk tsk, you know, like when someone judgy looks at you, shaking their head to show you that you did something wrong. Yep, I’m giving myself that. Why? What did I do that’s so wrong? I’m sharing this because it might help someone else. I’ve carried this burden long enough, and […]
