I saw this reel on YouTube from Shelly @fabulous50s, a woman around my age who asked women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond to share what makes them special and unique, to help others gain from their skills, ideas, and wisdom on social media. She said that younger people in their 20s and 30s are […]
I’m a chocolate girl. I love dark chocolate with pretzels or nuts. I make my own chocolate bark with those things, and it is yummy! I try not to eat it every day, but according to the latest health studies, dark chocolate is good for us. So, what could be better than that? The […]
Forgiving is tough, I know. But when we forgive, something good happens to us. We get to move past the pain. Forgiving someone is not letting them get away with whatever they did to hurt us; it is us releasing the moment to heal and move on, and not allowing it to hurt us […]
I was walking on the beach one early morning. In the distance, a group of people were doing yoga. I felt so calm. I was thinking about my life, where I am, and where I want to be. The day before, while walking on the “boardwalk” (now paved), I noticed that the […]
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 […]
The Kramer character on Seinfeld is hysterical when he blurts out whatever is on his mind. We laugh at his honesty because it doesn’t seem to come from a place of judgment, but rather from a place of love. Seriously, the next time you see Cosmo Kramer do his schtick on Seinfeld, see how he […]
By loving and respecting ourselves, we teach people how to treat us. It makes perfect sense, right? I was a “sucka” (sucker) for mistreatment and disrespect. Somehow, I had the foolish notion that other people’s feelings were more important than mine. That’s precisely what happens when we’re a sucka for inappropriate treatment. We have to […]
I could have written an easy blog about the mechanics of speaking better, like how “He doesn’t know how to ride a bike” sounds better than “He don’t know how to ride a bike” because it disagrees with the subject. Nope, I decided to go deep. When we speak to one another, there’s a transfer […]
How many of us have experienced “ghosting” via text or other means? I have, and I’m not too fond of it. I think it’s a childlike, cowardly way of dealing with human interactions. As adults, we’re supposed to talk about our feelings and issues, but some either don’t care or can’t express what they want, […]
