I wish I could sometimes rattle off a profound quote from someone famous, but I can’t think of any right now. I only hear my thoughts that want to get out. As we get older, having lived a good portion of our lives, we become wiser from all the information crammed into our minds. That’s […]
Insecurities hold us back and keep our lives on pause when we ought to be moving forward. We all feel insecurities. I don’t care who you are; if you come across as super confident or the quiet person in the room, each of us has hangups and struggles. Some talk about them, some don’t. We […]
There’s been a running story woven throughout sitcoms, movies, and even within families about how women are bitchy. Women’s fights are called catfights for a reason. Because someone thought women scream like cats? I don’t know. I’m guessing. The point I’m making is that women have been labeled as “emotional” since when- forever? Today, in […]
Light shows what’s in front of us. Whether we’re driving at night, putting a booklight on a book, or wanting to see our way along a darkened path, light illuminates so we can see better. What have you been shining the light on in your life? There’s this phenomenon: what we focus on, we […]
I’ve been somewhat of a hypocrite. I write these blog posts showing how to change your life for the better – to be happy, but I’ve been slipping and sliding all over the place as I’m doing it. That’s life, though, we have ups and downs, happy times and sad times. That’s living. Have I […]
I’ve been polishing my nails since I was a teenager. Back then, I guess I just wore whatever nail polish was available to me. As an adult in my twenties and thirties, I leaned toward bright pink colors. It seemed to go well with my black Swatch watch. Time marched on as it always does, […]
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 […]
While watching the figure skaters at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, I came up with this theory on how we skate through life. If you think about it, just like a pro athlete, we spend years doing the same things over and over and get really good at whatever the program is for […]
I missed writing a blog post last week. Even though I had made it a priority to write a post every week, I didn’t. I felt too jumbled and out of control with everything going on, but I didn’t beat myself up for not doing it. Life happens. I knew I’d get back on track. […]
I know, a heavy title. But for good reason. We grew up. We have responsibilities now. It doesn’t matter who we were as kids. We’ve grown and evolved into adults. Yeah, adults who feel a lot of stress every day. Each time we get peeved about not having any time for fun or to […]
