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 […]
While listening to a YouTube video from Wake Me Up (highly recommend for positive, uplifting messages to start your day), I read the creator’s comment asking, “What is one thing you can be grateful for?” It made me pause and think about that. Surely, we could all think of one thing to be grateful for. Right? […]
Those of you out there (like me) who often think about “someday” for your life to be great, I have some news for you (and myself). Today is the day. I know it seems like a big feat to believe that today you are living your great life, but it’s true. For most of my […]
Life is an echo. Whatever we give out comes back to us. If you share love, you’ll bring love to your life. If you talk about hate, you’ll bring hate into your life. It can’t be any simpler than that. Much of our adult mindset has been shaped by programming we received as children. Our […]
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 […]
I had a different idea for a blog post, and then this popped into my head, and I have to roll with it. I get these ideas in the middle of the night, after I wake to pee and can’t fall back to sleep. It’s frustrating, but my mind conjures up interesting ideas, so […]
The idea for this post occurred to me while I was creating this meme below. PAY ATTENTION How many of us go through a day on autopilot, it flies by, and we wonder what happened to today? (My hand is raised.) There are literally an infinite number of things to capture our […]
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, […]
In my opinion, based on years of experience, research, and observation, human beings, though complex with diverse personalities, can be broadly categorized into two types: those who are inclined to harm others and those who are not. Think about any situation you’ve been in and strip away all personality traits, astrological signs of the person […]
There was a guy named Manny Gordon who used to be on our local television news station in the 1980s. His catchphrase was “Enjoy Enjoy!” followed by things like in this video, “Enjoy enjoy the winter wonderland! Or this video, when he said to enjoy enjoy the summer beauty of Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania. He […]
