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 […]
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 […]
Recently, I’ve had another ephiphany. I’ve been getting them a lot lately. Must be tuned into a good frequency. Walking in the woods helps. It was something that was brewing for a long time, but I wasn’t ready for the change until now. I felt like my life had stalled, and then I received what […]
My phone updated itself, and I have no idea what was updated. I used to receive a warning to plug the phone in to power or take some action, and I would be informed about the updates. However, it now does this automatically. I saw the ‘Update Tonight’ notification on my phone and thought […]
As we live our lives, we accumulate more and more stuff. Nostalgia, emotions, and wistful desires prompt us to hold on to things that once brought us happiness or fulfilled us in some way, such as a deflated balloon from Rush’s Hold Your Fire tour. Here’s the thing, though, if we keep saving stuff, eventually […]
If you’re like me, striving to have more, do more, be more, then this post is for you (and me!). Until I believed I deserved more, I was stuck. We can all feel this way from time to time when things don’t seem to be working out as we want. What I’ve learned is that […]
I’ve dabbled in video games like Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot, and the one that makes me laugh so hard it hurts, Grand Theft Auto, where I can’t control the car and keep hitting things and people. I’m not that coordinated with the controller. I’m more of a reader than a gamer. It gave me an […]
I have a meditation cushion. I used it the other day, and this idea came to me: That the in between is where we’re seen. Meaning that in a quiet mindset, we can connect with ourselves. Mediation can calm the mind. I went to a few classes and learned the technique, […]
My polka dot plant was not growing, so I put it into a pot with a dragon tree (Dracaena marginata) along with another plant cutting. That isn’t something I typically do with my plants. I only did it once before with a snake plant and philodendron, and they are cohabiting quite nicely in the same […]
