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? […]
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 […]
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 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, […]

Or this video, when he said to enjoy enjoy the summer beauty of Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania. He […]
While thinking about what to write, I realized that what I write is helping me. Every valuable tidbit that I share to help improve our self-worth and self-esteem is meant to be shared. I want us all to be happy people. Regardless of our current state in life, we can all think better thoughts. Everything […]
The inspiration for this post came to me from a guy at the grocery store who handled the store carts. I’ve seen him many times before, but yesterday I had my first interaction with him. I said hello as he was pushing a cart into the cart corral. He mumbled something about birds and looked […]
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 […]
Ever since I could remember, I’ve had a purpose to my life, but I didn’t honor it. It’s one thing to have a purpose and think and say what you want from your life, but it’s a whole other ballgame when we honor it. When we honor the purpose of our lives, we have to […]
