Wow, I was so excited to write this blog post. It came to me this morning, and it blew my mind! So, I hope it gives you something to think about because it sure did me. I realized today that I was not acknowledging my limitations. It was like I pretended I didn’t […]
I was curious about full moon rituals (practiced in one form or another for thousands of years). I figure if the moon can control the tides of the oceans, there must be something to the connection between us and it. I felt tense on the day of the December 4th full moon, which Native Americans […]
This idea came to me while putting dishes away. I thought about how there is not a single person alive who does not need help in some form. Think about this. The person who does not like to ask for help believes deep down that they are not worthy of help. However, because they can’t […]
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 […]
When we look in the mirror, we can’t help but focus on our appearance, particularly our skin. We see wrinkles and new spots that weren’t there the year before, and we (hopefully) start getting checked at the doctor’s office for irregular moles. (Please do it; it can save your life.)

When I thought about what to write today, the song “My Way” by Frank Sinatra came to mind. I hadn’t heard it for a long time, but I have been thinking lately about what it means to do life my way. Here are the lyrics to “My Way“ … And now, the end is near, […]
Years ago, I got my hair dyed red at a salon. I was blonde and thought changing my hair color would help me change my life. I felt stuck. I wanted to save myself from a stalled-out life, but the things I was doing to make it happen weren’t working fast enough. […]
I think it’s safe to say we all want to minimize feeling pain, and we are good at diverting our attention elsewhere. Moving pictures were a welcome distraction for people who lived through world wars and the Great Depression. Today, we have so many things to take our attention. With all the entertainment options, […]
When something happens to us that we didn’t plan, like losing a loved one or a job, we can go into a tailspin. Changes we didn’t expect can uproot the most steady of us and send us off course. We want to have control over our lives to have peace of mind. A wrench thrown […]
