As we get older, we, hopefully, get wiser. That may mean seeing people for who they truly are. Not allowing ourselves to be bamboozled or conned by niceties or phony words. It’s almost like we’ve gotten out a fluffy duster and begun cleaning up all the crap that we don’t want or need in our […]
My husband has been in business since he was eight years old, when he worked alongside his father. He made change for the customers, and most of them, he said, thought he was a hoot! He learned early on, watching his father and engaging in business transactions, that you have to be sharp, know how […]
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 […]
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 […]

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.) The sun can cause significant […]
The other day, I wanted to go for a walk. The outside air was chilly, so I thought I’d wait until the afternoon when the sun warmed up the air a bit. It was cozy in the house, and my hamstring was bothering me, so I justified that I’d a lot of […]
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, […]
