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 […]
I missed writing a blog post last week. Even though I had made it a priority to write a post every week, I didn’t. I felt too jumbled and out of control with everything going on, but I didn’t beat myself up for not doing it. Life happens. I knew I’d get back on track. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
I walked into my office, and my eyes glanced at the top shelf of the desk hutch, which brought back a memory I’d rather not think about. I stopped myself from thinking that, as I wrote in my last blog post, and recognized its source. Then I thought something I didn’t before – Get […]
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 […]
