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!

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 […]
As soon as I thought of a title, the song from the movie A Night at the Roxbury came to mind. It started as a skit on Saturday Night Live. If you know this, I’m sure you’re smiling now and maybe tipping your head to the song in your head. Here is the song “What […]
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 […]
