Thanksgiving Survival Tactics

I was talking to the woman who cuts my hair about Thanksgiving, where we’re going, and who’s doing what. Listening to her talk about her family get-together made me remember the Thanksgiving my mother threw the turkey out the back door. True story. She was overwhelmed and let the stress get the better of her, […]

What Are You Worth?

You probably know your credit score, but what’s your value? Not how much is in your bank account or how much you help others, but to ask, “What am I worth?” That’s where you’ll get the truth. When we know our worth, we choose better. We make fast, intelligent decisions that serve our greater good. […]

Poke the Bear

There has to come a time in our lives when we decide we’re worth better and poke the bear. This could mean anything from doing that survey on the U.S. Post Office receipt because the person was rude or applying for better jobs because you need to move on. Anything that lets us express our […]

Me First

The other day, I wanted to go for a walk for exercise. It was a beautiful day, and I work from home, so getting out of the house and breathing in the outside air is a good thing. However, something happened, and I’m so glad it did because what I learned was life-changing. Let me […]

Flow Like Water

Did you ever notice how water flows during a rainstorm? It rushes down a hill with force, and if it runs into an object, it either goes around or on top of it. It’s fascinating to watch. Water does its own thing and will go where it wants to go. We have an old stone […]

Just Turn Around

I’ve always been a private person, only sharing my life and true thoughts with a few people. And I have to trust someone first to do that. I’ve been putting my life out there, and after the dust settled from my anxiety from doing it, I know now it was the right thing to do. […]

REDO

I am so glad it’s a new month. It’s a chance to redo everything. We get to change our minds, plans, or even our address if that’s what’s on the agenda. A new month is a fresh start to get back on track, and boy, do I need to get back on track. Our bodies […]

The Tricks to Life

Since Halloween is upon us, I thought I would write about the Tricks to Life. What the heck are they? Well, there’s a few ways I could think of to improve your life. And the best part is when you know the tricks, you get to enjoy the treat of a happy life. Hey, if […]

Balance Yourself

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase that there are givers and takers in life. Looking through your life, you can see the difference in people. Who are the givers? Who are the takers? If you’re entirely a taker or a giver, then you’re doing it all wrong. Sorry, I have to tell you the truth. […]

They Got Us!

We are Pittsburgh Steelers fans through and through – black and yellow, baby! Then we learned the Steelers are playing two Thursday night games this season, and you can only see them if you have an Amazon Prime membership. Wow, it hit me just how much “business” (commerce/capitalism/corporate greed) is controlling our lives. I mean, […]
