Recently, I’ve adopted this mindset of what eva. Yes, it’s whatever spelled differently for effect. It’s how the sassy girls say it. And even though I’m not sassy, I can use it too. So, what eva! The “what eva” mindset is when you don’t let things get to you or bring you down. Watching the news […]
Each day we wake, do our things, and settle down for the night. Rinse and repeat—day after day. What we fit into our days is totally up to us. Whether you believe outside forces are at play and controlling your life is up to you, but that’s not always the case. Ultimately, we are the […]
My intention for this blog is to share what I know that helped me make life better, but I haven’t been able to narrow down the focus to convey what exactly this blog is about. Firstly, I’m not one to shout out from the rooftops that I have a blog or write, so I don’t […]
I use this little container from Tupperware to hold Advil and Tylenol in my purse. I got it when I sold Tupperware for a very short time. (Wasn’t for me. I don’t like to ask people to buy things.) It’s come in handy a few times when I or someone else was suffering and needed […]
Higamaroo is a term I came up with to describe random events that distract me from what I intend to do. For example, I say, “I’m going to write on my blog.” Great, right? Well, I see something which makes me think of something else, and then I’m doing that thing instead of the original […]

There are plenty of children’s stories about believing in the unseen. I saw a cute movie about children who befriend fairies by a creek, but the adults couldn’t see them. They said adults lose the ability to see them. Why do we lose our sense of wonder and belief in the unseen and unknown? Believe […]
I got off track. It happens sometimes, right? We mean well, but we fall off the wagon (ate the goodie, smoked, lost track of time, and didn’t finish the project, fill in the blank _____.) What happens? I think our internal GPS (that’s supposed to guide us to what is best for us) gets offline. […]
The trees on the side of our property seeded themselves. I didn’t plant them when I moved in with my daughter. It was an empty slope with a view of the river and Campbell’s Ledge. I had to install a fence to protect my young daughter in the yard. I found a used wrought iron […]
Who Wants Some Humble Pie? No matter how rich or successful we become (or on our way there), there’s nothing less sexy than an egotistical jerk who treats people with resentment. I say they need a slice of humble pie. When one stops being earthbound and grounded, common sense leaves, and like a hot air […]
