Happy Sunday! I thought about this blog idea but didn’t have the right words until now. As an overthinker, my days (and nights) get filled with many thoughts and ideas (sometimes, I get jacked up with worry and fear and allow distractions to happen.) Since one of my goals is to pare down my thoughts […]
Let’s Dance One funny thing I had done was to record myself dancing in my pajamas (and not flattering ones) that captured me from my neck to the top of my legs. It was a Sunday, and I was in a silly mood. The idea was that I would record myself dancing to put […]
Keep it cool. What does that mean? To chill, relax, be calm? Yes, of course, but I’m referring to lowering your upset threshold and living lighter. What do I mean by “living lighter?” A mindset where you care less about the little shits, the things that pick at you like a vulture on its prey. […]
Reflection can mean two things: 1 .the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it. Mirroring. “the reflection of light” 2. serious thought or consideration. “he doesn’t get much time for reflection” an idea about something, especially one that is written down or expressed. “reflections on human destiny […]
Good day. I wish you a good mood. (Hehe) If you’ve been following my blog, that might bring a chuckle. I hope so. I created this title to get your attention, but it’s also the topic. (I’m not such a shmuck to use an attention-grabbing title to lure you into a piece about how we […]

My 2023 word for the year is balance. I chose this word because I have felt out of kilter for some time. This morning I allowed myself time to lay in bed and ponder stuff. I was in no hurry to get out and begin the day doing this or that. I just wanted […]
When was the last time you thought, I am so thankful for ________? No, really, listen to yourself speak for the next day or so. It’s just one day. Listen to what you speak and, more importantly, what you think. See how many times you say or think, “Man, I’m grateful for _________.” Having grateful […]
The best feeling in the world is when we feel peace. We can have all the people and things we could ever ask for and still feel uneasy; something is not quite right. Perhaps there’s that spark that keeps us up at night thinking or doing late-night snacking when you’re physically full but emotionally starving. […]
I visited my aunt over Christmas and heard her say that time goes by so fast when you’re older. I processed it and realized I guess I’m “older” too because it feels like time flies by for me. I make a weekly schedule and cannot believe it’s Monday already or whatever day, and the thing […]
