This question hit me the other day when I was thinking about if I feel like an adult. I know, I know, I have a job, own a home, am responsible for taking care of it, and I raised a daughter who is now an adult, so that should make me feel like an adult, […]
It seems so easy to cast a judging eye, doesn’t it? When I think of a judgy person, I might conjure up an image of an uppity woman putting her nose up at the plumber fixing her water heater or the passerby in the restaurant she’s eating at. But then I’m no better […]
My cousin and his wife went to see Coldplay in concert. He texted me a few videos and wrote, “Great show, you feel good after.” The videos showed people tossing around large beach balls and singing along with the band. It looked like a lot of fun! Concertgoers wore light-up bracelets controlled by the band […]

As a child, I was extremely curious. I wanted to know why things were the way they were. I asked a lot of questions but didn’t always get truthful answers. I first began to critically examine the traditional beliefs I had, (and had taken for granted) when I was in my twenties. I found […]
I fondly remember a time when I used to play, have fun, enjoy life, and make happy memories. It wasn’t that long ago, so what happened? Sure, the more responsibility we have to tackle, the more we can feel overburdened where we forget to take a break and enjoy a pleasant moment. We are the […]
How do we prevent getting hurt by people? And no, becoming a hermit isn’t the answer. But here are four things you can do. Don’t Allow the Setup. What I mean by this is that believe it or not, we have the power to control situations. We can’t control people, but we can control ourselves […]
