I learned a lot about how men think from my husband. Women and men see things differently. It’s just the way it is. So, I thought I’d have a little fun and show what we need to know about the opposite sex. Some general differences: MEN […]
“Love comes to you when you least expect it. Don’t look for it.” That’s something I heard many years ago. I think from a movie. It makes sense, and it happened to me with my husband. I wasn’t looking for it at that place we met, but I think I attracted it. There was a […]
There is a scam going on that’s very dangerous! We’ve got to be on guard and vigilant to this immediately! There’s this thing between our ears on our heads that allows anything from our five senses into it. It’s like a vacuum, sucking in information like the latest and greatest Dyson sweeper. It doesn’t filter […]
I went to a presentation on the history of organized crime (mafia) in our area. The reason is that I have written a book, At What Price, that has some organized crime in it, and I went there for research and inspiration. During the first speaker’s PowerPoint presentation (with photos and newspaper clippings), some people […]
I’ve always had a knack for choosing good presents. Sure, I got it wrong a few times, but for the most part, I think I’m good at knowing what a person might like. It’s because I listen and pay attention to their styles, likes, etc. I guess I take the time to care. Anyhoo, I […]
I am mindful of how I spend money. That mindset started years ago when I became a single mom and was the one in charge of the finances. I learned to be frugal but not live in a scarcity mindset. That’s tough to do. The scarcity mindset was always present because of the reality of […]
I recently began going to a meditation class. The guy teaching us is incredible at instructing, and I feel so relaxed leaving the class. He gave us printouts with Buddhist prayers for meditation. Once home, I slipped the papers into sheet protectors in an organized binder I created labeled “Mindfulness, Meditation and Relaxation. (Oh, I’m […]
I missed writing a blog post for last Wednesday. I let life get in the way. That troubled me, but I had to let it go. It’s in the past, and that’s not where happiness resides. So, stay in the present. Okay? I thought of this analogy, and I’m sharing it because I think it’s […]
The other day, I heard “Pocketful of Rainbows” by Elvis Presley. It’s a s+++++++++++++++weet song from 1960. It brought a smirk to my lips, thinking about how things have changed. In 1991, the Spin Doctors released an album called Pocketful of Kryptonite. (You can listen to the entire album here.) The first song is called “Jimmy […]
While doing some decluttering on my computer, I came across a meme I saved about things we can control. (How did I accumulate so many memes?) One of them was how seriously you take life. Of course, it got me thinking about how, as of late, I’ve been taking life way too seriously and feeling […]
