We’ve all interacted with that person who says whatever they’re thinking (without giving it a second thought.) This is the person who blurts out whatever is on their mind. Some of it’s good. Some of it’s funny. But some of it can be hurtful and harmful. During my lifetime, I have encountered many […]
With the new year upon us, there’s often a feeling to start fresh and create a new chapter in our lives. One way to start with a clean slate is to clean the slate. When we purge the old, it makes room for the new. Sure, I’m referring to the stuff around us that blocks […]
Everyone makes mistakes. Some regret them to the degree that they allow them to haunt their present moments. I did that for many years. When we allow past mistakes to keep us down, stuck, and feeling not good enough, we are no longer living in the present. Mistakes are a part of living life. That’s […]
Like many others, I’ve been dealing with pain. For me, it’s been torn tendons in my shoulder. It’s tough sometimes to get out of bed or even want to lay in bed to sleep because that can cause more pain. Regardless, I know that we can heal because that’s what our bodies do. It’s when […]
I used incorrect spelling for a reason to capture attention. This is an important topic that hits home today, New Year’s Day. Most of us have or are making New Year’s resolutions for the upcoming year. We want things to be better this year than last year. We hope and pray, we dream, and we […]
When we look in the mirror as we age, our focus is on our skin. We see wrinkles and new spots that weren’t there the year before, and we (hopefully) start getting checked at the doctor’s office for irregular moles. (Please do it; it can save your life.) The sun can damage our skin a […]
Last December I did a post about choosing a word for the year. I included a list of words to choose from that resonated with you. My word for 2024 is “manifest.” For 2025, I’ve chosen the word “execute.” EXECUTE verb To carry out or put into effect (a plan, order, or course of action). […]
It’s been challenging coming up with positive ideas to write about since dealing with a mighty shoulder issue. I don’t like to dwell on such things, but it’s my reality now. And we all know that what we don’t want to address will mail itself to our consciousness, and then we have no choice but […]
One can’t help but reminisce about past Christmases this time of year. Being a kid at Christmas was the best! I always believed in the magic of Christmas. It wasn’t all about getting presents (although getting a new toy was pretty sweet); it was a feeling that made it special. It certainly wasn’t because […]
My last blog was about life beats. I wrote about how life has ups and downs, like the beating of our hearts. There’s even a neat video of a heartbeat that sounds cool. Check it out here. The other day, I fell emotionally, and I fell hard. I wanted to give up. I said the words […]
