Have You Laughed Today?

Today, I wanted to share a little something that always changes my mood—laughing. I consider myself a humorous person. I find things to laugh about, sometimes including something I did. Yes, I can laugh at myself. We all should do that, too.  It takes the pressure off of being so serious and heavy. If someone […]

Are We Actors or Players?

My husband and I went to see a friend’s band play live on an outdoor deck at a bar/restaurant. Before we got there, rain had hit hard, and all the tables not under a roof got soaked. We found two dry seats in an upstairs area that was partially covered. We couldn’t hear the band […]

Cool Down Time

So, if we’ve been working on ourselves and questioning how we feel, I’m sure anger has reared its head. Letting ourselves feel the pain sucks, but we have to do it to get through to the other side (where we feel good.)  Just like exercise DVDs, after the hard stuff, comes the cool-down time. I […]

Are You With the Right Tribe?

So many things affect how we see ourselves. We have been bombarded since birth with messages that go into our subconscious mind and form how we think, act, and believe about ourselves.

What Do You Do With Your Time?

As of late, I’ve been monitoring what I do with my time. There have been days when it was a blur, and I had all these things to do but found myself doing other things that, while they were necessary (like household stuff), weren’t urgent at the time. Years ago, I learned about the Eisenhower […]

Forget About Perfect

My mother makes this incredible cream for her banana cream pie. It is decadent and loaded with calories and fat—the yummy kind of dessert. I made it for Mother’s Day this year. While beating the homemade whipped cream, I had to taste it, you know, for quality control. It was delicious. Didn’t think about the […]
