I thought about the idea of telling someone, “I love you.” I do it a lot, maybe more than I should. I don’t know if there’s proper etiquette for how many times you can say ‘I love you.” It’s a personal thing. Saying it is one thing, but there are ways to say ‘I love […]
A contestant on America’s Got Talent sang a silly song about wanting more Parmesan cheese. Simon Cowell, one of the judges, hit the X button quickly, and then the other judges followed, giving him four Xs, which meant he was done. Still, the guy kept singing to the audience and didn’t let the judges’ Xs […]
Something struck me this morning when I was getting up that stuck with me, and I have to write about it. I think it might be helpful to someone else. Just a few years ago, I was sleeping through life. I was not happy, but I wasn’t unhappy. I didn’t know what I was. I […]
I made a boo-boo. I thought one thing, but I was wrong. I fessed up. I said I was sorry. The other person said no problem. Done. That’s simple life right there. But, still, some people aren’t holding themselves accountable. Blaming is easy, too, right, but it doesn’t help matters – and by matters, I […]
I saw a mentalist perform card tricks. He was fantastic! I recommend one if you have a party and want some great entertainment. Anyway, he did some tricks with a deck of cards. Last night I woke in the middle of the night and could not fall asleep. It was so frustrating! But I got […]

The music didn’t bring back specific memories but it gave me a feeling. When I heard Money for Nothing by Dire Straits, […]
Bringing wealth to your life is all about your mindset regarding money. You may think all you have to do is work hard, and you’ll bring in the big bucks, but there’s more to it than just spending your time working. You can work 60 hours a week and still be financially struggling or you […]
This is the title of a book idea I developed several years ago. I’m embarrassed to write that because of the time I’ve allowed to pass doing other things instead of sending out a book proposal for it. The book is geared toward children and teaches them about money. I don’t remember how I learned […]
Animals are great, aren’t they? Seeing a wild animal doing its thing (one that won’t harm you or doesn’t annoy you) can raise the level of dopamine in your brain. That’s the feel-good chemical that we want more of. Having an animal as a pet reduces blood pressure and makes you feel better just […]
When we feel anxious or begin to doubt ourselves, insecurity is at play. The question then becomes why. Why does insecurity affect us in so many ways? We usually don’t know it’s happening, but something feels off. Insecurity has been with us since childhood. Unless you had a perfect family with perfect parents, you were […]
