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. I’ve been lost. For many years, I felt like I was living in a pinball machine, bouncing from one thing to the next, […]

Just Make One Move

I am writing this blog for two reasons: one, because I love to write, and two because I want to be a catalyst for positive change within us.  This stuff I’m writing about has been brewing within me for a long time. I felt like I was going to burst if I didn’t get this […]

Whatever You Believe

Whatever you believe in your mind and heart about a higher power, you learned that as a kid. If you believe that there’s no such thing as a god or higher power, that’s perfectly okay. I would like to believe that those who do not conceive there is something greater than us still run their […]

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 […]

Better For It To Be Raining

What happens when it rains? Sure, it’s gray outside and could be cold and damp, but the positive is that it cleanses and purifies. Most people complain about the rain, but rain is a life force. It helps crops grow, and wildlife have water in arid climates. For us, here, a summer rain could help […]

Da Nile is a river in Egypt

I knew the definition of denial (refusal to admit the truth or reality of something). When I looked it up, there was another definition for denial (refusal to satisfy a request or desire.) So, denial is also a refusal to satisfy a request or desire. Huh, that made me think about how much I have […]
