When we settle for something in our lives, whether that’s a relationship, a job, or a friend, we’re telling ourselves that we don’t deserve anything better. What a sad state of affairs. Let’s find a way to immediately wipe those insecure and self-defeating thoughts out of our heads! It’s not a suggestion. This is real […]
A friend of mine who’s a musician posts his schedule on Facebook each week. I see it. I hit the like button. And I scroll on. Last week, I noticed two shares on the Facebook post, and I thought he was not asking anyone to share this, but two people did. That’s nice to be […]
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 […]
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 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 […]

This past weekend was busy. It was my birthday, and I wanted to do something special. And I did. And then we had a fundraiser to go to. So, it was busy. I didn’t have the bandwidth to write a blog post. So, here it is! Did you ever wish your life was different? I […]
I’m funny. No, seriously, I’m a funny person. I may come off as serious and deep, which I am, but I’m also a funny character. I’ve made funny comments to people, like a cashier, for example, who either didn’t get my humor or didn’t compute it because they were off somewhere else in their head. […]
You never know what you could accomplish when you get rid of all the noise. The noise I’m referring to is pretty much anything that doesn’t bring you joy and happiness. This is our life. So why don’t we aspire to have a great life? Who told us we had to live meager and small? […]
Are you like me and put way too many things on the daily to-do list? Drinking caffeine to keep up the energy? I hope not. It’s overwhelming! Why do I choose to do that to myself? I had to ask myself that question recently when I realized I was cramming in too many things and […]
