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 […]

Most people aren’t living. They react to life. I thought about this and knew I wasn’t living much, either. I was reacting to life and allowing the past to infiltrate my present, repeatedly causing me the same damn pain! Why would I or anyone do that? For me, and maybe for others, too, I’ve been […]
I rode an elevator with a father and his two little boys a few days ago. The father could’ve auditioned for the role of Grumpy, the Dwarf, and got the part. I asked if the boys were twins. He mumbled something about Irish twins I didn’t understand (but have since Googled it and […]
