I’ve blamed my upbringing for the way my life has turned out so far. I put control in the hands of someone other than myself and felt powerless to change my life. It seemed like my circumstances dictated how I was going to live. The other day, I tripped in my office/dressing room on […]
I used incorrect spelling for a reason to capture attention. This is an important topic that hits home today, New Year’s Day. Most of us have or are making New Year’s resolutions for the upcoming year. We want things to be better this year than last year. We hope and pray, we dream, and we […]
My last blog was about life beats. I wrote about how life has ups and downs, like the beating of our hearts. There’s even a neat video of a heartbeat that sounds cool. Check it out here. The other day, I fell emotionally, and I fell hard. I wanted to give up. I said the words […]
Remember the show Sesame Street? It was more than just a kid’s television show teaching how to count, eat cookies, or spell. It showed us how to live with patience, understanding, and tolerance.

I’ve been MIA since my last blog post on April 7th. I had some personal health issues to contend with, but everything is okay, and I’m back. For the last week or so, I could not come up with anything to write about. I thought I had lost my creative writing mojo. Then, my husband […]
Ever since I could remember, come January 1st, I was making a list of resolutions I wanted to achieve for the year, and they were mostly the same: exercise more, eat better, and take better care of myself. I’m sure a lot of us have the same resolutions. Did I adhere to them? Not really. […]
