We are not born knowing how to respect ourselves. That comes from external circumstances and experiences. Maybe the horoscope signs have a little effect too. I write that because I’ve read about horoscope signs and the traits of those born under the sign. Sometimes, it’s spot on, especially with the Leo sign. Almost every single […]
Are we in complete control of our lives? I’ve often thought of that question. My past has caused the money mindset and worthiness value I’ve had most of my life, but with a lot of work, I now realize I am in control of my life, my happniness. I know what I have to do […]
I am mindful of how I spend money. That mindset started years ago when I became a single mom and was the one in charge of the finances. I learned to be frugal but not live in a scarcity mindset. That’s tough to do. The scarcity mindset was always present because of the reality of […]
While watching Bargain Bethany on YouTube creating gift baskets for Christmas, I heard her say, “That was a simpler time,” while making one from the 1950s. It struck me as important, and here comes the blog. I can recall a simpler time, as I’m sure a lot of us could, too. We think about it […]

I visited my aunt over Christmas and heard her say that time goes by so fast when you’re older. I processed it and realized I guess I’m “older” too because it feels like time flies by for me. I make a weekly schedule and cannot believe it’s Monday already or whatever day, and the thing […]
I was asked the question, “Are you happy?” and I replied, “Of course, I am!” I took a second and replied again, “I might not be too happy with my job at the moment but I’m still happy.” No, that didn’t fly either. So how do I know I’m happy if I’m not happy with […]
I fondly remember a time when I used to play, have fun, enjoy life, and make happy memories. It wasn’t that long ago, so what happened? Sure, the more responsibility we have to tackle, the more we can feel overburdened where we forget to take a break and enjoy a pleasant moment. We are the […]
