I’m sure most of us strive for perfection, especially today with so much input at the touch of a finger that, whether we know it or not, is affecting our sense of self. Let’s say we come across a former schoolmate on social media who is sharing their beautiful home. If we feel a sense […]
I used to be one of those people that let drama overtake their life. I lived in constant drama around my family, and I didn’t like it. Looking back, I get that I was surviving not living my life to my highest capabilities. When we look beyond the drama, that’s when life unfolds, where we […]
We’re all given the same opportunities to learn, grow, evolve and be educated (I’m not referring to college. You can learn at a library for free.) What it comes down to is desire. It’s much easier to sit around chatting with your pals or family and getting all your knowledge from them. Who wants to […]
Underwater volcanos form islands. Molten lava erupts over time, creating a land mass where there once was the ocean. It’s incredible how our earth knows how to create new life. We know how to, too, and I’m not referring to creating a baby. I’m referring to changing our lives to a new existence where […]
Isn’t it a fact that we all want to minimize feeling pain? We are so good at diverting our attention elsewhere. Moving pictures were a welcome distraction for people who lived through world wars and the Great Depression. Today, we have so many things to take our attention—it is ridiculous! With all the entertainment […]
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’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. […]
