Our experiences shape our behavior. Because of that, we all live life through the lens of what those experiences taught us. Two people could grow up in the same house but have very different experiences. As a kid, I had things stolen from me. I didn’t have much, so to lose something dear to me […]
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’ve heard this question before to ask yourself, “What is your why?” The answer, I assume, tells us who we are, what is our passion, and what makes us happy? To be honest, I couldn’t answer this question. Seriously. I wrote that question down many times, hoping I’d write simple answers that would guide me […]
I learned a lot about how men think from my husband. Women and men see things differently. It’s just the way it is. So, I thought I’d have a little fun and show what we need to know about the opposite sex. Some general differences: MEN […]
“Love comes to you when you least expect it. Don’t look for it.” That’s something I heard many years ago. I think from a movie. It makes sense, and it happened to me with my husband. I wasn’t looking for it at that place we met, but I think I attracted it. There was a […]
There is a scam going on that’s very dangerous! We’ve got to be on guard and vigilant to this immediately! There’s this thing between our ears on our heads that allows anything from our five senses into it. It’s like a vacuum, sucking in information like the latest and greatest Dyson sweeper. It doesn’t filter […]
I went to a presentation on the history of organized crime (mafia) in our area. The reason is that I have written a book, At What Price, that has some organized crime in it, and I went there for research and inspiration. During the first speaker’s PowerPoint presentation (with photos and newspaper clippings), some people […]
I’ve always had a knack for choosing good presents. Sure, I got it wrong a few times, but for the most part, I think I’m good at knowing what a person might like. It’s because I listen and pay attention to their styles, likes, etc. I guess I take the time to care. Anyhoo, I […]
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 […]
I missed writing a blog post for last Wednesday. I let life get in the way. That troubled me, but I had to let it go. It’s in the past, and that’s not where happiness resides. So, stay in the present. Okay? I thought of this analogy, and I’m sharing it because I think it’s […]
