From the outside, my life looks good. I’d expect people to think I had a what-do-you-have-to-complain-about-life, other people have worse problems than you. Well, I learned I’m somebody, too, and deserve to be happy, no matter what that looks like. I’ve gotten quite experienced on the subject of personal development and want to establish that […]
I thought I’d mix it up today and do something different. We all deserve a miracle every day. Here are ten miraculous ideas that can change your life. = One = Think better thoughts. Become mindful of what you think and try to shift from thinking something negative to positive. It might be challenging at […]
So, if we’ve been working on ourselves and questioning how we feel, I’m sure anger has reared its head. Letting ourselves feel the pain sucks, but we have to do it to get through to the other side (where we feel good.) Just like exercise DVDs, after the hard stuff, comes the cool-down time. I […]
As of late, I’ve been monitoring what I do with my time. There have been days when it was a blur, and I had all these things to do but found myself doing other things that, while they were necessary (like household stuff), weren’t urgent at the time. Years ago, I learned about the Eisenhower […]
I have an incredible banana cream pie recipe. It is decadent and loaded with calories and fat—the yummy kind of dessert. I made it for Mother’s Day this year. While beating the homemade whipped cream, I had to taste it, you know, for quality control. It was delicious. Didn’t think about the fact I’m lactose […]
What happens when it rains? Sure, it’s gray outside and could be cold and damp, but the positive is that it cleanses and purifies. Most people complain about the rain, but rain is a life force. It helps crops grow, and wildlife have water in arid climates. For us, here, a summer rain could help […]
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 […]
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 happiness. 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 […]
