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. […]
Did you ever notice that when you have children or are around children, it’s easy to believe in magical things like fairies or bears that speak? Watching a Disney film can awaken the child in us to believe in the unseen. If you are a Disney movie fan, as I am, you can relate to […]
Do you know what we remember the most? Experiences. Say, “I do to you,” and those experiences are sure to be great! Sure, we can get a fabulous gift that we will have forever (like jewelry), and when we look at it, we can remember how it came to be. But – living, authentic living, […]
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 […]
With each choice we make, we move in a direction that either leads us down the right path to happiness or allows us to learn a lesson. When we bitch and moan about problems going on in our lives, we’re taking the path of “hoping we learn a lesson.” But that isn’t always so. I […]
I was talking to the woman who cuts my hair about Thanksgiving, where we’re going, and who’s doing what. Listening to her talk about her family get-together made me remember the Thanksgiving my mother threw the turkey out the back door. True story. She was overwhelmed and let the stress get the better of her, […]
You probably know your credit score, but what’s your value? Not how much is in your bank account or how much you help others, but to ask, “What am I worth?” That’s where you’ll get the truth. When we know our worth, we choose better. We make fast, intelligent decisions that serve our greater good. […]
There has to come a time in our lives when we decide we’re worth better and poke the bear. This could mean anything from doing that survey on the U.S. Post Office receipt because the person was rude or applying for better jobs because you need to move on. Anything that lets us express our […]
The other day, I wanted to go for a walk for exercise. It was a beautiful day, and I work from home, so getting out of the house and breathing in the outside air is a good thing. However, something happened, and I’m so glad it did because what I learned was life-changing. Let me […]
Did you ever notice how water flows during a rainstorm? It rushes down a hill with force, and if it runs into an object, it either goes around or on top of it. It’s fascinating to watch. Water does its own thing and will go where it wants to go. We have an old stone […]
