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 […]
I’ve always been a private person, only sharing my life and true thoughts with a few people. And I have to trust someone first to do that. I’ve been putting my life out there, and after the dust settled from my anxiety from doing it, I know now it was the right thing to do. […]

We are Pittsburgh Steelers fans through and through – black and yellow, baby! Then we learned the Steelers are playing two Thursday night games this season, and you can only see them if you have an Amazon Prime membership.

Megan writes, “Internalized messages from past traumatic events or childhood wounds may contribute to feelings of unworthiness, making practicing self-compassion challenging. The quickest way to create a self-compassionate response involves thinking about how you might respond to a beloved friend.” I did […]
I heard the Minimal Mom on YouTube talk about this idea of “bandwidth.” She said something like at the end of the day, she had no bandwidth left. I never heard that term before (describing the energy we have), but I got what she meant. I’ve always said, “I’m losing my steam,” which means the […]
I woke up this morning with “Crystal Ball” by Styx playing in my head. I started singing it. I couldn’t remember all the lyrics since I hadn’t heard it in a while. So, I googled them. When I read the following lyrics, it got me thinking about this blog. I wonder what tomorrow has in […]
Yesterday, I was in a convenience store and heard a customer ask the young male cashier, “How’s it goin’?” The cashier responded in a mundane voice, “Ah, ya know, livin’ the dream.” I’ve heard that expression before, and I never liked it. Doesn’t it imply that you’re not happy with your life? What about […]
