Are You Settling?

When we settle for something in our lives, whether that’s a relationship, a job, or a friend, we’re telling ourselves that we don’t deserve anything better. What a sad state of affairs. Let’s find a way to immediately wipe those insecure and self-defeating thoughts out of our heads! It’s not a  suggestion. This is real […]

Wake Up, Sleepy Head!

Something struck me this morning when I was getting up that stuck with me, and I have to write about it. I think it might be helpful to someone else. Just a few years ago, I was sleeping through life. I was not happy, but I wasn’t unhappy. I didn’t know what I was. I […]

The Joker

I saw a mentalist perform card tricks. He was fantastic! I recommend one if you have a party and want some great entertainment. Anyway, he did some tricks with a deck of cards. Last night I woke in the middle of the night and could not fall asleep. It was so frustrating! But I got […]

Wanna Be Rich?

This is the title of a book idea I developed several years ago. I’m embarrassed to write that because of the time I’ve allowed to pass doing other things instead of sending out a book proposal for it.

Speeding Around the Sun

I’m a bit irritable today. The air here is overcome with smoke from the wildfires in Canada and is affecting me poorly. I can’t even imagine how the people feel closer to the fires. I wish them well. It seems nowadays, things move fast. (I hope I don’t sound like an old fogy.) We’re moving faster. […]

Everything Heals

Hi. I wish you a good mood. Today I got inspired by something my guy said about how everything heals. We had another beautiful conversation about philosophical stuff (which I love if you can’t tell already), and he said, “Everything in life, emotional or physical, can heal in time with care.” It made me think […]

There’s a Little Elf In All of Us

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. […]

What If You Could Be Calmer?

Two words have caused me great anxiety: what if? What if there’s too much traffic? What if the water heater warranty expires? What if I take this job and it doesn’t work out? On and on and on. But I never thought that I could use the words what if for positive thinking too, like […]
