Five Steps
The other day, I wanted to go for a walk. It was chilly, so I thought I’d wait till the afternoon when the sun warmed up the air a bit. But then my hamstring was bothering me, and it was so cozy in the house. Plus, I had a lot of work […]

Let’s Do It Our Way
When I thought about what to write today, the song “My Way” by Frank Sinatra came to mind. I hadn’t heard it for a long time, but I have been thinking lately about what it means to do life my way. Here are the lyrics to “My Way“ … And now, the end is near, […]
Calling All Butterflies
Today is a new day. It’s another opportunity to live the way you want to. Think about that. How many of us wake up and go about the day without any thought of how we actually want the day to go? Oh, that was me for a very long time. I was in the pinball […]
It’s Okay To Let It Go
When I woke up this morning, I was waiting for a positive blog post idea to manifest like it had been happening, but it didn’t. I’ve been feeling anger these last few days, and it doesn’t make me feel good, so I thought maybe I should write about that. Then it hit me. I […]
Uncomfortably Numb
We’re all given the same opportunities to learn, grow, evolve and be educated (I’m not referring to college. You can learn at a library for free.) What it comes down to is desire. It’s much easier to sit around chatting with your pals or family and getting all your knowledge from them. Who wants to […]
Stuff
For many years, I accumulated stuff. The more we are alive, the more stuff we have. These last few months, I’ve come to realize just how much stuff I have. It’s overwhelming in the small house my husband and I share. We talk about our next house, which is going to have enormous closets and […]
We Have To Do What Is Hard To Do What Is Easy
Anything we do one time is not going to be done great. We have to keep doing things over and over, and then before you know it, it’s become something easy. The problem arises when we think about what we want to change, do, or be, and fear barges in to start the doubts. Even […]
How Do You Love Your Life?
This idea came to me the other day. I had woken up in a grumpy mood. I had been waking up and listening to positive affirmations on YouTube, like this video. But this morning, I didn’t. Instead, I let the present reality, feeling pain from a recent shoulder surgery, get to me. I thought (I’m […]
You Don’t Have to Be Old, Be Yold Instead!
If everything we are, do, and have in our lives is a result of our mindset, I’m a firm believer that we are only as old as we think we are. I coined the phrase yold one day when I was thinking about my age. I thought I’m not old; I’m in between young and […]
Do You Have Statues?
What I mean by the cryptic title are the people in our lives we put on pedestals, like statues. I put so many people on pedestals and looked up to them like I did the statues of Jesus, Mary, and the saints in the sanctuary of the church I went to growing up. There were […]
