As I was creating a post for today, the only thing glaring out was a recent interaction I had with my mother and the lesson I learned. It’s bothering me, and I can’t stop thinking about it. So, I’m sharing. I made banana maple muffins yesterday. They are the bomb of muffins – delicious and […]
My husband and I went to see a friend’s band play live on an outdoor deck at a bar/restaurant. Before we got there, rain had hit hard, and all the tables not under a roof got soaked. We found two dry seats in an upstairs area that was partially covered. We couldn’t hear the band […]
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.

So many things affect how we see ourselves. We have been bombarded since birth with messages that go into our subconscious mind and form how we think, act, and believe about ourselves. I’ve been lost. For many years, I felt like I was living in a pinball machine, bouncing from one thing to the next, […]

Today, Mother’s Day, got me thinking about what to write. I know I’m grateful for being a mother and don’t take it for granted like I used to. Life and goals had me bumping around an imaginary pinball machine for years. I made mistakes as a mother. My time was too fragmented to focus one […]
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 knew the definition of denial (refusal to admit the truth or reality of something). When I looked it up, there was another definition for denial (refusal to satisfy a request or desire.) So, denial is also a refusal to satisfy a request or desire. Huh, that made me think about how much I have […]
I have always been a prayer—not the word thing, a person who prays. I don’t know how else to write it. I was raised Catholic and learned prayers. In stressful moments, praying helped me calm down and know that things would change for the better. I believe praying or whatever meditative ritual you believe in […]
