Every interaction we have with each other is subjective to an individual’s perspective. We interact through our lenses, prejudices, and insecurities, and what may come off as a person meaning well can, in fact, be taken as a hurtful comment. Other times, there is no justification. What I’ve been pondering lately is how a person […]
Most of us know the title is a line from The Lord’s Prayer. The line before that is “And forgive us our trespasses.” It got me thinking about what exactly that means. Sure, I say my prayers, one of which is The Lord’s Prayer, but given recent events, I let the line, “As we […]
I’m sure most of us strive for perfection, especially today with so much input at the touch of a finger that, whether we know it or not, is affecting our sense of self. Let’s say we come across a former schoolmate on social media who is sharing their beautiful home. If we feel a sense […]
I used to be one of those people that let drama overtake their life. I lived in constant drama around my family, and I didn’t like it. Looking back, I get that I was surviving not living my life to my highest capabilities. When we look beyond the drama, that’s when life unfolds, where we […]
Everyone makes mistakes. Some regret them to the degree that they allow them to haunt their present moments. I did that for many years.

I used incorrect spelling for a reason to capture attention. This is an important topic that hits home today, New Year’s Day. Most of us have or are making New Year’s resolutions for the upcoming year. We want things to be better this year than last year. We hope and pray, we dream, and we […]
Last December I did a post about choosing a word for the year. I included a list of words to choose from that resonated with you. My word for 2024 is “manifest.” For 2025, I’ve chosen the word “execute.” EXECUTE verb To carry out or put into effect (a plan, order, or course of action). […]
My last blog was about life beats. I wrote about how life has ups and downs, like the beating of our hearts. There’s even a neat video of a heartbeat that sounds cool. Check it out here. The other day, I fell emotionally, and I fell hard. I wanted to give up. I said the words […]
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 […]
