Everyone makes mistakes. Some regret them to the degree that they allow them to haunt their present moments. I did that for many years. When we allow past mistakes to keep us down, stuck, and feeling not good enough, we are no longer living in the present. Mistakes are a part of living life. That’s […]
Like many others, I’ve been dealing with pain. For me, it’s been torn tendons in my shoulder. It’s tough sometimes to get out of bed or even want to lay in bed to sleep because that can cause more pain. Regardless, I know that we can heal because that’s what our bodies do. It’s when […]
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 […]
My now-husband took this photo of me in 2013 at Lake Jean at Ricketts Glen State Park (beautiful waterfalls.) At that time, I was in hiding, terribly so. My hair was red. I wanted a change. I knew I needed to save myself, but I didn’t know how. I was born blonde. That […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
