We need to be honest. As much as we say that we do not care what people think about how we look or what we say, it is not true. We do! Most people are always worried about how people see them and it has got to be driving them crazy. It used to drive…

Oops, I did it again… another mistake
We need to face the absolute fact that no matter how good we think we are, we are never going to be perfect! (not here on earth, anyway). We need to own that! The worst thing we can do is swallow it and cover it, making a collection of bad things that we plan on…
Are you responsible”for” or “to” them?
I read somewhere that The Law of Responsibility says that we are responsible FOR ourselves and TO others. Seriously, there is nothing wrong with helping another person. I mean, that is why we have what we have, including our gifts and talents…to enjoy them ourselves and to share with others. We just have to have…
Defining Success Your Way
How often have you really thought about what success means to you? As a young person, I did not think about it much, but when I did, it usually depended on the car you had, the home you lived in and the money you made. When we are younger, we rarely get asked the question,…
Being Yourself Changes Everything
Whether it is a friendship, relationship, or situationship, we should always strive to be ourselves no matter what.

Loving/Accepting Yourself..for real
I don’t think a day goes by where I do not say things like, “I want to lose 20 more pounds…then I will be happy.” “If my waist was a little more snatched, I could wear that dress.” Anyone else? I have been struggling with this for what feels like forever–always wanting to change something…
Gratitude
Gratitude– The quality of being thankful, readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. I always thought that I knew exactly what gratitude was until I really looked at this definition. I mean..the QUALITY of being thankful! To me, that means more than just saying thank you. When I look at gratitude now, I…
Discipline…I have little
Whether it was my parents, teachers, or any adult for that matter, I heard “you must follow the rules”. Was anyone else told that you have to be patient? What about “do this or you will not go/get that? I was even made to believe at times that what I wanted to do as an…
That One Trait
Relationships can be hard. We all have certain things that we will not compromise when it comes to choosing a date or even a friend. Tall, dark, and handsome….or maybe you will bend a little on the handsome if he is financially stable, or is good in bed. But what if he is a nice…
