You are doing better than you think! I am so serious. Do you wonder how I would even know that? Why is it that it so much easier for others to see when you are the one on the inside? Probably because we are our worse critic and we are not always looking for the…

How to Choose Your Word of the Year
Wow, here we are at the close of another year! This one seems to have gone faster than the one before! So much has happened that sharing it all in one post would make one’s head explode. I will spare you the details then. All in all, there were many lessons learned, many tears shed…
Mindset is Everything!
Here is something that I have been learning about life while sitting at home more. We can actually start with little to nothing and end up with a lot! I have also seen that someone can have everything, lose it all, and rebuild…. When I think about all that I have been through and where…
Where are you going?
The great Yogi Berra said, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll likely end up somewhere else.” With all that is going on, many of us may be walking through our lives in the dark. Are you feeling lost? Alone? Does it feel like you are just existing, having no clear vision or direction…
Why Are We in a Rush?
Before all of this craziness began, I was always in a hurry. Rushing here and there…scurrying like a little mouse to get everything on my to-do list done. Now that things have slowed down for me, I am wondering what all the rushing was about. What exactly was the rush? My schedule, like many other…
The Impact Of Labels
People love to put labels on us. We label others all of the time. What is your sign? What do you do? What are you? (my least favorite and most popular question to date…uh, human!) Are you a Democrat? Left handed? A morning person? A mom? Whatever… For some reason, people have to be able…
You Are Not Broken!
For many years, I really spent a lot of time doubting myself. Always wishing that I had a different body or looked different, had a better financial situation or a different life. It took me a moment but I did realize that I needed to accept myself, the way I was…right then. We have to…
I Stopped Chasing Perfection
I think have spent most of my adult life chasing a certain number in my bank account, a certain number on the scale…friends…careers…you know where I am going. I wanted everything that made me look like I had it all together. I know that I am not the only one. SO….what “perfect” thing have you…
I’m Outgrowing People and That’s Ok
As we get older..we tend to outgrow things. We have outgrown our clothes, our tastes and there are certain things that we just aren’t going to do anymore. Have you outgrown Santa and the tooth fairy? Maybe you have outgrown wrestling your younger siblings or dainty little tea parties (can’t say that I have!)…it happens….
Opening Up Will Change Your Life
I used to be more outgoing in my young adult years. I wanted to be around everybody. I wanted to have get-togethers every weekend…now…not so much. As time has gone on and my focus has been more on raising productive members of society, I have turned into somewhat of a hermit. I rarely shared my…
