What is the Tone in Your Daily Life? #GiveADailyGIft

I have been struggling with a topic to write about. I want to be careful and more mindful about resorting to complaining. I have always looked at instances in my life, good or bad, and found a silver lining no matter what. But the tone of our nation has finally got to me. I can’t... Continue Reading →

America is Intolerant. What Will You Do About It? #BeTheChange

The tribal nature of the anger in America will suffocate us if we do not collectively change our community, our daily lives, our online lives. I have given this thought all week. The panel on Meet the Press at the end of the show last weekend on March 17th was just about that. They discussed... Continue Reading →

Words to the Other Side #WordsofGratitude

Dearest Friend, I still cannot believe you have left this earth for the next journey in this thing we call Life. It just does not seem possible that one day you were here and then soon thereafter, you are gone. But gone does not mean anything more than the physical, does it? I remember when...

It All Starts at Home #HelpingOthers #GivingIsReceiving

When was the last time you held a door open for someone? Better yet, when was the last time someone held a door open for you? How did that make you feel? Kindness matters now more than ever. Decades ago I read Deepak Chopra’s book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. This book changed my... Continue Reading →

Moving Can Be Emotional, For Reasons We May Not Realize #ChangeIsGood

I finished moving from my 480 square foot tiny house to a real place, 1,200 square feet featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a 2 car garage. Don’t laugh at my Realtor description, I can’t help it! I also had to admit that this was more emotional than any other move from my past. I... Continue Reading →

Packing is a Pain #MemoryLane #ChangeIsGood

Change is good and moving makes a person do just that. Yes, I packed last week and this weekend. Got a lot accomplished but don’t quite give me the high five. After all, I live in 480 square feet. My art collection except the two largest pieces are off the walls. I must admit the... Continue Reading →

Pushing Grief Aside, Again #Grieving #LifeLesson

I am moving at the end of the month, so this weekend I have begun the packing process. First, you get the boxes and put them in the garage and just look at them. And then the only word that runs the rodeo in your head is “work”. {sigh} I really shouldn’t complain, after all... Continue Reading →

Yes, It Really Is About Your Mindset #GlassIsAlwaysFull

Lately, I have been experiencing others in my universe that are far too quick to jump to conclusions, seem to accept the worst or appear to be so negative that they assume the worst case scenario. That behavior makes me batshitcrazy. But pondering this has opened my mind and reminded me how I grew to... Continue Reading →

I Caught a Break & It’s a Good Thing #LifeIsGood

A wise woman told me, just yesterday as a matter of fact, that I did catch a break and it was a good thing. She is SO right! Catching a break is a good thing when the outcome is positive. Sure, you can default to the why me syndrome, and why not, it’s what most... Continue Reading →

Don’t Let Your Past Obscure Your Future #PresentTense

Don’t let your past obscure your present or your future. Easier said than done, right? I have had a few circumstances come my way the past few months, and the phrase I came up with was that some people that cross my path allow their past to get in the way of their present lives....
