Is it just me or has there been an excessive amount of what if posts on social media lately? From what ifs to who to how questions and quite frankly, I am done with this! I really don’t care to speculate, but I do care about the present. I care about things that matter. 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 “workâ€. {sigh} I really shouldn’t complain, after all... Continue Reading →
Vote November 6th #GOTV #Vote2018

Become A Voter For Life #VoteEarly #ReliableVoter
I voted today! I rarely vote early, but I am planning on taking the day after the election off from work to track contested races, watch the news and pretty much have a teeth grinding type of day. Why? Because I care. Last week, I hosted a house gathering for a candidate in my district... Continue Reading →
Let’s Not Say Something We May Regret – #ThinkFirstSpeakSecond
I am mentally as well as physically exhausted from last week. Reading about the stories of sexual assault survivors, all told with the heartfelt pain of trauma, has been tormenting. It is with shock not wonder that I write this now and ask, how can America turn it back to this problem? Set aside the... Continue Reading →
It Really Is All About Your Attitude #AttitudeDancing
I am going to go out on that limb I never wanted to climb on that avocado tree in my aunt and uncle’s front yard in Pico Rivera in Southern California. I was always so envious of the boys that would just keep climbing higher. What held me back? But just last night I realized... 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 →
