OH, THOSE SUCKER-PUNCHES

OH, THOSE SUCKER-PUNCHES

You know, the ones we all get, the ones we never see coming, out of anywhere and nowhere. It can be a betrayal, loss of a job, a car accident, loss of a loved one.  This time for me, it was a health situation.  It’s true, many people deal with ongoing health...
SELF-DOUBT IS A BULLY

SELF-DOUBT IS A BULLY

At some point in your life, you were bullied and so was I.  Some more than others, but no one escapes it fully.  No matter how much or how deep we were bullied, it created self-doubt and for many, self-hatred.  In fact it forms from a young age your...
WHAT MADE YOU HAPPY TODAY?

WHAT MADE YOU HAPPY TODAY?

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME

HANGING BY A THREAD OF KINDNESS

I write this reluctantly, because it may come off a little grim, especially this time of year.  But it’s specifically because this is such a beautiful time of year; the joy of giving, a time to celebrate, the parties, the lights, the festive attire, the food,...
DANCE WITH LIFE

DANCE WITH LIFE

I want to share with you my favorite quote. “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about dancing in the rain.” I first heard it from my daughter when she adopted it as her mantra. She was a dancer since she was three. I was brought to tears one day...
DREAMS AND HOPE

DREAMS AND HOPE

How often do you actually acknowledge or even think about your dreams or even admit that you have desires?  I mean really spending some heart energy to give them space, ponder and acknowledge their reality.  Rarely?  Once a month?  Once a week?  A couple times a week?...
ARE YOU “OK” THIS THANKSGIVING?

ARE YOU “OK” THIS THANKSGIVING?

I’m asking because most likely if someone were to ask you face to face, you would smile and say I’m good.   But if you ask yourself, what would the truth be?  And what does OK mean? Maybe you’re OK physically, life is going OK for the most part.  But...
