Coming into the new year is always unintentionally comical in a sense... People start the new year with comments like "I hope this year is better than last" and meanwhile they do nothing to put that into play! Nothing is going to be better if you don't change the things you do, your priorities, make an effort, do what it takes... Things don't just improve... IF you want … [Read more...] about Going into 2023

Tired
tired: depleted in strength, energy, or freshness That pretty much says it all. Some days just hit in a way that drain every ounce of being from us, yet we keep on going... There is no other option... It IS ok to be tired. “I don’t stop when I’m tired, I only stop when I’m done.” – Marilyn Monroe “No matter how tired you feel, no matter how much you want to quit, no matter … [Read more...] about Tired
Dreams Don’t Become Reality Through Magic
“Let today be the day you love yourself enough to no longer just dream of a better life; let it be the day you act upon it.” You can't achieve your dreams by wishing and/or waiting for them to come true... Get up, get active, be determined and focused, get sweaty, do the work, put in the effort and make your dream become a reality... That's the only way... You can't wish it to … [Read more...] about Dreams Don’t Become Reality Through Magic

No Picking My Brain
Ten yrs ago I posted about picking my brain and here's an updated version because more and more are trying and enough is enough! IF you trust someone enough to constantly call or text asking them for their advice/guidance then hire them instead of the inept person you hired who will make money off of you and literally not take care of you or your needs/concerns. You are … [Read more...] about No Picking My Brain
Post-54th Bday Thoughts
I'm 54 now! And, all I can say is I'm still making mistakes (hopefully learning from them though because seriously, enough is enough). Age truly is just a number. "Life isn't about your age.

Catherine Pulsifer I am … [Read more...] about Post-54th Bday Thoughts
Making Same Mistakes
Most of us have made the same mistake at least twice... In my case, while I can laugh at this image sadly it's true in some situations But, at least I can laugh about it, call myself out on it and now finally learn and not make it again! If you find yourself making the same mistake more than twice, you may want to take a deep look into your reasoning behind it and do something … [Read more...] about Making Same Mistakes
Christmas Thoughts
Some quick thoughts as most are preparing for Christmas and spending the next few days in a holiday frenzy of last minute shopping, grocery shopping, traveling and basically stressing over the holidays... Every year I see all kinds of pleas for assistance, donations, help, etc. whether it be for kids, elderly, animals, etc. and yet what happens to these same people/animals the … [Read more...] about Christmas Thoughts
Everyone has a story
Most people have a story that nobody knows about. People are quick to judge a person based on what they see standing in front of them and don't think about the story behind the person. They neglect to realize that most do not know everything about a person that led them to where they are, how they are, etc. What you see and know of a person is what that person allows … [Read more...] about Everyone has a story
What is Success
A man is a success if he gets up in the morning & goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do- Bob Dylan Everyone defines success differently... Some base it solely on their income... Others base it on health, experiences, materialistic items, social status, etc. In reality, there is no one right or wrong definition. It's as personal and individual as you … [Read more...] about What is Success
