I just Called
Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you. When a family member calls me to chat, that always makes me happy. People depend so much on texting and social media that hearing someone’s voice is special. No really! That small box in your hand is a verbal communication device. You should try…

Okay…
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? I would ban the word “okay” and while I’m at it I will ban the tone that is used with it. Instead of using that lazy word use the word that means the same thing, “Yes”. My teenagers use…

A Billboard
If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say? Be kind. Respect others and yourself. Make peace a priority. Imagine what life would look like if we all did those 3 things without exception or conditions. Light & Love, Lori

Appreciate Who You Love
So many humans take for granted the people who love them the most. They assume their family and friends will always be there doing what they always do. Then one day, you look up and those humans you took for granted are long gone. Don’t make that mistake. Show them you really are thankful for…

Unplug?
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? Unplug has two meanings for me. Unplug me from screens or unplug me from life. Unplug me from screens is a daily habit for me. I just hang up the virtual Do Not Disturb sign on my screen…

Choose Your Humans
There is nothing wrong with being selective about who you choose to be with or who you choose to have in your life. You can respectfully decline invitations to protect yourself. Don’t apologize for being choosy. Stay home and read instead.
