Adventure is a Requirement
Life is hard. It will knock you down and spit in your face. You must be ready for anything. How do you make that happen? Make a conscience decision to put adventure in your life. Find challenges that stretch your mind. Bring the sense of wonder back to your day to day routine. Take control…

Where You Are is Just Fine
There will be bad days and that is okay. Allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling. I tell my family all the time, everyone is entitled to their feelings. Yes even the bad ones. Anger, gulit, sadness, frustration are all valid. What you are not allowed to do is set up camp and stay…

Be Different
It is better to be different than to be like everyone else. Seems to me the new trend is to be differently the same. All over social media people suffer the same aliments and post about it repeatedly. When did having anxiety become a social norm? Wait….Before you go all crazy, look, I know that…

A Word to Use
My only regret for this past year is not telling more people “No”. There is nothing wrong with telling people No. If you are tired, if you just don’t want to or if the thing they ask of you makes you feel even just a little bit off course, say no. Compromising to be liked…

Where Are You Headed?
There is only one way to live your life and that is your way. No one can tell you what to feel, what to think or what to believe. You have to decide that for yourself. No one can motivate you or teach you initiative. You have to motivate yourself to be better, to be…

You Do Not Have to Suffer
Life is a struggle. Will you have pain? Yes, that is true. However, there is so much more to life. We, humans, share joy as well as pain. There are happiness and sadness that happens. We learn from all of it. I saw a quote that made me shake my head and ask, “What the…

Kids These Days
Every generation has its version of this complaint. For my grandparents, it was, “Kids these days don’t know what love is” when my parents were part of the free love hippie sixties. For my mom and dad, it was, “Fashion? We had to wear homemade clothes. Music? We had to listen to one radio station.…

I’m Not Asking A Lot
Is expecting people to be nice to each other too much to ask? Well, apparently it is too much. I just want people to treat others around them with respect. I am not asking that everyone love each other. Hell, you don’t even have to like each other. Can you at least be nice? It…

What does surviving mean to you?
Is it possible for a person to save another who didn’t know they needed saving? We look at all the social media that screams at us with lies about our self-worth. Not all the messages we get are negative, some are positive. Most of the positive ones are inflated. We see articles, inspirational quotes that…
