End of the Year Catch-Up 2022
haven’t written half as much as I had planned to this year. To say so much got in the way would be a poor reason/excuse. Things happen to all of us. I’m not special or different or targeted. I got lazy. I procrastinated. Then I didn’t want to share what I am dealing with quite yet.
Waiting
Waiting. I feel like I spend so much of my life waiting to reach goals, to be fully happy, to be treated kindly and fairly and to be treated with the same respect and love that I treat everyone. My gut tells me that this will never happen. I’ve come to realize too that waiting […]
A Life You Love
Nothing that we plan or imagine for ourselves actually happens as we think it will look like.

Maybe you were exactly right for you before making changes…..Every day, every new dawn is a chance to start over; even if that means going back to past good habits.
Choosing to be Thankful
If you read an of my past posts, you know that my childhood and young adulthood weren’t necessarily filled with love and hope and encouragement. My past in fact took a lot of time and energy from my present because I let it. I let it because everything needed to be pocessed in order to let it be. Today, I appreciate each day with my chin up.
