I haven’t written since spring and the only reason is life. I allowed life to keep me busy and distracted from reality. Those are excuses for not being accountable to plans, goals, intentions and time. Time doesn’t stand still. Things don’t stay the same. Don’t get so lost in the things that keep you from […]
Twenty-six days into the new year and I’m feeling optimistic. My optimism isn’t focused on one specific thing, but lots of little things.
It is said that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I understand the phrase and I agree.
I also realize that before you can make the lemonade, you need to peel away the bitter outside layer. After that layer is removed, the extraction of good things to come begins. This is the time for me personally to begin exactly that.
I haven’t updated you since mid-September, basically because good news is not on my side just yet.

I recently had a situation that has no need for details to tell you what it did for me. In the past, I’d have been angry still and thinking about what that person did to me versus what the situation did for me. I’ve always been a glass half-full kind of gal.
