I like easy. I’m not one who likes things to be complicated because I find it confusing and I prefer plain and simple. So there are no fussy difficulties here when it comes to September 2022’s restart. I’m restarting with you as well, so don’t think that I’m just being bossy. Because I’m not! BigContinue reading “Refresh Your Mindset”

A Labor of Love
This month I’m concentrating on using Louise Hay’s affirmations instead of random quotes for September Journaling. You can do with each post what you will, but do take a moment to read aloud and sit with the subject. If you feel drawn to writing about it, make sure you do it because that’s your innerContinue reading “A Labor of Love”
Fresh Start September
As a retired school teacher, I still get very excited for September, even after so many years of not having an official classroom. You can keep New Year’s Eve and just give me the newness, the fresh start that is September! I find it invigorating, don’t you? Because September brings a new school year fullContinue reading “Fresh Start September”
We All Just Want To Be Loved
As I get older, I find myself occasionally wishing for my Mom’s embrace. I was blessed that my Mom was very free with sharing her incredible hugging self and with her love for her children. She had a lot of love for everyone actually and I strive to follow in her footsteps. In fact, whenContinue reading “We All Just Want To Be Loved”
Lesson Learned
I’ve learned that even if you react, it won’t change a thing. It won’t make people hear you, it won’t magically change their minds. Sometimes it’s better to let things be, let people go, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from. I’ve learned that lifeContinue reading “Lesson Learned”

The hardest fact of all is that, no matter what the outcome, it is unlikely you can ever again be the person you have been until now.” I don’t know who said the above quote, so if you know, please feel free to tell me in theContinue reading “New Normal”
Jersey Girl
I couldn’t go through the summer without telling you I’m a Jersey Girl at heart. What does that mean? It means that I go to the beach, not the shore. It means that my happy place is toes in the sand, sun on my face and the smell of the ocean in my hair. ItContinue reading “Jersey Girl”
Middle School Parenting Tip
Here’s a story I found that I thought was really helpful as the school year is beginning in some places. Let me know what you think! My daughter starts middle school tomorrow. We’ve decorated her locker, bought new uniforms, even surprised her with a new backpack. But tonight, just before bed, we did another pre-schoolContinue reading “Middle School Parenting Tip”
Don’t Worry
It’s Sunday so I thought it was a good day to talk about prayer. Even if you’re not religious, you understand the quote above. To me, it makes complete sense. In fact, it was as if a lightbulb went off in my head that hadn’t ignited before now. What you pay attention to increases; thereforeContinue reading “Don’t Worry”
