I Choose To Believe

I like that Louise Hay makes it so easy to change our mindsets. You’ve always had a choice in how you believed. Do you question that? Because that’s our first falsehood to debunk if you do. The power is yours. Your mind and thoughts are yours alone. Sure, people, experiences and outside factors can influence,Continue reading “I Choose To Believe”

Refresh Your Mindset

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”

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”

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”

Heaven and Hell

I find that humor helps in healing. Even a little dash of gallows humor works for me when things are looking bad. I can’t help myself and luckily for me, my family understands how I function when the chips are down. I try to find the best in the situation and a little giggle oftenContinue reading “Heaven and Hell”

Don’t Be Afraid To Question

The greatest gift is not being afraid to question. Ruby Dee I have no idea who Ruby Dee is, but I really like her quote so I had to share it with you. I think it’s important to question when we don’t feel something is quite right. I think it’s good to question when youContinue reading “Don’t Be Afraid To Question”
