is beautiful to another. Don’t allow a lack of chemistry to serve as proof of your being anything but lovely. You’re utterly gorgeous to someone else!

Do you spill your secrets all over the table cloth?

You don’t always need to reach out and ask for everyone’s opinion on what you choose to do.  You know what is best for you and you always maintain final Veto Power.

Most people aren’t willing to walk a block in someone elses shoes, let alone a mile. How do you try to understand where someone else is coming from?

There are some who give out of a desire to help, others who do so out of obligation and some people “give” in order to maintain power and control over another. There are those who give with a desire to … Continue reading →

Nothing else. Just wanted to remind everyone.

How your tone and comments might impact someone else. How much love you have in your life. The ways in which the people in your life are trying to connect with you. The subtle ways in which you reinforce negative … Continue reading →

What makes you feel alive, inspired and completely authentic? When is the last time you engaged in passionate behavior?

It never ceases to amaze me how much attention so many people give to bad behavior.  We can have 100 fantastic guests at an event, all showering us with love, affection and praise but one nasty comment can “ruin” our … Continue reading →

The more you move into your problems, the more you will see the smaller (and more manageable) details.  There is not much you cannot work through (you just may have to try working through it a new way).

“It’s really important to remember that not everyone is meant to be your friend.” – My friend Sonya

Better to make the most out of your time than to try and work against it.  It’s stronger and more cleaver than any of us so it always seems to win the arm wrestling match.

There isn’t much you can do when things don’t work out as you had planned or hoped they would except keep moving forward and see where life takes you. Don’t sit down and let life pass you bye just because … Continue reading →

Realism is not equal to cynicism.

There’s a time for work and a time for play and a time to just rest. What percentage of time do you spend doing each?

Is what you make of it.

Is that it doesn’t resolve the issue.

Today, while walking to the gym, I came across a very long game of hopscotch.  The young girl I once was jumped with glee.  “Do it!” she squealed from inside of my heart. In the middle of my very adult … Continue reading →

Elegy The Wrestler In Treatment Jim Gaffigan’s Comedy Special   AWESOME!

What really matters?

You are you and you don’t need to be somebody else. Just work on being the best you. You’re more than just ‘”enough”. You’re amazing.

Keep your chin up… Keep your eyes open and stare stright into the eyes of the world. Laugh and cry with enthusiasm…get it all out. Don’t be ashamed of being vulnerable. Don’t be ashamed of who you are. You’re only … Continue reading →

A life inside tall, cement walls or one where you lay on the grass, surrounded by fresh air and new chances? What happened before now is not set on repeat.

How much someone means to you, and when it does, don’t forget to share it!

As most of you know, I absolutely adore Elvis and Johnny Cash (and if you don’t, I do!)  This is one of my favorite JC songs…what do you think?

Your mind is a muscle and how you use it will determine your overall mental health.  Are you clogging it with toxic, negative thoughts or are you feeding it a balanced diet of wholesome, healthy outlooks?

The World Health Organization’s director-general is warning that  there is cause for concern after 1,000 people have been infected with “Swine Flu” in Mexico.  There have been 68 deaths as a result from infection, thus far. The flu  has made its way to … Continue reading →

Just makes every moment that much heavier.

There is good and bad in most every situation which means how we approach a relationship, social event, environment, job or new venture will likely have a huge impact on how much we enjoy it.  Instead of erroding the good by … Continue reading →

What does it mean to you? What is yours worth? What will you trade it for? What have you learned about it in recent years?

“Men are respectable only as they respect.”

Your self worth simply cannot be tied to a market controlled by another party if you plan to get through your days with any kind of strength and success.

There’s power in calm.

  We spend so much time trying to convince others to love, accept, appreciate and notice us that we forget to love, accept, appreciate and notice ourselves.  When was the last time you acknowledged all of the things about yourself … Continue reading →

  What are you afraid will happen if you let down the walls and let others walk in and take a good look at what’s happening in your space?

Feeling positive, calm, confident, composed and stable is 95% of the battle.

People forget that we’re all human and frail. We all have cracks in our heart… Moments when we’d like to be stronger. Let us remember to be gentle in our judgements and not kick others when they are down.

Barefoot To dream that you are barefoot represents your playfulness and relaxed, carefree attitude. See more in SmartGal’s Dream Dictionary here.

She did a great job with this video.  What do you think?

Have you heard it?

And like most bullies, standing up to it is the first step in making it go away.

We’re all born into circumstances (some better than others) but that doesn’t mean we cannot achieve a better life, a better way of thinking and have a better set of circumstances at the end than we did when we started … Continue reading →

List the 5  most influential people in your life and then list 5 reasons you admire them. Are they worthy of your adoration or are you projecting? How can you be more like those you like most?

You have a lot to offer this world and you have faced a lot of challenges head-on.  Why shouldn’t you show yourself a little appreciation now and then? Spoil yourself silly (and soon!)

There are very few of us who will get through a month (let alone life) without feeling as though we are running a race against time.  Between home demands, errands, work and the dozen other things that keep us “too … Continue reading →
