  “To devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively”   What are you addicted to?

Who says you have to believe it, take it in or respond to it?

Be sassy, confident and unapologetically in control of your life. Have a mid-afternoon cocktail while listening to your favorite beats Blow a kiss to a stranger Live in the moment

Should never override the desire to be decent.   Agree or disagree?

Is like a child.  It wants what it wants. The gut is the parent. It wants what is best.

You cannot change anyone else.

Between “Understanding” and “loving” and “Naive”.

Go. Move On. Stop giving up. Stop giving in. One life, guys and dolls, and the rest of it starts right now. Make it count.

Ignore the strange video of the guy and enjoy Celebration!  Love it! Do you?

Blur the path to real happiness. Reality may not be as pretty but if you can see clearly, you can get to where you want to go a whole lot faster.

There has to be a way, to get what you want, without stepping away from what is true, for you. And without, stepping on someone else.

Is a painful, isolating waste-of-time. Worry about your own life and make it the best you can make it.  Focusing on what someone else has and comparing it with what you think you don’t isn’t going to bring you closer … Continue reading →

Being content just sitting on your couch is the hardest thing.

Between bad people and bad choices.

For doing what is right. For defending your dignity. For bettering yourself. For the success you have earned. For refusing to belittle yourself. For refusing to belittle someone else. For standing up to a bully. For walking away from something … Continue reading →

Are you constantly striving for the approval of others? Do you approve of yourself? Do you say “yes” to others but “no” to yourself? Do you feel accepted by the people in your life? The person in the mirror? How often … Continue reading →

“When I was a little girl, no one ever told me I was pretty.  All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.”

Paella Valenciana with toasted French bread Yum!

A new discovery of fossels in lake deposits has scientists questioning how and why animals evolved.

True character is witnessed only by those with it.  When we do the honorable things we say we will do when no one is there to vouch for us is when we prove that our value system is intact.

After 27, any friendship that would be classified as “It’s Complicated” should be worked out immediately or deleted from your network of friends.  Drama is kid stuff.

But successful people dwell on solutions.

Just because they have it doesn’t mean they somehow took it from you (or took your chance at having your own version for yourself).

Some aspects of life will be sweet, others sour, and to enjoy the best parts, you’ll have to work around the pits.

And give it to someone else. Judgement. Anger. Criticism. Viciousness. Rejection. Deception. Drama.   These things don’t feel good to anyone.  What if we all tried to be a little more understanding, a little kinder?
