This will break your heart.   * Is he not the cutest little thing?  How could anyone be so cruel?

Pretend that you were born lucky. Make a splash this weekend. Know that you are radiant. Take control of time. Live each moment with great abandon. Be grateful. Relax.

“When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them.”   I love this quote so much because I feel so many of us hold on so tightly to our habits as a part of our identity not realizing that … Continue reading →

Do you know what your principals actually are? Have you any idea how the world see’s you? How do you treat yourself on a daily basis?  Would you treat others the same way? How do you treat others?  Do you show … Continue reading →

Lighting a scented candle Listening to Coldplay A cup of tea Meditation Painting (I am the world’s worst painter but love it so much) Sitting in a library Baking something Reading “The Prophet” Getting lost in the memory of time … Continue reading →

There is beauty around you but fear, anger, selfishness, worry and anxiety often work as a blindfold. Remove the mask. Open your eyes to what sits right before you. You’re life matters, and the people in it matter. Enjoy it … Continue reading →

You have it inside of you. Turn it on. Show off your heart. Guide the way.

and that includes “making” you happy. We all have choices and those choices create our outlook and our life. Will you sit and wish or will you work? Will you fold or will you fight? Will you blow up or … Continue reading →

Is no longer who you are now. Even if you act, feel and think the same, time has passed and it will continue. We cannot go back and enjoy nor change what has already existed but we can learn lessons … Continue reading →

For it is a shield.  Behind it lies fear and deep hurt. What are you afraid of? What has hurt you?   Abandonment? Rejection? Engulfment?  The idea that you matter very little to what matters to you most?

There are some wonderful people in my life who like to label me “mushy” or tease me for writing “love letters” to them in birthday cards and emails but I have lost so many people in my life that I learned … Continue reading →

What do you see “over there”? How will it be if you ever have the chance to leave the place you’re in? Is life better than it was when you were “there” wishing you could be where you are right … Continue reading →

The more you converse, the more you might realize that the “you” you think you are is not you at all.

If assumption is the prison cell, communication is the key to freedom. How might things be different if you were to speak up, ask questions and work together to achieve a greater good instead of sitting there, stewing, and convincing … Continue reading →

Speak softly, but stand firm in your shoes. Know that you have the answers inside of you, even if you have not yet uncovered them.

We allowed everyone to just be who they are and based our decisions as to whether or not to share our time and life with them on who they actually are and not who we hope they could one day … Continue reading →

You’ll never appreciate what you have in front of you and you might as well let it go.

For many things unrelated to another person. Love, like money, does not guarantee happiness.

is your chance.

Doesn’t mean you should.   Bad choices have a keen ability to retaliate or at least show up at the most inopportune moments.

Depression is nourished by a lifetime of ungrieved and unforgiven hurts.

That dwelling on a problem is the least constructive way of dealing with it?  Studies have shown that relaxing your mind is the best way to come to a conclusion.   Ways to Relax the Mind: Go for a run. … Continue reading →

Determins how others will treat you.

When someone is doing something out of a need to “control” you or impact your emotions in a negative way, they’re not worth dealing with.   People who care about you care more about compassion and healing than they do controlling … Continue reading →

Feeling good inside makes you look great on the outside.  There is truth in the idea that your soul will show up on your face. Here are a few ways to feel better, starting right now! Eat Healthfully/Get Moving: A healthy … Continue reading →

Are the true foundations of hell. Agree or Disagree?

You know what you need to do. You know what is right for you. You know where you need to go. You know what is true.

Than it is to understand.

Why do you do the things you do? Why do you believe what you say you believe? Why do you want what you think you want? Why do you react in the ways you do? Why do you stand still … Continue reading →

Read about the ways here.

Elsie Poncher,70, is planning to move her late husband, who now rests in peace (upside down, no less) above our Marilyn.  Richard Poncher bought two crypt’s from the late Joe DiMaggio,  one for himself and the other for Elsie.  Well, the … Continue reading →

This is for you.

Is better than being “Lucky”. Good outcomes are based on choices and efforts and if you slide by after doing something sketchy, you have to spend the rest of your life trying to make sure no one finds out.  That’s not … Continue reading →

A friend asked in conversation this weekend, “There are three choices people can make- the positive choice, the negative choice and the constructive choice.  Guess which one is rarest?”  What kind of choices do you make?

This weekend, my dear friend, Laura, came in from New York and we spent our days brunching, lunching, meeting new people and sharing a nice walk down memory lane (while getting caught up-to-date).  There isn’t much brighter a gift than … Continue reading →

I have talked several times about my lack-of-love for excessive photo-shopping because I feel it places pressure on women (mainly) and men to be something other than human and to feel bad about every small blemish, line and wrinkle.  Well, … Continue reading →

  My little guy, Tony Che Montana is six today!  It’s amazing how such a little creature could pack in so much personality, love and passion .  He truly is one of the most important and wonderful parts of my life and … Continue reading →

What are you trying to get others to “buy” from you?

Sometimes saying nothing at all is more powerful than spilling every last thought and emotion.

Know your Value System.  Update it when necessary but never go against it. Cherish the gifts you bring to this world.   You have them but it is up to you to use them. Value Yourself.   Don’t fill your body, your … Continue reading →

Your beauty exists regardless of whether or not someone is able to recognize it.

They all have meaning, even if you don’t really mean them.  Once you put them out there, they live and exist in the minds and hearts of those around you. Use them wisely and use only the ones you truly mean.

Like most things can be a blessing or a curse. Depends on how you use and develop it.

Can be the hardest lesson life throws at us, can’t it?

Matters.

What we put out comes back to us, even if not at the moment we want it. Receiving starts with Giving. Just another way we control our destiny. Let’s try and remember that at the challenging moments when all we want … Continue reading →

My friend, Elyse, just sent this to me… There aren’t too many of us who haven’t gone a little loco when in love but this gal takes the cake.  I have to seriously question how much “Em” loved her man … Continue reading →

A couple of years ago, I took a cab home from the airport and spoke with the driver, a very kind man who was reading the Quran, the holy text of the Islamic world, when I got into his car.  We started … Continue reading →
