I wrote that on a little inspiration card I painted.
I have it hanging in my cube at work.
I see it every day.
I know it to be true.
And still…I forget the simple truth of it.
I forget that I can choose to focus on things that make me happy, or I can focus on what is bothering [...]

Fire it up! Ready to Go!

I have never been much of a political sort. I don’t usually follow politics, it tends to make me sad, disheartened. The fact that our current President can’t speak in coherent sentences is painful and embarrassing.
But this election, I’ve changed. I read news stories all the time about what is happening, voting trends, all of [...]
Cliffs in Ireland
When you get to the edge of a cliff, you have to jump and trust you will find your wings.
My life has changed drastically in recent weeks, and while change can be sad, it is also for the better and making room for more positive growth.
Tim and I reached a very mutual [...]
My Story

I need to make myself accountable. I need to apologize to Elu, who is one of the favorite characters who has ever come to me. I know her whole story. I love her story. I have not been working on her story. I will never be a published writer in the way that I dream [...]

There is an old man, I think he is homeless, who sits at the end of the freeway ramp that is on my way to MyraWonderPup’s school. He never asks for money, but has a sign saying he needs food. When he is there, I will give him something that I was planning on having [...]

I found this on the lovely site Daisies @ pluckthepetal.com and had to steal it.
The challenge is this:
“5 things you want to be when you grow up. Big dreams that seem like folly, but in your heart of hearts are very real and dear to you. Things that maybe you have forgotten about [...]

From the Wonderful Dandelion Seeeds and the Try New Things Club, the start of a life list. Thank you for the inspiration to do this. I know and believe in the importance and power of putting things in writing, helps you really work towards those goals, helps the universe manifest energy around those things for [...]
To the girl in the mirror

You only see flaws and imperfections.
You can only compare yourself to others, thinking they are skinnier than you, more perfect than you, better than you.
But you are flat. One dimensional. You are trapped in your mirror.
You don’t see growth. You don’t see strength. You don’t see improvements. You don’t see happiness. You don’t [...]
Just sit

On Monday, my neck started to feel twingey, and I couldn’t turn my head very far. I didn’t go to the gym, but other than that, I didn’t do anything to help my neck.
By yesterday, it was worse. Bad enough that I asked T to drive me to work, because I couldn’t turn my head [...]
