Taking it in Stride
This is the week for all us last-minute shoppers who are braving the stores and coming to grips with the “leftovers” and gift cards we will have to give to our loved ones. For the most part, I have been taking this holiday season in stride, despite being busy with life. It’s been a nice…
Progress, Not Perfection
Progress, not Perfection. I just heard this phrase after listening to a workshop on Zoom held by my local library on nutrition. Although I knew most of the information that was shared, I think it’s helpful to remind myself of the basics of nutrition and healthy eating. Since beginning this new journey, I find myself…
Road Blocks, Rocks and Rivers
They say when faced with many challenges, the ones that prevail come out stronger. I am not so sure how much stronger I can be. At this point, I should be Ms. Universe of Strength, if that’s a thing! Back in February, I mentioned about changes in my job situation and that I should embrace…
Keep Smiling and Shining
Happy February! We made it to another year and I’m so glad it is 2022! Honestly, I’m happy to be alive any day, but knowing a new year is ahead is enough to make me smile. Living the last couple years in a pandemic has been quite the ride, hasn’t it? We have learned how…
I am a Work in Progress (and it’s ok)
All my life I’ve struggled to manage my time effectively. It is a huge challenge for me being organized and planning things. I haven’t been able to find that sweet spot of where I can actually feel in control and have the confidence to know I am doing a good job. Instead, I get home…
Achieving Balance with an ADHD brain
It’s been awhile since I have written. In fact it has been awhile since I have done anything significant on a creative level. It’s been a very different summer than in 2020. For one, I had a lot more free time to enjoy and explore my creative outlets. I also slept less and woke practically…
Where in the world ART thou??
I consider myself a creative person. I love anything to do with the arts; drawing, painting, photography, writing, the theater and music. I honestly cannot think of anything I don’t like about the arts! I am not talented in music or theater, but I do appreciate it. Participating in various artistic and creative forms gets…
Memorial Day Memory 2020
The following post popped up in my Facebook memories. I suppose this was the beginning of my writings for my blog, which I originally published in August 2020. The sentiments I share still hold strong. I will add that as a society, if we are not intentional in our actions and words, we are doomed…
The Art of Doing Nothing
I have recently come across several posts and discussions regarding the art of doing nothing. Stillness. Quiet. I am not referring to meditation, although that is a good practice to center yourself. This aspect of doing nothing is just as it says… spending time not doing anything. Remember as kids we would go outside and…
Wellness Journey Update May 16
It’s been a few weeks since I updated everyone on my progress. Unfortunately, two people in my life recently died and I have been somewhat distracted to write. First, the woman I was helping/caring for passed away towards the end of April. It was a sad time for me as I’ve been with her for…
