Relationships - sometimes they are great and sometimes they are not so great. Are you nodding your head up and down with me? For example, they can fill us with happiness, joy, pleasure, love, excitement or sadness, grief, stress, fear, and anger - to name just a few...
“The purpose of my life is to let things go.” This has been my mantra lately. It was something that Michael Singer, author of the Untethered Soul discussed in a video I recently watched. This mantra has stuck with me. “The purpose of my life is to let things go.” I...
I was looking at past journal entries at a time when I was struggling and felt stuck in life. I noticed how at the beginning of many of those entries I would write about how I may be hiding from my emotions - from how I was really feeling, which at the time was sad,...

I’m in the middle of writing a book. It is something I’ve started and stopped many times. I feel like it's time to complete it. As I was writing, it struck me how far I have come regarding my fertility journey. If you don’t know, I don’t have children. I wanted to...

What is your relationship to sugar? My relationship is good, for the most part - now, but in the past, it was more of a love-hate thing. I loved eating sugar, especially chewy candy - Swedish fish, Mike & Ikes, Twizzlers, and cinnamon bears. Then I would hate...
After over 2 years - they finally talked to me! This is a person I spoke about in a previous post “What if they won’t talk to you?” It just so happened that I was visiting the state where this person lives. It's been a while since I've tried to reach out, so I debated...
