Hope is the thing…

During my morning meditation ( which is happening more frequently now), the focus was on hope. Yes, it was part guided meditation , but during the part where you sit quietly with only music in the background I received a message... The message said "Hope is the seed". Nuture it. Help it grow, cultivate it.…

Long lost friend

Happy belated birthday to my blog! I started writing here 2 years ago now ( 11/11/17), went strong with it the first year but have been very lackadaisical about it this year ( only 1 post), hopefully that's about to change... Why? I get easily distracted- I want to do it all. Sometimes all means…

The between time

Hi All- Guess what? It's March! and yes, this is my first blog post of 2019. Wow! Where have I been? This year is already flying by... The Plan In January, I made a plan to blog more this year than last year (1 time a week vs. 2-3 times a month). Maybe you could…

Once upon a November…

Today (11/11) is an exciting day! It's my blogger "birthday"! Yes, a year ago today, I went to the Shehive and took a class called "Launch my blog". I'd been wanting to write a blog for a while but kept putting it off. Sometimes, I need a class to give me a boost of confidence…

Fight for your right…

It may sound silly but one of the first campaign type messages I remember hearing was in elementary school when two boys from my school did a skit in the talent show to "Fight For Your Right (to party)" by the Beastie Boys. It was the 80's, that coupled with my major crush on Alex…

Best day ever!

A month ago when my niece was coming off the bus, my sister-in-law asked how her day was and she said, "It was the best day ever, I always have the best day ever." I love that attitude. It's the great mindset to start your day off thinking it's going to be the best day…
