PEOPLE DOING GOOD THINGS

I have been so super busy getting my post divorce life in order that I had to hit PAUSE for just a short time on my #BeREAL series.  But I have some great voices left to share soon. In the meantime though… I want to share a few good things to offset the negativity that…

DRAGONFLIES AND CHOPSTICKS

Many years ago I bought my 7 year old daughter an  Oragami kit.  After dinner one night she decided to open it.  She made me a cup and a paper airplane.  I remember thinking to myself how fun it looked and asked her to hand me the Oragami book so I could find something amazing to make.…

BUT WHAT IF….

A friend asked me if I had ever tried to meditate. I told him I had tried but my mind sounds like a crazy drunken concert crowd. Always loud. Always rowdy. He sent me some links to try and I tried. I fell asleep with a quiet mind. It was strange. This morning I woke up…

MY SOMEHOW IMPORTANT SELF-DIALOG

I started writing a Facebook post this morning that turned into a long dialog with myself. I decided to leave it there and finish it here. Why? Because it feels important somehow. Maybe not important in a way that will change or shape lives. But it feels like I might want to visit these thoughts…

Seems I have a lot on my mind today.  I hope you don’t mind me working through my own issues with you.  Maybe you can add your two cents.  Help me… help myself. What does it mean to take responsibility? For someone who gets it wrong quite often for one reason or another I’ve had…

For every 10 people who find me unattractive another 10 will find me average and yet another 10 will find me beautiful.  I think the trick is to practice selective listening.…

THE MONSTER IN THE BATHROOM

Pulls out my two cents to share… I want to teach my daughter to take care of herself. I don’t want her to have the false sense of security that some laws tend to create. Trust me… being a victim of date rape I want to teach my daughter how to stay safe. Don’t go…

Your voice matters so make it a beautifully positive one! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO FOLLOW AS WELL AS COMMENT ON MY BLOG.  I HAVE NEVER CENSORED ANYONE AND I HAVE HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, UPLIFTING AND SUPPORTIVE COMMENTS HERE. THANK YOU FROM ME TO YOU

FINDING THE ONE

I pretend not to notice or care.  That’s just life.  It happens.  I see you reading, messaging, answering, flirting, complimenting, spending time elsewhere and giving all your attention away.  I sit in the corner picking at my food wondering if you would notice if I stood to leave.  I watch as your eyes find pleasure…
