“That was 7 years ago, what does that have to do with now?” I have asked this same question numerous times. Sometimes the number of years changes. Sometimes who I am directing the question to changes. The point is always that is it about now, not back then. We have all had moments of thinking…
Metamorphosis
“Are you excited?” I have been asked this question quite often lately. Why? Because, I am and have been going through some major changes in my life. Most that know me know that I have been a small business owner for a long time. I am in a profession that I enjoy with every cell…
Have a Seat
I’ve heard the saying “What does he/she bring to the table?” It’s something to think about, I guess. In whatever manner you have someone enter your life, what do they bring to your table? Do they bring financial security? Do they bring peace? Love? Laughter? Kindness? Knowledge? Do they actually add something of value or…
I Believe in You
“Thank you for believing in me.” I’ve been told this by a couple of friends. No thanks were needed. I just wished they had believed in themselves. I understand that being in the middle of chaos that it can be difficult to maneuver through the corn maze. Sometimes, we all need someone to either help…
As Time Goes By
I can guarantee that I’m not alone is saying that 2020 was a year of unexpected events. Pandemic aside, it was my year of changes.

Truth be Told
I respect someone who is completely honest and believes in full disclosure. If they lay all their cards out on the table and say “this is me, this is what I’ve done”, they get props from me. It is at that moment that they allow me to make an informed decision on whether anything they…
Are You for Real?
I recently heard someone say “No one will give as much as you do.” Is that expected? If you give just to receive, you aren’t sincerely giving. And, if you are looking for someone that matches your level of “givingness”, there lies the problem. Don’t look for anyone. Just do you, be you, for you….
Where There is Smoke…
PTSD can happen to anyone. You don’t have to have fought in an actual war. You had your own type of war. You could have dealt with something traumatic. Whatever is traumatic to you may seem small to someone else, but they were not the ones left with the wounds that take a lifetime to…
What About Your Friends
“What about your friends, will they stand their ground? Will they let you down, again?” – TLC I have said it before and I will say it again, until I’m blue in the face. I have some of the most wonderful friends that a woman could hope for. Our friendships go back over 30 years….
