Not Everything Needs To Be Figured 0ut

Thinking is overrated. If you know me well, you might be laughing. I think all the time. I’m curious. I’m a planner. I think about how things will happen, what needs to be said, how to put my classes together. I think about how the universe works. But I don’t want to be stuck in […]

Choose Between Worry Or Imagination

Sometimes I take my computer into our living room to write in our comfy chairs that look out onto our front lawn. The change of scenery sometimes helps my imagination kick in, or my resistance to let go, as I attempt to finish a chapter in a book or write the next blog. Sometimes I […]

The Law Of Receiving

What if there was a delivery to your home every morning of everything you have ever desired. Every morning the doorbell rang, the delivery was made, but you never answered the door. Or, you opened it by a little sliver, stuck your hand out, and grabbed the closest item and shut the door again. Inside […]

Do You Choose To Change

Writing in coffee shops is an interesting experience. Even though I am not there to listen in on conversations, in fact, I try to block them out, sometimes it can’t be helped. One Friday morning, I didn’t arrive early enough to get my usual by-myself-seat, so I ended up on the back bench waiting for […]

Are You Stuck In A Story

Are you stuck in a story? Well, who isn’t? Sometimes we don’t care. If the story works well enough, let it be. But what happens when the story isn’t working for us anymore? Then we have a choice. Rewrite the story completely, or do just enough to be more comfortable. Sometimes we want to rewrite […]

Tripping Over Mistakes

As we make no and yes lists, there is something that usually makes it onto the wrong list. On our no list, we may say, no to making mistakes. This is a mistake. Ha. See what I did there? Instead, we should put this on our yes list, yes to being okay with making mistakes. […]

Who Made This Into A Race?

Nine months ago I bought a reclining bike off the Let Go app and started in on cycling thirty minutes a day. I was inspired by my daughter who has been doing this for years. If she could do it, so could I. I’ve enjoyed it. It gives me the perfect excuse to read a […]

Be Willing To Say No Before Yes

Sometimes to figure out what we want to say yes to, we have to first learn to say no. We can all look back on our lives and remember times when we wish we would’ve made different choices. When perhaps we should have said no, instead of yes, or yes instead of no. After a […]

Unlocking The Jail Of Our Beliefs

Throughout the years I have talked about the jail we put ourselves in because of our beliefs and perceptions. So when someone ticks me off because of what they are doing or saying—and lord only knows we have enough of that going on—and my righteous anger and upset wants to kick in and judge what […]

Good News! They are not in charge ….

Have you ever had that moment when something you’ve known, or seen, your entire life shifts in your thinking and becomes an ah-ha moment? I had one of those moments the other day. Actually, it came on the heels of a few days when I kept noticing things differently. Maybe it was because I am […]
