Know Who You Are By Learning Who You're Not
I have a good friend who recently shared some insecurity around her driving abilities. Last week, while on our way to a movie, she remarked that her father, among others, have always criticized her driving, and although I wouldn’t label her a bad driver, apparently that’s what she considers herself to be.
Since first mentioning it [...]

I felt paralyzed yesterday. I didn’t know what was causing it, but I knew that sitting at the computer pretending I was accomplishing anything besides lurking on Facebook was ridiculous. Fortunately, I’ve learned that the quickest way to transcend any state is to be in it. With my ego screaming, “You have so much to [...]

Yahoo posted an article this week on the 5 Rules of Getting Over a Breakup. One of tips said:
Remember how things, like stupid songs and movies and that little spot in the park that you two went to on your first date used to be “yours”? Well, they’re not anymore. Don’t make a connection to [...]

My friend Joyce experienced a bout of sciatica last week. The day I found out, I asked her what she needed and rearranged my day so I could take some supplies and medicine to her. I called the next morning to see how she was feeling and realized that lately, when I call it’s to [...]

Algae has been an issue this summer [...]

Peacefully unconscious in a blissful sleep, I was yanked violently awake by the sound of helicopters circling overhead. It seemed as if they would descend through the roof at any moment – engines gunning, blades whirling. Exhausted, I tried to ignore them but found it impossible. It was 3:15 am by the time I heard [...]

For months now, I have received comments on this blog that I have chosen not to post. Many might perceive them as mean and hateful, but each one of them has provided the opportunity to surrender another layer of lies I’d told myself about who I was.

I have need of everything . . .
I have need of the joy and the sadness
The laughter and the tears
The chaos and the peace.
I have need of the darkness and the light,

The excitement and the disappointment,
The elation and [...]

When I was 23, my father helped me buy my first car. I was so excited about my new job as an advertising assistant for an international HR company. Unfortunately, it was located 20 miles from my apartment and the bus was an hour and a half each way. Doing 60 on the highway with the music blaring was much [...]

I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I posted. Sometimes life re-sorts our priorities and the best any of us can do is make decisions about what’s important in that moment and then let it go. With family in town, family in the hospital, business growing, friends I want to spend time with, [...]
