  • For a long time, I’ve been self-conscious, ashamed of my looks, the way I sound, and never liked pictures or videos of myself. From a young age, I’ve had low self-esteem, triggered not only by external sources but also by internal sources. Believing the lies others told me and told myself. Fast forward to adulthood.…

  • I’m pretty sure if you’ve been following this blog, I may have mentioned changing,  change,  or going through changes…but life is like a river, continuously flowing,  moving, changing the surface of the rocks and earth beneath and around them. Water flows, and finds a way. Stagnant water really does nothing. So, here we go again.…

  • I’m my own worst critic… my own worst bully… my own worst judge. And I’m quick to condemn and lock myself up and throw away the key. Sound familiar? I was pretty bad when it came to those things, but I’m getting WAY better. Have been for a while now. But we always judge ourselves…

  • So I made it… half a century. In the past, I wouldn’t really care. Still don’t, but it’s not like that. I do appreciate I’ve made it this far, and you know what? All the bad things and BS in my life, I survived.  Here, still alive and kicking. It’s all about mindset and priorities.…

I feel there has been progression in my life,  even though…

  • We all do. We all have the freedom to choose.  Even if life is not ideal, or the stack is against you, there’s choices and decisions that can be made. I know in my life, especially the last year, it has been challenging. But I had a choice. Do I wallow and perpetuate the negative,…

  • The holidays are upon us….but you know what? I’m not really feeling it. I find also, the older I get, the less, to be honest,  care. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bah-humbug.
