Where has respect gone? It seems to be a distant concept–something people did “back in the day”. Families don’t seem to have respect among themselves and the way I hear children talk to their parents, parents don’t seem to teach it either. What’s happened? Children and young people do not seem to respect each other […]

Before You Do Anything…
Did you mother ever say, “Talk less, listen more” or “You can’t just speak anything that comes into your head…THINK first!” Mine did. As younger people, we have all made incorrect assumptions, made hurtful judgments, hurt others and we’ve all spoken before thinking. Before you assume, learn the facts. Before you judge, understand why. Before […]
I Am Blessed
I woke up really, really tired this morning. Okay, I guess it is bad to start out a blog post that way, but it’s true. I guess we all have those mornings. Those mornings where we just want to pull the covers back over us, take a deep breath, snuggle in and sleep…and sleep some […]
I Want To Live A Positive, Happy Life
I don’t think it’s just me. Is it? Is it just me that feels this way? I’ve reached the point in my life where I have very little tolerance for anything but peace. You may have too. If you’re reading this and you’re in your 20’s or 30’s, you may not be there yet. I […]

One Day At A Time…This Is Enough
I hear it all the time, “Live in the present.” “Make the most of this moment.” “Let go of the past.” “You only have right now.” I’m sure you hear the same quotes or very similar quotes too. But how many of us actually do it? How many of us live in this very moment? […]
Ignore Those Who Criticize Your Life
Stop wasting time. Time is too, too precious to waste. Don’t do it. Your peace of mind and your contentment are too important. Don’t let your heart and soul be affected by those who criticize your life. It just isn’t worth it. Constructive criticism is one thing, but here, I am talking about people who […]
Here’s A Hug From Me To You
Hugs Matter! Research shows that hugging is effective at healing or lessening sickness, loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress. And in our stressful world, we could use a lot of hugs to make our homes, our schools, our places of worship and our workplaces less stressful. Don’t you agree? As human beings, we tend to “feel” […]
No Matter What Happens, DON’T QUIT!
No matter what happens, DON’T QUIT! Even when things are falling apart, have fallen apart, when life seems hopeless, don’t you quit. You can’t. You have to keep going. You have to keep believing that things are going to get better. It’s always when you think you can’t go any further that your miracle occurs. […]
