You Can’t Know
How much time have I spent in my life wishing I just knew? Because if I knew what was coming, I wouldn’t be so afraid to make that next decision. The one I can not make because I’m afraid of what might happen. If I only knew. I have spent a lot of my life […]

Chosen and Unchosen Changes
I’ve noticed how I feel differently about my life as we pass the one year anniversary of the beginning of the pandemic of 2020. I feel a lot calmer. How did that happen? Because changes happened, both by choice and by time. I found myself saying no to a string of requests for my time […]

Change Nothing and Nothing Changes
What did you choose to do this morning. Your morning routing, is it set as something you just do without thinking? Do you like it or do you sometimes wish there was change. What about your evenings? Are you a person who stays up or sleeps? Do you eat crap at nighttime and wish you […]

Am trying to find my way back to me. Seems my fear of vulnerability and my Impostor Syndrome regularly derail me from my course settings and I find myself off-roading, distracted by the current tasks and scenery, and I soon forget what it was I was doing. I forget how much I’ve already accomplished. I […]

Letting Go of What No Longer Serves You
Recently my friend closed her shop down. It was the absolute right thing for her to do. The shop was taking more than it was giving back and it was time for them to break up. I can remember having to make that soul-crushing decision with my shop. And this made me feel sad for […]

Perspective Saves You From Feeling Sucky and Unlucky
During the first week of school, Eamon’s teacher told the class that Bullies don’t know, or care, that you are very important to someone in your life. You are just not too important to the bully, who in turn wishes those people in his/her life who supposedly love him/her would act like it. It’s your […]

Addiction Pimps Out Your Anxieties to Feed its Need
Fear, anxiety, and addiction work together in a hooker and pimp relationship. In order to quell the fear of death or abandonment, an addiction was created to cope. Not the truth necessarily but our primitive brains think it is. The addiction is then an alleviation of the fear of something that isn’t true. Often the […]
