Forgiving the Stuck

ByShalagh Hogan July 18, 2018May 2, 2024

Ah the stuck. It smells of mildew and shame. It’s the place that you dread being when things need to happen. It’s the place you don’t want to admit to being, especially when everybody knows you just need to do “this” and “that” and it will all be done. Over it. Moving on. But here…

My Self Talk is Changing and this is How

ByShalagh Hogan September 14, 2015May 31, 2022

If you’ve read my blog for even a short time, you know that I have had low self-esteem all of my life. And I am an avid believer in self-discovery especially if it means improving this esteem. Earlier this year, I was thrilled to discover that there was a perfect way to edit my downer…
