It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it. Eleanor Roosevelt I like that these days peace follows me. It hasn’t always been like that but I cleaned up my group of friends and realized the chaos was comingContinue reading “Peace is Good”

The Job For You
Those who continue to work at a job they hate for the money alone are more likely to be stressed, and very unhappy… They live for their vacations and weekends. Unfortunately, they are sadly missing out on the happiness of everyday life. Catherine Pulsifer I stand by this. Some people find joy in jobs thatContinue reading “The Job For You”
2023 and Me
With the new year coming up right around the corner, and the new moon tomorrow, I’ve been thinking about my 2023 goals. I want to set some reachable goals for 2023 and some challenging ones.

Let’s Talk About Babe
You’ve done enough. It’s okay to be tired. You can take a break. Shauna Niequist There’s a scene in the movie Babe where the farmer says to his pig, “That’ll do, pig, That’ll do.” (I added a youtube clip of it. If you’re ready to watch a silly scene click on it.)

A cup of tea is a cup of peace. Soshitsu Sen XV The first thing I did once I was home sick from work on Friday, was make myself a cup of tea. I combined that with my favorite YouTube channel and my favorite blanket and I was zonked for a good 24 hours. LaidContinue reading “The Flu, Tea, and Bliss”

Attentive?
At this point in the cycle, I’m focused on how attentive I am to my needs. It is hard for me. I’ve been working on this for a long time. I often neglect my own needs in order appease those around me. Honestly, most times I don’t even realize I’m neglecting myself. I am stillContinue reading “Attentive?”
Wait a Minute
What helps you prioritize? What helps you be more empathetic? What helps you live your life in a more fulfilling way? What stories do you tell yourself about your divine purpose? Your beliefs are important to me. I found myself objectifying a general group and had to get real honest with myself. That’s their beliefContinue reading “Wait a Minute”
Creative Fire
I love the way creatives look when they’re fully immersed in their work. Creative exploration is full of fun and games, at the same time it gets us out of bed in the middle of the night and in the morning. It’s love, the relationship we creatives have with our work. Just like marriage, creativeContinue reading “Creative Fire”
