When someone tells you that something can’t be done, what’s your usual reaction? Resentment, followed by action? Determination, followed by a series of backup plans being developed so as to not fail? Defeat? Do you move on and conjure up a different goal or dream? I’m usually in the first or second camp. I can’t […]
I don’t know what it is, but my thoughts often turn to matters of the heart when I fly. Maybe it’s a byproduct of the adult beverage I need to consume before I board a plane, or maybe it’s just a function of being high above the planet. Whatever the driving force, it messes with […]
I sat down by the window, and the guy in the aisle seat made small talk with me. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I’m not a big talker on planes. We’d boarded in the first seating group, so before too long there were only middle seats left. Our middle spot was […]
I pulled a muscle in my back last night trying to get into a Spanx bodyslimmer. A few months ago, I ordered a bridesmaid dress after trying on the store sample. The sample fit, so I ordered accordingly. Turns out the sample was stretched out, therefore the dress I ordered was too tight. “No problem,” […]
I came across a video today in which Louise Hay, best-selling author and founder of Hay House, spoke about about her experiences, journey in life and publishing path. If you’re willing to change your thinking, you can change your life. She’d heard this before, but it finally resonated with her. “That little penny dropping was a big deal,” she […]
You know those days where everything is going non-stop and, before you know it, you look at the clock and you realize you’ve been in the office for 12.5 hours? All of the project-juggling seems to have accelerated time and you can’t remember the last time you drank something, ate something or had just a […]
I had a strange moment of pseudo-loneliness tonight. Today was Cinco de Mayo, something I completely forgot about until I was driving home from the store this evening. I went into work this afternoon, oblivious to the fact that tequila and margaritas were likely in abundance everywhere around me; my snooze-worthy Starbucks iced coffee kept […]
Outlets are a funny thing in that you have to put something in before you get anything out. Whether you’re plugging in a radio, vacuum, mixer, coffee maker — everything needs a source to draw from in order to work. On my way into the office a few days ago, I was thinking about how […]
Sometimes it only takes a simple song to remind us of all the good the world has to offer. It really is a wonderful world, but sometimes it’s so hard to see. More often than not, I feel discouraged when I look around. How can people do the things they do, say the things they […]
I started off my day at the dentist. My recent crown, the first-ever dental issue of any kind that I’ve endured, was being quirky. It was as though my previously cracked-by-an-almond tooth would’ve been preferable to the “fix,” which in reality hadn’t fixed anything. Scrambled eggs hurt it. Yogurt hurts it. Water hurts it. “I’m […]
