Talk About Having It Easy…

I just can’t get drummed up for the word “Resolutions.” It just sounds so strict. It’s probably just me. I can take it! I’d like to share some ideas about setting goals, especially for the new year. They seem to be helping me and I though they could help you, too. Though I haven’t done [...]

And therein lies my problem- I have only recently come to understand those lessons in my life. That I still find myself gearing up for the other person to want to whollop me with something and it’s only making me look like a turtle (My shoulders up to my hairline.) It takes away my ability to acknowledge the growth that is inherent in all people.

I’m forgetting how much I’ve grown from the wrenching experience, never mind the other person. Whatever their mindset and level, I’ve learned a lot from the experience- and I’m out to learn more by way of our next encounter.

I’m going to let you in on something I don’t tend to tell too many people- I don’t get the military. Yesterday was Veterans day and I just didn’t understand all the ads about how our soldiers “Keep America Free.” I know they do a lot, don’t get me wrong. But just something in the [...]

I’m very extra-centered, believe it or not. I think highly of other people and I don’t really do so for myself and I don’t really listen to myself so much. And, this past weekend, I’ve come to a point where I’m finding I need to forgive myself… And I’m having trouble with it. You see, [...]

Trying to think of an appropriate title for this post, I started seeing the scene in “Blues Brothers” where Aretha Franklin was singing to her partner about leaving their restaurant business.  I felt it was pretty relevant to the topic.  I’ve recently been studying the life and works of Louise L. Hay, founder of what [...]

I know it’s been a while and a lot has gone down. After a brief return of an old Flame, Adam and I are back together. I’m sorry to those out there who are on the RSS feed that got about a half dozen messages about a post. I’m a little out of practice on [...]

I have struggled, up until this moment, to keep up with the many changes in my life for the past few years. I will admit that I haven’t been the best at managing these changes- but I learn, grow and get stronger with every ounce of change and challenge in my life.

I’m learning how to make more decisions for my highest good. I am! I’m learning that I don’t need to please anyone else and I’m learning to trust that the one’s whom I think that I am trying to please by making decisions that may adversely affect me in some way will be equally benefited [...]

Reading Lynn Grabhorn’s “Excuse me, Your Life is Waiting,” to get a better handle on her 30-Day Program, a passage reminds me of my new Friend on BTR, Tara. She had come on the show with a concern as to the prospect of leaving behind the place and people that have helped her through some [...]

I grew up in Alcoholics Anonymous, the daughter of one of the rare people for whom the concept and promise of AA had worked (more or less.)   I’ve learned a lot from this person, and from the program.  The main part being that “The Program don’t work unless you Work the Program.” I’m sure Lynn Grabhorn, author [...]

The chorus to “Miracles” by Fleetwood Mac- one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists! I love this song, but It’s generally not… Me! I generally do believe in miracles. I believe in a lot of nice things. But Sometimes, even I need to be reminded that miracles can happen. I need [...]

I’m not a big fan of horses. My toes, in particular, do not like horses. But I know that there are a lot of people who do like horses, even though they get thrown off these beasts for no apparent reason. And the trick, as goes the cliche, is to get back on the horse! [...]

YOU can be happy! How do you understand the term “Positive thinking?” To many of us, it is basically synonymous with affirmations- notions of how one would like things to be.  Affirmations are definitely useful and are certainly positive thoughts- and a path to positive thinking. But a major pitfall to applying Affirmations, as well [...]

Last week, I did do a lot of rambling.  But I felt like I wasn’t the only one going along that verbal stream.  I’m not sure it was anything like Esther and Abraham… I wouldn’t care to put myself in their realm, they are truly wondrous.  It did, however, help me understand that some things [...]
