Wisdom in everyday life

pain and loss

  • mistakes, I’ve made a few

    Here’s my declaration. Here is my truth. This is my line in the sand. I have made a mistake. One that is nearly 12 years old now. A continuous mistake that I have been trying to fix, inside myself mostly. It has been a costly mistake, financially yes, but far worse, emotionally. I gave up my Read more

  • Here’s some perspective for you

    I woke up in pain, nope, my body woke me up because it was experiencing horrifying pain. There was an ice pick in my head trying to kill me, or at least that is the image these headaches give me. I have a migraine condition that makes my body a prison cell one I can’t Read more

  • Anchor of Hope

    I stopped writing some time ago, why bother? What difference does it make? My life was derailed years ago and I have been swimming like hell to get back to some kind of shore. And I see a lot of people out here swimming the waters of “OH MY GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME” with Read more

  • We are starting again

    There are many reasons to write a blog, one being so you can be seen and adored by fans for your wit and so-called wisdom. This is not that kind of blog, as a matter of fact, this will be the kind of blog that you will either desire to read or you will burn Read more

  • Rough patch

    Nothing like a rough patch to send you off your rocker and straight to the loony bin. Nothing like having your world derailed by somebody elses actions. And there is nothing like the feeling of sliding and falling, as you realize the rough patch you were afraid of is already underneath you and that feeling Read more

  • messages for the push

    There are times in life when the cheer leading squad of your world gets busy or is uplifting someone else, you can beg and plead with your God or the universe for a kind word and the silence will be deafening! I mean the screaming sound of nothing can take your breath away. It is Read more

  • What’s the point!

    I’m not sure what the point is anymore. I’ve been writing and writing and just like teaching if no one is getting it, why continue? I see pain, I have gone through pain, the entire country is going through pain and yet everyone seems stuck in their own limited mind-set. It doesn’t matter what you Read more

  • Are we wrong?

    It’s in the searching for answers that we become so desperate that we accept what is almost right or we overlook what we know to be wrong in a “it’s going to be ok”, kind of way. We will turn off our internal truth marker just to “make things work”. Such a waste of our Read more

  • Does it take strength to be strong?

      And does it make you strong to have strength? There is a yoga sequence we do called t-sequence, you stand feet together, arms out, shoulder height elbows straight, like a T. We hold this in class anywhere from 3 minutes( I wish) to however long teacher decides we need to have our arms out Read more

  • pressing on

    Each day comes with its difficulties and we have the choice to press on. There was a time when pressing on wasn’t a statement but a battle cry, Nothing can hold me back, I am pressing on no matter what! I get tired of the ever popular “stay positive” phrase. At times there seems very Read more
