Wisdom in everyday life

self responsibility

  • Forgiveness

    I’ve always had a hard time with forgiveness not that forgiveness is hard it just seemed like a get out of jail card. “That’s ok I forgive you”, over and over and nobody learns and you become a doormat of “that’s ok I forgive you”. The course of miracles assigns forgiveness as the only act… Read more

  • What expectations

    One of the hardest things to admit is the gigantic amount of energy that is expended holding onto expectations. It’s a difficult day of adulting when you learn that your expectations for life may have been a dream and one found only in your head. Similar to the scene in “Little Miss Sunshine” when big brother… Read more

  • Moody Monday

    It’s a grey moody Monday here in my neck of the world. Hard to be motivated when the sun decided to take the day off or the clouds are working over time, seemingly promised time and a half if they show up and cover the sun all the dang day. Great job clouds! In a… 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

  • What if…

    These are difficult days as we Americans walk towards a presidential election that could be seen as most embarrassing and at the very least it feels as if the people are not realizing the truth of what is going on. The name calling, finger wagging, who said what, and who did what, will not matter… 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

  • Almost done

    How do you write about those times in your life that push you so hard that you can hear your back breaking under the pressure. I for one get extremely tired of it. But it completely speaks to what this last 2 years have been for me and I am almost done. Done with the… 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

  • Ready for growth

    It is a tendency of the human to remain stuck in behaviors, endless cycles of why is this happening to me? Without the awareness that doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. We can say happy new year but do you know many who made it a new year,… Read more

  • I’m fine

    Don’t you get like that, just wishing people could see there is no real way you could be fine yet you are, fine, that is…just fine. After they ask you know they don’t really want to know if you are fine because they need you to be fine. So you are, just fine. But inside… Read more
