JADE BRACELET AND COW BELLS Having a wonderful …AWARENESS .??….. A few moments of becoming aware of why wearing my JADE bracelet is so much more than I had intended. I had begun wearing it while I was writing or journaling just to remind me of the acronym J.A.D.E. – that I need not Justify, […]
Would’a, Could’a, Should’a…
I know without self-awareness, we could never really grow spiritually, but sometimes self-awareness can knock me off my little ‘self’-made pedestal I hadn’t even been ‘aware’ I’d […]
I had my patience tested. I’m negative.
I had my patience tested. I’m negative. I know, I know. You thought I had arrived…and was just all that and a bag of chips, but the truth is I think I’m missing the chips. Ok, I know, you know, I haven’t ‘arrived’ and I’m not even sure what ‘that’ is. When I’m feeling a […]

Morning Pages * “Gratitude vs Not-so much” I’ve been trying to get back into the habit of journaling every day, so back to “Morning Pages”, a suggested way to start each […]

When Character Defects Collide
When Character Defects Collide Happy Birthday to Me I’m not sure what to name the Character Defects which have collided, but one of mine is definitely “People Pleasing”, but aided by my Southern upbringing, that gets tangled up with a slogan which should have been applied… which is: “Say What You Mean, Mean What […]
Have you ever felt like you needed some human understanding…?
Have you ever felt like you needed some human contact, compassion, understanding or just someone present with your heart? Recently, we had to rush our precious Terrier/Chihuahua, Buddy, to the Vet with either a stroke, seizure, or poison induced seizure (toads in Florida – yuck). He’s improving a little each day for which I’m overwhelmed […]
Carpe the heck outta Diem
Carpe Diem I recently saw a song “Carpe Diem” on someone’s blog as I was blog hopping. Their blog was focusing on Fitness and self-care and obviously “seizing the day” — all very positive and go-get-em kind of things — encouraging people to exercise and eat right and have a bucket list and all of […]
