I don’t put too much thought and energy into things that go wrong in my life. I acknowledge it, find a solution and move on. My focus and thoughts goes into opportunities – as I “choose” to think in ways that will support my happiness and success instead of ways that don’t. We choose our [...]

What Goes Around..Certainly Does Come Back Around
Cliché or not – this famous saying sure rang true for a friend of mine who lives her life as a nurturing and compassionate person. A few years ago she had to give up nursing due to health reasons. This was devastating to her because she loved being a nurse. It gave her great pleasure [...]

Soul Sisters….
Tears wield up as I read Lynn’s latest blog entry “Lynn’s Pity Party” at http://my100poundjourney.blogspot.com/ She is so candid and vulnerable as she describes her emotions in such detail.

Acceptance
A male friend recently talked to me about his 36 year old single daughter. She’s well educated, has a successful career, is financially sound and owns her own home. So what’s the problem? Well, he thinks she’s unhappy, even though she reassures him that she’s very content with her life. He invited me over for dinner [...]

Back To Basic Skin Care
I’m a bit surprised by the amount of women I know that really don’t have any sort of skin care program. Some just use the soap that’s in the shower and never bother wearing moisturizer. I suffered from acne as a teenager and at that time, early 80’s, there wasn’t much on the market to help [...]

Go With The Flow….
It’s a saying that we all use at some time but do we really slow down our lives to just go with the flow? For many years I was what you would call ”impatient”. It didn’t take much for me to come unglued whether I was stuck in traffic or had to wait in a [...]
