I Carry A Big Purse & NO, I’m NOT A Shoplifter
I’m writing this post with a little tongue in cheek humor, but after seeing an email come across my inbox and watching the video it suddenly made sense why I noticed something happening to me was happening! I love bags and purses. My current purse is pretty large. My son would tell me “mom, you could fit the kitchen sink in that thing!” if he saw it. It’s a bit of a nightmare actually finding anything in it, but I love it. It’s big enough I can throw my make-up, wallet, kleenex, lotion, chaptstick, and everything else in there including my laptop, notebook and a current book I’m reading! Yeah, I said…
An Open Letter to a Hurting Woman
I wish I had a magic wand and super powers. I would take all the hurt and pain away from friends who are hurting and going through difficult times. I would wave the magic wand over the wold and stop the violence; bring us together in love and erase the hate. My superpower would be to sit on the shoulder of each woman out there who was about to make another decision based on a story she’s telling herself – that she’s not good enough and doesn’t deserve better. Today, I want to focus on that last sentence above, about my superpower. I may not have a magic wand or…
Good Riddance…
When was the last time you tried something new? Not that long ago, I got sick and tired of letting old stories keep me from going places, doing & trying new things. I have been challenging myself to question when I start letting old stories creep in: I can’t because I’m scared of heights. I can’t do that alone. I’m too fat to do that. Let’s see if I can explain what I mean better about questioning these old stories that have ruled my life for so long. I can’t because I’m scared of heights Sure it’s high, but do you really want to miss that view from the top?…
Let’s Face It, Sometimes the Holidays DO Suck…
Can I share something real, raw and maybe even a little ‘silly’? It’s the day before Thanksgiving. I’m living in what I believe to be the most amazing place – the West Coast (seriously it is sooo gorgeous on this coast!). I’m head over heels in love with an amazing man! I’m getting ready to head off to my favorite place for 3 nights – the ocean. But… I’m stilling feeling a little down in the dumps. It almost seems silly that I could be so happy and living an amazing life but yet feel down too. You see, I made a cross country move from Michigan to the West…
Who’s that girl?
As I sit here typing this I can’t stop grinning. Seriously, I can’t wipe the smile off my face. I’ve been living on the West Coast for two months now and I still feel like I need to pinch myself every day, it still feels that surreal! I mean never in a million years did I ever see myself loving (and moving to) another place more than Florida (you can read more about that here). But here I am….falling more and more in love with the West Coast all the time! But that’s not what this post is about. Well it kind of is because it falls into the ‘who’s that girl’…
Life Doesn’t Always Go According To Plan…
Today I’m taking you on a little time travel. Grab a cuppa something, cause this one’s a bit long… June 2017 My son graduates high school and the time has come for me to move on to the next adventure and phase of life…head South to the Sunshine state. You see, I had been talking about moving to Florida for several years. Everyone knew this was my dream because I had been talking about it for so damn long….four years at this point. People were getting tired of all the talk and no action I think 😉 But something always held me back. But low and behold, my darling 18…
