Stifle yourself. Be seen and not heard. No one cares what you think! Those phrases are woven into the fabric of a woman's life. Your voice doesn't come with a mute button. You have a story to tell. An opinion…
I don’t know about you, but for me, spring can’t come soon enough. The dark rainy days of winter are hard enough during regular times. But during a pandemic, they can be brutal.
I heard a life concept from Jay Shetty yesterday that resonated with me. A way to grow every year and live a fulfilling life. The three L's. It goes like this –
I've been reading Jim Kwik's "Limitless." Essential reading if you ask me. One of the 'Lies" he says we're told is "Knowledge is power." It isn't. Know it alls aren't powerful. They're jerks. This month we're talking about goals and…
When I look back at 2020 at first glance it seems as though I did nothing. The goals I had at the beginning of the year stand out like glowing reminders of my incompetence. Well, that’s depressing. Then I thought…
My children were coming for an overnight stay. I didn’t see them often, so I was excited. At the same time, I was desperate. We didn’t have two pennies to rub together.…
Not very long ago I was there. Ready to give up. What's the point? Nobody is listening, anyway. Why not quit everything and live your life in peace. Who is gonna care?

I owned an iRobot (Roomba) a decade ago. I loved it. I would gush about it on social media. I loved how it said, "Oh, oh." when it got stuck and made a happy little sound when it…
Last week I attended the funeral of a friend who passed away from a sudden heart attack. It was sobering, to say the least. Most of us in attendance were gobsmacked. Michael’s death touched us all in a profound…
I haven’t written in a while. In a long while. It’s not as though I have nothing to write about. I do. I have two wonderful interviews with artists waiting for me to do something…
Are you a complainer? Do you have the complaints department on speed dial? I know I can be at times. I complain about the government. And not my own country! I can complain about finances. A lack of things to…
We’ve all seen the meme. A picture of Audrey Hepburn or Lucille Ball and the caption “In a world full of Kardashians be an Audrey or a Lucy.” Or to be blunt, have some class.
