Forgiving Before Thanksgiving

Forgiving before Thanksgiving The holiday season is upon us and we will soon be sharing more time with loved ones. And there will also be the people who makes us crazy. Sometimes they are one and the same. There’s a saying, “Your parents know how to press all your buttons because they’re the ones who installed them.” Truth! This is where forgiveness comes in. If you truly want love, good cheer and joy to flow through you and around you this season, then make sure there isn’t anything inside you that is blocking it.

True Joy and Happiness is Internal

One of the things you find with age, is that your dreams achieved don’t always satisfy you in the way that you imagined they would. In fact, a lot of people around me seem to be suffering from a mid-decade malaise whether they are in their 20s 30s 40s 50s.  It doesn’t seem to matter. Writers call this the midway slump. It simply happens in the middle—no matter what your circumstances. And in books the writer often realizes, it’s because a character is not yet deep enough or connected/in conflict enough with other characters and nothing is driving the external plot.

And let’s be honest, it’s a waste of time drifting from guy to guy hoping he’ll be what you are looking for when, you don’t really know who you are and what you are looking for. That’s why I always recommend The Boyfriend List. It’s important to be clear about what you want and expect. And to make sure you’ve got it right, write it down and focus on it.

It's Halloween, So Let's Celebrate the Little Spirits in Our Lives!

I’m not really into morbid stuff, though through age 22, I was an intensely addicted, horror film junkie. One night I was driving home, afraid of being attacked by zombies on a creepily empty road, when I realized there was something seriously wrong with me. Knowing I was much too imaginative to be driving like that, I put a halt to most of the scary movies, but I still love old cemeteries. I’m curious about the people and the stories, and relationships, and lives of those who were so “beloved”. This past summer, I was once again in a cemetery, taking pictures, wondering about the people who buried these “little spirits”. It was of course a pet cemetery, and it was a really…Read More
