Want to improve your life? No problem — just change your perspective!
The smallest change in perspective can transform a life. What tiny attitude adjustment might turn your world around? ~ Oprah Winfrey You have heard this all before, I’m sure, but it bears reminding ourselves from time to time that if we were just to change our perspective on a situation, we would change our actions and […]
No Plan? No Sweat.
I get nervous if I don’t have a plan. My ego starts freaking out. Does that happen to you? If it does, you and I both need to heed the words of Mandy Hale in the quote for this blog: You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, […]
Taking Responsibility for Someone Else’s Feelings

Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.

Be the Watcher!
Have you ever gotten down the road and realized that you hadn’t really paid attention as you drove? Your mind was busy “thinking” about stuff. What stuff? Was it important?
