Resting
In coming to terms with who I am as an introvert, semi-anti-social, “fragile creature” (as my husband calls me) and general recluse with ups and downs, I should have known that from my extreme up-state last week there would be a down this week. Although maintaining a regular work out schedule definitely helps with the…

Happy Valentine’s Day
Three years ago a friend told me to just go out and not sit at home alone on Valentine’s Day. I did. Little did I know that I would meet a man who would make me laugh throughout the evening that would turn into a friendship, love and marriage!!!👱🏽♀️🤝👨🏾💼➡️ 💑➡️👰🏽💞❤️💗💜 While we are going through…

Getting different perspectives and opinions can be a challenging thing as everyone means well in their advice, they may even be correct in what they say and yet, they are not in my/our shoes.

When I set my mind to decisions of such extraordinary importance there is generally nothing to make me waiver from it – no matter how tough things get. In my first marriage, I never…

Short Fused
I am having flashbacks to being a kid when everything used to piss me off. I would become angry at anything and everything in a split second. Of course, then I did not understand why this would happen nor having an understanding of triggers, environment and self-control of these responses. As an adult, I can…

Podcast Fav 5: Where There’s Smoke
One of my running buddies recommended this podcast to me one day as we were sharing our podcast interest. Since I am always looking for a bit of change in my podcasts due to my habitual nature, I thought this one sounded quite interesting. I do not know exactly how to describe it, but the…
