Healthy and Happy

Healthy and happy is way better than skinny and sad. There’s always that little voice inside that can trick us into thinking that losing 5 more pounds will make us happier. Don’t listen to the lies that society tells us. Skinny does not equal happy…and skinny does not always equal healthy. On the same note,… Continue reading Healthy and Happy

There Is A Time for Resting and A Time for Blooming

There is nothing in nature that blooms all year long. So don’t expect yourself to do so either. I’m a bit of a perfectionist. I like to do everything I can the absolute best I can.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. Every year during the month of November I try to be even more focused on being grateful.  Gratitude really does turn what we have into enough.

Lies, Misinformation, and Perception

I recently read a quote “When truth is blurred by lies and misinformation, perception becomes reality and all is lost.” I’ve been thinking about this for a little while.
