Who knows what tomorrow holds. We think we know what’s ahead, but life is full of surprises and uncertainties. Will we, won’t we? Only God knows. But then, just like that, I searched for an image for this post based on the title: “what tomorrow holds” “I don’t know what tomorrow holds but I know […]
Come what may, a song from the movie Moulin Rouge, reminds me of another title with a similar meaning – Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be, the future’s not ours to see. The idea as I see it is that we don’t know what the great unknown holds. Tomorrow, next year or an […]
…and time can do so much. 4 years have passed in an eternity and the blink of an eye. I still miss Bella. I still wish she were here. But now thinking about her makes me happy. Most of the time I don’t cry (though anniversaries still get me). Some may say she was just […]
These last two weeks – even more so than usual – I’ve been feeling grateful. I just took a trip of a lifetime to Norway, circumnavigating Svalbard by ship while seeing wildlife in their own beautiful habitat. I was able to take a week off of work which I rarely do – completely offline from […]
Duty. Responsibility. Obligation. Defined as “an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound.” What do these words mean to you? Sometimes life means doing things you should do, even if you don’t necessarily want to do them. When writing this, I originally used the word “need”, but there’s […]
Last month I wrote about guilt, and sometimes guilt serves a purpose. Does your conscience speak to you? Do you listen? I am easily guilted, sometimes justified and other times not. But there are times that I am convicted to change. I get that feeling that something isn’t quite right and realize a change is […]
Are you a person that feels guilt? Not just for a time when you’ve wronged someone else, but even when you perceive that you have wronged yourself. The world has expectations – some of them said and some of them silent. What you should (and shouldn’t) do with your days and your life. How you […]
“Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others.” – Brené Brown Have you ever said no to someone and hurt their feelings? Or said yes and it ends up hurting you? Boundaries are difficult to create and harder to keep. You’ll sometimes question if you’re […]
Just over 5 years ago I wrote an article, I’ll Be Happy When… I’ve been thinking about this lately. It’s so easy to wish for things that may or may not happen. I have a stack of 3 bracelets that say “I choose to be happy” – an homage to Rihanna’s song, Diamonds. This is […]
It’s an interesting thing that I never give up on people or situations. When I commit, I’m all in. What’s ironic is that I haven’t traditionally shared that tenacity in every area of my life. When I was a kid, I tried out a number of different sports…t-ball, soccer, basketball, field hockey, etc. I wouldn’t […]
