My blog topics have been all over the road lately. Faithful readers checking in every Monday and Thursday morning never know what they will find when the blog automatically publishes. When I began this blog I wasn’t sure what direction it was going to take. There wasn’t really a target audience other than writers, women…

Love Is Not A Light Switch
One of the things that victims of emotional abuse and neglect suffer with is low self-esteem. This brings with it a feeling of never being good enough. Abandonment issues come to the surface many times in the life of these victims. They can quickly bring us from being in the light to that very dark…
Soul Changes
Last year in April I wrote about how I felt there were some big changes in the air. (Changes) Unsure exactly what those changes were I felt them in the depths of my soul. Intuitively I understood these were the kinds of changes that alter life. When I wrote that I had just begun a…
Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone!
Have you ever reached a point in your journey when you just don’t think you can take one more step? Do you feel like you’ve exhausted all possibilities and your goal is just simply unattainable?

We always think we know people based upon our experiences with them in our lives. We decide whether we like or don’t like them by the behaviors they exhibit around us, whether it be in a very public place, in a small group of friends, or even just on a one-on-one basis. Even our own…
Normal Isn’t Always Right
One of the things I have noticed as I grow older is my ever-increasing resistance to change. In my 48 years on this earth, there are routines I have developed. I have preferences for certain things and a very noticeable dislike for others. Of course, I am not alone in this. As humans, we are…
