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? Are you stuck inside your comfort zone afraid to cross the border? I think we have all reached that point…
Would You Claim Your Own Words?
We think the children don’t listen when we speak. We talk at them and they ignore us as if we are mute. Frustration sets in and we may try raising our voices to them, with no change in reaction. Children are more aware of our words than we think. We may think they are too…
Who Do You Influence?
When you were a kid, did your parents keep you away from certain friends because they were bad examples? Did they tell you they were a bad influence on you? Most likely they had a good reason to say what they did. The people around us have a strong influence on our thoughts and actions….
Writer, Empath, Woman Inspired
Since I have begun this blog people from all walks of life have meandered in, taken a walk around and read from the pages showing the inner workings of my mind. Some of them have been inspired by my willingness to be open. Others have indicated they have been inspired to action by some of…
“I Just Don’t Understand …”
