I don’t think I know a single person who does not believe that they are nice.

They inquire about other people’s families, [...]

Did you ever wonder what it would be like if you put together the powerful energy of 4 other people into the same space that you occupy? Well, that is what I did yesterday as we, who met each other originally on Twitter, all met in person (some for the first time) and I can’t [...]

So, you have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time and you are facing a double mastectomy and reconstruction along with a parathyroid/thyroid surgery at some point.

Today is November 6, 2011. It is a very special day. The reason that it is special is because there has never, ever been a November 6, 2011 and there will never, ever be another one again. As far as I see it, that is pretty special and because I was fortunate enough to wake [...]

Earlier this week, I watched some of the coverage of the devastation from the earthquakes and tsunamis in the regions of Indonesia and those sights were totally surreal. I watched local coverage of those people who lost family and friends in those parts of the world and couldn’t begin to imagine what they were feeling. [...]

I have spent a great portion of my life allowing others to make my decisions for me. When I was a child, I did everything according to what my parents dictated. As I grew older, the peer pressure kicked in and off and running I went with the pack. Then it was in the work [...]

For as long as I can remember, I always believed that whenever you have a situation with which you need to deal, the answers can be found inside of you and not from others. In one of the lyrics that are contained in the “Let Life Happen” CD, the words are “the answers are inside [...]

It is an absolutely beautiful day. The sun is shining and I hear birds singing. There is a little breeze blowing and the temperature is probably in the low 70’s. I can see some fabulous flowers blooming from my window. Who could ask for anything more! Oh, I am so very grateful that my husband [...]

I am honored by all of the responses that I received from a lot of really strong, courageous women who took on the fight and got out of their abusive situations no matter what the cost to them. I think that there is one aspect left to discuss before moving on to another subject and [...]
