The ‘beauty’ of life is that at any moment in time we can choose to ‘reset’! Choose NOW! There is no ‘light’ without ‘dark’. Embrace the new journey that awaits. Look back only to understand where you have been….not to keep a dark cloud over where you are going. You matter! 💕😊

Monday Motivation – To Friend or Unfriend – A Social Media Woe
I have limited my time on social media because of all of the nonsense. If someone wants to unfriend me because of something I said, more power to them as they probably don’t speak to me on a regular basis anyway. What does it even mean to be ‘friends’ on Facebook. 99% of my FacebookContinue reading “Monday Motivation – To Friend or Unfriend – A Social Media Woe”
Talk is NOT Cheap and Silence is NOT Golden.
While we are counting positive COVID-19 cases and deaths daily I think we need to start sharing the number of people with thoughts of suicide, attempts and completions. Oh but wait! We can’t share those numbers because we don’t talk about suicide!! Argh!! 😡 😢 I started this journey into mental health and right outContinue reading “Talk is NOT Cheap and Silence is NOT Golden.”
Monday Motivation – Who are we, really?
We can remove monuments, statues, flags and any other remembrance of history but that will not remove a person’s way of thinking. Thought patterns have been in existence for years, decades and often an entire lifetime due in part to generational social learning. Change occurs by changing the way we think about ourselves and ourContinue reading “Monday Motivation – Who are we, really?”

Monday Motivation – Start where you are
May is Mental Health Month. Take a mental health day if needed and treat yourself to self care. Focus on you. We cannot change the past but we can have a huge impact on our present and future. Whether we take it day to day or hour to hour that’s OK. We have to startContinue reading “Monday Motivation – Start where you are”
Monday Motivation – Make Peace with the Past
Our relationship to the past is correlated to the paths we take in the present and affects decisions made for the future. “Make peace with the past”, “come to terms” and “resolve the past” are all good ideas and easier said than done. What do these even mean? We can’t alter the past. We can’tContinue reading “Monday Motivation – Make Peace with the Past”
