Some days it seems you feel nothing. Some days it seems you feel everything. Your body and mind begin to have to adjust quickly from these extremes, which is difficult to do. I think of it analogically as being in the "extreme sandwich". In my life, I have always been on one side or the…
There can be a lot of power packed into just a couple of letters. The simple, but defining words of "yes" and "no" have just about as much power as any word in our English arsenal. Today, I am going to focus on the latter. I mentioned in my recent post(s) that I am focused…
I am amazed by many things in life. I would consider myself an emotional reflecter. A thoughtful creature destined for amazement by life. But it usually comes after the moment. At each specific present moment of life, I may not feel a specific emotion. However, once I receive processing or reflecting time, I find emotions…
I haven't blogged since February 23rd, 2022. During that time, I always plan to make time for a post once per week. When that time has come, I have found myself fairly empty of guided thoughts or feelings. I used to really judge myself when this would happen - "How do you have nothing to…
