If you checked in with me last week, you’ll know I was pretty happy about buying a Happiness Journal. Inside it has 300 suggestions for things to do and write about. Yesterday, I spent some time taking a closer look. Write various positive affirmations, compliments you’ve received, and quotes you love on little pieces of … Continue reading Paving the Path to Happiness
I understand that not everybody looks forward to the end of one year and the start of the next with the zeal that I feel in my heart, but let me tell you, I’m feeling it! I think self-reflection is important (when it doesn’t turn into over thinking and self-doubt). And I am one of … Continue reading 2022 That’s a Wrap
In September 2021, I went on a Bright Walls tour in Jackson, Michigan, and I wrote a blog about it - Bright Walls in Jackson. There are SO MANY beautiful murals in downtown Jackson, and I was excited to attend the 2022 Bright Walls Finale event this weekend. They have added more than 20 murals … Continue reading Bright Walls – Let’s Do It Again

Our collective trip down memory lane reminded me that when I was in high school, and looking for that first job, I had friends that worked at the community library. I thought that would be the … Continue reading You Can’t Always Get What You Want

I also have a white board at work and at home which I use to keep priority items front and center. Things can easily fall off my radar if … Continue reading 22 in 22
Friday, February 12 was the first day of the 2021 Lunar New Year – the Year of the Ox. When I was young, I used to pour over the zodiac descriptions on my Chinese restaurant placemat. I would study the years associated with each animal, determining under which sign each of my family members were … Continue reading Put a Little Love in Your Heart
Photo by Jonathan Borba on Pexels.com Last weekend, I was sitting in my comfy chair with my laptop in my lap (funny how some things are so aptly named) knowing I wanted to blog about Christmas, but not sure quite what I wanted to say. I’ve heard a lot of people talking about how it … Continue reading Where Are You Christmas?
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com I talked to a family member earlier this week who is struggling, looking for direction, and could use some help. I wanted to offer some good advice, but I didn’t feel like I had any. Since then, for some reason or another, the story of Lizzy Watts came to my … Continue reading Life Lessons on a Snowy Hill
Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com I am a news junkie – and I am on a news holiday. It’s a bit of a feat really. I have not tuned into the news for one hundred and sixteen hours and counting.
