Angry, frustrated (maybe a bit disgusted) with myself. It wasn't even February and I'd already given up on my big resolutions/goals for the year. Yep, that used to be me (a bit embarrassing but it's what usually happened before I discovered the impo ...

December 28th, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

Red in the face. Ashamed of the tears welling up into my eyes. I tried to not show how upset I was. It was the summer of 1989, and I was trying to convince my mom that I could handle a job that would require me driving into a not-so-great area of Ho ...

Did you know that 80% of people who set a New Year's resolution abandon it by the 2nd week of February (and a majority before the end of January)? [I know, right?] That's why I recommend you don't bother with a New Year's resolution, and instead do ...

You know those people who put their Christmas trees up before Thanksgiving, play Christmas music non-stop and LOVE everything pumpkin? Yep, that's me (a bit embarrassing but true). I think I drive my family most c-r-a-z-y with all the (Time Life Trea ...

#1 Daily Habit For Happiness

November 23rd, 2021 at 8:00 am CDT

In the fetal position, clutching my stomach in pain I heard my son Noah laugh. And I actually smiled. It was June 2012. Even though I only had 1 chemotherapy treatment left I was seriously considering NOT going (the pain didn't feel like it was worth ...

Horn blaring, the car behind us made it a point to get as close as possible (without actually hitting us). My son screamed... "Mom, what is he DOING??" Zachary was making a right turn into our neighborhood (uphill with a car in the opposite lane). It ...
