Thought of the Day: Stand up to The Bully and Reclaim Your Power
My parents raised me not to bully others. They also raised me to stand up to bullies. They taught me not to start a fight. They also taught me that if someone started one with me, that I was to finish it–because “we don’t run from anyone!” They taught me to defend others and speak…

Thought of the Day: Stop Looking For The Short Cut And Just Put in The Work!
No one faults the person who tried yet failed. But we roll our eyes in disgust at the lazy person who is shocked and dismayed that their lack of effort didn’t result in a win. Get your butt up and put in the work!

Last Night I Was Blessed With Baby Logan
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. So how exciting it was for me to witness the birth of my nephew, Logan, at 8:15pm last night–on Halloween! I cried tears of joy as I saw that head full of hair pop out and say “hello world”, all while my super strong sister focused on the…

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!
Today is my birthday. I’ve been blessed to walk around and make mistakes, fall down and get back up—and learn hard lessons for 42 super awesome years. Today I celebrate my life and all that is has been and all that I hope it will be. Today I miss loved ones who have since passed…

Tomorrow is my Birthday and This is the Gift That I Desire
I’ve shared in previous posts about my desire and need for a cure for Alzheimer’s-Dementia. It has attacked my family members and other loved ones. It has attacked people that I know and also those closest to individuals that I know. It’s attack is cruel. It eats away at the brain. It steals the cognitive…

Thought of the Day: Actively Chasing and Achieving Dreams
I just saw a quote that I decided to flip a bit into my own words for greater impact: “Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness.” We all have dreams. But how many of us are truly working towards making those dreams come true? What are we doing every single…

All That I Want For My Birthday is a Gift to the Alzheimer’s Association
Alzheimer’s-Dementia. Many have chalked up the symptoms to “old age” not knowing when and how this silent killer creeps in and causes havoc on the brain. We exist in a state of denial while our loved one grows more and more tormented. We just sadly watch as the years go by and our loved ones…

Reflection: My Pity Party 🎉
OK so I had a 10 to 15 minute pity party earlier today. I needed to let what was bubbling up to pour out so I could carry around less. It’s ok…. Cry. Boo hoo. Shake it off. Get your head back in the game. It’s ok to allow your self to feel. It’s ok…

Thought of the Day: No Excuses!
“I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse.” ~ Florence Nightingale We do absolutely nothing out of fear. We self-sabotage out of fear—fear of the past and fear of the unknown. We make excuses for not trying, not pushing harder, not loving more and deeper, not getting over the past.…

Dream Chasers, Dream Saboteurs: The Last Three Years of My Life Unveiled as Your Lesson
I can’t believe that it’s already mid-July. It seems like last week was the first week of January. Maybe it’s our busyness or the chaos of life intertwined with the never-sleeping age of technology that keeps us buzzed, connected, and feeling like time is passing us by. Some days feel like they zoom by while…

Thought of The Day: First Impressions Matter So Get it Together
Sure we all may walk around with an attitude, belief or mantra of “like me as I am” or “I don’t care what people think and say about me. I’m going to be me“, or “you don’t have to like me and how I look, because I like me“. Some of us make the decision…

Thought of The Day: Pick Four Things to Do and Save The Rest For Later
We’re overstimulated in too many ways, and I’m not talking about the “good” stimulation either. No I’m talking about techno-stress, e-clutter, and not having enough time in our day because our days are being burned up by too many emails, phone calls, social media posts, and meetings. We’re overwhelmed, overworked, underpaid, overtaxed, overspent, and many…

Focus on Your Strengths and Delegate or Simply Ignore Your Weaknesses
We’ve been programmed since our K-12 days to obsess over our weaknesses, or like we used to say when I was a kid, “what you suck at“, because for some odd reason researchers and academics are obsessed at finding the smartest students and separating them from the “dumbest” students, and constantly reminding the “dumb” students…
