I Give Thanks for Being Me! Dear Friend, I feel so lucky to be able to say that and mean it. I know I have a lot to be grateful for.

But... Read More

Your Heart is Safe Dear Friend, Commitment is not just a headstrong decision you make and then put a lot of effort and force into reaching your goal.

Build a Window of Tolerance Dear Friends, What a Blessed day today. I thoroughly enjoy hosting my radio show, Evolutionary Women Radio Show every Tuesday, where I alternate between having a guest on my show and me going solo. Today's guest was Denise Martini.

The Improv of Life Dear Friend, Today is an experiment to just sit down and see what comes out of and from the keypad without having any idea what to write about. Let's call it improv-writing.
