There, I Said It

Yes, that is the truth. I have a really nice smile. Beautiful, in fact. People I don’t know tell me this fairly regularly. In fact, I am told this in the majority of instances in which I am connecting with someone face-to-face, and smiling. I don’t do a ton of each, and I would imagine [...]

I am totally free. Utterly and completely. And you know what? You are, too. Make money however you choose. Complain about the current way you make money, knowing full well you can change that way. You can complain. Period. You can decide to stop listening to others complain. Name your kids whatever you choose. You [...]

Just do it. There comes a time in every stage of each of our journeys at which there is nothing left to do but act. You’re read about it. You’ve written about it. You’ve told all your Facebook friends and your twitter followers and your mailing list people and your real friends and your significant [...]

Today, what if, when someone asked “How are you,?” you actually gave a real answer? What if, instead of chirping a happy answer like “Great!” or “Awesome, how about you?” you were a little more honest than that? “I’m having trouble paying my bills.” “My kids are on my last nerve.” “My relationship is feeling [...]

Last night, I had three kids (my 2 + Kid 2′s BFF) and few dinner options. I am usually super-organized ahead of time as far as dinner, snacks and the like. Last night, I wasn’t. Kid 2 also informed me that we needed to go to the library for an emergency book she forgot all [...]

I love how you feel fear and doubt and uncertainty, yet you forge ahead anyway. I love how you’ve gone hours before realizing you have something green and leafy wedged in-between your two front teeth. I love when you realize that “should” and “supposed to” aren’t in charge of your life. At least not anymore. [...]

This morning I woke up grumpy. Not cheery. Not bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Not ready to face the day. Not chipper. No butterflies and birdies circling my head.  Grumpy. Grumbling about my mediocre (at best) night’s sleep, stressed about my deadlines today, pissy about how I ate over the weekend, at the ready to snap at [...]

When it comes to being miserable, there are, of course, many ways to skin a cat. Many roads lead to the place called Miserable: Pretend. You smile when you want to cry. You want to make sure everyone knows how happy you are, even when you aren’t.  Everything’s great, everything’s perfect. So grateful! So blessed! [...]
