They say you are only dealt what you can handle…. Sometimes that statement is hard to believe…. Life is full of challenges. Life is full of learning. Life is full of mistakes. Life is full of heartbreak. Sometimes it’s hard to see the good in things. Things can feel so difficult, you simply will not make it through, the dark may consume you and the light will not prevail. We’ve all had those hands dealt, even from the time we were wee babes. The first time we were separated f

There are a million and one reasons to have New Years resolutions… and a million and one reasons to break them. Why is it that everyone believes New Years is the perfect time to have resolutions? I set goals for myself all the time. I don’t think resolutions should be associated with only one time a year. Lets set goals for ourselves every day! Every week! With every pique of interest we should set a goal for ourselves to educate and practice new things. Yes, it can be so muc

Have you ever wanted to be in two places at once? Or constantly daydream about fields of green, tall mountains and the ocean waves all within the same view? I do all the time. I dream of a place where there is nothing but zen and beauty. About a week and a half ago one of my best friends took off for an adventure in Bali. Her goal was to find within herself peace, love for herself and a view of life she’s never had before. Everyday I read her blog posts about her experiences

Not just in the political sense that we have government and a Prime Minister, or President; but in the sense that one persons emotions, words, body language and so many other things can hold power over another. We’ve all been there. That wee classmate you walked right up to and asked to marry you, but ,to your disappointment, ran the other way and yelled “Ew, cooties”! That was the first time you ever felt heartbrea

Lonely moments. Do you ever have those days where the house just feels cold and there’s no one home. You long for someone to walk in the door, or call. Even after you phone everyone in your phone list, you can’t manage to find someone who picks up the phone or has a few minutes to just chat. Or, maybe you do find someone to chat with, but at the end of the conversation you still feel the longing for something more. Why do we feel such loneliness?! Why can’t we stand the thoug

This evening I went to visit a friend who has been one of my very best for years. We’ve shared laughter, tears, the good times, the bad and through it all have managed to keep our friendship intact. A friendship lasting this long is only the truest of friendships! As I sat with her she started to explain how unhappy she is with her workplace as there are many, MANY unethical things happening there. She told me she’s unsure on how to further approach the situation. I could go

Today is Monday May 11, 2015. I lay here in my big, cozy bed with my big, fluffy kitty sitting in the window above my head catching a couple of morning rays and watching the birds fly by. How simple his life is! Human lives, needless to say, are much more complicated. While I lay here I have a million and one thoughts running through my head. Brooding over my career, I can’t help but to feel that the once very fulfilling job has now lost its lustre and leaves my mind wanderin
