This week I want to present three situations I recently experienced as a way to ask how you would respond: Today I was at a wedding reception at Michelangelo’s, and I had to run back to my car because I forgot my tooth brush... you know, a typical thing people forget to bring in with them to a … [Read more...]
Do you have the same problem as me?
This week I noticed that I have a problem... not the first time I’ve had this experience... I’m sure you’re surprised to read that. The sad thing is it’s actually a pretty common problem that most of us don’t really think about because so many people do it. I have a tendency to “brag” about how … [Read more...]
A Trick to Make Life Seem Better
As you are well aware, life has its ups and downs... at least I hope you are aware of this; if not, you must live in a magic bubble I wish I could visit. In life, we are guaranteed to experience times that are really great, times that suck, and times that just pass by without any real feeling … [Read more...]

Oprah calls them ‘aha’ moments, but my response is more ‘oohhhhhh’ because to me “aha” is more of an “Aha, I knew you were up to no good; started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight...” Sorry Fresh Prince flashback. Plus, ‘oohhhhh’ is … [Read more...]
Do you have depression?
The other day I was carrying a slab of wood with nails in it and as I took a step down the edge of the wood bounced off the step and aggressively dug into my back. The gross part was I could feel it as it pierced the skin and got lodged. It was sharp enough to break through the skin, but blunt … [Read more...]
Facing My Fear
The other day my mother came running in very upset from gardening. She is the most gentle and kind woman in the world (no exaggeration), so if something has upset her I become super brave and will do anything to defend her... and then I found out she saw a giant snake... bravery gone. Crazed … [Read more...]
