I had a dream. Not like Martin Luther King but stay with me. In this dream, I was in my backyard. There was snow on the ground. Suddenly, there were two black panthers ahead of me on my left. They were watching me, circling me. I was getting nervous. Then, on my right there was …
I judged someone a few weeks ago, which leads to today’s blog post. My judgment of this other human hurt her. That wasn’t my intention. In fact, it never even occurred to me it’d get back to her. It was said in a thoughtless moment without any consideration for anyone else. Regardless, I did mean …
Do you ever wish someone would just come to save you? Come help you off the ground? Life would be so much easier. But no one is coming. No one is coming to save you. No matter how hard you wish it. You have to save yourself. Something I’ve become quite good at but didn’t …
Are you a serious person? Is it hard for you to be playful? You want to, but you just can’t let go. Like an old jacket you’ve been wearing too long, and the zipper is stuck. Various upbringings lead to serious personalities. Maybe you had serious parents. Perhaps you were the only one taking care …

The idea of a “new start” is probably why New Year’s Resolutions live on despite their very low success rate. Knowing that low success rate, I don’t set …
The other day a friend of mine was telling me how sad she was that her pants didn’t fit. They were too big. She was losing weight even though she didn’t want to. Not a problem most of us have, but it still made her sad. And that made me sad. Who cares what size …
I’d be willing to bet you’ve gone through some things. Some not great things. Am I right? I’m sure whatever that something was, or is, it’s led to a lot of pain. Maybe it’s led to confusion or issues within yourself. You might feel isolated and alone. But you’re not alone. Most of us have …
