I believe in gratitude. I try to be thankful for everything, to find something to be thankful for even in the midst of a blitz of ugh. I won’t deny this is very hard for me. I love to complain. Love it! Too cold, too humid, too hungry, too tired, too poor, too, too, too. [...]

If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you’re right. — Mary Kay Ash Why we fail Innocent until proven guilty, right? We all know that it is human nature is to operate under the opposite tenet. And we also tend to prefer Believe Once Proven. We all have things in [...]

Yesterday I attended the Women Business Owners Network (WBON) Winter Conference in Manchester, Vermont. Everyone of the speakers was fantastic and one woman noted she felt “drunk on the energy.” I can’t begin to share all the things discussed but I will tell you, it was powerful! I believe in serendipity, in the power of [...]

No, not that kind (get your head out of the gutter). No, this is just a quick, boastful post to say… I GOT PUBLISHED! In Mama Says (this is the link to their blog, not the zine itself). My understanding is it is just a small Vermont publication, but I don’t care. You have to [...]
Paah- fection

I’m impatient. I’m also crap at not being good at something (there’s a sentence for you). My learning curves are supposed to be straight. I want brilliance – immediately. I’m an aspiring writer, I’m learning the ropes, I’m starting a new career. But I have a little friend, a toxic friend, the kind that can [...]
Proof is in the pudding

More proof that this positive attitude thing works… I got offered the job on Tuesday, August 5. Just a week and a half earlier I wrote this in my journal: “OK, I’m going to pretend I don’t need a job and I will start my journal workshop training and get writing and just see what [...]

Serendipity has to be one of my favorite words. Merriam-Webster defines it as the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for. A couple of days ago, I walked into the daycare center to pick him up my son and I walked out with a job. Phenomenal. Valuable. Agreeable. Really not [...]
Serendipity

Something amazing has happened. The universe saw that I, despite the Fear, was working toward my goal of becoming a writer and journal-writing teacher/therapist; believing in myself and my abilities. I cannot tell the whole story yet as nothing is official. I have been trying hard to believe in what some call “manifesting” for many [...]
Exposing and disposing the Fear

I saw my name as a byline for the first time today. I submitted three tiny pieces to AssociatedContent.com a couple of days ago just to see how the process works. While it is exciting to have my own words there for the world to see, it is also a little disconcerting. Strange that I [...]
