Limitless Drive and Willpower

Filed Under: Home, Mental Health, Self Care, Self Image

Welcome to double digits! Day 10 of my 30 Days of Positive Affirmations, which is all about finding limitless drive and willpower. After this many days in a row of writing, I thought that this affirmation was exceedingly appropriate. I’ve never attempted a month-long blogging project especially one focused on the many aspects of my life […]

Affirmation: Creative Energy Surges Through Me

Filed Under: Creative Outlets, Home, Mental Health, Self Care, Self Image

I used to consider myself an artist. Back in the late 90’s I was still living at home after college in New Orleans and I started a commercial art program at Florida Metropolitan University. I ended up moving to California after several months and my life took a different trajectory. Isn’t that always the way?! But […]

Building Strong Relationships

As kids we forge strong bonds. We have the time to stay connected with our buddies during school, play dates, and weekend activities. There wasn’t really any stress. Back in the day we stayed connected via phone calls till the wee hours, notes passed in class, sharing snacks at the lunch table, after school sports and school dances. […]

Self Love is More Than Acceptance

After yesterday’s affirmation about love and support being all around me, I was thinking about self love and what a good affirmation on that topic might be. Love of self seemed to be the natural next on my list. Today, let’s forget about the crowds around me and just focus on me, right at the center of […]

Affirmation: My Mind is Clear, Strong and Focused

Filed Under: Home, Mental Health, Self Care, Self Image

When I first started this 30 Days of Positive Affirmations, I began to write a list of the many things I dream of achieving. I shared it with John and he began to help me think of more ideas to add to the list. It’s tough coming up with that many, and I’m blessed with a very supportive […]

Can Old Habits Die Easy?

Filed Under: Home, Mental Health, Self Care, Self Image

Living in the pit of depression, old familiar habits die hard. It is so difficult to break free of unwanted behaviors when your whole being–mind, body and even soul–screams that these things are the right things to do. But depression is a lying liar that lies. It tells me for example that I should withdraw […]

Affirmation: Today I am Bursting with Energy

I’ve been struggling with depression and lack of energy so I started this 30 Days of Positive Affirmations to help me (and you) visually see and verbally repeat affirmations to change our lives.

Triumph Over Negative Thoughts

Filed Under: Home, Mental Health, Self Care, Self Image

You don’t have to be depressed for this to make an impact in your life. My 30 Days of Positive Affirmations will help you (and me) visually see and […]

Conquering Depression: 30 Days of Positive Affirmations

Filed Under: Home, Mental Health, Self Care, Self Image

I’ve been going through a difficult time the past few months. It’s quite like living in a haze where true joy escapes me. It’s not related to something outside of myself. My life, my work and my home certainly aren’t terrible. There’s a lot of love to go around actually. If I looked from the outside, I wouldn’t see a reason. […]

Massage as Self Care, Because Being a Parent Takes its Toll

Filed Under: Healthy Living, Self Care

This post was sponsored by Massage Envy as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. When I first met John about 12 years ago he had never had a massage. Not even once. Mr. Skeptic! To him, getting a massage was some sort of strange luxury that only people with loads of disposable income enjoyed […]

How to Create a Vision Board that will Change Your Life

Filed Under: Crafts & DIY, Kids Activities, Self Care, Self Image

The past two weeks the kids and I have been on a last minute trip to visit my parents in Florida. It’s been such an unexpected experience because while there a dear friend passed away way too young at 41. It was such a shock and it’s been a big wake up call for me and a […]

Overcoming Teeth Sensitivity and Dental Anxiety

Filed Under: Healthy Living, Self Care

I’ve always had issues with my teeth. Cavities and sensitivity, even when my mom diligently took me to the dentist every six months as a kid. It sucks! But I have to be honest, I hate taking care of my teeth. I know intellectually it’s important, but it just causes me SO MUCH anxiety. Even thinking about the […]
