Recently, I wrote about making a dedicated effort to try new things to have a little fun, expand upon a skill, or to step out of your comfort zone. Whether you’re trying new things or indulging in old favorites, stopping to smell the roses and enjoy life is something we all advise, but many of [...]

Are you standing in the way of your happiness?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged attitude, choices, happiness, happy, life, negativity, positive on March 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
There are the people that are always happy, no matter what. They never seem to get angry, frustrated, sad, or down about anything. They may be standing in the middle of a hurricane, with no clothes on, and no one offering them help, and they’d still find something positive to say. It’s this guy, [...]
Small steps for a grand plan
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged career, comparing, goals, journey, life, plan, self, steps on March 2, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Today I had one of those come-to-insert-higher-power-of-choice moments. It started as a slight scolding from someone who is looking out for me in more than one way (which I deserved), twisted and turned into “I’ve been where you are” stories, and ended on a positive, action-oriented note. “Help me help you” isn’t just a memorable [...]
My next leap is all about me

This post was originally posted on Simply Leap, as part of the “My Next Leap” blog series. **************************************************************************** For much of my life, I’ve tried to live up to what I think other people want from me. I’ve tried to please them, make them love me more, like me more, want me more, and need [...]
Letting go
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged learning, letting go, life, life story, relationships, themes on February 3, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only person who seems to have weeks with recurring themes — a phrase, issue, or conversation that comes up again and again, sending you a message (and for me, a blog post idea). But I talked about it with my friend tonight, and she has the same experiences…feeling like [...]
The littlest things make it hard to move on…
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged birthdays, friends, life, loss, love, moving on on November 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
When looking back at a lifetime of memories, relationships, milestones, and decisions, it’s easy to lump them into categories and think you’re done with it. That was the “first job” stuff. That was the “move to the big city” year. That was the “neglectful father” stage. That was the “4-year relationship breakup” moment. That was [...]
The Why & the How

Once the conversation is started on a big (HUGE), issue that runs deep and wide, has stretched through your heart and mind and soul for years, and become a part of your very existence, you wonder when it will ever be closed. If it involves someone close to you, someone that is always going to [...]
And for all the in between years
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged changes, life, love, Sinatra on August 27, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Ol’ Blue Eyes says in one of his most beloved songs, “When somebody needs you/it’s no good unless she needs you all the way/through the good or lean years/and for all the in between years come what may.” I’ve loved Sinatra since I was about 12 years old, and now more than ever, his songs [...]
Taking the high road

How many moments a week, or even in a day sometimes, does someone or something make you want to explode and run out of the room screaming? Depending on where you work or who you live with, this could be more often than you’d like, or you could be lucky and those moments are rare. [...]
A great big world out there…for me
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged breakups, changes, life, relationships, single on August 6, 2010 | 1 Comment »
It’s been one month since I made a life-altering decision — to end my 4-year relationship with my boyfriend. Those of you who read this know that I’m pretty transparent about my life, but in this instance, I want to keep things relatively brief as it pertains to “what happened.” Bottom line: we were at [...]
