You ever have a day where all is right in your universe? I am talking you wake up, maybe get a little extra loving in the morning, the kids wake up in a grand mood, in other words none of that pesky whining that can drive a parent mad at 7am. The day is just going marvelous and you end …
I can’t speak for anyone else but one of the upsides to growing older for me has been I am far more willing to speak my truth and be intentional in what I need to thrive and function as a fully actualized adult. Trust me, it has taken a lot of work to get to this place and in many …
I woke up this morning feeling quite refreshed despite staying up well past my bedtime and the brutal heat of yesterday. As part of my morning meditation, I laid in bed thinking that for the first time in a long time, life feels good. Not just I am having a good moment but that for the first time in a …

Nope, it somehow feels selfish and for many of us we can’t even muster up the courage …
Did you miss Hump Wednesday? Yeah, so did I but that’s okay because I figure we should just have Tango Thursday. Why not? It’s a good night to dance and perhaps do more. All jokes aside I am still in computer land limbo but I hope to be back up and running soon since I have some posts that have …

It’s my hope to make the Friday Round Up a regular feature at my new home specifically I would live to shine some light and love on smaller bloggers.
