It has been quite a while since my last posting. I have been writing though, just not here. I feel like I've been cheating. But the good news is, I have been selling articles for a few bucks, plus lifetime page views compensation. I enjoy it, however it leaves me empty to post on my blog. Plus, I cannot post the same articles here, I would be in void of a contract...so...here is a link to my most

Some times we are expected to be motivated, before being asked if we want to be motivated in the first place. It is assumed we will be over the moon about some thing, when we haven't had the time to contemplate any possible interest. Other times there are tasks that need to be tackled that we'd rather be burned at the stake than do the work. Such is life, full of surprise and mystery and the

Everyone is blogging these days. Young and old alike are blogging their brains out. The funny thing is, some people don't even care if no one is reading it, they just want to blog for the sake of blogging. Others are hungry to share in some of the spotlight; they feel the need to air everything, for all the World to see.Remember when you were a kid and were given your first diary? It was secret,

Most people hate to be criticized. We feel as if we're being attacked if someone gives us an honest opinion and it's not the opinion we were hoping for. We have done our absolute best at something and want to be recognized for our accomplishments with praise. We are hurt if anyone finds fault or points out something from a different perspective. Even if somewhere inside us we secretly agree, it

Have you ever been so excited about something that you suddenly discovered you were doing so many things at once you couldn't keep them straight? Lately I have been learning so many new things, I've been trying them all. I find that there aren't enough free hours in a day to keep track. It seems to me, as I sit here reflecting, that a certain someone (myself) wrote an article about not adding too

Every once in a while a person comes along to remind you how important it is to share the knowledge you've gained from your own personal journey. Without even speaking, they all but beg to hear your story. Something about them let's you know it won't fall on def ears, like a sponge they will soak up every word. What a grand feeling to know, you, through your very own suffering, are able to pass

Forgiveness is typically defined as the process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake, and ceasing to demand punishment or restitution.The Oxford English Dictionary defines forgiveness as 'to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offence or debt'.The concept and benefits of forgiveness have been explored in

Just listening to the radio in the car on your way to work can be an emotional experience. A song comes on and suddenly your transported back in time; to a place in your memory that brings forth a flood of emotions. It's magical how you can remember exactly where you were or who you were with and what you were doing simply by listening to a song.For me music has a really big impact on my mood. A

For three days I have been reflecting over my life and taking inventory. I have searched every cabinet and storage box in my brain. Wow, there was a lot of clutter in there. Once I started rummaging, I found some really old stuff, that I had forgotten about, packed away in the deepest, darkest corners. Scary stuff in there, stuff I thought I threw out years ago (Isn't that always the case when

"Yes, I'd like to trade this for a newer model. When I got home I realized it didn't have all the features I was hoping for.""I'm sorry, all sales are final.

Even if it's raining cats and dogs, every weekend should have a little bit of sunshine. I took my own advice this weekend and I took the time to be thankful for all the wonderful things in my life. The week was a stressful one, it wasn't easy to look for a silver lining. My mindset was in a place that wasn't so bright or cheery. I was extremely negative...vibes flying everywhere.My family

How can you tell if there is true harmony and balance in your life? I used to ask that of myself often. I wondered how I would know if I had reached the zenith of balance and harmony in my life. I began to realize there is no zenith. It's a constant struggle to keep things balanced, so where is the harmony. The simple fact is, it is what we make it to be. What is for us may not be for others. So

Spring cleaning. Who needs it! Wouldn't it be nice if the Spring Cleaning Fairies would come while we are sleeping...we awake to a spit-shined, full of lovely aromas, home ready to welcome the new season?

I find myself locked into this routine. It works, but I'd like to shake things up a bit. Add some variety to my life. I'm tired of feeling like I'm on auto-pilot every day. So I sat down to think what I could do differently without upsetting the apple cart. After much editing in my head, I realized that all most everything I do, people are depending on me to get things done by a certain time each

"What about me?" An effortless thought as a child. Children have no problem putting themselves first. Something happens as we grow up. We learn to put others before us. We learn to tend to others needs before our own. Living a life of selflessness is honorable and commendable. Thinking of the other persons feelings is what sets us apart in the animal kingdom. We have the ability to express

Some days it comes at you from all angles. Everywhere you turn life is smacking you in the face. Despite your every attempt to do the right thing, nothing seems to work. On those days it would be nice to hide out from the World and be just a casual observer. Let life take care of it's self. Only,people who choose to sit back and let life take care of it's self go nowhere. So you trudge through

What do you think your bad motivators are? New ones pop up every day for us. Many, though, are embedded within us. Bad habits, as it were, from the past that we carry around with us, effect our thoughts and actions every single day. Old habits are hard to break. Learning to think a new way isn't so easy either.Once you decide to rid yourself of the bad motivators in your life, the trick is to

What motivates you? The answer to that is not a simple one. Every aspect of our lives has it's own set of motivators or demotivators. Every decision we make is motivated by some outside source that sparked our thought processes. We tend to think of motivation only when we are dealing with the bigger issues. Like diet, exercise, or some life-changing event that could transform us. Truth is,
