Today I just want to share a quote that impressed me. "One of the great tragedies of life, it seems to me, is when a person classifies himself as someone who has no talents or gifts. When, in disgust or discouragement, we allow ourselves to reach depressive levels of despair because of our demeaning self-appraisal,… Continue reading Be kind to yourself

Living in the Moment through Eternity
I appreciate this statement. Everyday I strive to live in the warrior way. This statement also resonates with me. No single moment stays in that moment. Each moment that we make a choice, that choice effects future moments. In some ways our choices effect past moments too. Warriors live in the moment fully aware they… Continue reading Living in the Moment through Eternity
A dream is a wish your heart makes
Yesterday I young lady I know mentioned that she can't wait to be in her 50's. She was sure that her 50's were going to be her best years. I don't know if my 50's are my best years. I'm still taking it one day at a time. The thing is, we live in a… Continue reading A dream is a wish your heart makes
Having Willpower
Something I have heard nearly all my life is that fat people don't have the willpower to loose weight. Fat people would be skinny people if they exercised willpower. Well... you are are wrong. I have a great amount of willpower. I work hard. I will myself through days that most people couldn't even begin… Continue reading Having Willpower

I have known for many years that this was an idea was something I needed to embrace. I would… Continue reading Bloom Where You are Planted
Summer bucket List
At the end of a school year I am very ready for summer. The trouble is, my summers are more of the same thing I did all school year long due to the fact that I continue teaching theatre for a children's theatre group. For whatever reason, this year I am extra tired and just… Continue reading Summer bucket List
Warriors See Roses
Years ago I learned an important lesson... Be glad the thorn bush has roses. A Warrior sees the roses. In the past, I have been known to see the negative in things... maybe even everything. I don't remember when, exactly, but one day I woke up and realized that the only thing I could change… Continue reading Warriors See Roses
We the People
This morning I observed a city council meeting that the entire senior and junior classes were invited to listen and to comment. A couple of things caught my attention. 1) It was apparent that many of these kids do not understand what city government can do vs what is the responsibility of other governmental agencies.… Continue reading We the People
Warriors Never Quit
Okay... I will admit. I have been a little discouraged with this weight loss thing. I have been around the same weight for 4 months now. I have so many more pounds to lose to be in the "safe" zone. I am eating well... look at my Menu Mondays. I am doing what I can… Continue reading Warriors Never Quit
