A Goal is a Wish with Action
It is easy to say, “I wish…” It is easy to dream, of things you want to accomplish or own. Life is about wishing and dreaming as much as it is about doing. The trick is to not stop at the wishing part and continue on to the doing part of the process.
Tired…so Tired
I am so tired. I am tired of grand events, parties, drinking Mojito’s on the beach, shopping for the perfect pair of shoes, sitting in the cafe’ writing the next big thing, watching the sunset over Key West with my girls and…oh wait that is not my life. I go to work every day andContinue reading “Tired…so Tired”
It Gets Easier, Right? Wrong.
Hey God, this thing…this life lesson thing. I am trying really. I am trying to do that forgiveness thing too. I am not doing a good job of it at all. I get mad still…ok, I get angry. It is not fair.

I Said it
She grabs the soapbox. She steps up…to the mic and begins. Can you hear that? Listen to the sounds. The noise. It is the sound of life as we know it falling down around us. We are no longer safe in our own homes. We can’t go to the store without worrying if we willContinue reading “I Said it”
One Day I Will Be Her
I am jealous of all the women who get to shop in stores with small clothing sizes. Envy makes me hate myself that much more. I know it is pointless to be jealous. I get so disgusted when I go shopping for clothes that are supposed to fit me and my curves. I look atContinue reading “One Day I Will Be Her”
Luck Means Nothing
If a circus performer wanted to be sure he or she would have good luck during a performance, they would keep the hair of an elephant’s tail in their pocket. When good things happen or things work out for us we say we are lucky. I recently went to the doctor about my aching knee.Continue reading “Luck Means Nothing”
