In my last blog I described some of my long term goals and much of it pointing towards a quest to gain confidence in myself. Some of you might be wondering how it is going, and I have to say it is going better than I anticipated. I joined Toast Masters in the second week …

Scrolling Our Lives Away
I have been thinking a lot about time. There are never enough hours in the day to accomplish all I want to complete. Being incredibly busy has become a societal norm for a number of years now. Time is precious and I don’t know about you, but I am constantly chasing time. In the quest …
Voting with Your Money
When you spend your money on whatever it may be, you are casting a vote on what kind of world you want to live in.
30 Days of Gratitude – Day 8
Today I am supposed to write about what is my favorite song and why. I actually lost an hour of sleep last night trying to determine what is my favorite piece of music. With so many genres and centuries of brilliant music which has touched my soul, it was useless for me. I cannot choose, …
30 Days of Gratitude – Day 2
For day two, my gratitude is for something I find comfort in… My faith. And no, it isn’t George Michael’s song nor famed album “Faith” which I am talking about, but my Catholic faith, my faith in God, my belief in a higher power is what gives me tremendous comfort during tumultuous stressful times, sorrow, …

We are Living in the Lap of Luxury
Yesterday was supposed to be an ordinary Sunday when I woke up early to attend a nine am mass. I go to mass to try and know God better, to learn His word & have a better understanding of the divine. I wasn’t expecting to feel so convicted by the priest’s words. I was convicted …
Day 21 – Summer 2018 Mins Game
Today’s purge is a biggie! I culled the closet to see what I could find & I found a lot. I probably could have selected a few more items and I may before the end of this minimalism challenge, but I still find myself attached to some things, which I want to give another chance. …
