Making Life Rock

Landing in Philadelphia for Journey trip #33, I hopped into my car and set Betty (my GPS) to navigate me to Scranton. On the phone with my sister-in-law, I realized I’d been there before. You know that crazy Dèjá Vu feeling that washes over you? And then it hit me.

Just a quick note to tell everyone that I was interviewed by Kristen Andrews for her featured readers column.  I would appreciate it if you could …

A part of coaching a woman to achieve true life fulfillment and happiness is to help her see where she is and where she wants to go. I've had to do a lot of self-coaching over the years just to stay sane and moving forward. And, to tell you the truth, I still have many areas in my life that need work. We all do.

Since I started this blog back in March, I have learned how quickly that you can go from being scared of the Word Press Dashboard to whizzing around it like a Cirque Du Soliel aerialist. Another thing that magically happens is making new web friends - the topic of this Fortunate Friday (a new column for Fridays that talks about the fortunes of blogging).

This post was the winner between 21 ways to have an orgasm and 15 ways to shrink your belly fat. Not that those others aren't important...cause they are. I just see the need for brevity and the fact that my dinner is almost ready. Brief and profound, my favorite.

They cut, They bleed, They plant an unexpected seed. They smile, They frown, They love, They hate, Sometimes a better person they make. They rise, …

Hey, Ladies, check out my guest post over at SonyaFeher.com. The title is Writing With Children - a funny account of my daily writing attempts with a toddler and three teens. I am honored that she has also been inspired by my post to start a regular guest post column entitled Writing With Children.

Today's topic is one with which many have trouble - on a daily basis. It is making decisions and acting upon them. I, for one, am one of those who don't find making some decisions to be pleasant; therefore, I avoid them. When I say this, I don't mean your every day ones like which breakfast cereal to buy or what shoes should I wear today; no, the ones I speak of are much more life-changing and some can even be hazardous or painful.

I started the day much to early for a blogger and with a hellacious headache. Then while checking my stats, my email, and my comments, I was lead to A Bit of Happy.

Tell us what one thing that you know you should do but can't seem to accomplish; either you can't get up the courage, get around to it, or a dastardly person is holding you back. And when you finally get it taken care of, how will it improve you or your life? Please share.

Have you ever wondered why young children enjoy simple, unimportant interactions with every day objects like flowers (or flour), bugs, water, dirt, and even the really gross stuff? Because their minds aren't filled with the complications of life, they have time for the sensical parties in which we adults refuse to partake - most of the time.

Girl friends help me to see the other side, alternatives, and ways to tackle the issue. Personally I receive girl friends as precious gifts from God. They have given me love, companionship, strength, confidence, peace, and joy! (Not to mention the shoulder massages!)

Water, Air, Fire, and Earth - everything we are, everything we touch, and everything we need is made up of at least one of these 4 elements. It's no wonder that we feel safe, warm, and relaxed while in their presence.

Do you find yourself needing an afternoon pick-me-up most days? Do you avoid coffee because the caffeine would keep you awake at night, or say no to soda because you’re trying to cut back? How about brewing a cup of tea?

How many times a day do you label yourself or others around you? Face it ladies, we live in a world of titles, status, and stereotypes. Of course, it's okay to give yourself or someone else a label of love like, good person, incredible listener, compassionate; it's when we throw the negative out there that we hurt ourselves and our fellow humans.
