Start With Gratitude, End With Thank You

When I was living in the dark I woke up angry that I woke up at all, I used to pray that I would die in my sleep, not because I wanted to die, but because I wanted to stop the negative cycle I was living in. Not sharing my truth with anyone, I had […]

If You Wake Up Bored It’s Your Fault

When I was living in the dark, I would often say I was bored. I would say it like life owed it to me to entertain me. But without putting in any effort myself, I continued to live in a repetitious pattern that only had me spiral down deeper into despair. Life didn’t owe me […]

Some of us never grow out of that playground mentality from our childhood, that if someone hits you, you get to hit them back. I know when I was living in the dark, especially when I was feeling my worst, I would hope someone would act out and invite me to do the same, I’d […]

When Someone Inserts Their Sickness Into Your Life

We’ve all been there. Minding our business. Doing the best we can. Just trying to get by. When BAM, someone sucker punches us with something totally out of left field. Accusing us of things that aren’t true, or based in facts, claiming falsehoods, pointing fingers at us. I used to get angry. Vehemently defend myself. […]

Nice Lady

There’s a supermarket I frequent in Los Angeles, I typically go in two to three times a week, and most times I walk in there is a security guard I say hello to as I pick up my basket. I always make sure to start my shopping with a hello to him and a smile, […]

Be The Mountain Not The Weather

I was talking to someone the other day, they were struggling with something, and before he finished sharing his struggle with me he said, “I know, I need to be the mountain and not the weather.” It made me smile. Yes, we should all be the mountain. The mountain is solid, it has a strong […]
