Do you sometimes feel that the more effort you put in, the farther you are from your desired destination? Does this sound like you? I am tired. I will start tomorrow. I will be happy when I lose 20 pounds. Life will be easier when no longer struggle to pay our bills. I hate my job, I will be less stressed when I land my new job. Once I finish this project, I can be present. I need this degree or certification before I can.

All to taste what is outside his reach. 

The first word that comes to mind describing 2024 is disappointment.I experienced some major upsets in all areas of my life, including family, friends, work, and even finances. At one point, I felt like my entire world was falling apart. 

Can we quit bragging about how resilient people are? We learn a new word and we want to incorprate that word into our vocabulary, yet oftentimes we don’t understand the meaning of the word. Only that it is a new ‘hot word”Here are a few words you may be hearing a lot of: resilient, gaslighting, projecting, narcasstic.

Want to take back control of your life? Ditch your digital calendar. Don’t get me wrong, I love the ability to have my calendar at my fingertips. Having the capability of seeing everything that is going on is convenient. And a nuance. Let me give you 3 reasons to switch and if you're still not convinced, keep your digital calendar. '

I reached the point where I knew things had to change. I was tired of… making excuses. trying to keep up.   not having time for the people important to me.  not having the energy to do things just for me. I was ready to embrace this balanced lifestyle.
