No More New Year New Me. It's New Moon New Goals...

No More New Year New Me. It’s New Moon New Goals…

I am 42 year’s old and I have never met a person that has held on to a New Year’s Resolution for 365 day’s straight. The thought behind it is great and it’s so wonderful to set goals to better our mental health and physical health. With that said New Year’s is just so commercialized and honestly, unrealistic. If you want to get serious about bettering yourself, then work with the Lunar (moon)…

Be Bold. Be Brave. Be Strong.Be strong enough to be vulnerable… October is the anniversary of my suicide attempt.

I just left a high paying, certified, career to be a school food service work and this is why…

Yes, I like many other American’s living in 2021 have left a career due to bad management! I am taking a job that is $30 less an hour than what I was making and I feel amazing about it. While I am worried about the financial impact may have, the mental health impact that this has will outweigh that aspect! I fought hard to push myself through night college while being a stay at home mom during…

Making Mom Friend’s Can Be So Disappointing…

This photo is of a non-dominational goddess, Aza. Aza represents feminine energy. I feel that is perfect for this blog. We all hear about how Women need to support Women, but Mom’s need to support Mom’s before we can even begin with Women supporting Women. I am not talking about just posting on social media about. I am talking about when you are with another Mom, support her and give her room to…

You Have To Have Negative To Be Positive...

You Have To Have Negative To Be Positive…

We all know people that have a lot of false positivity and let’s be honest, they are draining to have in our lives! Everything can not have a positive reaction. In-fact, you have to have negative to even create positive. There is not positive without negative. It takes both, negative and positive, to create a unique human experience. We couldn’t call success success without failure, we would have…

To Be Brave, You Have To Understand The Danger First…

This past year there has been a lot of people thinking they’re “Brave”. In reality, they’re not. They are being ignorant to the matter at hand and just wrongfully so telling other people that they live in fear. To be brave and truly fearless is way different than what we’ve witnessed from the “Trump Herd”. The Doctor’s and Nurses, that worked through the pandemic, are a great example of true…

Some people do not care about catching Covid because they love the attention that they get when they are “sick”…

I can’t get sick with even the common cold because I am a mother to three, a wife and I have to work. I do not have time to be sick with anything. I do not have sick days at work or at home. That luxury that you have with your sick days and the help from your Mom/Dad when you get sick, a lot of us do not have it. Have you ever noticed that more often than not, the people that say they do not…

As Long As You Keep The Storm On The Outside, You Can Keep Sailing Through Life.

When we look as ourselves as vessel’s in the sea of the unknown, we learn that we were built to make it through anything. A ship is made to stay on-top of water, it is not made to have water in it. A ship does not sink because of the storm around it, it sinks because of what is allowed in it. It sinks because of poor maintenance. It sinks because of too many people allowed in it. It sinks because…

Wash away your feeling’s of failure! In America we have allowed people to twist what it is to be successful. Unfortunately, having more loans has become the false persona of success. I am here to tell you that a renter is just as successful as someone that lives in a large house. How someone that drives an older car is more successful than someone driving a Tesla! First, success is not a…
