I spend a lot of time commuting; just like thousands of others that drive to work daily. Additionally, with my son in his fourth year attending PSU, that’s been a four hour drive I’ve taken quite often. And each drive I take, it’s amazing. Hand held cell phone use has been against the law forContinue reading “Warning: rant ahead.”

Trader Joes can be like Amazon; you either love them or you hate them. Myself, I love them. They go against so many retail/customer service theories, and WIN. The average food store is 50,000 square feet with a huge parking lot, plenty of shopping carts, usually in varying sizes. Aisles upon aisles of everything youContinue reading “What do you know about Trader Joes?”

What happened to that? If you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. Social media has made so many fearless keyboard warriors. I’ve used social media to build my businesses, connect with family, maintain friendships. It’s got some good qualities. It’s also got an ugly side too. Maybe you’ve seen it.Continue reading “If you have nothing nice to say….”

Sex trafficking. Suicide. Mental health. Mr Potato Head. Dr Suess. Cardi B. What are we doing? There’s still a stigma regarding mental health. Men still face ‘being weak’ when showing emotions. People still don’t talk about their feelings when it comes to anything concerning; the mental health crisis is still very real. Yet, we areContinue reading “Are we focused on the wrong things?”

I asked this question to a friend of mine yesterday. Well, actually, the question was, “When was the last time you were happy?” She said the question made her sad. When you’re not happy, what action do you take? Any? When does your own happiness fall from priority? How often do you really hear whatContinue reading “Are you happy?”

How many times have you wished for something? Other than over your birthday candles, I’m sure there’s been other times that you’ve wished…wish my hair was different, wish I fit into those pants, wish I was more fit, wish I had more money, wish my boss appreciated me, wish I knew another language….the list isContinue reading “A wish changes nothing. A decision changes everything.”

My daily posts went to basically non existent and my seemingly endless topics to blog about basically evaporated. Seven days after beginning to feel sick, I’m now beginning to feel better. Late January, 2020, I had not felt well. Then I’d felt horribly wrong. I was so insanely sick and there was a woman inContinue reading “I’ve been fog headed; I’ve got covid.”

In sales this is the first question we ask when someone says “it’s too expensive.” We ask what they are comparing it to for reference. This way we have an idea of either what they were expecting or where they are planning or even hoping their budget would be. This is the case with anything,Continue reading “It’s too expensive. Compared to what?”

Not really of course. But when depression creeps in, that’s basically what it feels like. Logically, you know that you have plenty of things to be grateful for; so much to be happy about. Emotionally, however, that monster just growls beneath your bed, breaking the chain of thoughts and interrupting all common sense. That monsterContinue reading “There’s a monster under my bed.”

Traditional meditation may not be for everyone. Personally I’ve found it very useful, especially when my chest is being gripped by anxiety and I’m struggling to breathe. I put on a guided meditation and concentrate on the soothing voice and voila, the anxiety subsides. It’s not always been that easy, but seems I’ve found myContinue reading “OM Depot.”
