Middle-age Puberty? Is it a thing?
So, I turned 50 in July and I think turning 50 is my new fave! I know it may sound strange, but I've always loved getting older. It might have to do with being one of the younger ones in my large family and always wanting to be like the "big kids." Of course, I [...]
What Are Your Summer Goals?
With my personal coach’s program we do cycles of 90-day goals…but more important than the goal are the thoughts I will need to be thinking to generate the feelings that will drive my action toward the goal I have.

Mining for Gratitude
Frustrations are usually surface level…it doesn’t take much effort to point them out and to even vent about them to others. I was extremely frustrated by something going on in my world yesterday. Even vented to my hubby about it and of course because he loves me he assured me that I was justified in [...]

When You Tell Yourself You’re Not Interested in Sex
I showed my husband the title of this new post and his response was “What? Why would you ever tell yourself that? God created us to want sex.” But, I’m sure you’ve been there, Sis. I have, too. Because we all have human brains that try to convince us of things that are just not [...]
