Have you ever noticed, that it really can take a little moment, a small slice or pie, a song, a text, or even a quick chat with a friend to lighten up a mood. Sooth your soul. Brighten that smile. Work days are rough. If you work in an industry like me in marketing, there are ...
maintaining friendships
Whether you live next door, in the same city or across the country (or a whole other continent), maintaining a relationship/friendship isn't always easy. We may all have the same hours in the day as Beyonce, but we are not all Beyonce. C'mon now. However, there are some ways friendships survive, and sometimes even thrive. ...
Spring playlist – coming in Hot!
Spring is just around the corner, and I can feel it ... can't you? Ok, well maybe some of us still have snow, but the temps are definitely warming, the sun is peeking out more, and the atmosphere around us seems to be saying, hello, we're alllllmost there!

acceptance of where we are
A lot of folks are struggling with the life of today. The permanent feeling of it, since 2020 has just bled into 2021. Most of us knew 2021 wouldn't be a refresh/restart button to being covid free and going back to "normal." However, the longevity of the pandemic and the recovery from it is definitely ...
going gluten-free

Migraines can bother your head, to disturbing your routine at a minimum or even causing you to a have a full bodily breakdown where you need to rest it ...
Love a little harder
It's easy to not try, give up, move on, not check in, feel too busy, or think I'll get back to that person later. But what if we keep making excuses, or not "finding" time... sometimes, it becomes too late. We may lose that friend or significant other or relative. They may decide, we've given ...
Surviving WFH
Working. From. Home. What a concept...something so enticing, and not so available to many of us...before Covid. And then, it became all too real. March 10, 2020 was my first day of working from home at my job, and we all thought ok by summer or early fall we'll be back in the office. It ...
Make it your own holiday
Nowadays there's a day for everything ... National Pizza Day, National Donut Day, National day...and of course there's the hallmark days like V-day. Or what some call Galentine's Day or Single Awareness Day. Whatever you call it, make it yours. Make a day, just for you. Forget what national day it might be, unless ...
