WordPress has changed how things look. I like things to be familiar. I like things how I like things. I’m having to teach myself to embrace change and not throw too many temper tantrums when they happen.
I have to admit, the changes are working for my good. initially I thought they would make things harder or take longer. I am finding they are making things. easier to do and. the experience better.
As things change in your life beloved. don’t think of change as bad. All things change. Things were never meant to be permanent.
I have been enjoying this new me. 56 sure looks good on me!
Enjoy the changes in yourself. At least, the changes are making you more interesting!

Yesterday, I had chili for breakfast. Today, I’m having tacos for breakfast. How great is that?!
Sis thinks I eat in ridiculous combinations. I ask her who made folk the food police on what we should and should not be eating? Or, WHEN we should be eating, said “acceptable” food products?
I have been enjoying my weird. my weird has been especially weird lately.
Life is short. Get your weird on!

Note: Rejoice in 2025. You spent too much of 2024 being all sad and wondering what the world is going on. Do something completely ridiculous. do something that will make you laugh out loud in the middle of doing the ridiculous. invite someone into your ridiculousness. Share all of you. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be yourself. So go on. Be yourself.
Vertigo has been kicking my tail lately. It has come roaring back into my life in the last few days.
My vertical has not been this bad and almost a year. I think the universe gave me a reprieve because of the tornado. Or, I was too busy being scared half to death because I didn’t have a job and trying to find one. I didn’t have time to focus on having vertigo.
I don’t let it bother me. I take my time. I live my life. I take care of myself the best I can.
Don’t allow your limitations to put a limit on what you can achieve throughout the day. Do what you can. Be patient with yourself. Be extra understanding when you’re going through tough times.
I don’t know when it became acceptable for everyone to be so hard on each other. Let’s cut each other some slack. We’re all doing the best we can with what we know.
Stop limiting how far you can go. Just go. As far as you can. As best you can.
Don’t waste your life waiting for folk to say positive things about you.
Stay positive. Folk are positively going to hate on you
Don’t wonder about who is saying what about you.
Stay positive. Folk are going to say anything and everything about you. True or not.
God says this about you: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. NOTHING shall separate you from My Love.
The Universe says this about you: There is only ONE you. How priceless you are!
Life says this about you: What a precious gift you are!
I say this about you: I love you, beloveds. I pray for you EVERY day. I 😂 laugh at the enemy for being so stupid as to try you. For, I KNOW, these trials SHALL have you come out as gold.
Make sure YOU say this about you: I am loved. I am NOT alone. I CAN. I WILL!
Now, beloveds, get out there and LIVE. Let today be the LAST day you go begging for crumbs of love.
Love. Just love. Love will be sure you receive your share as you share your love with others.
It has taken these last years, of terrible strain and hardship, for me to learn to just love folk. I no longer base my love, or lack thereof, on how much or if I was loved back.
I love. I keep it moving. I love it when I am loved back. Yes, it hurts when love appears unreturned. Yet, I understand folk are hurting so that most have NO clue how to receive love. Let alone understand HOW to return love.
In these days and times, the word love is tossed about soooooooooooooo casually. Too casually.
Folk have forgotten the sheer wonder of love. Folk have replaced love with lust. Sadly, they mistakenly believe lust will fulfill or tie others to them. It does not. It never will.
Life is short, beloveds. 🛑 Stop paying rent to the 🌎 world. This means, stop trying to buy love, affection, and safety by presenting yourself as something/someone you are not.
Be you. Don’t worry about the negative things people say.

I had wanted to start a blog for many, many years. I didn’t because I was afraid no one would care. I was afraid of what folk would think about what I thought. I thought my thoughts were stupid. I thought some of the dumbest things.
One day, I decided to deal with my fear and try. I tried. I felt like an idiot at first. There are days when I STILL feel like an idiot.
I feel like an idiot now. So what? I’m still trying. That is enough for me. All I can do is try, right?
Try. Just try. YOU may be the very person I have needed to propel my dream forward. I may be the answer to YOUR prayer/ hope/wish. How shall we ever know unless we try? Let’s go!
I’m choosing to look at the positive. It’s so easy to focus on all the bad things that have happened in our lives. There have been so many good things we have dismissed as luck or chance. Things are looking up for us all.
I plan on making this a spectacular year. It already is. I’m eating salads. I’m getting more rest. I’m making sure to reach out to my family and my friends. I’ll be sure to get me some good me time in.
I have been organizing and prioritizing. I’m keeping my promises to myself. I’m doing my best. I’m embracing the outcomes.
I’m standing on business. I told fear to take a hike. I’m looking for new challenges. I run away from nothing. Life, here I come!

Ask that 🗻 mountain over there. What pile of rocks? Oh, those tiny rocks used to be a big bully 🗻 that was trying to 💪 flex its largeness on me. My supposed “tiny” consistency wore it down.

Note: Stay consistent. See how many 🗻 mountains you can turn back into molehills!
I have been encouraging as many peeps as I can to be encouraged.
Life IS hard. It is what it is, but it doesn’t have to remain that way.
WE can change our lives by doing nothing more than changing our outlook.
I have been fine until I start focusing on frightful things such as an especially tough labor market, my age, and all the other realities that demand to be heard.
I tell those things to shut up. Then, I do what I can. Then, I wait. Simple as that.
Waiting is never simple. Waiting brings out soooooooooo much anxiety and whatifs. I’m learning what to do with the anxiety and whatifs. I’m learning what to do with ME during these uncertain times.
It’s easy to feel helpless. I’m choosing to do the hard thing. I’m choosing to have faith no matter what things look like. I’m choosing to try when everyone else stops. I’m taking the chance on taking chances.
I hope your day is going on fantastically. Make it so. I hear another cup of coffee calling. Take care.

Note: Just because it is what it is doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. Reality yells for me to give up. Hope whispers for me to try again. My heart cries…I’ll try. Ah, God. Where You at? Asking for many friends.
Be encouraged. Hard won’t be hard always. I think…lol
Your life has done so much more than you will ever comprehend.
You see where you have not yet gotten. The Universe sees where you are headed.
Be encouraged. Your best days are in front of you!
What kind of history are you making? Make it a positive one. make it a game changing one. Make it one where people are in awe of your integrity, your faith and your joy.
