Monday Thoughts…

Dust Yourself Off

No matter how dark it gets… the sun always comes up eventually.  The clouds part and the rain dries up.  The air feels a little cleaner.  Everything seems a little brighter.  Washing away all the dust and dirt…  it can be a good thing.
Focus on what matters.  Tell those you love that you love them. [...]

Affection ~ Inclusion ~ Control

I’m embarking on a new RL challenge that has been serendipitous. I always love that – when you get the exact tool you need – unexpectedly. The new challenge is joining a Children’s Challenge Speakers Bureau for the United Way here in Arizona. It is something I will volunteer for – but [...]

More Junk Mail Treasures

Good Morning Monday

Again with the radio therapy… sorry folks.. my life is filled with commute and my commute is filled with music. The louder the better. Keeps me sane in the 45 minutes of stop and go traffic one way.
A new song and a really old song crossed my path today. The first – the [...]

Things I Didn’t Realize!

Sometimes I just relish mornings where I can get to work and breathe deeply… having survived the chaos at home to make it to the serenity of my desk chair and actually finish complete thoughts. Then… I jump from one thing to the next – so excited about being kid free for the moment, [...]

More Therapy Thoughts From Commuting

One of my favorite things is to turn up the music so loud in my little car that people wonder what I’m up to on my daily commute. No, I don’t have the bass that makes your chest pump. I don’t even think I am really affecting those around me because it is [...]
