When I was young, very young I was diagnosed with ADHD, in fact I was one of the 1st females ever diagnosed with it. At the time it was a challenging diagnosis, My parents were told that if I worked really hard I could be average. They didn’t believe it, they always knew that if […]
Original 6/2009 Post: Why is it that its ok to make fun and yell at Men on TV but not Women? I don’t think it should be ok for either. I don’t really know what is going on with the whole “Jon and Kate plus 8” think I’ve only seen 1 or 2 episodes and […]
I was talking to a friend last week (now 2 weeks ago) after my Grandma passed away and in that conversation I mentioned that I was lucky to feel sad. It really hit me when I said that.

I started cleaning it up only to realize […]
Writing this statement was no small undertaking for me. Its a concept I learned from Chalene Johnson’s 30 Day Push (a free training FYI. ) I half wrote it several times but I finally got the whole thing done and just in time to help me make a very big decision. My number one priority […]
Note: This post took me a few weeks to write, I completed it yesterday at work and then last night we had another ‘bump in the road.’ After dealing with that as best as we could we got to enjoy a few moments of our girls laughing and giggling together sitting on the rocking chair. […]
I’m reading a new book “The Devine Commodity” by Skye Jethani. I’m only into the 2nd chapter but I’ve already found some great talking points. Here is the first one I came across that I wanted to share. “One of the main problems is that in this chatty society, silence has become a very fearful […]
Monday I wrote about how refreshed I was feeling after taking some time for myself this past weekend….I guess I took my own advice when I wrote this post last week. Self care isn’t just for Mom’s or care-givers, EVERYONE needs to practice self care to some degree, if all you do is […]
