We have been lied to. It took some figuring out but I finally got there. As we grow up, the world and society tell us that we can do 3 or 5 things in life. There are limitations put around us, like cages. The latter are invisible, but they are as real as they get. …

THE POWER OF NO.
Don’t worry. This isn’t a negative message. I like saying yes as much as the next person. Perhaps, I am like most people, I say yes too often, even if I don’t feel like it. I guess it is the “pleasing gene” in me, a gene we all have. We want to please others, we …
I CANNOT TRUST SOMEONE WHO…
I cannot trust someone who doesn’t have childhood friends. Allow me to clarify that statement: I have a hard time trusting someone who has alienated all their childhood friends. It happens to be one of the weird theories I hold dear, a theory that I won’t let go. Unfortunately, this theory of mine seems to …
You Were Just Lucky.
If you have never starved in your life, that is, if you have eaten every day of your life, If you were able to get an education, If you have never been abused physically or sexually, If you have always had a roof over your head, If your parents were kind, loving and respectful to …
YOU WILL NOT WIN EVERY FIGHT.
Stop thinking you will win every fight. You cannot, and you will not. This isn’t pessimism, it is realism. No one, in the history of humankind, nay the world has ever won every fight. We are not meant to win every fight. That is a statistical impossibility. You can google it, if you want. It …
TELL SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM.
I have a task for you, it is an easy one. Tell at least one person that you love them today and please, make it a habit. We all have people we love: a child, a spouse, a parent, a friend, a boyfriend or girlfriend, a grand parent, and the list goes on. I love …
I GOT CHECKED!
Oh, how awesome is life when days go by and you are unchallenged! Oh, how wonderful it is to be living a life of leisure and not encountering any problems! It is marvelous until a little hiccup stands in your way and makes you uneasy. All is well until the skies turn gray and heavy …
CLOSURE
Let’s talk about closure. Why do all of us have such a rough time with closure? I have a theory that I would like to share with you. I believe it is simply because we are looking for closure in every situation in our lives. Yet, if you sit back and think rationally, something that …
LETTING GO.
You must let go. Whatever it is. You need to let go. Just let go. If you hold on to bad memories or poisonous people, your heart and mind will succumb to the negativity. Do not go believing that your heart and mind are any different from anything else; they do have a breaking point. …
ANGER AND OUTRAGE.
As a writer and an artist, there comes a time when you need to explain yourself on a subject. I am not prideful enough to believe I shouldn’t or will not explain myself. Sometimes, it is necessary. Clearing the air is never a bad thing. Sometimes, the subject matter can be ambiguous, rough, or explosive …
