When you’re feeling lazy
You've worked your butt off all week, and now it's the weekend. The last thing you want to do is be productive, use your computer, or do chores. So you let some things slide, and decide to be lazy. Come Monday, you regret this because now you still have all this "adulting" to do on ...
Do you make time for nothing?
I recently read an article in the New York Times about the "case for doing nothing" and it made me think --- when do we, make time for doing "nothing"...not checking our phones, not watching tv, not making a to do list, just nothing. It seems like a foreign concept even to myself, I realize ...
Do people change?
I've heard many times from folks, on TV, etc that "people don't change" --- that down in their core they're always going to remain the same. If they're stubborn, they will remain that way. If they're selfish, they won't adapt to the positive. To some extent I believe that to be true. If someone has ...
Get out of that funk
Feeling a little not yourself? Cranky? Frustrated? Moody? It happens to the best of us.

why you shouldn’t regret anything
Why are regrets such a pain...? Regrets take up time and toxic energy. They make us self doubt and self blame ourselves for things that are no longer ours to control. They're already in the past. It's time to move on. Regrets consume us, and take us away from priorities and better times that could bring us ...
Would you rather be a lifetime movie or a hallmark movie?
Well let's think for a second....lifetime movies are typically a little outrageous whether it's psychotic nanny, jealous significant other, kidnappers, and so many other crazy scenarios you dream will never be something you encounter or live through yourself. And then there's Hallmark...a cycle of love stories told from one inn owner or cupcake maker to a ...
An Alternative Ending in our Life Stories
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. Have you ever watched a movie or a television show and thought, “It would have been great had it ended this way, versus the way it did?” You think about how great that alternative ending could have been had the director or producer just gone in another direction. Life is kind ...
