Birthdays Matter
It seems as though the older we get, the less we care about our birthdays. When we were little, it was an exciting day when little Abby’s mom came in with cupcakes and candy for everyone singing happy birthday. It seemed like the best day ever! Or how about those Saturdays when your mom would take you to your friend’s house where fifteen other kids were running around chasing each other and playing with little toys from their goody bags while the parents sat at a picnic table chit chatting. It seemed like the time didn’t last long enough. You never wanted the party to end. Just pizza and ice cream and friends forever.

Why Gratitude Is Important In Life & Relationships
I love gratitude. In fact, I express it constantly and consistently to those important around me. Gratitude was never my strongest suit in my childhood years. But as I grew older, I found that gratitude is not only an important feeling to have—it’s also essential for others to feel it.

Not another mid life crisis
I’m not a fan of the term “crisis” and all the negativity that implies. It doesn’t have to be negative though, if you are using the definition of crisis as a “danger” and the more palatable “opportunity”... even if those opportunities are dwindling rapidly. I’d like to say I experienced it as a “wake up call”. In many ways it’s just .... that feeling of “is that all there is...?”

The Golden Owl
I’d gotten there as fast as I could. As soon as I received the call that they thought he might not make it through the next day, I dropped everything and headed immediately for the farm. My grandfather had always been like quiet magic. He had a way of calming everyone and everything around him. When I was a child, I could swear he calmed the wind with just his hands. It seemed he could revive a dying crop simply by placing his hands in the soil and reciting one of the Native American chants handed down by his grandfather, mixed with his quite magic was his ever-present and reassuring sense of knowingness about him.

A Life’s Helping Hand
Through it all I’ve learned with my life growing and changing so vastly day to day, that in reality we all chase dreams and we all struggle to achieve in times through life. So instead of trying to find the one thing that makes or breaks my abilities. I’ve decided overall the biggest things I am able to do is be me. With being me I personally have had a life with struggle and hardship and mistakes that lead to progress and betterment. However in that I have had some of the hardest struggles to become who I am today and with that comes wisdom and knowledge. As well as understanding to life that goes on. I feel that, that could be of help to anyone, even if just to help motivate or inspire them. To smile to laugh, to buckle down and get through the dirt and the grime that comes out our way as we continue through this journey. So sharing could help someone else to. Sharing my accomplishment and my downfalls. Sharing my rights and my wrongs as I maneuver this life. And I hope that I can motivate others to better love themselves and what comes into their life as they grow as well. So to this I start my journey here on vocal. A view unique but a message that can run as far as the largest sea. So join me?

New Year, 2021
The end of 2020 brought no better news than the beginning. COVID-19 changed the lives of people around the globe. I myself, still have trouble figuring out what I just went through this last year. I was fortunate enough to keep my job, although I did lose income. I lost my vehicle and had to put payments on hold I was hoping to get resolved.

Pink pig tails and a ponytail dress
A pink dress and pigtails, not she. Is she a feminist? She wondered. Biased? Or merely jaded? She wondered why her interactions with the masculine have been, historically, combative, argumentative, a fight on subjects such as principles, morals and boundaries. It seemed so random, she thought, she wondered if the others in her tribe were approached with similarity. She wondered how they might respond and if it brought them satisfaction, resolution and shared enlightenment or were the interactions an extension of a deeper darker undertow?

2021's Rough Embrace
Pain has never been my master, but for the last eleven years she has been my most intimate and unforgiving teacher. It’s taken me a long time to learn to live on her leash, and even longer to learn how to loosen it. While 2020 was a year of set back after set back, and seeming nightmare after nightmare, it gave me the chance to make peace with failure.

How to Develop Mental Strength
A lot has actually been exhibited about the concept of the mind and establishing psychological strength for higher success. Everybody knows a great deal of the literature with regard to the law of attraction, mastering the mind, and developing exceptional practices to last a lifetime. Truly establishing these practices routinely in time is rather difficult.
