I LOVE rainy days...

The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.  ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I’m taking a few days off to relax and rejuvenate.  I’m on the East Coast of Florida… and it’s raining. When you take a trip to the beach you think of days and days of sunshine – bright – [...]

Fairy tales – Real or Rumor?

“‘Know thy self’ may not be the best; A pinch of self-delusion it turns out is an important ingredient in the happiness recipe.” – Eric Weiner  quote via twitter@bmccall17

It’s not about you, It’s about me – Self Love

I think we spend too much time thinking about what another person is thinking – what’s their motive, where are they going, how do I fit in?

Joie De Vivre – The joy of living

The joy of living involves your whole being in anything that you do.

I love my life!

Every morning I write a paragraph of all of things that I am grateful for, and for the feeling of having everything that I want.  I have been doing this for about a year.  Slowly I noticed that I have made some changes, and that I do have the life now that I want.  I [...]

–Henry Ward Beecher

Last night I finished Eric Weiners book – The Geography of Bliss, One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places in the World. I have to say that I know longer feel the need to travel to the happiest [...]

New Year’s Resolutions, Self-Help, Self-Improvement

Year’s Resolutions, isn’t it just another name for self-improvement, or self-help?  I want us to go beyond the losing weight, saving money, or any other top New Year’s Resolution.  I want us to be happy, and doesn’t being happy encompasses many things.  If we were truly happy, wouldn’t it be easier to lose New weight, [...]
