Perfect in my mind, No need for improvement. I stand corrected.

Light against darkness, hardship highlights joy, And hope burgeons from the mire. Life is full of both happiness and hardships that we must experience. While we might wish we could forgo the hardships, they are a necessary part of life. Hardships can teach us much about ourselves, as well as ensure that we fully appreciate…

Independent, so painful to need help, but asking begets growth. As Americans, we are taught that independence is a good thing, something to be valued and admired. Some of us may be a bit too independent, trying to do everything on our own and not wanting to ask for help. We might think that needing…

Energy flowing, A gradual blossoming from youth thru maturity. Like this flower, our path through life develops more blossoms as we progress.

Wooden walkway leads, Spanning our distant selves, Pathway to self-truth. We all have transition points in our lives. We transition from childhood to adulthood, from single to married, from career to career, our lives are filled with transitions. While each transition comes with its own stress, and some transitions are painful, each transition is such…

Blessings in your life, Visible but often missed. Learning to notice. How many times have we heard the phase, “count your blessings”? Or we should write a “gratitude journal”, to remind ourselves of all the things we have in our lives that we are to be grateful for. Does it occasionally seem that we are…
