Sometimes, you just got to!
Whatever it is. Wherever you are.
However you can make it happen.
Happiness is a perspective. Joy is a choice.
Circumstances and people should never dictate the state of mind nor of heart.
Choose what fun you’ll have today.
Choose what goodness you’ll find.
And smile. Even in the rain.

*Late post! We will just pretend it’s Wednesday again. 😂
Growing up can be altogether exciting, challenging and frightening…and that’s just for mom!
This year is full of changes, deadlines, memories and plans, and I’m so proud of our son.
We’re excited for what’s to come, but we’re determined not to look too far ahead that we can’t cherish the memories of yesterday and savor the moments right now.
Wherever you are, BE THERE. No matter how whimsical, joyful, painful or confronting that minute might be.
Learn from it. Soak it in, and if it’s not quite what you’d like it to be, work hard to transform it and use it for your good.
If you’ve found that “sweet spot,” enjoy it and don’t take it for granted!
We never know what will be next!
*A little late to posting today. My apologies.
I saw this picture the other day, and it struck a chord in my soul. Sometimes, we work hard to hide the scars we’ve obtained through the valleys of life. Many times, a scar leaves us with the memory of what is broken and marred. Often times, we try to cover the scar with a smile, a laugh or a seeking to remain in the shadows, thinking somehow, if the scar is never seen, the wounds and the pain will magically disappear as well.
I have found this statement to be so very true. “Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you.”
Growth, strength and healing is all in perspective. Let truth be your guide. Let love be your light, and let hope be your destiny despite the scars with which you travel.
Hold your head high and embrace those things that remind you of the struggle, of the wrestling for the next breath, and always remember, your scars don’t make you a victim, unless you choose for them to be.

My journey didn’t stop with mere time travel or writing; it led me to become one of the most sought-after empaths, a soulful psychic who reads the hidden depths of the human spirit. I’ve been blessed—or perhaps burdened—with an ability that allows me to feel the emotions of people from every corner of time.

Dedicated to movie nerdom, nostalgia, and escape. In the late 90s, I worked at Blockbuster Video where they let me take home two free movies a day. I caught up on the classics and reviewed theatrical releases for Denver 'burbs newspapers and magazines. Today, while raising two young, beautiful daughters with my amazing wife, I look forward to anything rated R and not Bluey. Comments and dialogue encouraged!
