Link below article. There are so many reasons that we all need to learn the truth about pleasing others. There are few things thatContinue reading “Narcissism in Relationships”

I ran across this image and laughed out loud due to the irony of it. I know it’s supposed to be humorous in the fact that all the numbers say “1” but the verbiage on the door is the most humorous to me. Narcissists do not seek treatment! If you find them in a shrink’sContinue reading “🚩 Facts 🚩”

If you read yesterday’s blog The Power of Positivity then you know my story about my break up with my professional relationship. Here’s the rest of the story. Even though I was triggered by the phrase “panned out” regarding my project and I felt they were speaking negatively over my dreams and prayers, deep downContinue reading “Growth is the Power of Positivity”

This is my affirmation today. I need to read this, hear this and say it daily to make up for the years lost to the negativity that was spoken to me. That was the old me. The new me speaks positivity to myself and only allows positivity from others about me. I did not growContinue reading “The Power of Positivity”

Are you part of an audience by listening and interacting with the accuser or perhaps you are an enabler? I would like to continue on the same subject but expand and talk about enabling. SinceContinue reading “Pontius Pilate”

There is a therapist that I follow on social media and she recently shared this post that resonated with me. It’s as if I spoke these words out of my mouth. The toxic family members who smear you conveniently fail to mention how much you did for them, how good you were to them, andContinue reading “Are You Helping Make the Kool Aid?”

Those who know me know I’m a sports fanatic. One friend called me a sports junkie. I am usually watching football, baseball, or basketball. I grew up watching football, wrestling, and boxing. In my younger days, I took golf lessons, played golf, and was an enthusiast. My golf game was less than attractive so IContinue reading “The Power of Silence”

Resisting change is our norm and I believe the older we get the more challenging it becomes. But why do we resist it? Fear perhaps due to the unknown.
