3 Assumptions Joyful People Need to Make

|

OK,  I know most of us have heard that we are not supposed to make assumptions.  I'm sure you've heard the saying when you assume you make and ass out of you and me. No one wants to be and ass right? But I challenge this.  Making assumptions isn't bad if you make the right assumptions.  Here are three assumptions all joyful people need to make. Assume it's them and not you.  We all  have had experiences where we have felt rejected in some way shape or form. … READ MORE

Make it Happen Monday: Making Sleep Happen

|

NaBloPoMo is hard!  No, I have not quit, but I did need to take a little break.  I took the weekend off.  My brain just felt plain old tired.  Not quite like a headache, more like too weak to think about anything of substance.  Rather than just write a less than stellar blog post for the sake of NaBloPoMo and writing every day, I gave myself permission to have a couple of days off.

Remember To Chase Joy

|

As many of you know this month I am participating in NaBloPoMo with Blogher.  Today I decided to answer one of their writing prompts. What do you hope people remember about you after you're gone? Initially I was going to skip this prompt.  It sounded a little morbid.  But then I thought "after your're gone does not have to mean after you have died. It can mean after you have gone as in left someone's presence.  That, I think, is a much better and less morbid … READ MORE
