Keep Beating

You can look at this title two different ways: You can keep beating which essentially means keep going or you can keep getting beat. Where there is that one person who knows how to get under your skin and they affect you in such a way, you become numb and angry. They ruin your dayContinue reading “Keep Beating”

What Would It Take?

Heard this the other day. What would it take? What would it take for you to change relationships which are no longer working? What would it take to change jobs because you hate the one you are in? What would it take to be happier? Doubt is normal. You get a good idea in yourContinue reading “What Would It Take?”

Not This, This Instead

So, I typed this out and texted it to myself not too long ago. I don’t know if I read it somewhere, which I need to be doing more instead of worrying about how my book is going to do, or “am I doing enough?” “Am I making the most out of my day?” TheseContinue reading “Not This, This Instead”

Dispensing Pills, Popping Pills

You read it! This is going to be the title of my new book. My final draft is done and now my cover is being designed! Waahooo. I am on a little vacation, and I brought a book with me. I had a sticky note in there, and it reads, “Life doesn’t have the problem,Continue reading “Dispensing Pills, Popping Pills”

Chaos

I’m reading the 12 rules for Life by Jordan Peterson, and I came across the word’s chaos vs. order. So, how you best describe chaos is by something that is out of the ordinary, something that makes us feel sad, mad, happy, or just plain different. Order is going about your day with no disruptions,Continue reading “Chaos”

Becoming a Coach

After 15 years of being a bedside nurse, I was burnt out. I was sitting outside on my patio, and told myself, there has to be more to help people than just put band aids on and feed them pills. I was looking through Instagram and a nurse coach program came up and I wasContinue reading “Becoming a Coach”

Outside Sources

So, I did something the other day and I knew it needed to be done because at the time I didn’t think it was affecting me, but then I was remembering what I was like without it. I quit my telegram app which brought me a different type of news, and I also quit lookingContinue reading “Outside Sources”

Avoidance

So, I have a MD friend who gave me a book called, “How to Know a Person,” by David Brooks. Maybe it was the last name of the author and he saw my name and it resonated. No, that is not the reason. When a person reads a book and it identifies with someone theyContinue reading “Avoidance”

Learning How to Fail

Failure…..we have put such a negative connection to this word. Why? I was thinking a lot (which I normally do) the other day and my main failure has been relationships. Why haven’t I ever been married? Am I not good enough? Am I too hard to get along with? Do I have too high ofContinue reading “Learning How to Fail”

I’m Afraid

I texted the title to myself the other day and the other half of this is….to be happy. Why are we afraid to be happy? Another statement I read was, ” I wish that I had let myself be happier.” I was taking an end-of-life coaching course which was amazing because these questions and statementsContinue reading “I’m Afraid”
