Today is a Good day to Renew yourself Just as trees shed their leaves in winter and renew themselves, the mind can shed its prejudices, barriers and renew itself. - Radha Burnier Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! Every day is a day to renew yourself, your thoughts, your behaviors, and your focus. Truth be told, I feel like I am doing just that regularly. Consistency and focus are my Achilles’ heel. I  envy people who seem to have it more together than I do, but then I remember to turn that energy inwards so that I can work on myself. I have been writing about the need to stay focused and get refocused for as long as I can remember. It is not something that will ever go away.  The reality is, we have to be comfortable with the need to refresh and revisit. Just as nature goes through cycles, so do we, while some of us may have shorter refocus cycles than others, that too is alright. I think the thing that can easily get away from us is realizing that we a...

  Collect Experiences, Not Stress — That’s Where Living Begins  Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. –Rabindranath Tagore Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform !   This is a beautiful way of saying enjoy the journey. This is a poetic way of saying count it all joy. This is saying seize the day. This is saying everything is a lesson. As I move through life and gain wisdom along with every strand of gray hair, I am learning to embrace this more and more. Really, I am learning to understand it more and more. As the world gets smaller through 6 degrees of separation and social media and avalanches of information from around the world and headlines meant to pull and tug at our emotions, the one thing that is unchanged, no matter where we are or what we are going through, is that the sun is going to rise and set. Life is going to keep on keeping on. Everything is going to keep on moving. ...

Today is a good day to talk about our joys! Talk happiness. The world is sad enough  Without your woe. No path is wholly rough.  ― Ella Wheeler Wilcox Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform !   Today is a good day to be positive. I am not talking about ignoring our problems or propagating toxic positivity. I am talking about thinking of the good things in life, having a different perspective and practicing gratitude.  I do love that quote from Ella Wheeler Wilcox because she is basically saying yeah life is rough but it’s not only rough. There are moments of joy and happiness that will carve out for ourselves. We have a habit of talking about our woes and pushing our woes. That’s why click bait is so popular because it tugs on our emotions and the more negative the better.  Talking about our problems is our greatest addiction. Break the habit. Talk about our joys. — Rita Schiano I really like to vent. No. I feel like I need to vent sometim...

Oftentimes, there are things we want to do. There are places we want to go. There are goals we want to accomplish that may seem unattainable. Sometimes, when we look at the situation we are in, all those things seem dang near impossible. I get that.

The Matrix movies are probably my all time favorite sci-fi movies. I was super excited when they announced a reboot, Matrix Resurrection. However, Matrix 4 was mid. Now they want to attempt a Matrix 5. Ugh ... I'm not feeling it. I want to feel it but sometimes well enough needs to be left alone. At this point I don't even remember what Matrix 4 was about. But I do remember giving it a 7 and if they bring back Wonder Man, I may still watch. I'm lying, I'll watch anyway. Are you ready for another Matrix? Matric Resurrection Review
