Waiting

My morning started with a knock on the door that I did not hear, and my cell phone ringing which is set to not come on until 9am., which means my home health aide was running late. I get up without shoes, rushing to the door, asking who it is-of course it's my aide. As she comes in, I asked her to turn on the coffee. I stumble back to my room, shaky, finding my medication and taking it, I didn't realize the anxiety I felt. After asking her a few specific questions, where none of the responses w

Fill Your Cup-Be Selfish

From childhood on up, most of us are taught to do for others. As a kid we are asked to help with family matters such as chores, helping with siblings, etc. As we get older, we are expected to help with other things such as teammates in sports, other peers at school, and even in our jobs that we choose.

Are You Moody?

Around 6:43 my phone played a Rocky musical theme. It was about a news article, people on Google news about Jada Pinkett Smith saying, “her ego can make her ’vicious’ and ‘mean’". With me, my psychologist called it bipolar, and yes, it’s very nasty. I didn’t read the full article, especially since I have first-hand knowledge of the moody, mean, mind-racing, overthinking person that I was and am still capable of being. If it were not for my faith in

Slow Down and Smell the Food!

Women are so many things; beautiful, charming, helpful, sensual, funny. Women play so many roles; mother, sister, daughter, aunt, niece. Many of us march to the beat of a different drum. My point is, it is easy to get caught up in everything you are supposed to be, but it is so important to know who you are. Do not settle for less. Here at Wealthy Affiliate, we are a large family. The only thing missing is the large dining table completely dressed with linen, stunning china, gleaming crystal pi
