Reiki and Me
April 21, 2022This is my first post since 2022 began. And I’d like it to be where I share one of the things that I did for myself last year and how it has been amazing. It was something mentioned in my Peace Out 2021 post. Last year I made the decision to try to open my heart to a lot of different ways to help me find what I want to do.

Social Media Effects and Uncluttering Them
Social Media is all the rage, right? You have all the accounts – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat (is that still a thing?), etc. etc. etc. Too many to keep track of and pay attention to. The only ones that I…
The More You Read

Lessons Learned About Myself during the Pandemic
Being home for 7 months during this pandemic has been tough. But it has also taught me a lot about myself. It has taught me that working from home, while trying to remote learn with my 6 year old (kindergarten…
Body Image is Everywhere … Take 2
