Are You A Queen or An Imposter?

Royalty, a Gucci handbag doth not make. — Help! I’m watching “worst Tinder dates ever again” on YouTube and I can’t stop! There seems to be a never-ending flow of them, and they’re all so darn clickable. On a roll, I click on one story after another of loser men who were unbelievably disrespectful, controlling, looking for some…

Not Knowing is the Reason You Can Succeed

Hope is the fuel of life — “Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.” — Laini Taylor Have you ever wished you could look into a…

We’re Dating, Right?

Don’t let yourself get sucked into a situationship — At least, I thought we were dating. He asked if he could buy me a milkshake. He kept the communication going through text, then he asked to take me to dinner. After that, the times we saw each other increased to pretty much every weekend and sometimes on weekday evenings…

Why is the Sound of Rain So Relaxing?

It’s more scientific than you think — I love the sound of an early morning rain falling on the roof as I lay snuggled under the soft covers. It’s so relaxing to lay there warm and dry while the heavens wash the earth clean. The sound of rain makes me feel peaceful yet, inspired but I never…

People Have Started Calling Me an Orphan

It will happen to you one day, too — My father passed away three weeks ago. My mom passed away six years ago. Those are such short, simple sentences, but they hold a world of memories, feelings, and life lived. Both times, people offered condolences and hugs. They shared their stories and memories with me. I made the call…

Lounging on the Beach Makes You More Productive at Work

Go ahead, take a break — I sure could use a vacation, how about you? The last few weeks were tough and I’m emotionally and physically exhausted, but I’ve never been good at taking time off from work. I’d say it’s a mix of fear that if I don’t work every single scheduled day, I might…

When You Want to Live A Freelancer’s Life

But you’re not sure how to do it — I’m still trying to figure out how to get momentum going on the wheel of freelance. I see people posting their success stories saying they read a Reddit thread and answered it and suddenly they made $5000. Another person made a pitch to a magazine and sold a story. Then…

People Say They’re OK but They’re Not

But do we really want to know how they’re feeling? — “Are you doing ok?” People asked me that all the time after my mom passed away. Or “How are you doing?” It was meant to be kind, to show that they cared. At least most of the time. Sometimes it was obvious that the person was just saying it out…

That Takes the Cake!

The saying goes back farther than you may realize — “Well, that just takes the cake!” When you think about it, that’s a strange thing to say. I mean, cake is pretty incredible. If I was offered one, I wouldn’t turn down its delectable, soft sweetness. However, the phrase carries a connotation of signaling the most incredulous, the most…
