Finding happiness has been part of my journey for a while now. I have learned that happiness doesn’t come from owning things, or having a lot of money.

Where are the words?
I’ve been absent for quite a while, and it isn’t because I do not have anything to say but more along the lines of I didn’t have anything to say that wouldn’t offend someone or cause tension between myself and a good friend of mine.

How Do You Let Go Of Stuff?

Often times I end up replacing it…but truthfully, those things are mostly cookbooks and kitchen items. The problem is, there is a bunch of stuff in my house I want rather need* to get rid of, but there is a slight emotional attachment to them. Well, that is not true about everything, some of these items I keep out of obligation, they were a gift and I feel like I should keep them. Continue reading

Can’t Change It!
A few months ago, I learned about Hal Elrod’s philosophy of “Can’t Change it!” He has been through some hellish times and each time he is given bad or difficult news, he gives himself five minutes to react and then he accepts his new normal. Continue reading
