Once upon a time…
When I was young, I was a shy, timid child and often felt out of place. Almost like a colorful sock that shows up in the dryer; you know it doesn’t belong to you but don’t know how it got there! At the time I didn’t feel colorful, I felt like the ugly duckling; I wanted fit in but often felt unwanted. It was a scary feeling and one that was developed as a result of growing up in a chaotic home. My life was like a roller coaster ride; at times uneventful, often chaotic and always unpredictable.

Science has landed a probe on a comet hurtling through space, wiped smallpox from the face of the earth, and split the atom. Surely research can come up with a few ways to make humans happier.
Thanks to the advent of the relatively new field of positive psychology, science has been doing just that for the last decade or so. Researchers are churning out studies on the underpinnings of human flourishing, pinpointing what makes people truly happy, and offering actionable suggestions to help people become the best, most joyful versions of themselves. Here are few of the field’s recent discoveries on how to be happy.
A friend called me the other day frustrated about a situation that happened at work. She was upset and angry, and as she told the story, she asked me, “Don’t you hate it when people say, ‘It is what it is’ when you’re mad about something?” I couldn’t agree more.

I’ve been practicing meditation and providing intuitive readings and lately the theme that has been throughout all readings are directed towards loving oneself. This can be the hardest thing, lesson, and or challenge that a soul will ever go through but its needed to learn because once it is learned, accepted, and practiced the world will be a different place. It’ll emulate outward because it is originated from within. It’s a simple concept, yet so difficult to grasp. Be the love you desire; your desire to see out into the world. If you read anything else today just remember to L-O-V-E.
When I was growing up, the dinner table was an important part of our daily routine. It was as regular and expected as church on Sunday. You just did it. Nothing teaches patience and tolerance like being forced to sit across from the sibling that just stole your favorite baby doll and tore its head off. Yes, there were glowering, glares of hatred and threatening nods of “just wait…” while grace was being said and everyone else had their eyes closed. But somehow, by the end of dinner, all was well with the world. And life went on.
Success is our happiness.
Success. Happiness. Two things we get crazy about.
Money. Something we get really crazy about.
We are driven by our ideas about success, happiness and money. Driven to succeed. Driven to have money. Driven to be happy. Often, at all costs.
Dear readers,
The thinking of some people is this once an individual decides to crossover from singlehood into the realm of a monogamist relationship, the word self cannot be used to describe him or her. Why? Because where there was once 1 now there is 2, and self no longer matters. The perspective of others is that the act of being selfish has no place in a relationship. In other words, people who are engaged in a bond of wild romance, and sexual intimacy should think only about what is good for the ” relationship.” Individuals in a relationship should not act on their own or speak for themselves because their behavior would be considered to be selfish. Therefore, what affects the individual will trickle down to the relationship. Because where there was once 1 now there is 2.
