Just That Simple.

The other day I read an article about how people restrict what they can do or be based on age. “I’m too old too…” is what we may think to ourselves, or even say aloud. I once had a friend who was 40 years old tell me he was embarrassed that he liked rap music. … Continue reading →

(Love) Note To Self

Hello Beautiful People, This week I am not my normal energetic self. I am emotionally spent and physically tired. With everything going on in the world — threats of nuclear war, hurricanes, mudslides, total destruction, political high jinks, unjust actions and protests, sexual harassment of women — adding to my stresses, it’s a good time to … Continue reading →

Courage Ain’t Easy

A few days ago, a prominent Hollywood producer was fired for alleged sexual harassment that reportedly has spanned a decade. Why did this go on so long? In a word, courage.  No one had the courage to stop it. Every day, there are complaints from members of Congress that Donald Trump is not just unfit … Continue reading →

Why I Kneel

Hello Beautiful People, I simply must take this opportunity to comment on the controversy around sports figures kneeling during the national anthem and the comments of the resident. The kneeling is to protest inequality. I think we all acknowledge racial inequality exists in this country. But the controversy is not about inequality! The controversy is … Continue reading →

Please Dream Big

Hello Dear Hearts! My message for you this week is: Please Dream Big. It sounds simple. We hear it all the time these days. We see it  on t-shirts and plaques. But it is actually more difficult than it would seem. It requires many of us to retrain our brains, to undo a lifetime of … Continue reading →

Mean Girls

Earlier this week I was partaking in one of my favorite guilty pleasures – reality tv. (Don’t judge me! lol) It doesn’t matter which show it is, because certain personality types are always present. One or more mean girls seems to be necessary to make the show interesting. However, when life imitates art, it isn’t … Continue reading →

Ray of Hope

It has been about 10 days since I last posted.  I have what I was going to write but current events compel me to write something different. People are worried and stressed out about what is happening in our country. There’s enough stress to cover  us all! As this is a blog about support and … Continue reading →

Hold On To Houston Love

Hello Beautiful People, As a nation, we are all watching the horrible hurricane Harvey disaster unfold in Texas and now in Louisiana. You can’t be human and not feel an outpouring of empathy for those caught in the torrential rains, floods and the aftermath thereof.  The stories of rescue after rescue, neighbors helping neighbors and … Continue reading →

From Hate to Hope: Learn to Love

In 1965, Jackie DeShannon sang a tune written by Hal Davis and arranged by Burt Bacharach: “What the world needs now is love, sweet love, It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of. What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No not just for some but for everyone.” Over 50 years … Continue reading →

From Hate to Hope: Heather Heyer Takes Us Higher

By now, the entire world is familiar with the events that occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia. Watching white supremacists march and yell hateful phrases was frightening and disgusting. Hearing the president’s Tuesday remarks was hurtful. Explaining both to my teenager made me cry. There are many stories of racism from my family that migrated from the deep … Continue reading →
