Detoxing Your Marriage

The other night, I watched Joel Osteen. He was talking about toxic thoughts. As he was speaking about the importance of detoxing your thoughts, something he said really struck me. Toxic Thoughts He was explaining how damaging bad thoughts can be. How they shut you down, stifle you, keep you stuck, and prevent you from living up to your full potential. Because bad thoughts are toxic ones and toxins build up over time, contaminating your mind, body, soul, and life. But by detoxing your thoughts, you can live a happier and more positive life and therefore a better one. But … Continue reading →

Latin America vs. Europe Dispute Resolved

A few months back I’d written about a the Latin America vs. Europe dispute Wayne and I’d been having. To reiterate: we’ve both been wanting to go on vacation out of the States, but we haven’t been able to agree on where. He wants to see Latin America; I want to see Europe. We finally found a way to settle it once and for all. The Contest Because of the current economic situation, it’s not the best time to head to Europe. I know that. And Wayne really knows that.

Lately I’ve been navigating completely unfamiliar territory: lack of interest in nookie. It’s kind of freaking me out, because nookie has always been one of my favorite pastimes.

Think “Kaizen” and Mend Relationships One Stitch at a Time

I’m not sure which magazine I was reading recently (I want to say it was Woman’s World), but there was an article about how to accomplish any goal, no matter how big, if you just take it one step at a time. The article explained that the reason many people don’t fulfill their dreams or seize their goals is because they try to do too much at once. However, by focusing on completing one small goal before chipping away at the next –or even worrying about the next– people are much more likely to succeed. The article also referenced the … Continue reading →
