  • That $$$$ buys you happiness

    What’s a common misconception people have about happiness?

    I think it’s clear that money doesn’t buy happiness. I’ve been living gratefully for over a decade. I live each day in the moment, by practicing being in the now. It’s taught me that it takes very little to make me happy.

    Having Mar e Largo face & a shake & bake tan doesn’t make you happy. Being true to yourself does.

    What do I mean by being true to yourself? Treat yourself with kindness & gentleness. It’s not about owning the latest gadget or buying a new wardrobe because something didn’t go your way.

    Doesn’t make you happier just broker & more in debt.

    Happiness is about practicing being grateful for what you do have. I’ll never forget when I was homeless but I had a safe place to shower and it made me feel safe when the shelter wasn’t.

    It’s not about taking what you have for granted but being grateful for it. So you don’t have xyz. Do you really need xyz or is it something you’re telling yourself. Be happy & content everyday not with the future but with right now. That’s what happiness is.

  • To the misguided & stupid

    Let me start by clarifying that I’ve never mistreated either an adult or a child. The fact that I again have to spell this out for you is pathetic. We have 3 cameras at our house. By the front door. Check. Inside in the hallway. Check. In the bedroom window. Check.

    So, if I’m soo bad, even though I’ve never done anything it will be on our cameras. Oh- I recently passed a background check for a non-profit.

    So you can leer out of your windows, talk smack about me all you want But you’ll never get to know how kind my husband & I are. But I know where you live & have had enough of your harassment. I’ve no qualms about reporting your misguided behavior to the authorities.

  • Digging in my archives

    It looks like I’ve someone obsessed with finding dirt on me on my own blog. Sorry- I’m open about everything & I don’t use identifiers. I’ve been doing this since the early 2000s. So good luck with that.

    It’s giving me lots of traction on my site so thank you for that. I’m grateful for your sheer stupidity. I hope to publish my second book in the Fall & you’ve given me a real boost.
