Waaayyyyyy back in the start of 2020 I wrote about some of my plans/goals/ideas for the year here. If there’s something I love in life, it is COFFEE and goals. 🙂 One such implementation took the shape of me limiting my Starbucks spending. I put $100.00 on my Starbucks app virtual “card” at the start […]

Romance Redefined
Recently in conversation, I realized that we often speak of “romance” or “romantic” gestures but really it’s incredibly poorly defined. I even looked it up, and “Romance”, “Romantic” and “Romantically” have all got similar vague definitions. Romantic (as found on dictionary.com) – of, relating to, or of the nature of romance; characteristic or suggestive of the […]
Countless times in life we will experience being hurt by another. Whether by friend, family, a lover, or even a stranger, we will find ourselves at the receiving end of some pain. This comes in many forms but I’m focusing on that pain which comes from intimate/romantic relationships. In the wake of heartbreak we can […]
Your outside world will match your inside. Unknown I have heard this quote before, but was reminded by Mark Groves podcast recently. I know that for myself, this has been (annoying to admit) true. This can also be something that’s hard for us to accept, if we aren’t ready or willing to admit that we […]
Sometimes it takes feeling a little pain/discomfort to remind us of WHO we want to be and HOW we will get there. This happened to me just last night/this morning. Yesterday I went golfing in the afternoon with a friend. We may have gotten into some beers while we had our round, and then continued […]
For years I wanted to be older, and now I am. – Margaret Atwood There’s some truth. I remember thinking when I was young(er) about how much I wanted to “grow up” and do all those “adult” things that seemed so fun! I can’t really say if things turned out how I expected, or anticipated, […]
Many times in the course of our lives, we will enter into relationships and over time that dynamic will change. It may completely run its course and the relationship will end, or perhaps the dynamic will just shift, such as going from a friend to a lover, or vice versa. These friendships, work related, or personal/romantic […]
Gary John Bishop is a writer and personal development focused leader. Watching him speak, I heard something that made me really stop and think. “If all your relationships are a reflection of you, how well are you doing?” Oh ok, FINE GARY! In examination (and retrospect) it’s easy to feel vindicated by our bad behavior. […]
Sometimes we look at couples and say “they are just MADE for each other” or “they are gonna be together forever” … and others we seem to think “they won’t last” or “they don’t seem truly happy” – but none of us can ever really know for sure. Sometimes the ones that seem so unlikely […]

Artistry
Science is how we solve problems, but Art is how we cope with them. – Unknown Beauty – it’s all around, we just have to be willing to look up, look out and APPRECIATE it. Our world right now is fraught with dark feelings, ugly exhibitions of mistreatment and fear, but that does not negate […]
