Living Who We Were Born to Be
It’s been ‘a minute’… Quickly approaching 2023, my last blog post was in early 2021. My mind has driven me NUTS since then. OMG – it made me feel so bad about not writing during this extremely long hiatus. It seemed like it took forever before I had energy to write. Then I wrote, but …
Have you been feeling ‘off’ or more emotional lately? Do you feel blah, apathetic, melancholic, depressed, and/or lonely? You are not alone. And there is nothing wrong with you! Until early April, everyone is prone to the sensitivities of the Universe’s emotional climate. Because we are unique, each person can experience it differently. I’ve felt …
Emotions, melancholy, and apathy really affected me for about a month. I’ve been in the process of understanding my emotions and melancholy for quite some time.

Thinking about the past or worrying about the future does not serve us. Racing thoughts, fear, stress, anxiety, and depression can all occur when we get stuck in the past or fret about the future. When we succumb to those thoughts, we lose ourselves. All that matters is now. In each moment, presence can guide …
Technology, repetitive thoughts, and being involved in the rat race of life take us away from pure presence. If we get lost in our mind’s chatter, we cannot be conscious. Texting or doing other tasks – while attempting to engage in conversation – also prevents genuine connectedness. Living in the moment requires awareness – ‘being’ …
Gratitude is extremely powerful. It can quickly take us from ‘what’s wrong’ to ‘what matters’ in life by letting go of unhealthy thoughts and being in the moment. Are you present to one thing you are grateful for right now?
