154 and counting: Let’s be random
I’ve had a hard week and it’s not even done. I’m tired and cranky. Yet, I’m also dreamy and streamy. Oh wait. I have no idea what that means. I’m sleepy. Yes, sleepy. Running on empty. Hoping for a change of course. What shall, no one knows. I’m […]
I love New York, but this morning’s walk was tough

Been missing the excitement formula
I am the type of person who gets excited about being excited. I like cheering myself on while also boosting others. I like the taste of joy. I recently read that excitement is a mixture of enthusiasm, motivation, intuition and creativity. That seems about right to me. As […]
Compliments and opinions: both give others power over you
