Sassy Spirit

Do you have a traffic ‘tude? I mean. . .I am a from Jersey and Philly, so it’s no wonder. But I know it’s not just here that we have it. And no, I don’t yell at other drivers, I just talk to them in a sassy manner, they just can’t here me. I start out with…

Oh, ladies especially. . .don’t you just love saying no. I mean saying no is so empowering, but so damn hard sometimes, except with our children, of course. It comes really easily to some women, but not to me, so I had to study the art of saying no by seeing how others did it. …

What does Mercury Retrograde mean? This is when the planet Mercury slows down, and appears to stop (station) and move backward (retrograde). It’s an optical illusion, since there is forward movement, like speeding by a slow-moving train, as it recedes, it appears to go backward.  It’s fun to read up on stuff and feel what…

I make myself wrong in certain places still so easily. . .money and parenting. Achilles heels. . .am I doing enough…could I have…

Pretend you’re a princess or prince right now.  C’mon, just play with me for a few minutes.  You won’t regret it.   Life’s too short not to have fun.  I’m putting on my sparkly fairy wings, my jeweled crown, my superchick cape adorned with sequins, lined in leopard print, as I hold my gold =filled diamond fairy…

This was my actual dream before I woke up today.  I dreamt that I had to go to the grocery store.   I went yesterday to one and my hubby is going for me to another one today.  Five kids means LOTS of food. I wasn’t even in my car, but rather a car I drove…

I don’t know about you, but in my twenties, I thought you really couldn’t be thin enough or rich enough. You may have wanted to be a THIN-king or THIN-queen. I learned that being thin didn’t make me happy, so I figured out more money wouldn’t make me happier either.  Losing weight just makes you…

Yesterday I turned 37.  I got a lotus tattoo on my wrist. With my grateful heart, I am open to receive even more blessings. Feeling amazing and made a decision to go full steam ahead and co-create even more with God. Then I almost had a panic attack on the way home as I felt…
