I started making money as young as 10 or 11 through babysitting. Never afraid to work and earn money, that was always there. What wasn’t there was the discipline to SAVE money. It was spent as quick as I made it. In my 20′s I discovered credit cards. I lived with my parents until I Read more »

Day 11….I don’t want to blog and I still want chocolate!
My chocolate addiction, will not be cured, in a two week sugar detox. Your sugar addiction will not be cured. BUT, awareness has happened and less sugar will be consumed going forward. This weekend when we venture off the “detox”, most likely a headache will occur, not long after consuming too much. I call them sugar Read more »

Day 10…What replaced the sugar snack?
I have to confess, I have been eating tons of nuts, like cashews, almonds and pistacchio’s!! Thankfully, they are a healthy fat!

Then times like now, I want to do the oral thing, munchie to Read more »
Day 9….Life tends to not care, if you are on a detox!
Today was full of ups and downs. Ironically, leaving a job interview, I got a call from one of my V.P.’s. He was delivering news that I knew was coming one day…… My job was ending this Friday.

Then he passed out a questionnaire, for us to take, to see if we were addicts. I didn’t have a problem with alcohol or drugs, but after thinking about it, decided to relate it to Read more »

Letting Go…
Isn’t life grand with all the wonderful opportunities to grow and change? Sometimes we grab on and take the ride, then other times just let it pass, saying not ready this time. There have been many times in my life, that I would get frustrated with a situation or person and want to immediately cut Read more »
Depression
I have been hesitant in writing about this. However, there are so many people that suffer from it and I need to “pay it forward”, by sharing what has worked for me. Perhaps, I was feeling like since it’s been under control, why bring it up. Also, probably feeling some shame around it, by assuming Read more »
