About me

I live in California on the central coast.  I am a mother of two.  My goal was to become a life-coach and at the same time, transform my own life in the process.  Recently, I made a career change and got my Masters in Social Work.  I am currently living with my two children and starting this next chapter.  I enjoy writing, and especially enjoy writing about experiences, challenges and what I've learned along the way.

Red Flags

Image
It's been on my mind lately to talk about red flags.  We all know about them, we've all heard of them, but do we really know what they are?  Some of us, without a doubt, can see one, and know for certain they've hit a red flag.  And for some, it's a dead stop in a relationship or situation.  While others, will recognize it as a red flag, but proceed forward anyway.  Still others, will not even know they've come across a red flag.  Now, red flags can be deceiving, and what one might think is, another would not.  I thought it would be helpful to call some out here, and some what I'll call "pink" flags which means not necessarily a "terrible" sign, but something to be cautious about. Red Flags: Does not ever see any person from their family Does not pay child support for their kids Pushes, hits, kicks or in any way physically abuses you Goes for several days without contacting you back, without reason You catch him/her in a flat out lie ...

There are certain expectations of how a person should show grief when they have lost a loved one. However, grief doesn't work like that. There are people who are sad, depressed, some who are in shock, some who are relieved that their loved one is no longer in pain. There are those who are angry, those who are in quiet pain, those who do not know what to do. We don't really know how we're going to grieve until it happens to us. Each person deals with each grief differently Something that struck me years ago, after I had two of my closest family members pass away, was h...

5 Things You MUST DO to Stay on Your Diet and Exercise

Recently, I have gotten back on the wagon of health. I have spent a lot of my life highly addicted to sugar, and in the not so distant past, found myself 20 lbs overweight. I had never felt so tired, and so sluggish in my life. Currently, I am working out at least 5 days/week, and am eating a much healthier diet. I know what they say about diets: it can't just be a diet, it has to be a lifestyle change. That's absolutely true. Diets come and go, but changing the way you think, changing the way you accomplish your goals, is what is truly going to change your life forever. Below, I wrote about the 5 things you must have to stick to your diet and exercise: Have a big enough why This is really important. Your why, is the underlying reason you are doing any of this in the first place. Do you want to look and feel better? Do you want to be able to wear your favorite dress again, or have more energy? You have to have a reason WHY you're doing it all (in any sit...
