Welcome to My Blog
“Listening to your heart’s desires isn’t some new concept… it’s not my idea… it’s in centuries old teachings. My friends on this site have modernized and mastered it. They’re my inspiration. My journey, has been about aligning my life and being open to receive what’s in my heart. It needs to be a daily practice for dreams, wants, and hopes to come to pass. That’s alignment. ” - Tanya Bittner
New Day
You have a fresh start today! Whoo hoo! Leave the insecurities, self-loathing, fear and regret behind you. Be less serious and more playful! C'mon, just do it. Forgive yourself. Look in the mirror, and smile at who you see :). G'ahead... smile... just a...
Emotional Purging
This is crazy! When I first wrote the story below, it was mid-way through September. Hadn't published it because I don't publish everything I write... but, today (10.10.16), when I logged in to write a new post (At Peace) - I saw Emotional Purging in the "drafts"...
Yes, You Can.
You can be accomplished, you can succeed, you can wear different hats at the same time (or not), you can be a provider, you can be a leader, you can recover, you can find love, you can rebuild, you can get in shape, you can be healthier... Yes, You Can. Do not...
Lose the Wretched Feeling
Before yesterday, it had been awhile since posting - and that's due in large part to the blessings of projects at work, some enriching opportunities, and lately, f i n a l l y, some free flowing creativity! But man have I been aching to get back here to you :). The...
Alignment Time
The kids are back in school - yipee! I miss them, sure. But I'd be flat out lying if I said I was sad. I'm not. At. All. Freedom! (chuckles - hands up) Seriously though, I know there was a time when the girls were smaller and I whaled uncontrollably at the idea of...
Let’s Make a Deal
How are your thoughts helping you today? How are they helping others? The very definition of positivity is being "constructive in intention or attitude". Synonyms for positivity: useful, productive, helpful, worthwhile, beneficial, effective... If the word...
Thinking Positively is Work
It is. Work. But if you knew the benefits of positive thinking, you'd never have a negative thought ever, ever again! - Said someone, I'm sure. Ok, c'mon... that's not entirely true because you're human. You'll experience or even cause, negativity. I...
Empathy
It's so easy to be judgmental, isn't it? Easy to think the worst of a situation or person, jump to the wrong conclusion, misinterpret something you heard or read, neglect to tell someone about your expectations then get annoyed when their not met, impose your moral...
Chill
We're on day 13 of being away from home. Four more days to go. It's been so much fun and very rewarding!! But it's also been challenging - as extensive travel can often be. Sleep patterns are crazy, digestion is wonky, space is limited, there's an undercurrent of...
Curiosity Can Kill the Cat
I've always been somewhat of a Curious George. Yearning to learn, uncover... understand. It's no coincidence then, my life path has presented me with so very much to learn, uncover and understand. From personal circumstances like divorce and the death of loved...
