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
Holiday Happiness

Divorce: When Negotiating Turns to Manipulation
I wrote about how difficult it can be to negotiate during and after divorce in my post on the High Conflict Personality. Especially so if kids are involved. Sometimes it's both parties who can't comprehend the spirit of negotiating but oftentimes though, it is just...

Let your soul come out to play this week! It's Monday and for some of you it will be manic, others less so this time. As you enter your work week, and yes, stay at home moms W O R K... Try and find room to feed your soul. Your soul needs refueling...
Positive Thinking ~ ya, ya
This is no lecture... It's just some Tuesday truth for you... You already know what you're about to read anyway 😀. It's easier to live in fear and worry than it is to live fearless and worry free. It's also easier to think negative thoughts than positive ones....
