Square Footage
Are you just as happy in 600 square feet as you are in 6000 square feet? Driving a old Chevy vs a new BMW? Can someone be happy with less with this constant bombardment of advertising, and the constant comparisons between friends, coworkers and families. It’s tiring and disheartening at times. If you’re successful, you…

It’s Mine!!
So many times I catch myself wishing I was three years old and able to get away with that three year old behavior!!! I want to say “it’s mine” or “give it to me”…and snatch something from someone. Or just even say “I don’t like you”…and almost get away with it. Haha! Growing up is…

Mom & Pop
There was a quote that stayed with me recently. “The ceiling of one generation is the floor the next one can build on.” It might be slightly paraphrased…but you get the idea. So many of us look at the generation we are not in and think…”what do they know?” Either you are in a group…

Survey?
Just a quick note to ask you, the reader, about what you think. I have noticed that my posts can be heavy at times, and maybe not so relevant to the title of the blog…Wanderlust.

Gifts
What is your gift? I’m not talking about spiritual gifts at this point. Are you musical, artistic, good at dance? Are you good at growing things or baking things? Do you enjoy crafts? Decorating? Designing? Maybe writing? Drawing or photography? Have you developed any hobbies that relax you and give you sense of satisfaction? And…have…

Language of Love…
Books and I go back almost 40 years. It has, and continues to be a fantastic relationship. However…there are only a few that have stuck with me through the years. One of them comes to mind when I thought about this blog. It’s the book, “5 Love Languages” , by Gary Chapman. I’m sure most…

Standing Apart
The other day I had a high school moment. I said hello to someone and they avoided eye contact and barely spoke to me. There was a sudden feeling of inadequacy that came over me….what did I do? Wasn’t I cool enough? Was she avoiding conversation because I wasn’t invited to something that I knew…
