    My Year of Wigs

    2020 unleashed a series of events that took me by surprise. Although my intensifying struggle with my hair had been brewing for some years, epic health crisis, the emergence of COVID and lockdowns emboldened me to try something equally dramatic. After years of wrestling with my hair, I decided to give up the struggle and explore the unknown territory of wearing wigs.

    8 Secrets to Creating Lifelong Love

    February 2021 is upon us, and I have fully embraced the love theme of Valentine's Day by decorating my home in an unprecedented way. There are pink flowers, white ribbon, hearts, lights, candles, and traditional colour-themed candy. Everything that speaks of whimsical romance and creating lifelong love and it makes me happy. Walking down the aisle almost three decades ago, my husband and I may have been voted least likely to succeed in marriage, but somehow we beat the odds. This season has me feeling grateful while contemplating our lives together and what secrets we might share about creating lifelong love.

    Serial Dieter: 12 Diets I Tried And Failed At (And What I’m Going To Try Next)

    Confession: I am a Serial Dieter and this is a list of the 12 diets I’ve tried and failed at over my lifetime. Nutrition is an overall health-related topic that needs to be included in this blog but as a serial diet failure, I was delaying as long as possible. How could I write about something that is a glaringly current personal struggle for me? Who is going to listen to my “sage” advise on nutrition when I am obviously not following it myself. The initial intention was to wait until I had a better handle on my eating habits and had lost a significant amount of weight, but today I realized that this is a journey meant to be humbly shared. You need to know what I’ve tried, what I’ve failed at and what I’m going to try next going forward.

    New Year Goals: Daring to Dream Again in 2021

    As December drew to a close and 2021 was dawning on the horizon, I was decidedly shy about emotionally investing in new year goals. I have always advocated making life plans and daring to dream, but my optimistic agenda was drop-kicked and knocked unconscious last year. When I woke up, the world had changed, and so had I. Still, nothing inspires dreams and new year goals like a pristine, blank calendar and the promise of a fresh start.

    Preparing for Winter

    Nothing about 2020 has been normal. Life has changed significantly in the wake of global events. Regardless of faith, political leanings, social-economical status, race or life season, 2020 has had an array of events and ripple effects that have touched us all. Everyone has a different spin on who is to blame, what decisions should be made to hold those people accountable, how our society should move forward and what we can personally do about it. Our debates about COVID, politics, vaccines, guns, masks, end-time events, racial issues and the host of topics that divide us are important and need to happen. I’m not minimizing that at all. It’s just that I can only control myself and my own decisions at the end of the day. I can use my voice to express my views, but ultimately, I need to continue with life’s survival routine: Eat, sleep, work, and connect as we navigate these unprecedented times. This blog post will not delve into those issues because we could theorize all day long and accomplish nothing meaningful to help with the most immediate question at hand: Are you preparing for winter?

    Group Support or Sabotage?

    My friend eyed me inquisically, and I found myself unburdening years of negative experiences trying to connect with hobbyist groups in search of "support and encouragement." It was apparent that I had found precisely the opposite. Not that all these groups were terrible and didn't have support to give. Just that they were too intensely focused on their own agenda to welcome someone who didn't share their cult-like devotion or think outside their formula of success. Sometimes it was just collective limiting beliefs that I chafed at, and when I proved them wrong, I found myself facing suspicion or outright jealousy. Instead of group support, I'd encountered varying levels of sabotage.
