Re-thinking Over Compensating.
Overcompensating leaves you out of the equation. There is no compensation for you. You did more than your fair share. You did not share the burden. You took it on. Took it in. Took it OVER. Pensate is the Italian imperative of think. Com means together or in association. Think of yourself and others before […]
Being formed, informed, reformed or deformed by our emotions
We get to choose. Always. Do we listen? Or ignore? When we listen, our emotions can form, inform and even reform us! When we don’t …..they deform us! Remember, choose wisely.

I need to do it alone
I need to do it alone. This BS mantra I bemoan. I often work myself to the bone. Creating havoc with every hormone. Thyroid, pineal, and progesterone. Rapidly aging into a premature crone.

We go about our tasks with fervency, Having zero amount of conservancy. We accept this “staying busy” with complacency. Allowing our souls an existence of […]
What is enough?
What is enough? This has been on my mind a great deal the past few weeks. What is enough? enough work. enough sleep. enough exercise. enough studying. Growing up believing that nothing was ever good “enough”. I know how to do extra. I know how to over deliver. I know how to run the extra […]
