Let’s talk about loving yourself. Weeks ago I got into a car accident. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and insurance covered our car, but I was furious with myself for getting into the accident. My husband repeatedly said, ‘Accidents happen and they’re out of our control.’ Sounds reasonable right? Then why, six weeks later, was I […]

Let’s talk about envy. It’s not talked about much, but is crystal clear when someone is feeling it in his or her voice, expressions, or actions. Envy is such a poisonous feeling because it’s a mixture of love and hate. You love that “thing” or person the other person has but you also hate that […]
