The Power of Hope
FANTASTIC post on the power of hope by Gratitude Habitat! I had a good friend recently project what they COULD be like (illness-wise) a year from now and I found it quite sad as it was a very negative outlook. They said that they were trying to be “realistic” but there really is nothing scientific […]
A touching gift from my AoG peeps….
Over the weekend I was surprised with a beautiful gift from the gang from “Attitude of Gratitude with Chronic Pain.” Here’s my reaction!
An interesting GRATITUDE experiment & talking more than turkey at my Thanksgiving table!
Blessings from chronic pain?
When we are young, we assume life is going to go in a certain way. Perhaps the specifics aren’t a ‘given’, but we have it in our minds what’s going to happen and are pretty sure about that. At least I was. But as we all know, life doesn’t go as planned. If it did, […]
Setting Intentions & Chronic Pain/Illness
Setting intentions is a great way to start your day and can give us a little bit of focus in this chaotic world of OUCH! Sometimes it’s tricky staying focused when you live in the unpredictable world of chronic pain/illness. So many of us feel as if we achieved ‘nothing’ on certain days where maybe […]

Well it became crazy popular on Facebook and […]
Riding on the fumes of gratitude – finding your niche
Do you guys know who Danielle LaPorte is? If you don’t, you should! (And now you will.) Her quotes are something else-so very powerful and breathtaking. She has a way with words that just speaks to me (and millions across the world.) Her famous hashtag is #truthbomb….and there’s reason for that. I was sooo excited […]
Easy on the heart – Part 2!
3.20.17 Hey gang! I thought I’d share this one that I wrote back in January again. I actually forgot all about it, but as I was working on the site tonight I came across it and it was so perfect! I made a new graphic for it because I love the quote by Kristin Granger […]
How a 5 Minute Video from a 16 Year Old Girl Changed my Life
I have a very powerful life story to share with you all that is not my own. It’s about a friend of mine named Mary. If you’re looking for inspiration and only ever read one of my blog posts, please make it this one. I think it might change the way you look at your […]
“In the end….only kindness matters.”
“In the end…only kindness matters.” – ‘Hands’ Jewel This line from that beautiful song by Jewel has always been one of my all-time favorite quotes. As a matter of fact, I’m almost certain that if you were to look in my ‘about me’ section on my Facebook page, it will be the only quote in […]
