I am using a pseudonym because I am still hesitant to use my real name (in case my writing is really crap and I don't know it) and to protect my privacy and that of my loved ones who will most likely be mentioned often in my writings. I am a teacher, crafter, and traveler. I am into self-help literature. Recently, I have become a wanna be minimalist, but my inner demons are fighting me on this. I looooovvvvveee things, especially beautiful things. I keep telling myself, "Yes June, it is beautiful....that doesn't mean you have to bring it home." It works sometimes, sometimes not. I love helping people riddle through their emotional/relationship issues. I don't actually have any actual credentials (other than being a high school teacher for over 14 years), but I do have A LOT of personal experience. For instance, I am a great cook. When someone asks me how I learned to cook, I answer, "By lots of practice.... burning or messing up many dishes until I sucessfully figured out how not to do that." So let's just say, I've been in the trenches of the emotional "no man's land". Been there, done that.....I now have the view of an eagle, the wisdom of an owl, and the peace of a dove.
Jesus said, “Come Follow Me” I’ve always thought that he meant simply to be a follower of his ways….to love one another….to follow the instructions in the bible, etc. I’ve come to think of it as much more. “Follow me” has a much deeper meaning if you look at the smallest of details. Jesus performed miracles … More Co-creating Miracles in Your Life
Hi friends, I hate racism… My first introduction to it (that I recall), was in the 3rd grade. I remember the kid’s name, though I won’t say it…he may have changed, grown…..in which case he doesn’t need to be bashed….in many ways, I now recognize that he was a victim as well. Anyway, I was … More Nonetheless
In light of the current situation with the impeachment trial, I’d like to invite readers to complete a litmus test, if you will, of the participants in this modern debacle. In the bible, Jesus says of determining who or what is false, …”by their fruits ye shall know them.” from Matthew VII. Here is the … More By Their Fruits
Sometimes people tire me……namely people who are content to go along with the status quo…….people who don’t intend to strive to be a better person today than they were yesterday. What a waste of potential! There are many areas in which a person can grow….relationships, work, mental health, spirituality, physical health, parenting, education, and just … More What does ignorance have to do with addiction?

Sunday, September 23, 2012 The way I see it……..a person’s words are a person’s ultimate power……words spoken, words read, words heard, words written, words……. I love words! A lot has been coming up for me lately about the power words hold. When I keep getting a replay of the same info from different sources and … More The Way I See It…

Anne Frank—one of my most revered historical figures and writers. If Anne Frank could make this statement, I believe we can stretch ourselves to be happy in almost every circumstance…………….and live a more quality life as a result. I can be happy that I am hungry right now, because I have food in the kitchen. … More Whoever is happy will make others happy, too. — Anne Frank
Today, I am writing about annoyance…..How often are you annoyed in a day’s span? Many times, I would guess. Does everyone need to know…..maybe. It could be like a dog’s growl, a warning that you are going to blow. Or can you talk yourself down from that ledge? Do you have any self control? I … More Annoyance….
Well, here I am in an oddly comfortable, dream fulfilled point in my life. How did I get here? I have no idea. I couldn’t have foreseen this nor planned it better myself. I waited……and what I mean by “waited” isn’t what you might initially associate with the word. #1. I laid low……#2. I accepted … More Acceptance, patience, and waiting……
