We all have to deal with difficult people at some point in our lives. Some people are chronically difficult and it is best for your own mental and emotional well being to limit your time with these people as much as possible. It is extremely wearing to be around people who are difficult on a regular basis and it can wear even on the most positive optimist. Even if you must spend a lot of tim

We all stumble through life trying to figure things out from the very beginning. One of the first things that we learn is that when we cry someone tends to our needs.

We all start at the same point and we all must learn about life through our experiences and through our interactions with others. These experiences c

Let me say that again in case you didn't
I see a lot of bloggers who comment on blog posts who don't have their picture show up next to their post. If that is the case for you and you would like to see your picture up I have good news, it is very easy and I am here to show you how to do it! It's called a gravatar which means Globally Recognized Avatar. You can set yours up quickly enough to come back here and post and show it off! Let
We all run into times when we need some extra energy and though it may be tempting to grab a mocha, energy drink or candy bar to give us that quick burst of energy we all know that those are not the best ways to energize ourselves. The crash that inevitably comes is a clue that our bodies need something else. Thankfully there are many different ways that we can naturally give ourselves a physic
Have you ever thought of complaining as a habit? Complaining is actually an addictive behavior. One complaint leads to another and and another. After enough complaints your mind begins to desire and crave those thoughts. It's very similar to the way your body works with other things such as food, exercise and even drugs. If you eat healthy foods and exercise regularly your body will want more o

Grief isn't something that we like to think about but it's part of life and it's something that we all deal with from time to time.

When I first heard about WorldVentures I was very skeptical and had no interest in getting involved with any type of business venture because I was already extremely busy with the home preschool that I was running more than full time. The last thing that I wanted was anything that was going to take up more of my time and I had no interest in spending any money either. Can you picture me sitting
The question often arises among bloggers: Why use WordPress as your platform for blogging? What is so great about it? What does it have to offer that others don’t? Why should I use it?

Today's challenge is more of a call to action than something that needs much blogging. Since part of the reason that I'm posting each day's challenge is for my readers who may be interested in following the challenge themselves I am still going to post about this and of course share the link to the original challenge post!
