Why must we believe or think that we’re stuck in a rut when truly we aren’t?

Many times we’re presented with a multitude of opportunities, choices, and experiences in which we’re called upon to make decisions that certainly cause various types of impact within our lives.

Women are not only beautiful and intuitive, but also quite complex between emotions and logic that guide the heart and ways of thinking.

So many times we fall into the trap of declaration, ultimatums, and living in a world of absolutes that are either self-created or imposed on us by others.

Life isn’t clean, it’s actually quite wrinkled, messy, and disheveled.

Life is created by a series of ups and downs, successes and missteps, gains and losses, and interpersonal connections that may last anywhere from a day through a lifetime.

“Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone,” is a profound and beautiful lyric sang by Joni Mitchell in one of her most famous songs, “Big Yellow Taxi.”

When we have feelings of strong affection or perhaps full-blown infatuation is what creates a bond that feels unbreakable towards another.

“The days are long but the years go by fast,” my father said to me as we were walking along a small cobblestone street.

Summer has finally arrived.

Goodbyes are usually thought to be difficult, painful, awkward, and even gut wrenching.

Stop playing. Really, just stop.

Why do many French women make it seem so absolutely effortless at planning and executing a multiple course feast for dinner guests or selecting staple wardrobe pieces that can be mixed and matched in the expression of timeless yet expressive fashion?

We’re human. Each of us are uniquely special for who and what we are, which celebrates our differences.

There is nothing more liberating than dancing a vivacious salsa or a slow bachata in an open air discotheque near the sea on a warm Saturday night.

Usually people fall into two groups: those who are decisive and know what they want and will find a way to get it and those who are indecisive and tend to go with the flow through discovery.
