The snow is falling, and there is a light coat on the ground. I can see the slow, cold flakes falling from the sky. How lovely it looks. Makes me think of this time of year, the Christmas season, and there is no more perfect way to start than with a little snow. It creates magic at Christmas. Although many things create magic at Christmas, for me, a light snowfall is one. I love the feeling and the beauty of the snowflakes falling from the sky. The coldness and the quietness. It is a beauty that we should enjoy. And then you add Christmas lights, and how the lights reflect…

I often ponder this question. Many people ponder this question without ever getting an answer. Life is full of questions and surprises, and it is not something we can completely define. Yet there are some things that do make life so much more meaningful. Life is not the amount of money or stuff you have. It is not about your looks or being with famous, good-looking people. It is not about being famous. It is not about being the best or accomplishing a bucket list. It is not about having the highest education or all the awards. Life is not about material things.  On the other hand, life is the…

They say we are a reflection of our choices, and I say this has a ring of truth. Everything we do and say, every choice we make, builds us and makes us who we are. People can say that they were raised this or that way. However, it is your choice to keep that as an excuse and stay like that. In a relationship, this is very true. How we react defines how the relationship goes. So our choices, whether to react or not, have consequences on the relationship, good and bad. We should never stop ourselves from discussing how we feel with our partner. But how we approach the…

My book Christmas Angel has been re-released, and the new version is ready to be purchased on Amazon now. I’m sorry for my absence last week. I was on vacation.

With everyone getting ready to dress up and go to parties or trick or treat with their kids, it makes me think about the olden days and masked balls, how romance can even appear in a place where no one knows who you are, how two people can find a connection and not even know each other. It is fun to see how someone can find a partner in life without even seeing them at first. This is not something we see all too often anymore. However, it is something to think about. Just imagine, finding your true love without seeing who they are. It is an interesting concept and…

Appreciate the little things in life, for we only have one life. We need to learn that it is okay to be busy, it’s okay to have fun, but appreciate every moment you are here. We need to look at bad situations as learning experiences and challenges. See the world as full of possibilities. We need to watch out for those we care about and spend time with all who you care about. Time is precious and we only have so much. So see the little things in life, the good grades your kids have to the coffee you bought yourself on the way to work. We do not need…

Autumn teaches us the beauty of letting go. Growth requires release—it’s what the trees do.” Ka’ala As the trees change, we see how much life can be an ever-changing thing. Life is all about change. We learn and grow for ourselves and within relationships. It is time to see how life needs to change. As the trees get ready for winter, we are also needing to get ready for the next step in life. So like the rees, we need to learn and grow, we need to let go of the old and move into something new. We need to see where is our lives change is needed and become…

Fall has arrived, and what a great season it is. Well, it’s my favorite season because with the chill in the air and the trees changing color, it is perfect for adding a little romance to your relationship. One thing I love doing in the fall is going on walks. Holding hands with your partner, seeing all the beauty that is outside, makes the romance come alive. And what better than being outside than coming in to a warm cup of hot coffee or tea, snuggling with your partner, sharing the moment. Talking and sitting with each other is a wonderful way to enjoy each other and grow in the…

Being in a relationship can be frustrating. People disagree and fight, and it can cause a person to become angry and yell. But yelling only makes things worse, makes people defensive. It is always better to remain calm and not yell. This can be hard, but is important for your relationship. Both partners need to learn how to communicate with each other and not yell at each other. Yelling is a toxic way of handling things. However, the healthy way is to remain calm and talk things out. So if you value your relationship and want you and your partner to grow together and not a part, then good communication…

There is something to be said for being in silence. Having a quiet moment is vital for everyone. No, you won’t die if you don’t get a moment. However, I say it’s critical because it gives us time to ourselves to think, to rest our minds, to give ourselves time. This is crucial for maintaining a healthy mental state. And when we have a good mental state, we can be a better person to our partner. This can be what makes or breaks your relationship because when we cannot find time to clear our minds, we may make mistakes or do things that we can regret. In a relationship, it…
