No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk

My grandma used to say “No use crying over spilled milk” now and then when I was a little girl. I didn’t understand it at first – especially when I hadn’t even had milk. Or spilled it. Be grateful that you can pour another cup of milk. Or that you had a floor, or table, to spill it on. 

Be Here Now

Back in 2014 and 2015 when I was dealing with treatment for breast cancer and the after effects I read “Be Here Now” by Ram Dass and it struck a chord with me. The last thing I wanted was to be where I was then. Tired, in pain and full of fear. I only wanted to fantasize about how my life was going to look when I kicked that cancer to the curb. I wanted to think about all of the things I was going to do.

When You Are Feeling Bad

I know quite a few people right now who are feeling bad – heck, I just came out of a hard time myself. Post election blues, personal crises, major medical issues, depression, anxiety and holiday stress. I know, it’s a lot. And you know what? It’s OK. It’s OK to feel bad. Life is hard and it gets us down from time to time. You’re only human and it’s bound to get to you sooner or later.
