Who is the most confident person you know? I don’t know many confident people. Some pretend. Others cast confident people down,. And what is confidence anyway?

Dear 100 Year Old Me
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Dead 100 Year Old Me, We did a thing! No, we did not bury a body… We found love – within ourselves. Then we secured a handsome young man who does any and everything for us! So far, you’ve had four kids, self published eleven books, created your…
To Do For Myself
What is the last thing you learned? There are many things I can do, but I was lacking in what I can do for myself. I had come to a point where I stretched myself thin, always seeking to seem pristine, and helpful to others. The last time I was cast down because I couldn’t…
How Do You Find Time?
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. When I first heard the question, I laughed at it. But now it’s annoying, and I have many reasons as to why. I have always created, so I considered asking where I find time to be on the sly side. Perhaps I should ask how…

Being Overly Independent
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. It really is ok to do things on your own…but there are some matters where you do need help. This phase was hard to let go of because I was certain it sustained me, but it really only kept me in the dark….
The Horizon
Am I walking through a desert…or am I close? How to know? I think it’s a feeling you get. A pattern you broke. An inherited mess you cleaned without harming others. You realize you’re feeling things the way you did when you were free – like when I was 12. Everything was a daydream and…
Impossible
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? And here’s why – Your world is created by your reality – your brain. So the word impossible, to me, is a paradox. Lay down your sob stories of limbs that won’t grow back, or people waking up from…
We Did It
What advice would you give to your teenage self? For certain, I would tell her that all the terrible things people told us about ourselves were to stop us from being great. That no one deserves your kind of love. And that dressing how you want doesn’t need others opinions – especially with how unhappy…
