DEAR YOU:

You really need to treat yourself, my dear. You need a break. You need some time to yourself. You need to indulge a little bit, and you need to feel carefree. You may be wondering if any of the above is even possible, and it is. The only thing holding you back is your stubborn determination to get all of your work done. But there will always be work to do, and if you don’t stop and smell the...

DEAR DIARY:

I’ve been in the “scene” long enough to know which crowd I fit right in and need to stay away from. People came in and out of my life for the last years- and I am thankful to those who stayed and still a part of my journey. What have I learned the last years? Let me put it this way: a little bit of cologne dabbed behind your ear or on your pulse points could be enchanting, and...

When I Was Your Man

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now Our song on the radio but it don’t sound the same When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name It all just sounds like oooooh… Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize That I should have bought you flowers And held your hand Should have gave you all my hours When I...

DEAR YOU:

If you could look back on your mistakes and then rewind the clock, you wouldn’t be where you are now. You would have done things differently. You blame yourself, but there is really no use in taking a guilt trip. The fact is that you can’t go back and change anything. What you can do, though, is to figure out how to move forward. Count your blessings, my dear friend and the universe will show...

DEAR DIARY:

A unique set of circumstances have occurred for me. This situation sets up the perfect setting for a new opportunity. I have a “thing,” though, about not being an opportunist. I don’t like to take advantage, or approach people because it offers myself something to gain. But a friend told me I was looking at it the wrong way. He said that whatever lucky break comes my way will...

DEAR DIARY:

Happiness is a choice. Sounds easy, right? Well it is and it isn’t. But we can choose happiness if we want to, yea? If we are afraid to be happy and afraid that if we dive in to joyful feelings then we will jinx ourselves; or if we feel guilty being happy when others around we are not - then it can be hard to smile and really enjoy the world around us. But think of it this way: if you...

DEAR YOU:

You have done your best in trying to make the most of a certain relationship. You have given your all, you have been faithful and honest, you have been tolerant and empathic, and you have been kind and nurturing. But you fear that your best may not be enough to make it work. That’s okay, my friend- because your best is your best no matter the outcome, and it is always enough. You have still...

DEAR DIARY:

Someone has pushed me into something and has nominated me to do something I really don’t want to do. But having been thrust into this position, I now feel obliged to accept my burden. I fear that I will lose face if I turn it down, or I simply be unhappy with myself if I don’t rise to the challenge. But I know that once I make the commitment to take it on, I will probably find that I am more than...

DEAR DIARY:

I may be experiencing very extreme feelings right now. On one hand I am exuberant at the thought of an opportunity that is now developing and that could offer me greater prosperity, respect, and admiration. On the other hand, I also have a lot of unsubstantiated worries. This conflicting state I am in could be coming from my “sort-off” lack of self-confidence, or from the feeling that...

DEAR DIARY:

An eccentric friend has a way of driving me crazy. This person’s antics and the things that he says can be embarrassing to say the least. But when this loved one isn’t driving me crazy, we probably have a wonderful relationship. This person is kind, thoughtful, compassionate, and nurturing. But I am quite dignified and conservative so once the nuttiness begins I want to high-tail it...

DEAR YOU:

You want to hear the truth about something, right? You are asking for the truth. You are encouraging the truth. But you want the truth to be wonderful. That isn’t in your power, though. If you really want someone to give you the unvarnished truth about a relationship, then you have to be prepared to hear everything. Some of it is good, and some of it is bad, but by listening and accepting...

DEAR DIARY:

A risk isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes a big risk pays off in a really big way. But sometimes, a risk doesn’t pay off at all, and may even cause damage to the risk-taker. I am aware all this of course, but I am dreamer, and I don’t always think in terms of risk. Besides, right now - having just entered into a new threshold of my life and a new beginning - I am very eager to...

DEAR YOU:

Flattery will get you everywhere, right? If you are hoping to impress someone, be sure to turn on that fiery charm of yours. It isn’t that your skills, talents, integrity, experience, and personality aren’t enough to get you what you want. You are certainly an intelligent, appealing person and you do have what it takes. But if you want to sway a difficult person - especially one who...

DEAR DIARY:

I won’t allow a faux pas to ruin my day. If I had a slip-up recently, it can probably be attributed to my busy schedule and my efforts to do too many things at once. I am distracted. I may have said something politically incorrect, or let someone’s secret out by mistake, or made a hurtful remark unintentionally - but whatever I said or did, I need to remind myself that it happens to...
