If you sometimes feel a need for an extra boost of confidence, consider creating an alter ego. An alter ego is a second personality or character that a person develops to help them cope with certain situations or to express different aspects of their personality. While some people may view having an alter ego as …
Your interpretation of reality – what happened at any specific point in time, your current circumstances, and your future potential, is just that, YOUR interpretation. Let that sink in for a minute. Your interpretation is created based on prior experiences, beliefs, and how much value you attribute to those beliefs. The fact your spouse is …
One of the most challenging things for me is people who appear to want a better life but don’t want to make any changes to get there. It’s as if they think if they weren’t born with it, why bother? And then they spend their time blaming others for their lack of success. It’s challenging …

People are genuinely concerned about the high cost of . . . everything. And rightfully so. With the cost of gas, those people commuting to work are wondering how to fit groceries into the budget. And don’t even get me started on home ownership. You may be thinking it’s time to start that garden you’ve …
While it feels like I’ve been on a life journey for self-reliance out of necessity, it’s also both practical and hugely beneficial. As we watch what is happening in Ukraine and Russia, and pay attention to the cost of inflation in the US, it’s not so far-fetched to think about what could happen if we …
So, you want to change your life but don’t know where to start? What if I told you that of all the things you can learn today, this week, month, or year, there is one thing, that if you master it (focus on “if” and “master”), will completely transform your life? Sound too good to …
I’m six weeks into an experiment of how long I can live off the food in my house. This experiment was prompted because I had stocked up on food items during the Pandemic of 2020 and two years later wondered just how long I could live off this food if I had to. I also …
