So, Halloween is almost here, and I have to say I really enjoy Halloween. I love decorating, picking just the right costume, trick or treating, and now handing out candy. I even went trick or treating in grad school (and let me just say the “treats” you get are way different!). Of course, I also love scary movies, especially the 80s movies like Friday the 13th. Although, that might be because I was born on a Friday the 13th. Anyway, I know you are thinking, wait, this is a blog on perspective… Hang on, I am getting to that part.
A Date Is Just A Date Until…
One of my favorite shows was all about a psychic detective. And they did all kinds of parody episodes. I loved all of those episodes. But the one I loved the most was called Tuesday the 17th. Get it? After Friday the 13th comes Tuesday the 17th. Now normally you would not pay any attention to Tuesday the 17th. However, because I saw this episode, I see it in a new light. In fact I always smile now when I see Tuesday the 17th on the calendar (and we have one coming up next month!). And sometimes, that is what we need to do with our lives, look at things in a new light.
Don’t Be Afraid To Shake Things Up
When you feel like things have stagnated and you are just going through the day to day, stop. Then take a step back. Take a breath. And then take a minute to look around and see things in a new way. Find one thing in your day that you can do differently. Do you always do your chores right after dinner? Try splitting them up and do half before and half after. Or how about instead of watching another rerun on tv, read that book you have been putting off. A simple change may be just what you need to move from Friday the 13th to Tuesday the 17th.
When All the Organizing in the World Won’t Get You Organized
Last week I lost an important document I needed. And I will tell you, first it panicked me. Then it made me mad. I mean I am organized. I have bins and baskets and to do lists and chore lists, way too many lists (wait did I actually just say that!). I even have a...
A Fall Tune Up
Fall is right around the corner. Yeah!! I am definitely a fall girl. Maybe because I was born in the fall, I don't know. But I always looks forward to fall. With the first cooler day in August, I pull out my favorite jeans and my long sleeve shirt and get ready...
Where Do You Find Inspiration?
If you have been creating anything for a while, you know there are sometimes when you hit a wall. You just can’t find the right design. For me this is usually the point where I give up and go do something else. Sometimes an idea will come and sometimes I just get...

Is There Any Truth Left on Social Media?
I have seen a couple of commercials lately that seem to be encouraging us to lie. Now they are not coming out and saying that, but what they are saying is that no one needs to know the truth. Let me just say, I think we need more of the truth, especially on social...
