I was recently floating in the outdoor pool at a local hot springs resort when I heard a loud voice shouting,

“Honey, you will love this, it’s just like lemonade.”  I got curious who this voice belonged to and where this person found this delicious lemonade, so I opened my eyes and what I saw was an excited mom handing her young toddler, who was happy playing on the pool’s steps, a plastic cup of cucumber water.

How Can You Relieve Stress? Start By Releasing Judgments

Judgment

Stress cannot be avoided. We live in a 24/7 world and it’s just unrealistic to believe you can eliminate, reduce or avoid stress.  In fact, believing you can eliminate, reduce or avoid stress will only stress you out more.

Put Down The Flail

The Object Of My Wrath

My flight was delayed and there were two lines forming. I’d just spent the week prior doing five photo shoots in the sweltering heat of Texas but I was having the time of my life.
