For example, when it comes to eating healthy and/or foregoing the junk, instead of saying, “I have to avoid junk food and eat more veggies,” replace that “have” with a “get,” and the sentence has an entirely new meaning and mindset.
Or maybe you view exercise as [...]

I’m a singer.
I think I can safely say that because I love to sing, I get asked to sing, and I even get paid to sing.
Now, as to whether or not I am an outstanding singer is a matter of opinion. I believe I have ways to go before (or if) that can happen!

Friends, fun, fireworks, and lots of food!
My husband and I have been invited to a friend’s house out in the country for the Independence Day weekend, and I’m hoping all the above mentioned will be involved.
I was asked to bring a dessert, and I accepted with some mild trepidation. As a die-hard sugar addict, desserts [...]
