I don’t have a BFF (best friend forever). Sure, I have good friends, confidants, acquaintances, and three sisters even, and I know who my go to person is based on what I’m going through. Break-ups, good news, bad news, job stuff, humor… there’s a friend for that. When my daughter asked, “Mom, who’s your best friend?” and I was stumped.…
Goodbyes are hard, but necessary at times. As difficult as they can be, they can be rewarding as well. Sometimes we hold on to things and relationships for different reasons: Sentimentality Obligation Guilt Fear None of these adjectives appear positive, right? So things in your life trigger these emotions constantly, are “tingles” that may urge you to investigate your feelings…
I recently started working at a local restaurant as a barista/bartender and the idea of it excited me to no end!!! In my second fictional book, one of the main characters is a bartender and PI, private investigator. While only on the receiving end of a bar, I hadn’t had the experience of hosting a bar, so when this opportunity…
Determined to lose the weight I gained after taking meds to address the DVT and PE I suffered, I took to the gym. I had to surrender to what my body needed: I worked out four to six times a week with a series of cardio, core and resistance training. Six months later and after a bout of food poisoning…

There was a commercial, which is odd for me because I tend to fast forward passed these, however, this one caught my eye, and the words: UNAPOLOGETIC CONFIDENCE. The words resonated with me in a…
Let’s face it, if you work 30-40 hours a week, you spend most of your time with co-workers, and if you don’t get along, this can make for very tough weeks on end. Did you know that the number one reason people will leave their jobs, is because of their disdain for his or her boss? It’s true. Working…
I wrote an article a while ago addressing this topic for women http://trustingthetingles.com/my-take-on-five-promises-every-woman-needs-to-make-to-herself/. Several people asked me, “What would your advice be for men?” While I think what I wrote for women can benefit men, too, there are inherent differences between the sexes, therefore, my advice is different. And do know, what I’ve written for men can benefit women as…
Most people assume that the opposite of love is hate. When you hate someone, there are lingering feelings present. Even if you think you want to see the other person suffer in some horrific way and be in pain—it’s typically because you’re in pain. Maybe you had grand ideas and dreams for the future that will not come to fruition,…
