In my last post, I talked about limiting beliefs and how I need to have confidence in who I am. So it turns out I am good enough. First up, I auditioned for the next local musical. There were over a hundred people that went for it. After not getting into a couple of shows… Continue reading I Am Good Enough

I recently tried a free guided meditation about getting rid of limiting beliefs. It made me realize there’s one consistent thing that holds me back in all aspects of my life.

When my marriage started breaking down and my life was at its lowest point, that’s when my Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) began. This is my IBS journey… Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always had toilet issues. I would always sit there a lot longer than most people.

After so many years of being miserable, my life has really turned around the last couple years. And for the first time in a very long time, someone asked how I was and I said really good!
