A Call for Attention ~ Negative Emotions

November 20, 2016 By Kim Cox

positive negative responses emotions

Sadness, anger, panic, scared, anxious, envy, hate. . . Nope. Not me. Don’t have any of those. Don’t want any of those. I am positive and happy. Don’t send that poison my way. Honor, conviction, fairness, energy, focus, task completion, awareness, vision, release, relaxation, instinct, intuition… Yep. That’s me. I want more of those. I […]

A New Way to Campaign

November 10, 2016 By Kim Cox

Campaigning About You? Is it possible for candidates to run a campaign without talking (I use this term lightly) about why I shouldn’t vote for the other? Can we envision a new way to campaign? Could any of us really “sell” ourselves without any regard to another? In the fall of 1976, I was a […]

Bouncing Up and Down or Trying to Escape

October 4, 2016 By Kim Cox

bouncing up and down

I think and write a lot about trusting your gut, your intuition or your feelings. It can be tricky trying to figure out if you have it right. I am not talking about right or wrong, just if you are aligned with what is right for you at this moment.

egg yolk hearts

  Ever notice that if you or someone you know gets a new car that you “suddenly” see so many of that same car? Why is that? Was there some huge sale on that model car? Interesting, isn’t it?

Why I Like Friends of the Opposite Sex

September 20, 2016 By Kim Cox

friends of the opposite sex

I have always preferred guy friends over girl friends. Mainly because I hate bullshit or, more specifically, fake bullshit. That doesn’t mean guys don’t bullshit, but they pretty much let you know they are bullshitting you from the start. Girls, not so much. They dress it up, put lipstick on it,  and parade it around […]

Is it Really Easier to Beg for Forgiveness Rather Than Ask Permission?

September 13, 2016 By Kim Cox

having difficult conversations

Yep, if you are the one begging. Know why? It is because you didn’t have the courage to start a conversation. You let the fear of thinking that the other person would never give you what you want, so you take it. Wrong, just wrong. You would probably be the first person going off if […]

Exuding Energy and Absorbing Energy

September 6, 2016 By Kim Cox

exuding energy and absorbing energy

We all exude and absorb energy and we all are more naturally adept to one or the other. Whichever one isn’t natural for you, that is where your work is. Since I absorb, I am writing this from my point of view. I mean no disrespect to those that exude, rather the contrary. I know […]

When Other People Think They Know What Is Best for Me

August 30, 2016 By Kim Cox

own your mistakes

Someone manipulating me into something they believe is best for me is the number 3 thing that pisses me off pretty quickly. Seriously? You think you know me better than I do? Especially if that someone is a person that holds a degree, certificate or position that they think entitles them to fix me, with […]

Bulk Buying or Bulk Living?

August 23, 2016 By Kim Cox

bulk buying toilet paper

Who doesn’t like a well stocked pantry and refrigerator? It is a wonderful thing to never hear, “We are out of toilet paper. Use a paper towel.” The thing is, we over buy. We buy so much that we simply don’t need and we most certainly will never use. And this goes way beyond toilet […]

Socially Acceptable Farts

August 16, 2016 By Kim Cox

socially acceptable farts

Pretty catchy title, don’t you think? Guess who I need to credit for this phrase? Not our 10-year-old boy (or the 21 year old;-), but our family doctor. When we first heard her say this, we giggled (as I am sure you did too, as would the 10 and 21 year old). The thing is, […]
