Well Hello There!

Welcome to my little home on the web. In July of 2020 I consolidated all my blogs into one location at BigGirlBlue.com.

The process of tidying up and organizing has been a bit frustrating but I’m slowly working through it. It is like moving into a new home and having someone else unpack for you.

Thank you so much for visiting and bearing with me during this process. I have provided some stuff for you to peruse below and some of it is even new! There is also a handy search button above.

Before you go please follow me on my social media platforms listed in the sidebar. If you tag me I’ll surf over and say “Hi”.

Summer is here and it is hot, hot, hot!

Stop Biting the Tail You’re Chasing

Tolerance
"No matter in what situations we find ourselves, when we don’t have so many opinions and preferences we naturally experience more peace of mind. We feel more agreeable, more comfortable, and more able to fit in with others. When we are more tolerant, not only do our minds’ stability and experience of meditation improve, but the conduct of our body, speech, and mind also improves because we stop being so reactive."
