Effervescent Musings: Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
**For the month of January I’ll be re-publishing some of my most popular posts from 2015 to celebrate my 1-year blogaversary. Enjoy this Monday Motivation repost!* Beyonce’s oft quoted lyric “I woke up like this” took on new meaning for me when I woke up one morning recently in a very unhappy, disgruntled, discontented mood. Nope, this…
Maverick Mondays–A New Blog Series
Monday Mea Culpa…Well, Sort Of
Soooo…you may have noticed that the posts on the site have been a bit, well, “skimpy” for the last few weeks. A post here…another there…no real sense of normal regularity. In fact, I’m sure some of you have recently come to the site for your regular, weekly, scheduled dose of “fab fizziness” only to end up thinking “Hey…what’s…
Motivation Monday: “H” is for Hustle (But It’s Not What You Think)
You know you’ve heard all these phrases before: “Everyday I’m hustlin’!” “I’ll sleep when I’m dead!” “Grind harder!” “Life is 90% hustle, 10% sleep!” Sorry, but I’m not buying into a single bit of any of that.

No matter how expansive our vocabularies are though, we’ve all had a moment where we’ve wanted to express a thought, feeling, or…
Motivation Monday: You’re Being Childish
In the hustle and bustle of our goal-achieving; task completing; objective accomplishing; success-obtaining lives, far too frequently we forget to take a moment to just live. We fail to notice that brilliant sunrise that’s dancing across the sky because we’re too busy complaining about having to wake up so early or we’re too singularly focused on…
Motivation Monday: Dare to Pursue Your Dream…No Negative Nancys Allowed
**Welcome to “Motivation Monday” where you can get little bits of inspiration for everyday life…sometimes serious, sometime funny, but always “effervescent!”** I wrote a freelance article for a publication a few weeks ago on a relatively innocuous subject. The subject matter wasn’t anything controversial, political, or the type of subject matter that incites intense emotional…
