Some things to think about heading into tomorrow …

Kicking up the Favorite Things links on HenryHealing.com ~ and on ETSY, which is all OG one of a kind artwork. If it sells, it sells. I know a lot of people are using Canva (like I did for these) to create quotable, then selling them as digital imprints on ETSY .. which I may or may not do. But really, if people are going to not create their own stuff … well, that’s not my cup of tea. All I…

I’m Writing a Journey #RoadTripToNoWhere on Kindle Vella KH Miller

If we had to choose one job title, mine would be ‘essayist’. Anthony Bourdain Writing is exhausting, isolating, and hard on the keister. What it is not, is hard on our physical body. Working in a corporate world pales in comparison to working in a service industry. Working in a service industry is nothing compared to being a migrant worker. Each job, title and career has it’s own unique…

Social Media. A Curse? Or, a Blessing?

There have been a lot of articles written about adults making friends lately. A lot of YouTube channels that popped up during the pandemic where they are titled, “I’m ____ years old and I have no friends.” There are hundreds (thousands) of pages with this title. Ted talks talk about it beyond the social media debate. Elon Musk put out a talk about why we should delete social media “NOW” right…

Happiness is not a One Size Fits All Idea

One person’s happiness is another person’s misery. The world in its wholeness isn’t supposed to be absorbed all in one bite ~ all in a day’s time. We have to simplify for the sake of our soul. Happiness comes in all shapes and sizes. Why do we try to stick it in a can? How do you sell something to people who already had everything they needed to own it themselves? Religion does that. Belief…

Are you writing for you? Or, are you giving your intellectually property away for breadcrumbs?

Writing for Kindle Vella … you have to be …. full of friends or fire. Kindle Vella ~ KDP ~ Self Publishing ~ Digital Content Creating. It’s a formula and you have to comply or say goodbye. It’s not as easy as they keep promising you it is. Extroversion works. Friend and Family groups that help you share your stuff … works. Knowing people who will “like” your stuff helps you get your…

Insta @henryhealingdotcom When women get to a certain level of awareness in their lives, they stop trying to fit in to the expectations of society. They stop listening to critics and haters. They walk away from toxic people. They realize that mean people suck. They celebrate the little things, but never give up on the big things. They reflect on their younger years, but don’t dwell on…

Sometimes, we need a lighthouse. Storms happen.

When I was 17 years old, I didn’t think I’d make it to 30. It was just a thing I thought. I knew I wasn’t headed for any ‘big thing’ and I was okay with that. Thirty came and went. Photo by Tom Swinnen on Pexels.com By 20, I wanted to live on the edge. I wanted to see as much as I could see and live in a place of fear, knowing it would cultivate bravery. So? I traveled. A lot. Four countries.…

Zoe Saldana’s interview with Amanda de Cadenet was a game changer for me. It came at a time when I was feeling really crappy. I listen to it from time to time as a reminder to keep going. 2012 was the year I had had enough. She so beautifully explained then, that it was a thing for all females. During a really crappy time in my life that lasted a few years … a really crappy few years … I needed…
