A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog dealing with my conflict over whether to remove my excess skin or love it. I had decided not to pursue any more elective surgery in pursuit of society’s idea of the perfect body. My mistake was to tell my female medical team this. All of the womenContinue reading “Confidence”

Streaming? No Thanks!
Happy Easter! I am about to show my age in this post. Que the classic rock on muzak now: I have had cable off and on since it became a thing in the 1980’s. My family was the one who had the cable service that featured on three channels (not including the three major networks).Continue reading “Streaming? No Thanks!”
Protecting My Peace
“Be ready to lose it all to protect your peace.” As noted in my earlier blogs, I’ve been doing a lot of adulting these past few years. One thing I realize is that if something is upsetting my peace, either change it or accept it. Nothing changes by complaining about what is happening to you.Continue reading “Protecting My Peace”
Bad Habits
“The process of building habits is actually the process of becoming yourself” – James Clear I’m in the process of reading the “Atomic Habits Workbook” by James Clear. My level one tai chi class is reading it for this section of our training. I have three bad habits that I know I need to change.Continue reading “Bad Habits”
Welcome to the Humility Corner!
Hello everyone! I’m your host, Peace. Hopefully, this will not be a reoccurring feature of Sparrow’s Playground. Today’s lesson is about the adolescent adult behaving badly, LOL! One of my new mottos is “I don’t have to be wrong for you to be right.” I heard the quote a long time ago from the RabbiContinue reading “Welcome to the Humility Corner!”
Soul Surgery
In February, one of the podcasters I was listening to said, “You can’t heal without having the conversations. In 2025, I started having difficult conversations with myself about my opinions of myself, my relationships, and the stories I told myself, in the past and presently. I know I can’t rewrite my past. What is doneContinue reading “Soul Surgery”
Wake up!
On this last week of Black History Month, I thought I would discuss the idea of prejudice and stereotypes and how one combats them. I know some people say they are not prejudiced and/or do not hold any stereotypical ideas, and they would consider themselves to be “woke.” At one time, I would have consideredContinue reading “Wake up!”
Happy Spiritual New Year!
I know you’re probably thinking, “What is Peace talking about?” This Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, were Christians observe prayer, fasting, and almsgiving for the forty days leading up to Easter. I know some of you are saying – who cares? I get it. When I was a pagan I didn’t pay attention toContinue reading “Happy Spiritual New Year!”
Stop Being Lukewarm!
Howdy partners! A quote I heard last month was, “If the only people who can talk about religion are perfect, then no one can speak about religion.” I know people may shun organized religions because the leader and/or followers are hypocrites. However, people are hypocritical (including you and me). We literally tell our children, “DoContinue reading “Stop Being Lukewarm!”
Gratitude
My podcast quote for this week is “The solution to complaints is gratitude.” When I heard this quote last week, I deeply understood the podcaster’s message. In high school’s senior yearbook, I was given the title, “Class Protestor,” because of my love of arguing about social issues and injustices. I still love debating things peopleContinue reading “Gratitude”
