By Nicki Sanders | May 17, 2021 | Comments Off on Why Would We Ever Trust This ‘Honor System’?

Human beings have flaws. Human beings innately want to protect and do what is best for themselves. Our world is filled with love, hope, compassion, and care but it is also filled with hate, fear, selfishness, and individualism. We’ve seen centuries of war and colonization.

By Nicki Sanders | May 16, 2021 | Comments Off on Quarantine Television Viewing: Any Day Now

I’m sure I’m not the only person who watched a lot more television over the last 14 months. During the quarantine, I rediscovered Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven.

By Nicki Sanders | May 15, 2021 | Comments Off on Rediscovering That I’m Not New To This!

My “spring cleaning” resulted in me rediscovering workbooks I created for my clients and Mother’s group participants in the early 2000’s. This week I came across a workbook that I created for my Mother’s group where I hosted a two-part Women’s History Month celebration. I’m not new to women’s empowerment!

I am not the same person I was five years ago. Or three years ago. Or one year ago. Neither are you – and that’s a good thing! We are in a constant state of change and the goal is for that change to be an improvement. Have you stopped recently to think about how […]

Nicki’s Top 10 Old-School Hip Hop Songs

By Nicki Sanders | May 10, 2021 | Comments Off on Nicki’s Top 10 Old-School Hip Hop Songs

The 80’s were my favorite decade. During my teen years I really came into who I am as a person. Teenage Nicki had a confidence that escaped me for about a decade but is now back. Imposter syndrome was nonexistent. I was so sure of what I wanted in life but that’s not the purpose […]
