What’s Up With Deatri
Over the past year I stepped away from social media. I was still there, but minimally. While I was gone, crazy rumors about myself got back to me. I’ll be honest.

Gratitude Journal
Many nights while preparing for bed, I think of things I’m grateful for. Do you ever do that? I find that even when I’ve had an awful day, picking out the things I’m grateful for often makes me feel better.

Staycations or Vacations
Have you heard of staycations? It’s a vacation where you do things close to home instead of traveling. Well, I think I invented them. Don’t laugh. I’m serious. I just didn’t have a name for it. When I was a kid, I didn’t like traveling during our vacations. We’d go to places I didn’t care…
Random Dee Fact: Me Time!
Random Dee Fact: I love my “Me Time!” “Me time” is that time you take off from the insanity of life to do what you want. I learned about the importance of “me time” after marriage, children, pets, work…. You get the picture. You can eventually lose yourself. I began taking “me time” when I…
