Don't let others tell you how to think or feel. You know what is right for you. You cannot live your life worrying about how everyone else feels or what this one or that one thinks you should do or be. You are held accountable for you, no one else can live your life. No … Continue reading Others

For what are you thankful?
I mean really examine your self and your life and think of your blessings. You might have to look hard at first. That's okay. We have evolved into beings who always look for the negative...it's easier to concentrate on what goes wrong instead of seeing everything that is going right. This was for our survival; … Continue reading For what are you thankful?
Change
I do not like change. I am a routine person. I do the same things every day; any change and my whole day feels the ripple. It sounds selfish, but I need my alone time. I get to work early so I can go to the gym alone. No, I'm not obsessed with weight; I'm … Continue reading Change
Shine
Let your light shine... We can do nothing on our own; anything good from us comes from GOD. When we are blessed to live according to HIS command, will and purpose for our lives, we are allowing HIS light to shine through us and be an example unto others. This is not "good works" of … Continue reading Shine
Backspace
It takes courage to step outside your comfort zone, to do something you need to do for you. Don't expect encouragement from others; expect the opposite. Your haters will say things to your face and spread rumors behind your back. They will hope you fail because that would validate the lies they believe. And you … Continue reading Backspace

I'm just passing through and with prayer, my path can be made easier. But... Prayer alone will not change my circumstances. I have … Continue reading PCT
Vibration
Everything that has life moves. Even with solid objects, it is the vibration of the molecules that give shape. Movement is imperceptible by us, but we know that we can add heat, add friction, and the molecules move faster, vibrate at a higher frequency. The solid becomes pliable, the liquid a gas. The atoms in … Continue reading Vibration
Note To Self:
All we have is right now. The past doesn't exist. It is in our minds and affects our decisions, but it does not exist. You learn from the past, own it. You had a bad childhood, fine. Be better. You are not your past. You are. Period. You are what you do right now, this … Continue reading Note To Self:
Distractions
When we absentmindedly eat while watching a movie, we can really put away some junk food. Think about how fast that popcorn disappears, and wait, what happened to my drink? Before we know it, we've eaten through a whole bag of popcorn and haven't savored one little bite. Whether it's the junk food or the … Continue reading Distractions
It doesn’t work…
I feel like a kid sometimes. I catch myself squeezing my eyes shut as tight as I can and folding myself in a tight little ball either physically or mentally hoping to be removed from the place I'm in, the situation, whatever. Much to my dismay, it doesn't work. It's like I can will myself … Continue reading It doesn’t work…
