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?

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

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

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

The solid becomes pliable, the liquid a gas.  The atoms in … Continue reading Vibration

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:

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

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…

I hate wasting time. Now, I can sit quietly with a blank expression on my face, but I promise you I am hard at work. I am constantly planning and writing and dreaming. I can spend hours lost in my thoughts and never feel cheated. But what I hate is when I need to physically … Continue reading Pauses
