How to Get the Life You Want:

According to Stephen Covey, in his book 7 Habits of Highly Effectively People,  in order to be successful and live the life you want, you must " put first things first" .  A pretty old saying if you ask me.  Something my own parents or grandparents have said for decades.  Now I am going to tell you the same thing again.

10 Tips to Live an Easygoing, Stress-free Lifestyle:

Are you stressed out, overwhelmed and easily frustrated with your current lifestyle? Do you feel stuck in a rut? Do you find that you are always cooped up inside your home or buried in work at the office all the time? Are you carrying work home? Are your bills stressing you out? Worried about your bank account balance? Stop! Worry no longer — take notes from the people living a happier, more contented life, breathe easy, and relax! Here are ten tips to help you along: 1. Simplify your lifestyle. Don't get involved in too many things all at once, especially if you find yourself dreading your next activity instead of looking forward to it. Fi nd things you enjoy and cultivate time for them. It's ok to say no. Life is simple, don't complicate it. 2. Get organized. Take time out to reorganize your space, activities and schedule; and thus, your life. Make a to-do list of all the projects you would love to complete, set a plan of action and get started.

Be Leery of the Calm

Yes, the old adage, "keep calm and carry on", but if you are a passionate person, stay clear of those who like to tout their calmness. They will irk the hell out of you and get away with it. Calm people very rarely get their feathers ruffled. They are the emotional instigators of life—button pushers, if you will. They know that they can keep their emotions in check and not get too riled up about any situation. One thing you must know about calm people , they are not afraid to put your emotions to the test—and then have the nerve to tell you to stay calm. They are always so seemingly innocent, calm and peaceful on the outside, while twisting the knife on the inside. Basically, they focus on the “inside job” of how to make others’ lives miserable, especially those who are passionate or emotionally charged. You see, most calm people are often very insecure bullies wanting to prove themselves at your expens e. They want the world to believe that they are a better pe...

Journey of Self: Who Are You?

How do you begin to answer this question? Do you begin with your name, relations, occupation, achievements, life status or family lineage? How about sexual, spiritual or solar orientation? No? Then you must be your race, creed, nationality, or background? Right?... So, if none of those define you, tell me... do you really, truly and honestly know who you are? How might you begin to find out? As individuals we have so many intricacies and facets to our lives that if we have not consciously taken the time to find out who we are, we could be living a lie or someone else idea of who we are. I know, I know...I can hear the protest loud and clear: "I know who I am." But really, do you? I have news for you. What you do and where you came from are NOT you!  That's right, it is an extension of who you are, but it certainly isn't you in its entirety. You were who you are, long before you learned how to walk, talk, read, or write. Long before your passed or cu...

Status Update

Lord, I thank you for allowing me to live to see this day!! Oh, what a glorious day it is!! For the last 23 years of my life I have been a single parent or single mother, but thank you, Lord, today I can officially declare that I am just Single! While I will be forever their mother, I no longer have to mother them. I am so glad to see both my children come to this stage in their journey of life where they no longer need to parent them and I am so glad to take on my new role as a partner in their destiny!! It has definitely been a long rugged road that I somehow managed to have it look envious, but so far from it. My children and I have been through a lot, but we have managed to keep it together and come out more refined every time. Even though we have not had a lot of support we learned to lean on each other and embrace our flaws! So to my two beautiful, talented, smart, brave, and strong young ladies, hats off to your future and mine...big things are about to happen! I can fe...
