2012 will bring so many self promises that I can’t help but think which ones will stick and which ones will slowly subside. I wonder if we are we setting ourselves up for success or failure. I guess only we … Continue reading
11/1/11
Everyone who really knows me, knows that I love the first of every month. A new month is a breath of change and a day you can renew a commitment to your Life goals.
Use today to write out your master plan again, to rethink where you are headed and take a few minutes to regroup.
Too often we get wrapped up in unnecessary busy-ness and forget to do the things that really matter, like a dinner date with your partner. How about a play date with just you and your children? Or an interrupted phone call to your close friend?
Take this day to make the time or plan the time, to do the things that feed your soul. Today is the day you can look at your calendar and set the dates for the things you always say you want to do, but never do. Life will pass you by if you don’t stop for a minute. This is why I love the first of the month.
Make 11/1/11 count, make this day one you never forget, make it the day you decided to turn things around or get things started!
Love your imperfectly perfect Life!

Stuck
” Jump the fence!” “Go for it!” “Just do it!” Too often, our self-created fear limits our lives and stunts the growth of our own personal development. There have been so many times that I have mapped things out, planned … Continue reading
Don’t stop my flow…
I am beginning to be aware of the ‘Life Flow’ going on around me. From the people who I share my Life with, to the random people I come across on a daily basis. There is an energy about the movement of … Continue reading
Listen to your Life…
Who I was in my twenties, is not the woman I look at in the mirror today. I am quite confident that this same feeling will face me as I age into my 40′s,50′s and so on. I am happy with … Continue reading
Own where you are in Life
Where you are right now, in this very moment in time, is a culmination of all the choices you have made. Whether you choose to believe this to be true, is yet another choice. Many people hide behind their Life circumstances as … Continue reading
Love where you are in Life….
I think it’s human nature to feel curious, to wonder how others are doing, and possibly feel a little envious of other people’s lives. We all heard the saying about the greener grass on the other side… Truth is, your grass is just as green.
Every person has a cross they carry, a story to tell and a heartache that never healed. Perfection lives only in God. So when you get that little curiosity, be happy for yourself AND others.
Love the life YOU live, chances are….someone is probably peeking over your fence feeling the same way!

Make a difference…
I was watching TV tonight and I found it so predictable that another celebrity was launching a new perfume alongside her new clothing collection. I couldn’t help but ask myself, “Is this really necessary? Is the world emptier without another perfume made by a celebrity that she probably doesn’t even use? ” With all the money that some people make, why not make more of a difference than just a bottle of perfume or a t-shirt?
My question for us everyday people, living out of the limelight is how can we make a difference in this world? More importantly what is the legacy we are leaving behind?
Hollywood is definitely not in my near future, but I don’t want to just leave behind a photo in a yearbook. I want to make a difference in others, change their perspectives, “flip the coin” for them, awaken them to Life… Even if its just a simple blog.
I say this not for recognition or fame but because there is a true passion in me. I want others to feel a certain way when they are around me, when they talk to me, and even when they read my words. I wish for others to be remembered of their greatness, to be inspired again of their dreams and to reconnect with the true purpose of their lives.
Maybe it’s just a simple blog on the outside; but to me, these words are proof of the legacy I wish to leave to those that come after me. Who knows who this blog will inspire today.
Today, even if you share a smile with a total stranger; make a difference in someone’s day, you’ll find that it pays you back more.
Uberperfect- to accept the imperfections as perfection.

Nothing changes, if nothing changes…
I think one of the biggest things that people struggle with now-a-days is “change.”
We want to be healthier, so we try to diet and exercise. We want to be richer, so we try to save and budget. There is always something on our plate that we are “working on” in order to become better and happier people, or so we think.
But why is it that we always seem to find ourselves short of accomplishing what we want?
I have set many goals in life that I wanted to achieve, I can only count a few that have materialized so far. And looking back, I notice that,”when I made a Life decision”, that things really changed.
What is a Life decision? It is when you consciously make a choice about your life and lifestyle. It’s not a wishy washy, maybe I’ll try this. NO, it’s a resolution to better your life.
Have you ever met someone who doesn’t drink? It’s as simple as that. You already know that person does not drink, so you never bother to even ask. That individual has made a Life decision. It’s not, “maybe I will just have one glass.” No, that person does not drink.
What can you clarify in your Life right now that you can make a decision on? What is the thing that you keep going back and forth about. The simplest way to know what path to take is to make a choice, after that it’s just a matter of staying true to why you made that decision.
They say, ”nothing changes if nothing changes.” Today make a decision, make a Life choice. We all have something that we are working on. I hope you can take the first step!

Tic, Toc, Tic, Toc….
"Take Your Time"
There are some days that I wish all clocks could just stop. A point that we all could just get some time to reconnect with our families and children. A period that we could rejuvenate ourselves mentally and physically. It is as if we are in a constant race of trying to get things checked off the list and tasks completed.
We put so much unneccessary pressure on ourselves, and even our children, to meet our Life’s expectations. We set the bar high so that we can feel accomplished and worthy. But in the end, does all this hustle and bustle really mean anything important? Maybe it does to some degree. Maybe the constant hustle validates our being, maybe it adds to our self-esteem and worth. But, to what degree are we driving ourselves to “keep up with the Joneses” rather than feeling okay being “The Smiths?”
The weekends are short and jam-packed with things to do and before you know it, the alarm is buzzing again for Monday morning. How to juggle that balance? Make “down time”, “family time”, “me time” a priority. It is not a diffuclt task, you just have to make it a priority.
They say that your life is a mirror of your thoughts and priorities. When was the last time you sat down and prioritized your life? This task is so important. It gives you a Life map, rather than being a wondering soul. Know where you are going and how you want to spend this precious time.
I find it ironic when people say that they love their kids so much and would do anything for them, but when was the last time you got down on the floor with your little one and played with them? When was the last time you had an uninterrupted conversation with your Life partner without checking your phone or email? When was the last time you did something for yourself, rather than being a martyr for everyone else?
My thoughts today are simply to “take your time” in Life. Take the time to do the things that are really important to you, the things that feed your soul and make you a better person. Get inspired, start a new habit and use the time that we have wisely. The clocks won’t stop until it’s too late. Find that connection between you and your soul, don’t let it get lost in the hustle of everyday Life. There is something special in all of us, we just never seem to take the time to nurture it. And, in reality, that is probably the very thing that is missing in your Life…:)
