Positive Story Wednesday – The Beggar and the Treasure!
A beggar sat on the road for more than thirty years begging for pennies. One day a man passed by the beggar… “Spare some change?” asked the beggar. The man replied, “I have nothing to give you, but what is this thing you are sitting on?” The beggar said, “It’s an old box I’ve been […]
Talk About It Tuesday – Keep an open mind!
My biggest dream in life has always been to make a difference in people’s lives. I didn’t always have the answer as to how I was supposed to do this, which is why I’ve always done my best to keep an open mind. Even with our own dreams, it’s helpful to realize not everything is […]

Motivational Monday – F.E.A.R.
They say fear has two definitions. Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. I know for me I’ve experienced both in my life. Especially when it came to jumping on the back of Mike’s motorcycle. My immediate reaction when Mike and I planned our first road trip on his bike was to back […]

Happy Fri-YAY – Make peace with yourself!
Today I needed to make peace with myself. You see, I generally go for a walk at 6:00 am with my husband every morning before I do my workout. I’m actually really proud of my routine and self-discipline. However, the last couple of days, because I’ve been super busy, I felt really tired when I […]

Think About It Thursday – Ditching the emotional mask!
I love to wear hats! I have for years and own a pretty nice collection of them! I wear them for fashion or because I’m having a bad hair day…like today hahahahah. Yet, no matter what the reason I’m still showing up as myself.

Positive Word Wednesday – Be your authentic self!
So, I was getting ready and had some music playing and I heard the song by Lionel Richie called “Easy”. It’s an old song, but such a great one! Yet, today the song really struck a chord with me when I listened to the verse… Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?I’ve […]

Talk About It Tuesday – Connection is amazing self-care!
I’m guessing you’ve heard the term “self-care” before, right? Like sinking into a warm bubble bath, scribbling in a journal before bed, or maybe meditating quietly. These are all perfect self-care practices anyone can do. Yet, have you ever thought of social connection as self-care? That’s right, hanging out with friends, catching up with family […]

Motivational Monday – How do you motivate yourself?
How do you motivate yourself? Are you like me and love listening to music with powerful words? For me this is everything!! This photo is actually me listening, on full blast, singing and dancing to Diana Ross’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”. The words actually motivate and make me feel invincible…and that I can truly […]

Happy Fri-YAY – Setting Goals
Just recently I decided to go back to school, which most would say is insane because my schedule is crazy busy. So, you’re probably asking…why would you do that to yourself? You see, I’ve always loved new challenges or taking on new goals. They not only broaden my mind, but I feel like they truly […]
Think About It Thursday – Setting intentions.
For a number of years, I’ve gotten into a practice of setting an intention each day. Do you set intentions? Or maybe you’re in a habit of setting goals. However, the two really aren’t the same thing. Let me explain. You see, intentions provide you with reminders of how you want to live your life. […]
