Nothing is imposable for those who believe!

Where focus goes, energy flows. And if you don't take the time to focus on what matters, then you're living a life of someone else's design. ~Tony Robbins ~ Yesterday is over & today is here. Let's focus on what we have, what we are doing, who we are.  Dig deep inside yourself & find that passion & fire that creates your dreams then have the courage to make those dreams reality. Nothing is imposable for those who believe!

Change is definitely in the air

Change is definitely in the air-- from the leaves changing into a bouquet of reds, oranges, yellows, and green that eventually make their dance to the ground to the chill in the air-- change is here whether we like it or not. There are a lot of changes in life too... we are lifelong learners no matter what possession or place in life, and as such variety is the spice of life, right? But sometimes we fight it...we resist change..we're afraid of it...instead of going with the flow, we dig in our heals--it may be something that is incredibly good for our souls or our bodies and yet we fight it.  Change is scary, yes, but sometimes altogether necessary for our growth and movement through life. Wouldn't it be better to go into it empowered, as prepared as we can with our faith that everything WILL work out okay eventually (even if we can't see the hidden blessings at the time), and take the leaps of faith that may be necessary for change to occur? Now is as good a time as any to truly shed the old layers of ourselves-- the world needs the new and improved you!!! Release the past, let go of your tattered and torn ideas of what should and could have been, and find yourself in the present moment--- healed, inspired, engaged, empowered, ready, and willing. Let go of that which no longer brings you joy and no longer serves your true purpose here. Fill your space up with positive energy to the best of your abilities, no matter where you go or where you are led.... Ask for help along the way and trust that everything truly is unfolding as it is meant to. The really crappy part about resisting is change is that sometimes (usually?) it just goes on right ahead without us, and then it becomes uncomfortable, and super scary, heart breaking even. So, I'm going to go about my merry way.... accepting...acknowledging..releasing...healing... taking little leaps of faith and try my best to gloriously and whole heartedly embrace the changes that I have made and the changes that are on their way. Life is good... Life IS beautiful .It truly is about love...loving ourselves...loving others...loving life... the rest is merely details.

If the world could be as wonderful as my dreams
it would reach past perfection. If boundaries didn't exist, if fears didn't confine more than two hearts could forever intwine ♥

Definition Of Love

Love is a funny thing. You expect it to be easy. You expect it to be a world of roses and laughs and perfect moments that you find only in movies. You expect her to always say the right thing, and always know exactly how you feel, or exactly how to react to it. You expect her to calm you down when you're yelling or to chase you when you run away. You expect so much that you feel entirely, and utterly defeated when something doesn't exactly match up with all your plans. But that's the thing. Love isn't a plan. It doesn't have a certain beginning and it certainly has no end or visible finish line to those deeply in it.

Love happens; it is so incredibly messy. People around you can't comprehend why you do the things you do, or why you fight so hard for something that seems to cause you so much pain, because simply, they can't see. They can't see the invisible ring of insanity that surrounds you when you're in love. It's inconvenient and painful and devastating at times, but we can't live without it. What you don't learn is how hard love is. How much work it takes. How much of ourselves we have to put into it. How it isn't worth it until we are complete and utter idiots about it.

Love isn't her calming you down when you yell. It's her yelling, just as loud, just as hard, right back at you, right in your face to wake you up and to keep you grounded. It isn't her/him bringing you roses everyday or cute things that make your relationship appear more presentable.

It's after a long fight, that drains the life and bones right out of you both, and yet her showing up at your door the next morning anyway. It's not her saying all the right things or knowing exactly how to handle you. So no, it's not her caressing your hair and telling you everything is going to be alright. It's her standing there, admitting she's just as scared as you are. You have to remember that with love, you're not the only one involved. You've unknowingly put your life, your heart into the palms of another persons hands and said, here. Do what you will. Mash it into mince meat. Or forget I ever handed it to you. As long as you have it.

It makes us crazy. It makes reality invisible and it erases all the lines that we shouldn't cross. Because love isn't about fencing ourselves in; feeling safe, feeling sure about the future. It's about scaring the shit out of every nerve in our body, but pushing forward anyway. Because all the fighting and all the tears and all the uncertainty is worth it. And it's a hell of a lot better, than being 100% happy without someone to show us that there is a world of a difference between feeling 'happy' and feeling whole

How much do you think is too much when it comes to... mixing kids and caffeine?

 The question was asked on the news and brings up a very important topic. Here is my opinion what do you think? Do you let your children have caffeine?

I think a soda, ice tea, chocolate drink (all which have caffeine) every now & then is ok. As with everything in life the key is moderation. When you don't allow a child to ever have something it creates deep rooted issues that can linger ...forever. The key is teaching our children a healthy lifestyle. And nothing speaks louder than actions. Our children are going to copy many of the things we do. Knowing that we must be wise about our actions. Im positive soda everyday can't be good. But at the same time can you really imagine not ever seeing those happy moments created around a campfire with smores & hot chocolate or a cold summers day without a rootbeer float? And when my daughter was younger & wanted a delicious Starbucks treat caffeine free is the way to go for both of us :)

Ummm ya its good stuff tonight

We all get what we give. I never seek to get even with anyone, EVER! I know God's justice is far better than mine could ever be. I have faith in him & those I love. And I know those meant to be in my life will always be in my life. I'm in my thirties not my twenties I don't buy into these high school games. I know everything in life happens for a reason & even in tough spots I keep safe in my heart that God always has my best interest at heart. I stay in his light & everything will always work out for the best. The right thing is far from the most popular & sometimes a very hard lonely path.  I'm true to my heart. And I love those around me enough to make them be true to theirs! Part of loving yourself means accepting every part of your you, the light and the dark. We are a wonderful amalgamation of love, spirit, thoughts, emotions, good habits, bad habits, personality quarks, dreams and intentions. To deny any part of that is to deny the miracle that is you. Freedom and happiness come when you give up the illusion of trying to be perfect so you can finally just be yourself. I am myself always! Those that love me love that! Those that truly love me I don't need to worry about they will always be there when the dust settles from a storm. Those who I can't see simply weren't meant to be!

I never really do this but Im going to tonight because I truly think some people need to hear & digest this. So here you go:

No man wants to deal with psycho drama. Men want to be loved & appreciated, not accused & condemned!  There are few people that get to my heart but when they do they are taken care of.  Its not about being perfect. Its about loving people perfectly. Loving them for who they are just as they are. You can't change people. The only time someone changes is when they find it in there heart that they want to. A man wants to be respected, appreciated, loved & someone who will be loyal to them. Not someone who is always, criticizing, judging, blaming, and doubting. No-one wants to deal with drama. Who has the time. If you cant see the lesson its cause you haven't learned it yet, 


On different note, Don't judge other peoples faith.When that day comes he's not going to ask anyone but the person in front of him for an answer to their lives. I'm more than confident & comfortable with mine. Are you?!

LIFE IS NOW IT'S OUR TIME TO BECOME OUR VERY BEST, LETS DO IT TO IT!!

Climb that Mountain, Concur You Battles, Chase Your Dreams, Pull in the Stars & Kiss the Sun! A new day has begun! Challenges are exciting they make us better baby! There is no day better than today to be your very best! Life is right now! It's not later! It's NOW! Doesn't matter what was done last year last month yesterday or even five minutes ago. LIFE IS NOW IT'S OUR TIME TO BECOME OUR VERY BEST, LETS DO IT TO IT!! Peace Out ;)

You get what you give!

Our lives are the results of our choices to blame & accuse others or other extrinsic factors is to choose to empower things to control us Create Your own future! I don't care about the ones trying to cause drama & pain. I can walk away for it without the blink of an eye or even a second thought. When I say I don't waist my time with people that don't mater that's exactly what I mean. I surround myself with people that I care for & that truly care for me in return. Every action has a reaction! You get what you give! 

All For Now Peace Out!
