Change Your Approach

read this article and I loved this quote "Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach."   By Tony Robbins. 

At the end of the day this is YOUR life. You do as you please. You do what you want. You have to be happy with your decision no one else.  No one can stop you BUT you can change the way you say things or how you approach things. 

I noticed this a lot lately. The "f" it I don't care approach. What people don't realize is that you hurt people and it causes people to keep further and further away from you. 

Ex. I felt like doing this so deal with it. Um what if you say I am sorry if it hurt your feelings but this is what I wanted to do. 

Same decision but different approach. It's just common courtesy. If people truly treated people the way they would want to be treated this world would be a happier place!

Happy Mother's Day 2015

Motherhood is hard as hell but amazing and beautiful and rewarding. This is the 1st Mother's Day that I actually believed a Mother should have a day. I know it sounds bad but I never realized how hard  it is to be a parent until I had my third. She's actually my easiest but all three of them and then two dogs who are like children and I have a full house.

I wouldn't change a thing. I love it. It makes me smile even when I want to scream. It's amazing really. But it's long days and unpredictable. Lack of sleep and always cleaning and cooking and cleaning some more. But the unconditional love you get is like no other. When they call for me my heart tightens it  is an amazing thing and gift to be a Mom and I am forever grateful!!

What I Learned...Turning 35

I am turning 35 this weekend. I know it's doesn't sound old but it definitely sounds older than 34. 

I believe so much in fate and our path of life that when I was 16 I went to a palm reader. She actually said a lot of things that stand true: I would have three kids, I would own my own business by 35. What she didn't get right is the initials of the man I would marry or the gender of my children. I always had her words in the back of my head like my destiny was in her hands. Almost 20 years later I learned a lot and I am grateful to be able to spend another birthday. 

My life is such a world wind with three kids and us now putting our house on the market since we need more space. I am constantly moving and life never sits still. It is work but I am loving it and I must say I am so much happier now than twenty years ago and even ten and five years ago. Life has taught me a lot and here are some things I want to share

*Be a leader and role model: there is no greater joy than seeing someone follow your path and advice. Especially when it comes to parenting. I act like I know what I am doing but I am just trying to treat my kids the way I want someone to treat me. 

*Enjoy relationships and friendships: relationships take work and so do friendships. Work at it. Don't take it for granted. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Making it work is easier than a divorce. Get help if you need it. Friendships help you see a part of you that you didn't know. Cherish them!


*Pay your bills and on time: Good credit is so important. My credit luckily is amazing and when people tell me I respond I just pay my bills in full and on time. Do the same. I always said what's the point in having money in the savings if you are paying interest on bills. 

*Love Yourself : the only person you are gaurenteed to spend the rest of your life with is...Yourself. So be good to yourself. Eat healthy. Try not to stress. 

*Don't Regret: don't regret things. If it's stuff that happened then it happened because it was meant to happen. If you Regret something you said then apologize and move forward. 

*Stop the what ifs...what is meant to be will be. 


Happy Birthday To Me!
