Let It Go...Focus On The Now
The past is the past for a reason. Old pain. Old energy. That all has nothing to do with you now.
Let the past be gone. Embrace the now. 💛
Bad Halloween Weather Solutions
Let’s move Halloween. I was talking to a friend. He laughed. I was serious. We should move it to the weekend. It honestly should always be on the weekend. He was saying in the Midwest they always have kids trick or treat on the weekend no matter when the real Halloween date falls on.
I love that idea. Parents don’t have to rush home and get the kids ready after school. You don’t have to worry about kids staying up late and having school the next day.
But we aren’t at that stage yet in CT. So instead some easy solutions are:
- Check out your local Mall. Malls in the area do hand out candy and treats
- Check out your retirement community centers. The elderly would love to see the kids dressed up and kids can enjoy getting candy and spending time with them.
- Get togethers. Do a neighborhood get together. My sister is doing it with some families on her block. It’s a smart way to have kids dress up and have fun without worrying about going out in the rain or bad weather.
Whatever you end up doing be safe and have fun!

Self-Care Is So Important
What are you doing daily for your own well being?
It’s so important to make ourselves a priority. I was talking with a girlfriend and I told her new rule at 9:00 every night she needs to have “me time” for herself. She’s off the clock. She’s off taking care of her mom. She is focusing on decompressing.
I have another friend. He works a lot. All day and nights. I finally asked him when do you have “me time”. He said right before bed. I said that’s crazy and not enough. Do something so you decompress. Sleep isn’t the only thing.
I love my kids but the rule is bed before 9:00. After 9:00 I am useless to them. I just need to decompress before my own bedtime.
We all need it. It’s healthy. It helps us function better. It makes us happier. Please do the same for yourself.

How Badly Do You Want Something?
I can tell countless stories that resemble this. A Friend who wanted change and had every opportunity for it and didn’t take it. Or people who come along to love and adore you and your mind is stuck on the person who doesn’t.
Where we wanted change in our life and god presented the opportunities and we over looked them.
Open your eyes. Sometimes it’s not spelled out but in reality the signs are all there.
Is Your Glass Half Full it Half Empty
Have you ever been super excited about something and then plans change? Like out of the blue and then spontaneous situations occur.
That’s my life.
Not always. But a lot of the times. So the other day a situation occurred where I had made plans a week prior and then things changed mid day. Out of no where. I won’t lie. I was super annoyed and bummed out just because I was really excited about it.
Let’s back track. Earlier in the day I got asked to stay at a hotel for free since I booked a client retreat there and the lady wanted to meet me so she offered a comp room for me to visit. I then had girlfriends ask to hang out. Another friend asked to hang out. But my focus was on my plans being cancelled. Then my mom offered to cover for me so I could go to an appointment. A lady bug flew in my car. Now picture this. Was my day good or bad?
One may say you were disappointed that your plans got canceled. Plans you were looking forward to. Another would say you got a free hotel room, girlfriends want to come to dinner, you visited a friend, your mom helped so you could make an appointment and not be late, a lady bug flew in your car.
Um yeah my day was awesome.
Just because one thing goes wrong doesn’t mean you lose the sight of all that went right. That’s my hope for you all. My hope is you too look at your glass being half full not half empty. I had 5 amazing things happen and 1 disappointed one. Who wins my attention? The 5 all the way!!!

Why Half Full People Live More Fulfilling Lives
What’s Your Heart Telling You?
We all gravitate towards love. Look at your life. Your relationships: current and past.
Love gravitated you towards someone. The way they made you feel, the way they looked at you. The way they made you laugh. How you can be yourself around them. The fun you have. The way you can tell them anything. They are your best friend. Your souls purpose.
We can’t love our fake self. We love our true self. We love because someone makes us feel special and good. They make us feel alive. They help us see beauty in things. When they look at us they see our soul.
That doesn’t have to change. In time lust fades but not love. Your heart still yearns for that person you’re meant to love and have in your life. You still look at them and say you can’t imagine your life without them.
If it does change. Work on it. If it can’t be fixed move on with your life to make your heart feel love and happiness again.
I am in my search for that type of love because I believe it exists and can remain. I believe we all want love that lasts. Not short term. Not lust. Real genuine care about someone type of love.

Go to the gym. Try a new restaurant. Take your kids to a festival. There’s always stuff to do to awake your soul.

Happy Diwali!
Happy Diwali! Diwali is the five-day festival of lights, celebrates new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness.
We lit a candle and put it at our front door for good luck for the year. We did it last year and I must say we had an amazing year. The girls grew and matured so much. They made great memories and friendships. Work was amazing. I got to travel a lot. Met some amazing people. Loved. Laughed. Made some amazing memories.
Cheers to another amazing year ahead of luck, love, great health, life lessons and spiritual growth.
Happy Diwali!
