Feel Good Song: Time Of Your Life

Friday Motivation...

I had to laugh seeing this. My true core wants peace and love and happiness but for some reason this week all these men tested my patience and well if I only said the above more often I could let the true me out and avoid some unnecessary drama. 

A friend once said it’s ok to not be so tough...I realized that I don’t seem to select the right people who allow me to let my guard down so I use a toughness to protect myself. We all do. We all have been hurt. We all have had people taken advantage of our kindness and it’s ok! It’s ok because deep down if we could we would probably do it again. We had to learn from it. 

Let’s all practice some peace this weekend. I intend to detach from my phone and embrace the beauty of silence and good vibes with some girlfriends. So as my day comes to an end may you know that it’s ok to say No and Fk off to people who need and deserve to hear it. It’s ok to have been hurt and get up and move on. It’s ok to start again. It’s ok to be tough when you have to be. It’s ok to do whatever you want because it’s your life. Read that again...it’s your life!

Cheers to the weekend!

Be Careful Who You Let In

People always show their true colors early on. You may not pay attention but they do show them. Study who they are. Who they associate themselves with. Who they spent their years with. You can tell by those things the type of people they are. 

We control who we let in. 

Caffe’ Social in Norwalk

I have been wanting to go here since they opened. So when my girls said they were hungry and we had some time to spare I had the perfect spot to take them. 

It’s so pretty inside. Really is. Great inspirational ambiance. 

You can tell love went into this place. They have awesome pasteries and muffins on the counter. We sat at the countertop and the staff were super nice and friendly. 

My southern burrito was delicious. The girls got eggs and pancakes and my daughter’s favorite thing was their homemade Hash Browns. The portion sizes are huge. You totally get your moneys worth. Everything tasted fresh. It is located in Sono. 

Girls said they want to go back. Cute spot for sure!

Focus On Peace...Always!

Sometimes when there is tension amongst people you can almost see their souls fighting. It’s crazy but true. They become defensive and angry. Hurt triggers that. Pain and anger too. Rejection. Neglect. Whatever emotion you are feeling you have to try to stop it. 

It’s like your soul wants to protect you. Doesn’t want to allow someone access to any wounds they have caused. You have to fight for your inner peace. You have to love yourself enough to say I deserve better, walk away and aim for better. 

If you don’t love yourself enough for peace then no one else ever will give you peace.

Let Me Be Clear...Thank You For Your Truths

All it took was a text. A line I reread over and over to finally say no more. “I didn’t want to give you any false impressions.” 

It still makes me angry. I didn’t ask for this person to come back in my life. They chose to. I never wanted this person to get the best of me yet again they did. To be a friend on their terms.  The ironic thing is  I woke up to another text from someone else who likes to come in and out of my life that said “I thought I should let you know”  and was actually grateful for these truths. I yet again wasn’t nice and said to leave me alone for good. Two different people. Two honest blunt messages that lifted huge weights off my shoulders. Thank you for your truths and for clearing my path. Thank you for allowing me to remove you both from my life and no we can’t be friends. 

Everyone’s true colors always come out. 

When the truth comes out you have two options...you run or you stay and think things will change but trust me they never do. So run. And I don’t mean it in a bad way I mean it in a way that to take the hint, clue, blunt response and move on with your life. At my stage in life I can say ok please don’t reach out to me again. I am not tied to anyone for any reason. What doesn’t bring me peace must be go away. 

These are not situations to hurt you. You get hurt when you think things will change so you stick around. I have learned the hard way...they don’t change. These situations help you build wisdom, character and experience so you don’t make the same mistakes again. 

I always told my girlfriends people always come back. It happens all the time. Not once can I say it hasn’t happened. One way or another people manage to circle

back in. This is your only time to have control- if you allow them back in or not. That’s your power. Don’t become weak stand your ground. 

These situations clear your path so you can open up room for people who actually deserve to have a place in your life, mind, & heart. 

False hope. False impressions. I want to be honest. Let me tell you the man I really am.  All these words actually spared me of continuing to care about people who didn’t deserve my time or for me to care about them, or my friendship, not then nor now.
