Who Makes You Smile?
This....when you laugh so hard that your stomach hurts. That you can say to them when you’re upset I was triggered and they understand. When they make you smile just from one text. This should be our goal.
Happiness. Smile. Feel Good Moments.
I never want to think life can’t be magical and I don’t want you to ever think that too. Because it can be.
What Makes You Happy...
Whatever it is keep doing it. Whoever adds to your happiness surround yourself with them.
We all have come a long way to not be happy. I challenge you to focus on your happiness!
Summer Salads at Bertuccis in Darien CT
Farmhouse Salad
Picture this...spontaneous lunch with a friend. Outside on a patio with refreshing salads end of the week. Fun right?!
I love little things like this. Breaks up your day and gets you out of your routine. Plus the company matters... we always have a nice time together and easy conversations. So fun!
We decided to go to Bertucci’s. I haven’t been there in a long time. There are a variety of salads to choose from. My friend got the Farmhouse Salad.
The Farmhouse has Romaine, iceberg, pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, roasted black olives & balsamic fig glaze. Everything is chopped. My favorite way to eat a salad. Very refreshing and healthy.
I ordered the Insalada with grilled chicken.
The Insalada is their standard salad which I always loved topped with grilled chicken and balasamic.
Both really good and great pricing. Fun spontaneous lunch with a friend helps start off the weekend right.
When’s the last time you had a spontaneous lunch outing?

You’re Lovable Regardless Of Who Loves You!
You’re always loveable. You always have been. Never determine just because one person or people aren’t willing to give you what you need means you are the problem. You aren’t. Just means you haven’t found your person yet!
I have a friend. This friend doesn’t think they are romantic or sweet. The ironic thing is every time we hang out my friend does a sweet kind gesture. Without me asking just naturally happens. I always let them know and point it out. Whether it’s ordering my favorite drink for when I arrive or giving me their first bite to try their dish or even serving me a shared dish or pizza before they serve themselves. If we are texting and my day is off or something happens they ask if I am ok.

It’s those little gestures that show you can be loveable, sweet and kind, it’s just who are you willing to or who makes you want to do those kind things for them.
You have it in you. We all do.
Happy Aug 2nd
Let go of what if’s, doubts, fears. Look within for decisions. Look within to move forward.
Who Is Worth The Risk...Those You Don’t Second Guess
This is a lesson to you and me. I believe in love and fairytales and happily ever afterwards but choose someone you think will give you that in return.
We all have internal hurt and pain. We all have healing. Now think about everyone who has contributed to that pain. It’s the closest people in our life or have been in our life. Where we let our guard down and gave them power over us. Over love. Over trust. And then what happened....
It back fired. We now have pain and healing and frustration from being vulnerable. Pain is from that. Lack of trust. Lack of ability to connect. Lack of ability to be close to them or someone.
That then causes us to let it hard for others in or to let go of people and situations.
This doesn’t only apply to relationships. It’s friendships or family members. Anyone who we let our guard down with and it took a piece of our power and heart away.
Now I am not saying don’t risk it. I am not saying give up. This is learning lessons. This made us stronger and wiser. Some of the biggest pain I have I have to deal with those people forever. I am saying in this lifetime we have to be careful who we let in. The healing may take longer than the pleasure.
Your Life Purpose Isn’t Suppose to Be Easy!
Yeah why would it be simple? Then again whose is?
Our journey is meant to have twists and turns. It’s meant to have heartache and pain. It’s meant to have bad times and good. It’s meant to want to heal others while needing to be healed. It’s being happy yet a little broken too.
Your journey may have a different story or path than mine but I bet it has twists and turns. Heartache. Pain. Sorrow. Joy. Love. Hate. Happiness and Broken pieces that need fixing and healing.
My life story has many chapters that one may rip out and replace with others. But it’s my story. It’s sad. Shocking. Beautiful. Your story is too.
I always felt I dealt with a lot but I realized a lot had to do with things that helped build my character. I let my guard down and had my heart broken a couple times. But doesn’t mean I stopped believing in love and romance. It actually showed me I can find that. I just have to be patient. It’s also not all of me. It’s 10%. The other 90% is J a Mom a Sister a Daughter a Friend an Entrepreneur a Blogger a committee member a want to be healer a flower child a hopeless romantic.
What percentage makes you who you are? Think about it. Break it down. Nothing takes up all of you. Some parts are broken and need fixing. Trust me I am working on that. But you as a whole aren’t just one thing.
