Today’s National Do A Grouch A Favor Day
Today’s National Day is pretty funny. Do you have a grouch in your life? If so do something nice for them. Turn their frown upside down.
Families That Read Together...One Question & Meditation
I mentioned my new book I am reading. So tonight I gave the girls 30 minutes before dinner to play and I read my book. I asked for a highlighter and my little one asked to help me. So I put her to work as I read.
This chapter it asked “If I loved myself truly and deeply would I let myself experience this?”
So what is the “this” well that’s up to you to fill in. Could be anything. Could be in a lacking relationship. Could be a job you’re not happy with. Could be a bad habit you’re trying to get rid of. It’s up to you to really think about it.
This chapter on meditation says inhale saying I love myself. Exhale saying.....
I won’t say what I exhale. It just kindof came out. It was along the lines of sorry I allowed myself to put up with bullshit I didn’t deserve.
Now your turn.
Sit against a wall. Close your eyes. Inhale saying to yourself I love myself. Exhale saying...
Fill in your blank.
Do You Want The Bag Back?
We celebrated Valentine’s Day today at my parents. We give everyone a special valentine. I hand my sisters back my kids empty bags and ask “do you want the bags back.”
They laughed how I always do that for them and they actually love and appreciate it. Well what do I need 9 Valentine’s Day bags for? Why not give them back to reuse again. I must say it’s the little gestures that add up. ❤️
After I saw this post and had to share with them.
We Are All Crossing Paths For A Reason
I like people I can learn from. Whether it’s about hunting or why people fish late at night or early morning because that’s when there isn’t a lot of wind or about places to check out. I love the food and work our tips I get. I love learning. I love and appreciate when someone takes the time to teach me something. “Did you know...”
I started to see a pattern. Once I learned something from someone my journey with them came to an end. I almost knew ok I won’t see them again thank you for the lesson or information.
It wasn’t sad. It gave me peace. See we are all here to help eachother. To teach or be taught. To get love or give love.
When we hold on that’s when problems occur.
Feb 16th Reflect...
Take nothing personal!
One thing I learned in business was to never take anything personal. To leave all emotions out. Always. Business is business. Be ethical and professional but nothing has to do with you deep down. As a person. Be professional and never communicate when angry.
Keep Growing & Changing
I wouldn’t even recognize the girl I was three years ago. But here’s a funny story.
A guy I was seeing didn’t end things so well. Just kindof stopped. Very confusing. He later reached out to me around the holidays but was short and I wondered why even bother.
So I run into him over the weekend. He immediately kisses me on the cheek and asks how I am. I say good and walk away. I am short.
I later wonder how he was so quick to say something to me yet he never reached out prior to this weekend again. So I changed and realized I had blocked him ever since his last brief text.
Now I have no intentions of speaking to him. It was nice to see how quick he said hello. But blocking him
meant not having access to my energy. Even now he doesn’t.
Don’t continue to make space for people who drop in and out. Also learn that lessons are lessons. Not to be repeated. To be learned and to carry on.
Him being blocked meant even if he wanted to he couldn’t come back in.
You aren’t who you were years ago. You’re better. Stronger. Happier. Brighter. More loving but smarter. Tougher yet graceful.
Remember that when weak opportunities cross your path.
