Salt Cave In Ridgefield
What an awesome experience. I actually saw the deal on Groupon and went with my sister. It’s been on my “bucket list” for a while. It was amazing.
The salt cave is so peaceful and good for your body. All my aches magically disappeared. Better than a massage and cheaper. You go in a room filled with Himalayan salt on the walls and floor. Your body just absorbs it. People were walking in saying they are there to help with their sinuses. It is so calming. They give you a blanket and you sit in a zero gravity chair. You lay back and they have a voice in speaker telling you the benefits and history of this concept. They then tell you to sit back and relax. They play soft music so you can meditate. Honestly we didn’t want to leave. The room was so cozy and pretty. I have a Himalayan salt lamp in my bedroom and love it, imagine a whole room filled with it, just awesome! So spiritual!

Connect Within & Then Heal
Digging deep can be painful. A lot of time we let anger cover up how we truly feel. You need to unbury those emotions in order to feel, heal and move forward. When was the last time you opened up to yourself. Forgave yourself and feel. Try it.

Today’s Lesson: It’s Never Easy But Don’t Face It All Alone
I was always torn from day one. Being a mom and running a business. It’s not easy. Working and being a parent is not easy. Trying to be all these things isn’t easy. Today I learned it’s ok to ask for help. I was so grateful to have help with my kids this week. They keep getting sick and working from home means they stay home yet working tends to be super difficult. Grateful I have my family and in laws who are always willing to help. I just can’t juggle it all sometimes and it’s ok. Even their dad stepped in and helped. I have to grow my business even more being single yet have to be a nurturing mom even more too. Especially since they have been through so much change. The balance is hard. I want to pour my heart and soul into being a Mom and I want to pour my heart and soul into my job. Sometimes the two conflict. It’s never easy, I have to accept that but grateful to have help by those who want to try to make it a bit easier to manage.

Today’s Lesson: Say Sorry For Your Part
It takes two in every situation. Two people who let go or two people who didn’t give things their all. Two people who could of been better, done better, treated eachother better. Today’s Lesson is to say sorry for your part. Even if it doesn’t change the outcome it just feels good to say it and good to hear it so say sorry when you need to and heal.

Today’s Lesson: Try Not To Always React
“Not every emotion deserves a reaction!”
Through the process of healing or finding yourself it’s good to know stuff about yourself that you need to change or work on. I am a reactor. It’s a flaw I know and today it clicked that every time I feel something I don’t need to react to it. Just feel.
It’s Just Takes One...
It just takes one person to help you change your whole outlook. I love hanging out around people. I love talking to people. I love it because you always walk away with more knowledge, more hope, more understanding. When you talk to people you learn something new...almost every single time. It’s powerful it’s amazing. I woke up yesterday not feeling so great. I was down. I was confused. I was torn about moving forward or taking a step back. I went to bed that night feeling great. Happy. Hopeful. Don’t alienate yourself from others. Be around people. It helps you grow. Helps you look at life differently. Helps push you to the right direction. What a difference 12 hours can make. Give yourself that!

World Cancer Day: Survivor: Grateful!
Source: I Had Cancer Instagram
It’s World Cancer Day! Thinking of all those battling their battles and blessing those who have won their battles. Thinking of those who lost their battles.
I gratefully saw my doctor this week and my levels are perfect, no trace of cancer in my blood work and she even lowered my medicine dose. Grateful everyday. My scar can’t been seen by many but it’s a sign of strengthen. No one should have to battle cancer. But grateful I didn’t do it alone. Grateful for my kids, my family and friends and amazing doctors. April will be 5 years cancer free. Can’t wait for that day, chances of reoccurrences after 5 years is slim.
Motivation Sunday: Beating Bitterness by Joel Osteen
Learn to let it go. It’s not easy...I know! But staying bitter is toxic. You need to realize every lesson you face in life there is a better outcome and a reason for it. It’s nice to hear a reminder when you’re feeling low or down.

Yes Please Wake Me Up For A Lizsue Bacon Egg & Cheese
I actually woke up really early. Kids were at their dads for the night and I just stayed in bed. Little did I know I fell back asleep. I heard my house phone ring and it was past 9:00 am. It was my sister. “Are you ok she asked, sorry I woke you, I want to bring you breakfast.” Honestly amazing! Lizsue Bagels On New Canaan Ave in Norwalk is my all time favorite breakfast spot. It’s been a while since someone brought me breakfast: bacon egg and cheese on an everything whole wheat bagel. Super awesome treat. Super great reason to wake me on a Saturday!

Dinner & A Movie...Bow Tie Cinemas
It was the perfect Friday Night out. Pizza, wine, popcorn and Jumanji. Laughs and happy bellys. Doesn’t get better than that. I LOVE the new theaters in Norwalk. It’s so cozy and they have a full bar and full food menu. The margarita pizza was really good and perfect size for two. The wine came in two sizes- for two glasses or three. Totally fun to do on a chilly winter night.

What A Year I Mean Month....
*Source: Instagram
I loved the laugh. Really was incredibly long! Ready to enjoy the rest of 2018.
Feel So You Can Be Free
Love this and it’s because a lot of times we don’t “feel”. I was angry for a long long time. I actually was numb to a lot. Then I allowed myself to feel. You feel and you get over it and can move forward. If you don’t feel you never truly heal. This applies to a lot of aspects in life. Feel and be free of that feeling!
Goodbye January...
January felt super long! Super, super draining. Cold weather. Snow. Lots of it. February just means closer to Spring. Warm weather. Fun activities. A chance to feel good again and things to look forward to. ❤️

Divorce The Roller Coaster Ride
It’s truly like no other. Divorce is a pretty ugly, emotional, up down, ride. You are easily triggered because emotionally you are mad, scared, angry yet fighting for peace in your life. Fighting for survival. All emotions are on the table. It’s really not fun. You start to feel bad for the kids that they won’t have that idea “mom and dad” family life. You start to wonder what your next role, steps in life will be. Then you think you can be civil with your ex and they do something that generates this monster in you. And their true colors show and you loose it. They know how to piss you off. It’s bull, BUT, it’s growth. You are growing as a person. You tackle your fears. You say ok how will I handle this and you get better. It takes time but you try not to react. You CHANGE!! I called my mom and said I am at peace but freaking out. Next day I called my sister and said the things that trigger my anxiety no longer trigger it. I am just going with the flow of life.
You can’t allow anyone to break you. But when it comes to your kids,family and money, you fight the fight. That’s just how it is.

I See Your True Colors...
There are many times people’s true colors shine through- be sure to pay attention, as you get older you think maybe they will change well they won’t. The sad, scary truth is we want people to change more than they are willing to themselves. That’s when you have two choices: accept the person or walk away from them.

Oh What A Week...Cold, Virus, Whatever You Are Go Away
What a week it’s been. Started off with coughs lead to
kids taking turns being home sick from
School, trip to doctors office, eye drops for my middle one and me. They finally are better and now I have time heal while they are at their dads. I went to bed at 8:00 last night just to try to catch up on sleep that I lost all week. My abdominal muscles are so sore from coughing so much. I can’t taste much so haven’t really been eating too well. It’s not easy being sick and taking care of the kids. It’s also not easy being sick and wishing there was someone there to make you soup or tea or get you that extra blanket. BUT this all makes you stronger and independent and really feel you can tackle anything when you get through doing it alone.

Soul Mate...Have You Found Yours?
I haven’t been single in a very long time and although I need to be in order to regroup and have me time and fix what is wrong in my life and deal with certain emotions sometimes, just sometimes, I think about who I may end up with. I know relationships don’t define us. We define ourselves but when you have been in a relationship for a long time you tend to blend as one and well after a divorce you’re solo. You focus on you. It’s been a very long time but I do believe out there, somewhere on this planet I too will find my soul mate. Someone who brings out the good in me and is a good partner, teammate and friend. We all do have them. I do believe in that just sometimes we haven’t found them yet. Have you found yours?
