What The Hell Is Happening...New Moon March

It’s a new moon. What? I said to my friend. Yeah it’s a new moon and the whole universe vibes are out of wack. 

I know it sounds crazy but it makes sense. It’s been a weird week/Month. Random things keep happening. Out of the blue messages are popping up. Twist of fate are taking place. I couldn’t sleep. I tossed and turned all night. I had to look it up to see what it all really meant. Trust your vibe. Trust the universe. Cheers to new beginnings...whatever and wherever they may lead you.

We All Need Sunshine In Our Life!

These Are All Lessons...

Until Next Holiday...

The Second Time Around

I got married really young. I felt I had my happily ever after and then things changed. We grew up. Real life started to happen. We both changed. Things went downhill and lust turned into anger and so on. 

At this stage of being an adult things are different the second time around. Even though you look for certain qualities in a possible companion you also have a less “lust” approach and more of a realistic one.

 Most of the time there’s other children we have from previous relationships. There’s the ex’s that still play a role in their life. It’s like a tangled web. You may not necessarily want more kids or marriage again but you do want a companion who respects you and gives you what you deserve. You may have trust issues or avoid certain patterns that remind you of your previous relationships. You may have a couple failed experiences because you will tolerate less this time around. Regardless it’s not an easy journey but can be a lot of fun especially if you found someone worth trying it out with. I found this article pretty interesting.

You Can’t Do This Journey Alone

The saying “no one gets it unless they have been through it” is 100% true. My divorce journey would have been awful if I didn’t have people in my life that could relate to me. What I was dealing with. The roller coaster ride alone. Now I tend to lend a helping hand and voice to those going through what I went through. My sister was my helping hand and now I tend to be my friends. No one should do this alone. 

I met with a friend last night going through it. I stopped her and said girl just be happy and don’t second guess why you’re happy. It’s ok to be selfish. It’s ok to say I don’t want the rest of my life to be this way. Regardless of what age you are. 

We need to take more ownership over what we want and need. No one can give it to us. No one can make decisions for you. Another close friend of mine was scared of outcome of her court date. Honey, I said, you make a final agreeement ahead of time and court doesn’t want to make it for you. You go in fully prepared. Agree ahead of time. Court isn’t scary. It just finalizes it. 

These little tips take the pressure off your fears. Change is hard. Change is fearful. It’s ok to have fear just don’t face them alone. No one goes into a marriage thinking it will end one day. But people change along the process. Feelings change. Unmet expectations happen. Staying in a bad situation isn’t the solution. Building courage to fight for your happiness is the most courageous thing you can do. 

Just Go With It...

You become a little on guard. Not sure what you’re really doing. But you are having fun along the way so you’re fighting with two demons...the thinking too far ahead and the just enjoy it while you can. 

No one can predict what the future holds so you have to just keep reminding yourself to enjoy the moment. Enjoy the adventure. If it makes you happy then keeping doing it. Once it doesn’t that’s when you end it.

Date Yourself! There’s No Second Guessing That!

I started to do this. Date myself a little more. There’s no second guessing that. When you invest in someone it’s about growth and comfort. Dinner last week solo. Taking myself to a movie this week. You can’t wait around for someone to make you happy. Make yourself happy. Those who want to join are just an addition. Not the main source. 

Second time around is different. You’re older. Wiser. Know what you’re worth. Know what you deserve.  If someone doesn’t give you all that then it’s time to do it for yourself. Date yourself. You can still have other people in your life but you have to feel enough for yourself. 

Work On What’s Happening On The Inside

Feel Good Song...Taking It Back To Your Roots

One thing I noticed this past year I seem to go back to songs that remind me of my childhood. I have been into the songs of the 80’s and a lot of Italian music that my parents played when I was a child. Maybe it’s a reflection of where I came from. Maybe it’s me reconnecting with my past. When life was more simple. Less complex. More carefree. 

My sister ordered the Ancestry test. It confirmed we were 95.2% European. The other percentage was Greek and Asian roots. 

It was interesting to learn and confirm how Italian we really are. It also had us reminisce about some of our favorite Italian songs growing up. 

 

Spring Ahead...Your Reminder To Set The Clocks

Sometimes You Have to Focus on You!

It’s not being selfish. It’s realizing that you have to take control over your life. Stress is poison to your body. Always focus on making yourself happier. That way you can be healthier. It’s important to be true to you and your well being.  

Wake Up Kick Butt...Repeat

Interesting...

Everything reflects back to childhood. How we are shaped and molded. We usually pick a partner that is similar to one of our parents. We usually tend to have history repeat itself. Break the cycle. 

Wilton Restaurant Week March 11-17 2019

It’s Ash Wednesday

10 years ago I got in a really bad car accident on Ash Wednesday. I walked away not hurt even though my car wrapped around a tree. I went to church that night and a little voice behind me said “Thank you for keeping me alive”. I always make it a point to go to church on Ash Wednesday and pray. Grateful for being alive. Grateful for the opportunity to enjoy life. 

Enjoy Your Life...Always!

You don’t just live and die. The things in between matter too. You must live a life you wake up to everyday and enjoy. If you don’t then you need to make changes. No one can make changes for you!
