Change Your Thinking
Little steps to a happier life...
It was a crazy morning. I ran errands for a work trip coming up. Stayed at a place longer than expected. Rushed home to eat before client calls and I stopped myself and gave thanks. Thanks for being able to go out and do what I had to do. Thanks for having a great happy job.
Everything else worked in my favor.
You have to stop. Rethink. Delete negative thoughts.
My life isn’t perfect. Someone can judge. But to me it’s amazing. So that’s all that matters. You should think your life is amazing too.
Let’s Go For A Walk
You look great. Everyone keeps saying that to me and to be honest not sure why. Then it hit me. Ever since I started walking an hour almost everyday I changed.
My bones don’t ache. My skin is brighter. My body is firmer. My face is thinner. My hair looks amazing. I was giving happiness the reason to this but am starting to realize that one hour a day is responsible for all this positive change.
Now let’s be honest you can stroll or walk. I sweat. I have to change after and shower. Fast paced. Light jog. You have to get your heart rate up. I have been taking advantage of this Fall weather and walking almost everyday with my Mom. Once winter hits it will be time to move this workout to gym.
Check out the benefits.
Top 5 Benefits and Fun Ways of Walking for an Hour

Colony Grill...Pig Salad Please
My friend calls this the “can’t decide on what I want pizza” which is true. I ordered a half bacon and a half sausage and peppers. Amazing. I love this place. I don’t go too often but it’s so good. So then my friend orders their pizza. Pig salad please. Um what? I was like did you ask for a pig salad?
Yep.
Wanna guess what that is?
It’s a bacon pizza topped with salad. I never heard of that but makes sense. It looked delicious and I learned something new.
If you haven’t been to Colony Grill you have to go.
You ARE In Control
For so long I thought others where in control until I realized every time I was around them or spoke to them my mood shifted. Insecurity set it. Their words replayed in my head. I was short temper. Hurt. Sad.
And then I said to myself STOP!
You don’t have to give your attention to people who don’t deserve it. Carry on! ❤️

No This Time I Thank You
I used to get ready to go out and feel sad and down. I didn’t want to meet new people. I didn’t want to start the cycle all over. So in my head I had doubts. I had pain. I wanted my life to be the way it had been beginning this year.
And then it all changed.
I was grateful my life changed. I was happy. I looked at my past situation and said lesson learned moved on. Every time I went out I said Thank You in my head.
Once you fully end things with someone is when you can fully heal and move on. It’s awful at first. Sad. Lonely. But let me tell you when you start to love yourself and know your worth the whole game changes. The whole GAME is in YOUR control. No one else’s.
Thank people for leaving your life. It’s the best thing for you in the long run!
Enjoy The Process...I Mean Your Process
This...is spot on. What this year taught me was to remember to love yourself. To be happy in your skin. To not tolerate any behavior you wouldn’t let a girlfriend tolerate. To know that when one door closes a hundred more open. It’s magical. Life. Really is an amazing journey.
Stuff happens along the way. Pain. Suffering. Heartache. But then it gets easier and you smile more. You look happier. You feel happier. You attract happiness. You attract HAPPINESS.
Enjoy YOUR Process!

Village Gourmet You Gotta Roll With It
It’s not easy working from home. People tend to think you’re always available and kids always are home when no school. I still have to work but today was different.
I luckily wasn’t too busy. They come home this morning and I said here are some options for our day. Once we agreed I stuck to it. Work. Snack. Work. Lunch. Work. Halloween Costumes. Work. Dentist. Dinner. Cuddle on couch. Bed time.
Parenting isn’t easy but can be fun. When you create a routine or schedule it’s easier to juggle it all. Now it’s one day. I get it. Maybe multiple days would be different but life is like this.
We haven’t been to Village Gourmet in a long time. It was delicious as usually but this time we ordered the chicken satay as an appetizer and it was so good. I am always a fan of their chicken and string beans the girls love their scallion pancakes and dumplings. Also they are the only people I know who order lomein without any vegetables. But whatever it takes to make them happy.
It was a great night.
Appreciate These Types Of Friendships
Grateful for my amazing group of girlfriends. My “you around tonight” or “go for it” girlfriends. The ones that say “call me when you get home”. The ones that help build me up and I do same for them. This journey is so amazing. I wish everyone could embrace and enjoy it like I have. ❤️
Halloween Fun at Party City
Every year we come here to get the kids costumes. I always say pick whatever costume you want. As long as they use them I don’t care. We always end up having a lot of silly fun.
I love this time of year. You can be creative and have fun. You can be whatever you like. I love dressing up. I love the endless possibilities.
Be sure to use a coupon if you go.
Enjoy You First
I did this. I went to the movies by myself. I went out to dinner by myself. I took myself out. I connected with who I was. So yes now it’s nice to have people
to do it with but be happy alone. Once you are everything else falls back into place. 💛

Rye House in Port Chester
Of course we had tacos first. It’s taco Tuesday. But then we went to Rye House around the corner for an after dinner drink. The place is really nice. Clean. Modern inside. We watched the game. The food smelled amazing. We will go back for dinner but a great spot for great conversation.
Mecha Noodle Rocks...Pho Sure
Hello comfort food. Deliciousness in every bite. Not best pictures but trust me we could have order another round of everything!!
Pork Boas, Mushroom dumplings- oh my these are amazing, red dumplings had a little heat but delicious, and then I got the “cure” and added shrimp to it. So delicious. I love the ambiance. I haven’t been in a while so when a friend suggested it I was like let’s go!
If you haven’t been then you’re missing out “pho” sure!
You Will Continue To Be Tested Until You Change
It was the same thing. A pattern. I said no. Not again and walked away. So many other opportunities to live a drama free life. Happy. Peacefully.
You will be tested over and over until you learn your lesson. I will never put myself back into the same situation that once caused me pain and heartache. This time I am wiser and know the world is full of opportunities.
I was talking to a girlfriend and told her and she said good you learned. I said “ I did. I broke my cycle. I am happy why would I repeat past mistakes.”
You must learn or you will repeat your cycles. You must learn so your life can change.
I wasn’t tested on purpose and now know that part of my journey has come to an end.
Cafe Dolce In Norwalk
I have been here before for pastries only so when a friend asked to grab breakfast here I was excited to go back. This time I got their ham, mushroom and Gouda cheese crepe. Delicious. I must admit their iced coffee is probably the best I have had in a long time. I bought a chocolate and almond croissant for the family to try. They loved them. The ambiance is nice too.
I Am Proud Of You...You’re Brave
It will hurt. The pain will become manageable. You learn to rebuild yourself. Then you wake up and will say. Wow. Look how amazing and beautiful my life is. All that you have been through will be in your past. That’s when you look in the mirror and say “I am proud of you.”
