This Should Be Everyone’s Goal

Don’t rush. Don’t get inpatient. Just let it all flow. We, well I, used to always want to know the outcome so I rushed it. I had doubt if I didn’t get fast results along the way. I didn’t enjoy the process and would react.

No one knows how anything will turn out. Just let it flow. Enjoy the process and love every step of the way.

Look For The Blessing in Disguise

Today’s Affirmation

Let’s Play Chess

I haven’t played in over 25 years. Weird right? I just never had the opportunity. My uncle used to play so when my boyfriend told me he’s been playing since he was in the Navy I said I would like to try it again. I haven’t played in so long.

He brought his board over and since then we have been playing. He left it at my place so I could play with my oldest. Ironically she wasn’t that interested but my little ones were.

My middle one is pretty amazing. She’s not shy to take risks. She’s pretty aggressive in her moves. My youngest asked for me to take it easy on her which of course I did but her too understood all the moves really fast.

Chess-a simple yet complex game. A friend said it’s easy to learn but takes a lifetime to master. I have to agree!

Transformation Is Welcomed

Healthy Discussions

I don’t like the word arguing. I like discussions. Why? Because who the hell likes to argue? Not me but I always am up for a healthy discussion.

Disagreements are normal. We will tend to have them with people throughout our lifetime. But you must be respectful. You must honor the fact that no two people think alike.

Talk it out. When in doubt talk it out. I always love people I can learn from. I may not agree with their beliefs but it does educate me. Treat misunderstandings as a process to learn from one another.

There’s no need to get physical or loud. You can agree to disagree while still respecting each other and creating a healthy outcome so you both have an understanding that makes your relationship/friendship, mind and knowledge stronger.

Did You Set Your Goals?

We started this last year New Year. I wrote all of our names on a separate piece of paper and we listed some goals we had for ourselves and even suggested to others some goals they should work on. We then tape them to the fridge so they are reminders to us throughout the year.

It’s actually a great reflection too and I am surprised my girls are ok with it. I listed mine and asked my girls what should I add to mine. Then we went around a circle and everyone did the same thing.

It’s not to insult anyone or to make their weaknesses known. It’s about accepting we always are a work in progress and should always find was to better ourselves.

Mine were to practice more mindfulness, increase physical activities, do more yoga and be more patient and understanding.

What goals did you set for yourself? It doesn’t have to be in the New year. It can be every week or month or whatever you like. Just always be sure to work on bettering yourself so you can better the people around you and be better for the people around you.

New Year...New Memories

Today we read all our 2020 memories that we filled our vase with. Even though Covid was a tough and rough ride it was still nice to look back on the little things that made us happy.

We restart the vase today for 2021.New Year. New memories.

I must say it really is a simple yet beautiful thing to do. We all took turns picking a paper out of the vase and reading it.

We started our new 2021 vase and already had some things to add to it.

I hope 2021 brings you happiness...big and small.

Embrace Your Journey

Love Isn’t Hard Loving The Wrong Person Is

I was hesitant about sharing my relationship so openly. It had a lot to do with the fact that times I was in love it fell apart. Out of my control. Nothing I could have done to change the outcome.

So when I met him I honestly didn’t think it would turn into anything. But then I noticed he was different than the rest. He was emotionally mature. Didn’t carry any emotional baggage. Has a stable parenting relationship with his ex. He’s intelligent. Has a reputable type of job. As I started to learn the real him I started to fall hard.

When you open yourself up a flood gate of insecurities and doubt and past pain comes rushing at you. I had a hard time adjusting but I knew I had to change or this relationship wouldn’t work. At times I almost walked away due to fear. Fear of opening my heart and risking getting hurt.

But he always made it all see seem so easy. He was always so calm and understanding and supportive. Then we started to take our relationship to the next level. We created a routine. We met each others families and kids and we are now in a position to truly accept eachother for 100% who they are.

Will it be forever? No one knows or can say. Will I continue to enjoy our “perfect relationship”without the fear of the end result. Yes. Because it’s perfect for us. For what we need and for who we are. It works for us.

It taught me I can be happy in it or out because I am happy with myself. For facing those flood gates of past pain and emotions and saying it’s ok. This is different this time. You handled that you can handle anything.

Love isn’t hard. Loving the wrong person is so freaking hard. Know the difference! Allow yourself to love the right one.
