It’s Ok To Start Over Until You Get It Right
Like probably the 100th. Sounds so silly. It does. But it was. The 100th time I said to myself let it go. Just let it go
Re-focus your life on what’s important and who is worth your time. Everyone plays a role right. But you decide which one. If they want to decide and you don’t agree then let them go.
Re-set your beliefs. How things should be verse how they are. Peace and happiness and good core values are the main goal. When you’re not aligned you’re off.
Re-start as many times as you need until you get it right. It may take months or years or a day. Just do it. Until you’re fully happy.
Look At Everything In A Positive Way
I’ve had the time of my life...and it came at costs of some really bad crappy times. I won’t lie. It was. But the outcome far exceeds the bad and everyday is a step in even a better one. No room for drama or pain or hate or fighting or miscommunication. Only surround yourself with people who value your presence. Not flaw you or cause chaos or uncertainty. Life’s too short for games and chaos. Embrace how far you’ve come.
Your Healing Is Your Responsibility
Don’t take it out on anyone else. Your healing is your responsibility.
You Go Girl...
Of course we all want someone to take care of us. I had a friend who was sick and it was so foreign to me when someone suggested to bring him medicine. I was like um isn’t that what companions do? Don’t we help eachother. Lookout for eachother. Now there are situations where someone is the giver and someone is the taker. There has to be a balance. A give and take situation.
Now when you’re alone. You take care of you. You don’t depend on anyone. Yes it’s nice when someone suggests to help you but you’re alone. You figure stuff out alone and well it’s empowering. It builds you’re character.
I met a ton of people who says wow you’re different. You’re a cool girl who gets it. I get it because I have been through a lot. I have faced a lot and seen a lot and now just try to keep things real.
We all have the survival in us. To be able to be alone and depend on ourselves for happiness. For gratification. For self love.
No one wants to be alone forever but in the mean time it’s pretty powerful doing things for yourself and be whole while single. Anyone else is just an addition. I don’t want to need someone. I want to want someone. There’s a difference.

Sorry But Not Sorry Cause It Is How Life Is
In every situation someone gets hurt. Right. So we have all done it. Not intentionally but when it’s you. When you’re hurting you have a couple of choices.
This is your only control. What to do with your life going forward.
It was a wave. Up and down. Then a song came on. Was so weird. I started to relive all the emotions. I had to change it. Then another song came on and it hit another wound. Then another.
It’s like I couldn’t escape it. I then listened. To all the songs. All the wounds opened. Every emotion. Then something magical happened. They didn’t hurt anymore.
See we have the only one power. It’s our emotions. Within us. How we feel. How we react. I never wanted to relive those wounds. Doubt. Words. Drama. Pathetic. Loving something not worth loving.
I have too many times in my life.
Bye to that.
Say sorry to yourself and pick yourself up. Every word said was replayed in my head. Like flashbacks. Every emotion. Every person who impacted my heart. Every pathetic plea I ever made. Every word I accepted that I didn’t deserve.
I apologized to myself, to my heart and deleted that Pandora station from my list.
Feel Good Song: Lean On Me
I was 13-15 years old. A group of five of us girls used to always hang out. I mean we spent everyday together. Summer we alternated whose house to sleep over. This song was “our song”. I know sounds silly but remember that age. Where life is “hard” yeah if we only knew then what we know now. But really was a shaping point in my life.
This song came on this morning as I am bringing all my girls to school the first time this week. My oldest is in the front seat next to me. I am singing my lungs out to this. She looks at me like I am crazy. It’s perfect. I am such a person to push her buttons just to get a grin out of her. She asks me to turn it off and to stop singing but I don’t. I drop her off and while I am driving to the other school my youngest says. Hey mom turn it up, I actually like this song.
My girl.
It’s funny how music hits us. How one song brings a flood of emotions and memories. It actually put me in a great mood. The crazy stories. The journey. Being young and thinking we are so powerful and nothing can harm us or hurt us. The courage we had verse now. Amazing.

Did You Know Hugging?
I could have really used a hug after the craziness I had. Hugging is really powerful and soothing. Never knew it can help you trust someone. Be sure to hug someone today.
This Week Can End Already...
When you have multiple kids you run the risk of germs spreading. I swear my last three days have been filled with medicine. Tea. Pasta soup. Tylenol. Doctor visits.
At one point I lost my mind today. Yep. It happens. Not on the kids. Of course not. Not their fault but just in general. Like WTF!
Work is swamped. Kids are whining. Every time I brought one to school I had to come back for them. Yep. That type of week.
So I had a meeting at school tonight and on the way back I said F-it. Just go home and cuddle and hang and screw all the other stuff. Work is work. Life is life.
So I did. I came home and got the medicine and ice pops and cuddle. Tea. Cleaned for the 100th time and crashed on the couch.
These moments don’t last. The moments of torture never last. And I am not overreacting. If you’re a real person you get it. When your routine is off and you haven’t slept well in two days up checking on the kids and running water on wash cloths to bring their temperatures down. At one point I took them to store for more medicines and said buy whatever you want. They loaded up on junk food. We ran into a friend at the checkout line and he was laughing at our carriage of comfort food.
So the moments in your life that suck don’t last. At the moment it’s awful. But then something happens and you laugh and it’s ok and before you know it you’re back in your routine.
I was done. Depleted.
Then my little one said I made you dinner.
My middle one cuddled with me. My oldest said I love you mom.
And it all hit me. My role in life is for them. Even through the chaos. It’s for them.
Always Remember Your Role In Life...
The good you do for others always comes back. Be a good person always.
Aging By The Hour...Daily Hustle Catches Up To You
I was getting ready this morning when my 10 year old was getting ready with me. She turns to me and says you look young. I said really how young. Well you look 46 by the end of the day but 28 in the morning.
She was so right and it’s a bit scary.
By 9:00 pm my tolerance level is zero. Even though I must admit my oldest and I have been bonding late at night while her sisters sleep. We have been watching Mr. Mom a series and finished it so now have to pick something else.
But by bed time with little ones I have raccoon eyes and am exhausted. Crazy how that works. How throughout the day we can age and well our kids notice.
I guess there’s nothing wrong with it since I wake up and look 28 every morning again, joking of course, but no matter how calm we try to remain. How at peace we are. The daily hustle catches up to us and by night it shows- according to my 10 yr old.

KISS- Keep It Simple Stupid
I always loved this phrase. Like don’t complicate things. Don’t ask for drama. Keep life simple. Magical. Romantic. Happy. Spontaneous. Adventurous. Grateful.
You have so much to give. I have so much to give. Enjoy that. Enjoy the little simple stuff.
When you’re with the right person no one else will matter. When you’re at the right job you are excited to go to work. When you’re in the right home you have peace.
Simple. How easy life could be if we accepted the simple pleasures in life.
But I am Happy...Really Happy
I wrote about this before here. I was talking to a friend. He said how many happy people do you know. Um...a ton!
Now like my previous article no one is 100% happy and if so it is short lived. But you can be happy. Not perfect. Yet happy and to me that’s important. Like really important.
There are some situations that still hurt and that’s ok. You get used to situations and go on with life. You can still be happy and carry a little pain in your heart.
I think that’s what life is about. Being happy even when things may not go your way. Even if your heart hurts. Even if we have some sadness BUT majority of us is Happy. Wake up excited to start the day. Go to bed smiling. Because nothing is ever perfect. Nothing is guaranteed. No one is going to make you happy. No one can come in and change your life. You have to.
So let it all go. Today. Anything holding your happiness back has to be set free.
I have my family and work and friends and constant fun and love of life. So I am single. My princess charming isn’t ready for me yet.
Only YOU can be in control of your life and happiness. Accept the 90%.
I promise you it helps with your health and mood and outlook on life. Don’t settle. Don’t stay comfortable.
I promise you it helps with your health and mood and outlook on life. Don’t settle. Don’t stay comfortable.
Spontaneous has been my 2019 word and I like it. I mean love it.
Have A Great Day... That’s All It Takes
I rolled out of bed and went for routine bloodwork. It’s super early. Like too early. So I show up and there’s a couple people there. We are all of course on our phones.
A woman walks out of the lab area and towards the exit. As she’s leaving one lady in waiting room says have a great day. The lady is a bit shocked and says thank you, same to you.
I was a bit shocked too. So then when the lady who said that was leaving I said to her have a great day and she smiled and said same to me.
I wanted to reciprocate it back to her.
When I was in Atlanta everyone was so nice. We would walk down the street and everyone would say good morning or have a great day to us.
We aren’t that friendly in the upper East Coast. We are so busy and occupied with our own lives and cell phones that when someone is polite to us we are set back and shocked.
I want you to do this today. I want you to say to a random stranger have a great day. You will see you want to do it over and over because it feels good.
