Today’s National Do A Grouch A Favor Day
Today’s National Day is pretty funny. Do you have a grouch in your life? If so do something nice for them. Turn their frown upside down.
Families That Read Together...One Question & Meditation
I mentioned my new book I am reading. So tonight I gave the girls 30 minutes before dinner to play and I read my book. I asked for a highlighter and my little one asked to help me. So I put her to work as I read.
This chapter it asked “If I loved myself truly and deeply would I let myself experience this?”
So what is the “this” well that’s up to you to fill in. Could be anything. Could be in a lacking relationship. Could be a job you’re not happy with. Could be a bad habit you’re trying to get rid of. It’s up to you to really think about it.
This chapter on meditation says inhale saying I love myself. Exhale saying.....
I won’t say what I exhale. It just kindof came out. It was along the lines of sorry I allowed myself to put up with bullshit I didn’t deserve.
Now your turn.
Sit against a wall. Close your eyes. Inhale saying to yourself I love myself. Exhale saying...
Fill in your blank.
Do You Want The Bag Back?
We celebrated Valentine’s Day today at my parents. We give everyone a special valentine. I hand my sisters back my kids empty bags and ask “do you want the bags back.”
They laughed how I always do that for them and they actually love and appreciate it. Well what do I need 9 Valentine’s Day bags for? Why not give them back to reuse again. I must say it’s the little gestures that add up. ❤️
After I saw this post and had to share with them.
We Are All Crossing Paths For A Reason
I like people I can learn from. Whether it’s about hunting or why people fish late at night or early morning because that’s when there isn’t a lot of wind or about places to check out. I love the food and work our tips I get. I love learning. I love and appreciate when someone takes the time to teach me something. “Did you know...”
I started to see a pattern. Once I learned something from someone my journey with them came to an end. I almost knew ok I won’t see them again thank you for the lesson or information.
It wasn’t sad. It gave me peace. See we are all here to help eachother. To teach or be taught. To get love or give love.
When we hold on that’s when problems occur.
Feb 16th Reflect...
Take nothing personal!
One thing I learned in business was to never take anything personal. To leave all emotions out. Always. Business is business. Be ethical and professional but nothing has to do with you deep down. As a person. Be professional and never communicate when angry.
Keep Growing & Changing
I wouldn’t even recognize the girl I was three years ago. But here’s a funny story.
A guy I was seeing didn’t end things so well. Just kindof stopped. Very confusing. He later reached out to me around the holidays but was short and I wondered why even bother.
So I run into him over the weekend. He immediately kisses me on the cheek and asks how I am. I say good and walk away. I am short.
I later wonder how he was so quick to say something to me yet he never reached out prior to this weekend again. So I changed and realized I had blocked him ever since his last brief text.
Now I have no intentions of speaking to him. It was nice to see how quick he said hello. But blocking him
meant not having access to my energy. Even now he doesn’t.
Don’t continue to make space for people who drop in and out. Also learn that lessons are lessons. Not to be repeated. To be learned and to carry on.
Him being blocked meant even if he wanted to he couldn’t come back in.
You aren’t who you were years ago. You’re better. Stronger. Happier. Brighter. More loving but smarter. Tougher yet graceful.
Remember that when weak opportunities cross your path.

Love is Within...
If you’re not a fit for them, then they aren’t a fit for you.
These lessons are what you need in life. At the time it hurts like hell but it’s all meant to be. Trust your journey.

What You Deserve...
If you’re not happy. If it’s not how you want it to be. Then please make a change. You deserve a beautiful life. Is it perfect? No never! Can it be. Yes, somewhat, in time.
How Do You Start Your Mornings?
Mine started with meditation music and this book that a group of us decided to start to read. Ok ok so my friend is getting her wish of starting a book club...but really it’s a fun, easy, relaxing activity to do. Right? I wanted volleyball not available so next option was reading which I wanted to start to do again.
Our first book is:
So today you will say to yourself “I love myself”. Because that’s what it’s about right! Loving yourself so then you can love others.
Feel free to get the book and read along with us. I will
be posting about it.
Bazille in Sono Collection
It was a group of us. Single and ready to enjoy Valentine’s Day together. Needless to say was an amazing night that started off with an awesome dinner at Bazille in Nordstrom in the Sono Mall in Norwalk.
A friend got the crab soup which was delicious. The steak was so good and came with an awesome kalamata olive spread. My friend’s drink came with pop rocks was so fun. We shared dessert- warm chocolate chip cookie with ice cream topped with their salted caramel chocolate.
We had an awesome waiter too. Lots of laughs and great company with happy bellies.
I love the mall. We always walk through Nordstrom for a coffee. Stop by to check out this restaurant. So good.
Bixby’s Derby Taproom at Kartrite
What a great restaurant. It was in the resort. Our waiter was amazing and friendly. He even asked whose birthday is next and ironically my middle one in a couple weeks so he brought out a cupcake and sang.
I had the blue cheeseburger delicious. The girls loved their meals- pasta, grilled cheese, Mac and cheese, and of course truffle fries. They had portobello mushroom fries and delicious flat breads.
The Kartrite Resort and Indoor Waterpark
Back in October I won a night away here. I guessed an answer to a question on a radio show.
The kids had a couple of days off so it was the perfect opportunity to take them away.
It felt awesome to put on flip flops and walk around in a bathing suit and dress. The hotel is super clean. Beautiful inside. So much to do and see. The restaurants were really good. The arcade is huge and even has bowling and virtual reality games. There’s an obstacle course were you zip line and rocks walls
This place is no joke. We had an awesome time.
The water park is really fun. Has a lazy river. A spring water pool where you go outside yet so warm and steam is coming off.
They have huge tubes and smaller areas for younger kids. Very clean. Everyone is super friendly.
They even have bar and cabanas to rent.
Pina colada in one hand. Pool towels in another. Hair down and curling up and not caring. Was the perfect getaway.
It was less than two hours to get to. I saw 7 families I knew from Norwalk here. I would totally come back and recommend it. Perfect for kids ages 2-12.
