STOP WAITING: TOMORROW IS PROMISED TO NO ONE

Jun3

I love this! It’s so true and so inspiring! It seems as if many/most of us *know* we aren’t guaranteed tomorrow but we don’t let it sink in, we don’t truly realize it. And this seems true for us no matter what our age is, old or young, we have this delusion of immortality/forever. We feel as if our own selves and everyone we know are going to just always be here. But it’s really not true and it can be viewed in a grim or negative way but it can also be viewed with acceptance and we can see it as just reality and even be inspired by it. 
Sometimes it’s horrible “wakeup calls” that remind us of this fact of life, like someone we know dying or someone almost dying or a brief brush with death or health scare. 
But we don’t need these serious things to remind us, we can just remind ourselves each day even when nothing life threatening happens. 
It’s always great to have reminders like this! Thank you!! ❤ 😀

Best Days <3

An older post of mine about celebrating the simple things in life, the mundane, the often overlooked. It doesn’t have to be an unusual kind of day, a vacation, a big event, an anniversary…for it to be a best day! 😀 ❤

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson 

This post is about a day that I can say with complete certainty is one of the best days I ever experienced. I can’t say I have one day that is “the best day of my life.” I have occasions many days that I can say qualify as “the best.” And I don’t think there should be just one or a few days that are the best. I want to make every day as best as possible. Some will be better than others. Some will even suck for the most part and that’s quite alright!

But some days really stand out to me as the absolute best! And Monday, June 1st, 2015 is one such day!

Why do I remember the date? I’m really not sure. Maybe because it’s the first…

Open Your Heart

By now you should know the law of the Universe is a law of love. You have the key to your heart and your heart is the key to everything else.

Opening your heart means you are opening yourself to give and to receive.

However, you’ve been hurt before. Careful who and what you open yourself to.  It’s okay to take your time. Take your time. Gage and assess. Follow your intuition. Please listen to your inner-voice. If you feel something is wrong, don’t go or don’t do it. If you feel someone is bad for you, walk away from that individual. Let them deal with themselves for a while. You do not want to attract darkness again. Your goal is to open your heart and welcome the Universe into your life.

I absolutely love this!! First, true beauty is inner beauty, personality, but it’s also good to celebrate physical beauty (our own and each other’s) and beautiful women come in all sizes, big, small, thin, curvy, average, athletic, short, tall, medium, overweight, various skin colors, weight….our size and weight don’t define how beautiful we are, even physically. The culture we live in and individual people we encounter can really influence our opinion of ourselves if we let it so it’s important to be mindful of when we are allowing others/society to contribute to dragging ourselves down and choose to rise above. 
And the only opinion of our own beauty that really matters is our own. It’s true that if we feel so low about our physical appearance or other aspects of our self, someone else’s positive opinion may help us but it also may not.
If we feel very low about ourselves, someone else’s positive words may be sweet but do nothing for us.
And if we have unconditional love for ourselves, someone else’s and society’s opinions won’t touch us usually (although no matter how confident we are in general and no matter how great our self esteem, we can still have moments/days where we feel low, ugly, overweight, just blah…. it’s just part of living and is ok.) 
I’m so happy you found this quote and it helps you and so happy you shared it!
Sometimes the things people say to us directly when we’re struggling do not help us much even when it’s meant to but the things we happen to stumble upon on blogs and other social  media outlets can help tremendously. 
And I’m so happy you have a loving and encouraging man!
Not everyone can say that about the person they are romantically involved with or the people who surround them. You are blessed! ❤ 
Thank you so much for sharing this! It can take courage & strength to share our temporary or long term weaknesses or insecurities and it's worth it because it allows people to know us and love us better and to also inspire others who may have a similar issue. By sharing our problems and our strength, we can help empower others and our own selves. ❤
Thank you for sharing your inner & outer beauty with the world! ❤ 😀

“Beauty is in the way you hold yourself. It’s how you treat people. The way you love. It’s self acceptance. Beauty is in your soul. If you think you’re any more of a person because your face is nice you need a reality check”

I needed to read this today.

For the past couple weeks I have been feeling stronger physically, I’ve had more energy and my skin is killin’ it. Yesterday I stepped on a scale and all of that vanished.

I gained 12 pounds in 6 months. I’ve been walking an hour a day every day and exercising at least 3 times a week.

What the f? I came home and was almost in tears and when I told my man he said “…whatever you look great…” so many emotions went through my head anger, frustration and disappointment pooled in my belly until I realized how…
