HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

I wanted to dedicate this blog to all the mothers on their special day with some inspiring quotes.

I have lost my mother, godmother and nana who I love very much and want to still show my love for them.

Hope you enjoy some inspirational quotes about mothers:

*Life doesn’t come with a manual, but it comes with a mother

*Moms are like buttons- they hold everything together

*There is nothing as powerful as a mother’s love and nothing as healing as a child’s soul

*Being a mother is not about what you give up to have a child but what you have gain from having a one

*Of all the gifts that life has to offer a loving mother is the greatest of them all

*Love your mother. We are so busy growing up, we often forget she is also growing old

*A mother is your first friend, your best friend, your friend forever

*To the world you are a mother, but to your family you are the world

Wishing you all a Mother’s Day as fabulous as you!

RESURRECTION

The word resurrection has many definitions, but the one I appreciate is “the condition of having been restored to life.”

We all have had circumstances that felt like it was such a heavy burden to carry, not knowing where to turn or how we would even get from under these problems.

We all struggle to get an answer to situations that happens, and it just seems so far away. But we keep pushing thru the heartache and pain to get to the other side. The struggle brings you to the other side so that you are able to see a resolution. A side much easier to travel thru and weep the rewards of the struggle.

Out of every resurrection comes a new birth that makes travels of life easier to maneuver. I am not saying that the struggles in life won’t happen but once you have gone thru the challenge, you will be able to recognize what is happening and start the situation immediately.

When one is barged down with a problem it is hard to see yourself moving thru it. A resurrection is a clear direction when you have risen above the situation…

A resurrection is a re-birth of your life and a chance to look at your situation with clearer eyes and make changes to your life.

SOUL MATE CONNECTIONS

I believe that everyone has a soul mate on this earth. We all know what a soulmate is, if not, it is a person ideally suited to you as a close friend or romantic partner. They complement you in every way. They try and help guide throughout your life in a happy and safe manner.

A soul mate will love you with love that is so powerful that you feel you can accomplish anything in this world. There is a difference between the love of your life and your soulmate; one is a choice the other one is not.

A true soul mate is a the most important person you will meet because they tear the walls and make you face your true self. They will always be there to hold and comfort you throughout this process, which help when reality sets in, that because they are real friends. In this lifetime you will love many times but only one love will burn your soul forever.

Having a soul mate isn’t always about romance but you can find a soulmate in a friend as well. Our soul mate makes life come to life for you.

A soul mate is the person that you can spill your heart out to, and they will always be there to listen and comfort you. They are not going to tell you what to do but they allow you to express your disappointments and upsets aloud so you can see it and resolve it. They are always there to help you pick up those pieces.

When a soul is ready it’s mate will appear. A soul mate brings out the best in you. They are not perfect, but they are perfect for you. A soul mate is one that understands you even in silence. To the world you may appear to be one person but to one person you may be their world.

Your soul mate is one that mends a broken heart by simply giving you theirs. If you are fortunate enough to find your soul mate cherish that person and allow them to show you real love.

When love runs soul deep. a kiss in no longer just a kiss. It is the place where heaven and earth meet

DREAMS

We all have dreams and desires that we wish to come to pass. The dreams I am referring to are not the ones we dream when we are sleeping but the hopes and desires that we want to accomplish in our life.

We set goals for ourselves for the future that we wish to grow into. We all work hard toward making these dreams come true. by setting steps into motion to help us accomplished them.

Consider your dreams as plans to build toward your future. A heart without dreams is like a bird without feathers.

If you can dream it; you can do it. Dreams have no set time to be completed because they don’t have an expiration date.

When one works hard to achieve their dreams, they do come true but don’t stop dreaming about things you want and what you wish to become Continue to grow and achieve the things you are striving for and the person you want to become.

DREAM IT, BELIEVE IT BUILD IT AND ACHIEVE IT!

TEARS OF HOPE

We all have moments when we get overwhelmed with life. not knowing where to turn or where to go for relief. It seems so often that we don’t have a place to go even in our heads.

Just like a pot of boiling water that has no escape just boils over. This is what happens when we as humans have no room to turn or nowhere to release the noise, we just cry.

Stop and look at where you are, make a step in any direction because whatever directions you go you have to make some kind of decision. Some of these decisions might be hard to make or even seem a long reach to take. Standing in one space doesn’t change anything, things remain the same.

It might sound crazy but when one sheds a tears it create claritiy. It seems to release and clear the way for more thoughts, making space to make our thoughts clearer.

Some of us are so afraid to cry because it makes you feel weak but believe it or not crying show strength not weakness. It allows you to wash away those uncertainties and clears the way for a different direction.

Let us think of this like a pot of water that is being heating up on the stoves, standing there waiting for that water to boil. We are standing in one spot waiting for the water to boil so that we can use it. Once that water does boil, we are then able to use it for its true purpose.

I believe for every tear we shed helps us to see thing more clearly. So, if you feel overwhelmed and confused can’t see which way to go, let’s stop and shed some tears of hope. Hope that we can make the move in a positive direction. Notice I said positive and not correct, because for every step you take you don’t know if that is the correct step until you make it and see the results.

Have faith that you are stepping in the correct direction and see where it will take you.

“Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.” ― Antoine Rivarol

FRIENDSHIPS

Friendships are a relationship of mutual affection between people, it is an interpersonal bond.

A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself with and the except that as it is. All friends are not for life but if you have a true friend, you have a full life.

A true friend is not someone we chose for ourselves but rather someone God has placed in our life for a purpose. A true friend is seen through the heart not by eyes.

True friendship helps you grow, keeps you grounded, lifts your spirits and brightens your life.

Friends are not always with you, but they are always there for you. Friends will not allow you to do stupid things because they will let you know from the start how dumb something is. They make you stop and think about what you are about to do. People come in and out of our life, but only true friends leave a footprint in our heart.

A good friend is like a four-leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.

When it hurts to make decisions, or it is hard to move forward always look to the side where a true friend will be standing.

Friendships are not just one thing it is a million little things that bonds two people. Once that bond is established it will be an unbreakable connection.

So, when you come across an individual that seems to always be there and helps you in your time of need, hold on to that person because they care and let go of those that cause you drama. One that cares could become a true friend.

'LOVE'

Love is such a simple emotion promoted by the heart. It is something that is grown within the heart, an emotion that can’t be lied about but can be said comfortably as a lie. The most important things that everyone must do is to LOVE themselves in order to love someone else. To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance, said Oscar Wilde.

There is so many ways to love a person and each and every one of those ways are important, but the romantic love is the one that get all the attention in February. This is the month that you are supposed to show that significant other your feelings and emotions, it is Valentine month, when the heart is supposed to express how you and your soul is feeling toward another person.

When you love someone, every day is Valentine Day when you’re in the right relationship. We fall in love by chance, and we stay in love by choice.

Love is a two-way street that is constantly under construction, because true love stories never have and ending. Just because we hold on to a relationship that we are not happy with doesn’t mean we are in love; just means we have become comfortable with the person we are with.

Love is like a rubber band held by two people;so, if one person lets go someone will gets hurt.

Love is a feeling that is awaken by someone giving it meaning. That person wakes up the emotion that is buried inside of you and makes the love inside come alive. Awaken those feelings that have always been there but just been tapped by a special person.

So have a happy cup of love on “HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY”.

FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness is such a hard action to do when one is hurt. To forgive someone that hurts you is a challenge, but it also a relief from a heavy burden on the heart.

Forgiveness is a leaned act once you experience hurt and disappointment. To create an act of forgiveness is a gift to your heart. We first need to learn to forgive ourselves for disappointment and things we have done in our lifetime.

Forgiveness is about extending mercy to those who have harmed or disappointed us, even if you feel they don’t deserve it. Forgiveness helps us to increase our self-esteem, gives you confidence to move forward and gives us inner strength.

Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness but strength. It is not about letting someone off the hook for their actions but freeing ourselves of negative energies that bind us to them. When you don’t forgive that hurt and disappointment it becomes a continuous memory.

Let’s all take a moment and think about someone that you need to forgive that has been weighing heavy on your heart. Who do you need to say “I forgive you for… “in order to lighten your heart and move forward from the memories? Forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself (Maya Angelou).

“FORGIVENESS DOES NOT CHANGE THE PAST BUT iT DOES ENLARGE THE FUTURE” Paul Lewis Boese

Starting Over

A New Year began and we should all start a new journey and new accomplishments of our dreams. Trying to turn our hope and dreams into reality. Starting new thoughts and emotions in a New Year.

Last year was stressful to many of us because of all the new adjustments me had to make throughout the year. We have gone thru ups and downs that molded all our fears and thoughts. Looking at the past year, 2021, should have been used as a learning period and time to reflect. We are all entitle to our opinions but last year seems like everyone was trying to influence your thoughts with their thought and beliefs. It seems that hatred and dislike rose their ugly head causing a lot of upsets, confusion and hatred.

A virus took over the country causing a division among us, making beliefs and thoughts seem wrong. With no one knowing how to handle or cure it caused a challenge to all human beings. All this uncertainty was causing our country in different directions, causing our souls and hearts to hurt.

Starting over doesn’t mean forgetting what you have experience from the past but growing and gaining strength from all you have learned from the past.

Starting over is taken things that happened to you in the past year and learn something that will make you grow toward the future in order to start something new. Hanging onto the past doesn’t allow you to move forward but it is just like standing still. The past upsets should push us forward to create new pathway and new dreams to our life. One never knows what is ahead of us until we take that step.

I am hoping that this New Year gives us back the independence of thought and mind. The time where we can all think freely and have free speech without the fear of being kill

“Hearts rebuilt from hope resurrect dreams killed by hate.” Aberjhani, The River of Winged Dreams

NEW BEGININGS IN A NEW YEAR

Parents and Children in today's Pandemic

Hello everyone,

I am sorry for the long silence of the blog but i have returned with a little incite about parents and children during this coronavirus time. I know we are all concerned and worried about their futures and how we will teach out child in this time.

This pandemic has forced us together whether we wanted it or not and that can test our patience.

I just participated in a radio show where I was asked that question, so I quoted a few steps parent could do.

I have attached a copy of the video to answer some questions, not everything was answered but just a little o get you started.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7aGSd7olbU

This is just a start of returning - I am back for you!

THOUGHTS VS OPINIONS

Hi there faithful readers,

Let me begin with explaining the difference between the two words in the title. THOUGHTS “an idea produced by thinking or occurring suddenly in the mind.” OPINIONS “ A view or judgement formed about something not necessary based on facts.

Now that we have defined the differences of the two words, I would like to hear your thoughts about how you feel in this time of confusion. I don’t want this to become a political blog but I do want t, the is to be a platform to release your thoughts without being criticized for your thoughts.

Let me begin with my thoughts on today’s situations. With all that is going on today, like the uproar over racial upset, the violence, the destroying of property, the hatred of one another, it can make your head spend. Let’s not forget the virus that has us all locked down! I know that all of these things are upsetting to us but I do want you to take the time and let me know where your head is at, how you are feeling, not POLITICAL POLICIES., not black and white but red vs red as people bleed.

Everyone has an opinion but an opinion without a solution are just empty words.

I have noticed all the yelling, fighting and discord we are having right now, but I don’t see anyone communicating with one another. Have we come so far that we, as people, forgot how to talk to one another and how to express what we feel without fear.

I feel like we just kicked up all the dust in the air and now that it has falling to the ground no one has a broom to sweep it up. We just keep walking in the same mess. With no communications of how to clean up the mess it just stays there. This is my thoughts on it and I wanted to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Your thoughts not your opinions! I would like us all to stop and start to communicate with each there. I know it has been awhile but we can all do this. Stop making it seems like it is a mountain we can’t climb when communication is the rope to help us get to the top and unity will keep us there.

Maybe I am just a wishful thinker but I believe if we show we care toward each other, others will do the same.

So, if you feel lost and alone at this time, please share your thoughts with me and share this blog with anyone you feel needs to express their thoughts, No one will judge you for how you feel.

As a life coach my whole theme is “TALK TO ME” so that we can get a better understanding of ourselves.

PLEASE NO POLITICAL OPINIONS ON THIS WEBSITE!!!

Though us all we can find PEACE!

A Year Ending....

As we come to the end of  "2017", like others years before, we need to take the time to remember our accomplishments, our disappointments and our future dreams.

We need to remember our accomplishments so that we can see what we have done for ourselves this year. These accomplishments are what fuels our energy to continue the good work and move forward. Our disappointments are to be looked at as lessons to be learned and things that we failed at should be embraced. Out of our failures come strength, new growth, new directions and new hope. Our future dreams are accomplishment we wish to happen in the future. Dreams that need to be worked on and given life to. Future dreams are in the early development stage that has to be given nourishment to grow. That must be constantly worked on in order to help it grow and move forward. It should never be something to give up on.

Also, looking at our life in "2017" Who would you say left a footprint on your heart and whose heart did you leave a footprint on? A footprint is something you did for someone else that you are remembered for.  

Did you help someone stand tall for themselves and appreciate their accomplishments? Did you opened the heart of another person and help them realized what happiness is without pain? Did someone make you smile and laugh until it hurt? Did someone help you to find out what LOVE is? Take the time to remember the happiness throughout the year!

Let us all take a moment of this year that we are about to say goodbye to and look at what happy notes we came across in "2017". Take the time before we start a new adventure in a new year, let's not forget what made us cry and the pain we experienced in order to expose us to love and hope for the future. 

Yes we made mistakes and we always will, but out of those mistakes we must look at what we have learned. A life without pain doesn't teach you to be grateful for the happiness. When we go through life trying not to fall and get hurt we forget how to live and love. 

Stop! Look! and Learn what 365 days has done for you. Who made you smile more this year or just for a part of the year, who taught you to giggle at yourself, who opened you up to believe in yourself, who picked you up and brushed you off and found a gem in you. Life passes so quickly that sometime the only thing we remember is the pain and forget the joy that does come out of the pain. 

As we reach the end of this year and hope we can carry over the happy days from this year just remember they are now memories to carry over into the new year. Once the new year begins so does new adventures which will turn into memories. So, at the end of "2018" we will have more memories to carry over.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

The Secret of Christmas....

As we all approach this special day called Christmas we begin to run around, buying gifts, sending cards and mailing packages. We try to make sure that everything is covered from mailing packages, to all the  fixings for the Christmas dinner.

With all the rushing around trying to get everything done we may have forgotten the secret of the holiday.

The secret of Christmas is giving, love and appreciation. The thing that can't be bought and packaged away is sharing ourselves with each other. Giving is something we should be doing all year, not gifts but of ourselves. Being there when someone needs a helping hand. Giving of your time is the best gift you can give another individual. Love a word that in itself can't be explained. It is a feeling that runs so deep that you feel as if you could and would do anything for some one you love. this feeling should be shared throughout the year, not only at Christmastime. Appreciation is a way to express your recognition of a persons effort. Not just because they gave you a gift but because the put their best foot forward.

Christmas is not just opening presents but it is opening hearts. I hope this year when you give the gift of love that you will practice spreading love and appreciation all year long.

Take the time to appreciate and love each other at this time and always.  

MERRY 2017 CHRISTMAS!!

Be Thankful.....

This is the week that we will be celebrating "Thanksgiving Day." That day is when you eat until your heart is content. Where you are served memories of your past on a plate. 

Thanksgiving is more than just eating your favorite foods and getting over stuff. It is the time for all of us to stop and think about the people and things we should be thankful for.  The things we have accomplished through the years, our treasures that we discovered on our adventure of life. The ups and downs, the laughter, the disappointments, the love and desires. Everything that effected your life in 2017.

We get so busy in life that we don't see the blessings that have come upon us at every point of our life. We are so busy that the pleasures that does come upon us get lost and the problems we incurred throughout the year hang heavy on our heart.

I spoke last time about fall being the time to look at all the accomplishments that you did throughout the year and to make changes in life for happier memories going forward. Well, Thanksgiving is part of the fall adjustment, the time when you stop and say thank you for everything that has happened good in your life, this year.

The more good memories that are made will help you to move forward through life's disappointments.

 Many of us get bogged down with the hurt and pain of life that we forget the happy part of life's adventures.  We need to stop and be grateful, thankful and happy for the good things and appreciate the highs in our life that occurs.

Being thankful once a year is not enough, being thankful throughout the year is something you should try to achieve  daily. Some of the things you should be thankful for are: waking up in the morning; thankful you have your health; thankful you are loved; thankful you even made it to "Thanksgiving Day."

STOP! see the blessings, say thank you everyday because there is no guarantee that another day will be coming your way. Open your heart to all the adventures and love that you can capture. Laugh a lot and cry as little as possible, but also be thankful for the tears. The tears are one way the universe helps wash away the pain, so you may enjoy the beauty and be thankful.

ASK YOURSELF WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR TODAY?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Turning the Page.......

Let's talk about what "Turning the Page" means. When one turns the page of their life, that means they have moved forward. You begin reading the new chapter of your life.

When you turn the page of your life, it doesn't mean that you are turning your back on people or things. It means that you're just moving forward, in order to see what the next chapter of your life looks like. 

You can't start the net chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the same chapter.

There comes a time in your life when you have to choose between turning the page or just closing the book and staying in the same spot, never moving forward.

Life is a book with many chapter, but if you never turn the page and read the next chapter you will never know what the next chapter has in store for you. In order words, what your life is all about.

Forgiveness is another form of moving forward and turning to a new chapter. Every chapter has a new beginning and a different ending.  For different reasons we get stuck in a chapter because it is to painful to turn the page. Sometimes in your life someone can offer you a helping hand in turning the page. 

Just remember every chapter of your life is different and by not turning the page will keep you where you are unable to grow and reach your life goal. 

So, believe in yourself and push forward to another phase of your life. Making small steps is how you reach big goals.

Positive Changes.....

We all go through hardships doing our lifetime. Sometimes we feel we have more downs than ups and can only focus on the downs. The reason for this is because the disappointments and upsets hurts and anything that causes pain will be remembered.

Pain is something that gets attention and pain can sometime make a positive change in your life. Pain holds you in one spot, it doesn't allow you to grow and become a person of worth, it hinders you from focusing on the big picture. Pain can force you to make that step forward just to get in front of it. 

When you put a smile on your face and others, find a new adventure, extend a helping hand and start believing in yourself it will cause a positive change in your life. 

Fall, that time of the year, is when you should shed the negative vibe that's been following you around during the year.  Take a look at your accomplishments, your growth, your well being, your hopes and dreams. When you make positive changes in your life you feel better and happier about your life and future. 

Remember all the good you have done in life and shared with others throughout the year. Think about how many lives you have changed by extending your kindness and knowledge to people in your life.

To start making positive changes in your life you must re-adjust your thoughts. Filter out the negativity and grab on to the happiness that is out their for you. Positive thoughts yields positive results.

No matter how bad you think things are, the positive things you do for yourself and others is how to begin to heal and make positive changes in your life.

 Scott - Stay POSITIVE!!!!

Emotions by Mail....

In todays times it is so easy to express your emotions in an email, in a text or just a short tweet.

The reason that it is so easy to say something in a written message is because you are not facing the individual. We are so abt to say how we feel in writing because the other person can't respond or interruption your feelings or thought process while you are just typing out your written emotions.

The person reading the written message doesn't get to express their emotions. The one sending the message get to say what they want, whether the saying is true or not. You will never be able to disputed the words which were sent to you. They get to type their feelings and expression of how they feel and the person reading that mail doesn't get to react or correct anything, can't response or even have an opinion of what is being read. I believe that this is the worse way to communication any message unless it is a lesson plan.

Communication is a two way street. In order for someone to respond to a written thought they would have to turn around and email, instant message or text back. By then the item they have read has be translated into their thoughts and their emotions. Whether the written item was right or wrong responding would have to be sent in writing also.  

Emotions by mail is the wrong way to express your thoughts to another individual. A person does that so that they won't have to hear your explanations or any reasons you need to express. Because they have said all THEY wanted to say in writing, a one sided conversation. it doesn't leave you any room to tell them how much you have accomplished, tell them about a special person you have included in your life, about how thankful you were for them guiding you in the right direction. For you to tell them how much you have grown with their guidance and thanking them for the great opportunity to succeed. It doesn't allow you to express to them your appreciation. It doesn't give you the opportunity to say thank you, If only they would have called! 

So, after that email is read and trashed, the words still linger in your mind leaving you with your success story untold.

A Moment in Time!

We all get so busy in our life that we miss those most precious moments of our days.

Those happy moments that only last for a short time in our life. The times you spend with a love one, a friend, your children, a champion makes you feel happy and joyful and should be captured. How just for a moment you were in another place enjoying what you were doing at that time. Just allowing yourself to be free, no worries, no responsibilities. Just reliving that time of excitement and love.

There is a lot that can happen in just a moment, that you would want to keep in your memory. In a moment a child is born, you fall in love, you discover life in a different form of existence. You want for nothing because in that moment you have everything. 

In a moment your world can be turned upside down. You realized as good as that feeling was it was just a moment in time. That moment can turn to tragedy in just a short time. It could change the feelings and emotions from joy to dismay. Your first bad event, a death, a heartbreak, a disagreement, a disappointment. That moment seems like a life time but it is just a moment in time.

We all need to slow down and acknowledge those great moments in time. When you discover your first love, a fantastic kiss, a warm embrace, a kind jester, a sincere person, a new job, a new adventure. We should learn to appreciate those moments in time because as soon as it happens it is over. We should file those moments in our hearts to be referenced when thing go wrong. Giving us the ability to look for comfort within ourselves.

We all have moments in time that are good and some bad, but it is up to us to capture and remember the good one. Don't waste your moments of pleasure on hate, madness and upsets. Embrace those happy times because you only have them for a moment.

Always appreciate the good things you receive and good people you meet in that moment in time.

Compassion.......

 We all need to have compassion for one another. We need to stop and think about the steps you had to take to help you get to where you are now. I am sure they weren't the easiest steps to make in your life. Someone assisted you to becoming the best person that you have now achieve to be. 

Think about that the person who is still trying to make their way and would need just a little compassion and strength to aide them into a life style they could be proud of. Maybe you didn't have to struggle as hard and long as they are doing, but showing some compassion to someone will help you feel proud.   

I understand the actions of compassion is to be forgiving, caring, loving and supportive of others that are not as well off as you. Others that is just struggling to survive. 

We all had some difficulty time in our life because we are human beings. Things worth having must be worked at. Struggles are a part of life in order to accomplish your goals and dreams.

I believe in order for you to have grown into the fine person you have become; someone showed compassion to you. Someone like a parents; a friends even a sibling was compassionate toward you to have help you achieved your goals. 

We all have compassion within us, we all have love to give. Some of us must learn to be compassionate and loving to ourselves in order to share it with others. Get out of yourself and learn to show the best part of yourself, by showing compassion to someone that just needs to know their struggles are not being done in vain or alone. We can accomplish so much more in life when we discover that someone else has offered that helping hand, that someone cares.

Yes! we were born into this world as an individual but never was put here to live alone, unappreciated and not loved. By showing compassion to others won't help solve their struggles, but it sure will make their struggles seem worthwhile and accomplishable.

What is compassion you ask? My definition: "it is the act of caring for someone other than yourself. Giving a hand up not hand out, loving beyond belief."

Look around and see how your compassion for others has made changes in their life and yours too.

Compassion is learned, practice it today with others and watch how lives will change.

Try it and see how many faces you can light up. A smile goes a long way!
