“SO WHAT” Thursday
Tweet I’m officially declaring today “So What!” day. Seriously. It started with one of the most inane conversations ever. A friend called me as I was getting ready for work this morning and was sharing some things with me that pertain to another person. None of which mattered to me – in the least. [...]
Be-Good-to-Me-Friday #2
Tweet Welcome to Friday my lovelies! What is “Be-Good-to-Me-Friday”? WHY “Be-Good-to-Me_Friday”? It’s certainly NOT because I’m ONLY good to “me” on Fridays. Trust AND believe. I used to send a motivational email to some friends/coworkers weekly and every Friday, I’d close it with something like “Find some time to be good to YOU this weekend”. [...]
B-R-E-A-T-H-E
Tweet BREATHE. Of my many mantras, “BREATHE” is primary, priority – and for me, pivotal. My friends can attest to that – I will break into the middle of their run-on sentence about the issue du jour with a calm and strategically timed “BREATHE” in a heartbeat. WITH the accompanying motions of pressing the fingers [...]
“Just-Be-Good-to-Me” Friday
Tweet Hear Ye! Hear Ye! On this 9th day of May in the year 2008, let it be known throughout the land that today – THIS DAY – is “JUST BE GOOD TO ME DAY”. Yes indeed. “Just be good to me”. That’s my focus today…being good to myself. You’re free to snag that thought [...]
SURRENDER: Reinforcing “Beautiful”
Tweet Yesterday’s post was about replacing my need to understand with the ability to go with the flow and enjoy life as it comes. About how my mind wanders down that familiar road, “What’s this about?”, when I already know – clearly (or clearly enough). Honestly, I’ve been “here” before – although the “landscape” is [...]
Going with the Flow…Beautiful
Tweet By nature I am very analytical. VERY. To the point that, between the end of one sentence and the beginning of another, in my head, I’ve already broken down the conversation, found the “real” issue and formulated the resolution in my head. LOL Every once in a while, being THAT analytical really gets in [...]
BIGGER
Tweet Lately, I’ve been quietly contemplating “BIGGER”…. As in doing something bigger IN my life….WITH my life…FOR my life. To play bigger in the game of life. Step it up. Step out. To live bigger. I’m not sure what any of that’s going to look like. I do know it will take courage on my [...]
The “J-Spot”…JOY abounds
Tweet Just dropped by to share this quick but powerful thought with you: “Don’t deny yourself the joy of your dreams. Don’t doubt yourself or your ability to do what you are doing to reach your goals…Keep on deciding for yourself who you are, what you desire to express and experience.” ~ Iyanla Vanzant I [...]
“DELICIOUS AMBIGUITY”
Tweet “Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.” – Gilda Radner DELICIOUS AMBIGUITY. I can taste it, this “delicious ambiguity”, and I have to tell you, if you haven’t mustered up enough courage to taste it [...]
CLOSER….
Tweet Welcome to Monday! CLOSER. That’s the space I seem to be occupying at the moment: CLOSER. Not quite THERE yet…simply CLOSER. Given what I’ve dealt with thus far, the obstacles – real and imagined; from outside myself…and self-inflicted – I’ll take CLOSER. I hope this Monday finds YOU “CLOSER” – closer to YOUR dream…closer [...]
