Day 1 on our 3rd year journey...Helping Women Live in their Strength and BEAUTY!!!

5/28/2015

So I guess today we are going to have some technical difficulties...I can't believe that my blog was deleted during the transmission to Facebook and Twitter!!!! OMG!!!!

So then what I was saying is I can't believe today is the 1st day of our 3rd year on this blogging journey. I have somehow miss counted and we have actually completed two amazing years of blogging and being powerful in our lives. I am so excited to have all of you following and reading my blogs. I can only hope that I have helped you be amazing and strong in your own lives.

This journey blogging has made me see things in myself that I could not have ever imagined. I have been doing things in my life that really showed me that I can do anything I set my mind to. "Stop fighting yoruself and accept where you are in life. Let this time in your life motivate you to let go of all of the things that are holding you back." This is what I have been working on these past two years...I hope that you are doing the same.

Together let's stand in our strength and beauty and be the women we are destined to be. We can do it! God has put the burning desire in our hearts and the pit of our stomachs. We can do it, we just have to let go of our past and know that we can do anything.

Today is day 1 on our new journey together; let's do something for ourselves today that rewards us for all the work we have done to this point. We are so beautiful when we live in our strength, and we are so beautiful when we are working on our strength to be the absolute best versions of ourselves.

This blog is totally different from the one I just wrote a few short minutes ago...Let's see if this one sticks!!!

Until we meet again my strong beautiful friends...

With all my love...Rita

Day 361 on Empowering Women to be Healthy and Confident!!!

5/27/2015

0 Comments

Good afternoon my friends...I hope you are all finding yourselves well on this sunny yet rainy day.

As we wake up and go through our days, sometimes things happen to us or we find ourselves in situations that we can't understand. Sometimes we will cripple our own self by worrying about things that are out of our control.

At any given moment, you have the power to say "This is not how the story is going to end." Sometimes we find this inspiration easier said than done. We start to find ourselves feeling desperate or sad, waiting for answers to let us know how our future is going to look.

For me in this moment I am nervous about what is happening with my health. I find myself feeling desperate to get to one doctor's appointment to another so I can get the answers I am desperately looking for. I find that I am at an age that I have to start taking my life a little seriously instead of throwing caution to the wind. Do you ever feel this way?

I know my blog is a little dark and mysterious today but this is how I am feeling. I am waiting for answers to let me know that I am going to be okay and I am freaking out. I didn't even remember that I actually blogged yesterday...LOL

Here is something to think about...no matter what the outcome at any moment I have the power to say this is NOT how the story is going to end. If you are going through something in your life that just might through you for a loop, take your breath away, or even leave you in pure panic know that you always get a say in how it is going to go. You could give up and drowned in your puddle, or you could pick yourself up and dry yourself off and say "This is not how my story will go....my story will be filled with amazement and awe."

Keep fighting for what you want in your life my friends...we are never promised tomorrow but we can make today the most amazing day of our life. So let's get off the couch, get out of bed and start rewriting our story.

Until we meet again my friends...

With all my love...Rita

Day 350 on Empowering Women to be Healthy and Confident!!!

Good afternoon my friends...I can't believe it is already late in the afternoon on a Saturday...when you are just enjoying life time truly flies.

I have been noticing in the past few months how our world is getting a little crazy; more so than usual. Have you noticed all the violence, rioting, earth quakes and tornadoes; you name it, it's happening. It leaves you feeling sad and almost desperate for something to change.

Today I came across this inspiration and it gave me peace. How awesome would it be if we just saw each other as souls; nothing more nothing less. I bet you anything our world would be a different place. We would not see body images, we would not see color, and we would not see any kind of difference to us at all. We would actually all be exactly the same, souls floating through space and time. It makes you think....

On one hand everything would be magical and peaceful, but on the other had it would be boring and predictable. There would not be any surprises; we would all be the same.

Why can't we see each other as souls right now; accepting each other for who we are without judgment? That would be amazing...

Have an amazing day my beautiful souls...until we meet again...

With all my love...Rita

Day 348 on Empowering Women to be Healthy and Confident!!!

Good afternoon my beautiful friends...it is such a wonderful day and I can't believe we are nearing the end of our second year of this blog. It is an amazing feeling of accomplishment.

Today I want to ponder what it is that truly makes us happy. We do so many things on a daily basis that we think we should do and have to do; I feel like that is where we start to lose ourselves. Think about it, we grow and get married; most of us have children and then the daily grind of survival starts. I think for most women we are doing what we can just to keep our heads above water; we no longer think about what it is that we are passionate about and what we truly love. Our children then leave the nest and what are we left with...an empty feeling of woulda shoulda coulda's.

I know I am not the only one who has ever felt like this...as we get older we start to see things differently and we start to see what we should have done for ourselves all along. But because we have so much love for our families we literally put ourselves way back on the back burner. We then find ourselves not knowing what to do or where we belong. It's true...I myself struggle to figure out what it is that I should be doing when I grow up, my son is old enough to take care of himself and he does. I am technically and empty nester...my baby is 23 yrs. old...

I find myself trying out all kinds of things to do so I can find my true passion; blogging has been a huge inspiration for me along with my internet/radio show. It truly makes me feel like I am making a difference in peoples' lives. Being and Independent Distributor for It Works Global makes me happy and I love it; but am I really helping people? My true passion in life is helping women look and feel confident no matter what. I don't care of the situation women are in, what I care about is how they can be powerful in that situation.

Start to look at what really makes you happy other than your family. What is it that you dream about and long for...start to take the steps to get there. It does not matter how long it takes as long as you are taking the steps.

Until we meet again my friends...

With all my love...Rita

Day 246 on Empowering Women to be Healthy and Confident!!!

5/12/2015

Good morning my friends...I hope you are all doing well and finding yourselves happy and healthy.

This whole blog is about being Healthy and Confident no matter what shape or size we are, where we come from or how we live our lives. Everyday we wake up and do the best that we can do no matter what. Sometimes we will find ourselves extended so far out to make a good impression or to have the admiration from others. We all have done this one time or another.

I have been finding myself under the weather for quite some time these past weeks. My voice is no longer working the way I am used to, my body is exhausted every day, and I just can't seem to get my spirit in motion. I have discovered that I have filled my plate so full I can't seem to get it together; the more pressure I put on myself the worse I feel.

Without failure we do not succeed; we are not able to learn what we need to learn. We can't avoid the failures in life; we need them as it is a part of our everyday life. We don't have to be the best at everything we do. We don't have to have all the answers and we don't have to always be the bigger and better person. All we have to do is fail so we can succeed.

I think that women today put so much pressure on ourselves that we will never catch a break. We will always be extremely stressed along with killing ourselves slowly. That's how I have been feeling these past few weeks, like I am slowly killing myself. We try to do so much to be impressive or to let people know that we are much better than they think we are or to let our own selves know that we truly are worthy. When are we going to learn that we are already enough just the way we are...

For us to be Healthy and Confident we have to be able to admit our limitations and be great with it. We need to know that our journey is our own and it may not be about being the super hero, it may just be about being ourselves and knowing how much we make a difference in people's lives that are around us. I have had the pleasure of having amazing conversations with my son about our life; what I have found is how he sees me as an amazing woman who is his mother who has done all that she could for him. How amazing is that?

I am realizing that I have passions in my life that I have distracted myself from because I was trying to be more than I really needed to be; not because of what I wanted but because I thought I would be respected and accepted by all. But what really matters to me is how my child sees me and how my husband sees me, but most of all how I see me. I don't need to be the super star to have respect for myself, I just need to keep being the loving giving woman I have always been and to have the love and respect from the most important person...MYSELF!!!

Have an amazing day friends....until we meet again....

With all my love...Rita

Day 335 on Empowering Women to be Healthy and Confident!!!

5/1/2015

Good morning my beautiful friends...I hope you are all finding yourselves well on this beautiful Friday morning.

There is so much going on in this world today it is hard to keep our smiles on our faces; there is so much destruction and hate. My dream for each and every one of us is to love one another unconditionally and quit judging each other.

It truly does not matter what color our skin is, or what size we are or how much money we have. We are all here courtesy of our God; and I mean whoever your God is for you.

We need to start to come together and love and accept each other just as we are. We need to remove hate from our mouths, hearts and minds. We need to start accepting one another as if this is all we have, because this is all we have. We need to stop destroying our world because of what we think and what we really don't know.

There are 3 sides to a truth; my side, your side and what actually happened. Think about that. We have been fed so much crap to keep us divided that we are chewing at the bit to kill each other. It's a horrible way to live. If we actually stopped for a moment and looked around at all the people who are actually in our lives; we would see that our family and friends are of all races. So if we have all different kinds of people in our lives; where is the racism coming from. Think about that!!!

Until we meet again my friends...

With all my love....Rita

I have been through a lot in my life just as everyone else; I have found that what I have gone through has always been for my highest good. There is not a thing that I would change in my life; I would keep the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Sharing my lessons with you helps me to be the best version of myself. What I have learned, I share so you are the best version of yourself.

When we stand together we are strong and tall making a more confident and loving world. We are forgiving our past and embracing all that is learned. We then are teaching our children to be human and the best version of themselves.
