Happy Monday my friends...what a busy weekend for fun in the sun.  This quote made me realize something of myself today.  That I will go above and beyond and stretch myself to the limits. 

I had worked an event this past weekend.  It was outside and I thought I was prepared.  I knew the sun was going to be shining and there was no way I was going to let anything get in my way.  Saturday came with the winds getting stronger as the day went on.  I had all my black green and bling out, all my shiny stuff ready to go so I can wrap people and make a statement.  However, as the day went on and I was putting my display back together about every half hour.  I was getting pretty frustrated.  Then as the afternoon kicked in so did the wind and it kept taking the top of my tent off.  Everything is falling over, blowing away...and I kept saying to myself even out loud at times " I quit ".  But, if I had left early and did not stick it out, I would never be asked back to this particular event again.  So I had to give it up and do the best I could under the circumstances.  By 3:30pm I had had enough, I called my husband crying and asked him to rescue me and my tent.  We salvaged what we could for Saturday and created a plan for Sunday. 

Sunday morning came and I was slow moving.  I kind of felt defeated but knew I could not give up.  This is my dream to help women look and feel confident know matter what their age.  So I had to dig deep into myself to do it all over again.  I watch Joel Osteen on Sunday morning before I got into the shower.  I had to leave the past where it was so I can move forward into my future.  So no matter what happened yesterday...today was a new day for great things to happen.  So I looked my best in my bling, put on my smile, locked it all down with my husband...and had the best day I had ever had.  I sold wraps along with getting to wrap two people.  It was an amazing Sunday!!!

I had a choice yesterday....I could have given up from losing the battle on Saturday or I could have picked myself up, dusted off and head into the war with my head held high with a smile on my face.  I took option two and it paid off in so many ways.  

In order for us to look and feel confident we have to do more, we have to do better.  If we do that we will always end on top my friends.  Don't ever give up on yourself and your dreams.  Always be the best person you can be no matter what is thrown at you.  YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Until we meet again my friends.

Hey my friends, how are you doing today?  I had come across this quote a few days ago and wanted to share. 

We are doing such great with our journey.  We are doing the work and doing what it takes to make our dreams come true.  Sometimes when we are so in the busy of doing things, maybe there are some mistakes, falling off, not wanting to keep sacrificing.  It is a normal to have the ups and downs.  What I need for myself and for you to remember; we are human.  We have to pay attention to what we are saying to ourselves quietly in our heads.  You know what I mean....I will catch myself picking out the stuff I did wrong or didn't do quietly to myself while someone is paying me a compliment.  That's the stuff I am talking about.

We will beat ourselves up terrible.  We truly are our own worst bullies.  Get into the habit of saying thank you and keep yourself quiet.  Do a little jig in your head or something that will not allow the mean stuff to be said in your head.  It is so very important.  The more you practice allowing yourself the power, the closer you are getting to your dreams.  I know it to be true.  It is happening to me right now.  I want that for you as well. 

Do what it takes to quiet your mind and allow yourself the power you deserve.  Have a great day my friends.  Until we meet again.

I came across this post today and I just loved it.  I loved the sparkling light in the jar along with the message. 

Magic is believing in yourself.  How many times when you really wanted something and you stopped at nothing to get it.  When you looked back when you did get it...you could not believe your eyes and your mind.  We are always filled with magic.  No matter what is in front of us, we should always tap into our magic. 

I have really learned to believe in myself.  When I am at my job, I use my magic to tap into the patients.  I always kid and say I should have been a doctor or I play a doctor on TV.  Because I take the time to listen to the patients, I hear what they are saying, I see what they are doing, and I will also look further into their x-rays.  9 times out of 10, I am spot on with what is happening to them.  It's the magic of believing what I have learned, what I have practiced and knowing the signs to look for certain things in my profession.  It is awesome to connect and know what is happening to a patient. 

That is the kind of magic we should be using for ourselves.  Being on this journey, sometimes we don't listen to the magic.  We don't listen because we don't full believe we can do it.  But I am here to say...We can do it!!!  I believe in myself and I believe in you.  We have made it 120 DAYS!!!  That is exact 4 months.  OMG!!!  I just realized we have been doing this for 4 months.  We have the magic to do anything we want!!!!  Keep it up my friends.  The magic is real, believe in yourself.

Until we meet again.  Have a fantastic night.

Good morning my friends.  The beauty is truly around us along with in us.  This is so very true.  We have so much going on around us we sometimes forget how beautiful we are.  When we struggle with the way we look we forget that we are beautiful no matter what.  When we are kind and we give freely to others we are the most beautiful creatures God has put on this earth.  It does not matter what color our hair is, the color of our eyes, the size of our bodies or even the color of our skin.  We are beautiful inside and out.  Who we are shines so bright that the only thing people see is how beautiful we are.  The people, who don't see it, are not showing their true beauty. 

It's amazing how I have become such a loving friend to myself.  I love the fact that I am different.  I definitely want to be healthy and that is why I am on this journey.  However, I am able to see the beauty in others.  I look at people who are different from me and all I see is beauty inside of them.  That is who I want to be all the time.  No matter what goes on in my life, I always want to see the beauty in others.  It may not always be easy, but that is something I am working on. 

It is amazing how many journeys I am truly on.  I have been stretching myself in such a way; most times I am very uncomfortable.  But I keep going.  No matter what I will never quit!

Have a great day my friends.  Until we meet again.

Rita

This quote for me says it all for today.  I had such a busy weekend.  I had ups and downs like nobody's business.  My ups where doing things for my business, being with my friends and getting positive compliments with all the changing I have been doing.  My down was having to go to a funeral for a 28 year old who was full of life and celebrating his first year of marriage along with their new home. 

Waking up I felt completely drained and did not want to participate in life at all today.  However, I did get up, dress up, and show up...which was a good thing since I had quite a few patients who needed my attention. 

We all have our gifts.  What we do with our gifts is so very important.  For instance, if I would have stayed home in bed like I wanted I would not been able to help the patients I needed to today.  My team would have been let down and struggle through the morning.  I would not have had all their attention where it needed to be because of missing part of the team. 

One thing that I have learned is never give up.  No matter what don't give up.  It does not matter what part of life you are struggling with, don't give up.  Mind you I am not talking about if someone is in a situation that brings any kind of harm to them.  I am talking about your goals, your dreams the journey you are on.  Always keep going forward with what you are striving for.  You are on this journey to stretch and become someone great.  When we are uncomfortable it makes us want to quit...but that is the time we need to keep going that is the lesson we are learning or the dream we are achieving.

Today is a day to look at what you have and what you want.  No matter how you feel keep going and just do what you need to do.  By the time you rest your head tonight you will feel amazing.  Keep it up my friends you are doing FANTASTIC!!!!

Until we meet again.

Waking up every morning is so refreshing and sometimes so depressing.  However, today it is a beautiful Saturday morning so it should be refreshing.  Wake up and know that something great will happen today and it will.  When you are in the mindset that it will, you are attracting what you want into your life. 

The Laws of Attraction are amazing.  I know that some people are waking up and they are grieving or going through something very difficult.  But if you can wake up and know that whatever it is you are going through it will be alright.  Pick yourself up today and say to yourself something great will happen today.  It could be a laugh, a memory or even a kind gesture that you are receiving.  Whatever it is for you expect that it is coming to you.

Enjoy your day my friends.  Today is SATURDAY!!!  I know that something great is going to happen to me today....I can feel it.  My energy is high and I am ready to receive.

Until we meet again.

When I look back into my past for a minute, I can't believe how time goes by so fast.  It is amazing the journey that I have been on and how many turns I had to take along with going through some bad weather.

My heart is heavy today.  A friend of mine has suddenly passed away in a head on collision yesterday.  He loved racing his cars along with crashing them in derbies.  He loved building them and buying them.  It is so sad to know that is how he was taken...

He was to celebrate his first year of marriage on Sunday; instead we will be celebrating his life.  His wife loved him dearly as he loved her dearly.  He is someone who loved life and took every day as if it were his last.  He truly knew how to live life to the fullest.  

This quote has a lot of meaning for me.  I think about my friend along with the life that I have been driving in.  I will continue to live my life to the fullest and only live for happiness without regrets.  You never know when you can be driving your last day in life.  I never want to leave it undone with regrets. 

Keep driving to your dreams my friends.  Let every day be fulfilled with every person you love and everything you can do.  Always lay your head down at night knowing you had the best day of your life.  That you did everything you wanted to do and did not say someday.  We never know when our last day will come to drive in our life.  Don't leave anything undone. 

Have a great day my friends.  Until we meet again.

I really enjoy putting up these quotes.  Every day there is always something that I need to read or hear for myself, and then I feel compelled to share it with all of you. 

Courage!  We all have courage inside of us.  The courage is what keeps us going on our journey and all the paths we are taking.  It truly is amazing if you thought about it for a second.  It takes a lot of courage to get up every morning and start the day over.  So many people have things happen in their life where they feel defeated and they can't go on.  However, those people still get up every morning and continue their day.  My best friend had one of the worst things that could happen to a mother, her daughter was murdered.  Every day I watch this women get up and start all over again.  She has been doing this for over a year and she is my hero.  She still gets up and takes care of her other children, goes to work and works on a case to bring justice to her daughter's death.  She is so busy in the doing that she does not realize how strong she is and how much courage she truly has. 

We need to relax and take a deep breathe, sit a think about all that we have been through in our lives and on this journey that we are on.  We are all beautiful women with courage that is amazing.  I bet that each and every one of us can move mountains to get to where we want to go.  It takes courage to wake up and start all over again.  My friends WE ALL HAVE THAT COURAGE; it's time we start to tap into it. 

Tap into your courage and know that you have it.  No matter what happened yesterday or even a few minutes ago...use your courage.  You CAN DO IT!!!

Until we meet again my friends.

We have been talking about not quitting what we are doing and that is so very important.  One of the other things we must do is RELAX AND BREATHE.  When we are on our journeys we have our highs and lows and we try to control every moment of it.  It is natural...we know what we want, and we know how we want it to look.  So while we are on our journey we try to control every moment of it so that we know we will get what we want. 

What I have been experiencing lately is that I really don't have any control.  I am working towards my goals, but whatever happens in the process we are supposed to deal with.  It will help us to learn and grow so that when we do attain what we are working so hard fore, we can then really appreciate what it took to get there.  But we need to have Faith and Breathe.  Enjoy the ride we are on so that good things can happen. 

Today, let's relax and breathe.  Enjoy the moment by looking around us and seeing what is there.  Let's start enjoying every person in front of us, the sky, the smell of fall coming, maybe even enjoy the changing of the trees.  It will put us in a very happy and relaxed mood where we can appreciate what we are doing, get recharged and keep moving forward.

Have a great day my friends....until we meet again.

I love this quote...it speaks to me in so many different ways.  Yesterday I shared how we have so many different journeys that we are on.  We have ups and downs in each one of our journeys, but it is how we are with ourselves that will make or break us.

If we have in our heads no matter what NEVER QUIT!  Even if it feels like we can't take another step DON'T QUIT!!!  Even if you fail, and it could be a small fail or an epic fail...it doesn't really matter...JUST DON'T QUIT!!!

We are lead to do many different things in our life, some will be easy and some will be one of the hardest things you could have ever done.  But what makes us grow and become extraordinary in our lives is that we NEVER QUIT NO MATTER WHAT.  I am truly finding that out with this blog and the goals that I have set for myself.  I am finding some days are a piece of cake...others not so much.  Those are the days I am stretching and being uncomfortable because what I am striving for is so very important. 

Always pick yourself up and brush yourself off and keep moving forward.  No that no matter what you are that important and you do deserve to have your dreams come true.  The trick is not to stop yourself and give up on yourself.  We have been practicing for a very long time to give up....Let's stop the crazy wheel and NEVER GIVE UP!!!  No matter if it is our weight, our health, our careers, our business, our family...it does not matter what it is NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Have a great day my friends...take each day one at a time...if you need to take one moment at a time that is great...JUST DON'T EVER GIVE UP.

Until we meet again my friends...

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.
