Good morning my friends...I hope you are all having an amazing Wednesday!!! 

This journey that we are all on together is so inspirational; some days it is taunting but other days is like being reborn.  It has been a year of spiritual growth and knowing how amazing I am.  I having been digging deep into myself and really taking my whole self on.  I am opening the doors to my future; everything and anything is happening right now for my highest good.  I am feeling truly blessed with all the discoveries I have been experiencing.

Yesterday I started a Chios Energy Healing class and I have also been in a class for the fast 6 weeks Creative Mind and Success.  I have been learning a great deal about myself along with all the thoughts I have been hoarding my entire life.  Look at the picture above...do you see all the clutter and chaos that is going on in that room...do you see the TV that has the snowy screen...inside my head that is what it looks like, and the how I have been feeling about myself is the snowy screen on the TV.  I wonder how many of you out there can relate.

Just the other day I was asked "why did I start my It Works business" and to write it down; so I did, I started it because it changed my life and I know that I can change many other peoples' lives with these products.  Then I was asked "what is stopping me from doing my business" and to write it down; what I discovered about myself was all the stuff that was put upon me as a child I took it for truth.  I was told that I was a slow learner, I was even in classes for kids who needed extra help; I took that as truth.  Circumstances that were in my family at that time were not my own but I had to go through it.  So as I grew I knew that I would never be smart enough, I would never be successful, I would never have opportunities as other people to succeed and I would always struggle.  All those thoughts I have been hoarding in my mind...all the experiences many that were not my own have been piling up in my mind creating chaos that should have never been there in the first place.  As I was writing what has been stopping me, I discovered what I thought about myself was not true.  It was someone else's truth that was put upon me. 

If I was not smart, I would not be able to write the way I do, speak the way I do, learn all the different things that I do.  I would not have raised the most wonderful son a mother could have.  I would not have been able to attract wonderful people into my life that I do.  I took a real good look at myself and for the first time realized that I am smart, successful, and beautiful and opportunities are in front of me all the time.  It was such a freeing experience to have.

When I was in my first Chios Energy Healing class yesterday, I saw in my mind's eye that there was this huge whirl wind of thoughts and pictures blowing around like a tornado and they were flying out of the center every which way.  I was trying to see what was flying away to get a handle on what was leaving.  I felt like a hoarder who was holding on to all these thoughts and experiences because that is all I had...it is scary to let go and start from scratch.  However, to start from scratch means that you get to create how it is all going to go.  You don't have to have all that negative stuff creating chaos in your dreams and stopping your journey.  

When I got home from my class, I fell asleep and had one of the deepest 1 hour sleeps I had had in a very long time.  In fact it was pure peace and healing.  When I woke up I felt amazing...usually after a quick deep sleep I am crabby and I can't even stand to be next to myself.  But yesterday it was completely different.  Today I woke up ready to go.  I don't think I have ever felt so good mentally....

It is time for all of you reading this blog to start clearing the clutter in your mind.  Get rid of all that stuff that is not yours and just let it go.  Put a beautiful picture on your TV instead of the snow on your screen.  Clear the space so that you can breathe and think clearly and know that you are smart enough, good enough, thin enough, pretty enough and overall the best gift that God has ever created.  Put a stop to the Hoarding of Negative Thoughts and free yourself from the bondage.  Once you do...your life with reflect who you truly are.

Until we meet again my friends....

With all my love, Rita...

Good morning my most beautiful friends.  I am so happy and in such an amazing place in my life right now.  I have been enjoying these past few days because things are finally working out.  I have been making peace with my past and healing my old wounds.  What I have been going through the past week has just been acknowledging all the work I have been doing with myself along with finally getting some serious healing.  I love it.

When I saw this inspiration it was not a big deal...okay...then it kept popping up on my page; I had no choice other than to really read it and absorb it so it would really sink in.  When I did stop to really read it...I could not believe what I was reading.

The CAVE YOU FEAR TO ENTER....Think about that for a second.  How many caves in our lives do we fear to enter?  I know for me personally quite a few...I fear the cave of myself the most.  I know how smart I am when I apply myself, and I know how much I am capable of doing when I apply myself...but yet I fear the biggest cave of all which is ME.  That's crazy!!!

HOLDS THE TREASURE YOU SEEK...Think about that for a second.  We are always looking outside ourselves for the answers, for the miracles and for the strength to do something.  But it is always inside each and every one of us.  How powerful is that to know?  We all hold the treasure inside the cave of ourselves. 

Yesterday my husband and I went to this little park for a walk.  It didn't have the usual trail that I am used to...it was cut grass then it turned into pretty much a deer trail.  My husband always takes me into trails that are not trails and I am never dressed appropriately for the walk/"HIKE" LOL.  Anyway, we end up on this crazy deer path that is muddy, tall grass and weeds with those sticker things that you can't get off your clothes...but to get to the end I had to climb down a steep hill and back up.  However, there was this little creek I had to jump without falling in, or falling back or falling forward and getting hurt.  I stood there for a minute or two or three or four...until the inspiration came to me....what we fear in the cave holds our treasure; I jumped...made a lot of crazy sounds, even pididdled myself a bit...but I made it.  At that moment this inspiration allowed me to move forward. 

I have been realizing more and more that I am trusting and getting stronger because I know that I am the cave...I want those treasures...but they are already inside me, therefore I already have them.  I just need to bring them out so I can enjoy them.  Really think about this for a bit...how have you been in fear?  Trust yourself and know that you already are the cave and the treasure.  You already have it all. 

Another thing that is so important to realize is with my business...I am always in fear of that crazy cave...but now that I know what I am seeking is already inside me.  Today, I am looking at my life totally different.  In reality there is nothing to fear at all...it's the unknown that scares the daylights out of me.  If I am going to fail it's because I could not get over myself...if I am going to succeed it's because I know that I have what it takes to do it.  I am the cave and I am the treasure...from this day forward my cave is lit up so it does not look so scary. 

Look at your own life; what is it that you are truly afraid of then realize it is all you.  You are not to be feared!!! Until we meet again my friends...

With all my love...Rita

Good morning my friends...It has been a week since I last blogged, and yes it has been a crazy emotion feeling kind of overwhelmed week.  However, it is a new day and it's the last day of the week...so get out and enjoy your Saturday.

As I just shared with you how I have been feeling this inspiration hits it right on the head.  When I am feeling overwhelmed it is usually fear and faith that are combating; I truly scare the heck out of myself.   

When I was a child I thought of myself as a burden because I cost so much with the terrible asthma that I suffered, and I felt like I was never good enough.  I felt like I was not born to be great, that I was born to be a pain in the arse.  I never felt that I was pretty or skinny enough, I always felt less than average.  As an adult I started to do work on myself, I have been realizing that I am amazing and most times pretty awesome.  This too scares the heck out of me.

As we grow we develop hidden beliefs about ourselves; like some of the ones I just shared, not being pretty or skinny.  We create and take on our families for generations beliefs as well.  How many of you heard that "money does not grow on trees" or "children are to be seen and not heard".  These are also, hidden beliefs.  As a child I can't tell you how many times I heard both of those statements.  As an adult I have grown to think that money does not come by easily so you better deal with not getting what you want, and if no one wanted to hear me as a child why would they want to hear me as an adult.  These are some of the things that have been stifling my life.  But then we are taught to have faith.  What does all this mean....?

It means that no matter what you have learned in your childhood or as you grow; your families' beliefs are not yours.  Wipe that slate clean and start living your life for you.  Take the chances that you want for your life and your growth and have the faith that everything will turn out for your highest good.  How powerful is that!  Live life on your own terms, not someone else's terms.  This can be quite scary, but you can do it. 

I have always known deep down I truly am special, however my hidden beliefs about myself have been running in the background of my mind.  I have been allowing what other people think dictate how my life is going to go.  If something does not work out for one, it does not mean it won't work out for you.  Start to let yourself dream and make your dreams come true no matter what.  You owe it to you to be the best version of yourself no matter what someone else thinks.  It's your life.  God gave it to you to do what you need to do.  It is up to you to learn and grow into the most beautiful person. 

Let's learn to stop the madness of faith and fear combating....its okay to have a little fear but don't let it stop you.  Have unwavering faith to get you where you want to go.  You will succeed and get everything you want and deserve.  You are a part of God; he would never deny himself so don't deny yourself. 

Have an amazing Saturday my friends; until we meet again...

With all my love, Rita....

Good morning my friends...the weekend is here and there are all kinds of fall festivities going on all around us.  Get outside today and enjoy the beautiful colors that Fall has to offer us and all the sweet smells in the air.  I can't believe we are in the last quarter of this year; the holidays are upon us.

Today's inspiration is a very powerful affirmation.  I am everything that I can be at this very moment and I love and accept myself wholeheartedly.  WOW!!!!  How many times do we get up in the morning or throughout our day and we feel and say the opposite; we are still carrying around disappointments and mess ups from the day or days before.  Know that no matter what we are WHOLE and we are AMAZING and at every moment in our lives we fully ACCEPT and LOVE OURSELVES. 

No one in this world is perfect.  No one in this world is without mistakes.  No one in this world is above another person.  We are all the same and go through all the same experiences throughout our lives.  Some experiences come sooner than others and some experiences are harder or easier than others.  We need to love and respect ourselves no matter what and learn to love and respect each other no matter what.  We don't have to put ourselves in situations that are no good for us; but send love to yourself and those who are no longer good in your life. 

I hope that each and every one of you has an amazing day.  Until we meet again my friends...

With all my love...Rita

Good morning my friends; I hope you are all doing well this beautiful Friday morning.  Finally the sun is showing its beautiful face and the weekend is just about here.  I love the fall and looking out the window watching the sun glisten off the frost and looking at the beautiful colored leaves on the trees dropping.  The fall has such a calming vibe and a sweet smell in the air.  You can't help being peaceful.

Today's inspiration is so fitting for the way I am feeling today.  This particular inspiration keeps popping up in front of me so I am honoring it by giving it some thought. 

Be impeccable with your word.
  To many times when I say that I am going to do something or change a behavior and I don't do it; I don't feel peaceful.  In fact I end up torturing myself until I do what I said I was going to do.  Sometimes it will take me a while to be impeccable with my word, but when I do calmness comes over me like the calmness from looking out the window at the fall outside.  How many of you feel this horrible feeling when you are not impeccable with your word?  How many of you tend to beat yourself up and cause you to chip away at your own self esteem when you are not impeccable with your word?  It's crazy; such a tiny but powerful sentence. 

Don't take things personally.
  This statement really gives you an opportunity to look at your life and your behavior.  It allows for you to see where you were cause in a matter that did not suit you.  When we take everything personally we are actually giving away our power.  If we could just conceive the thought that most things that we think are happening to us are not; most times things have nothing to do with us but we take it personally causing more conflict.  This has happened to plenty of times as I have taken things personally when it was not about me and it went the other way around.  People have been upset with me thinking I was mad at them when really I was worried about something completely different.  I believe this is fueled by our insecurities and not being confident in our own skin.  If you really think about it; people are wrapped up in themselves and what they are going through...many conflicts start with no foundation only by taking something personal that had nothing to do with us in the first place. 

Don't make assumptions.  How many times have we gotten ourselves in trouble by assuming?  This is one of the biggest instigators that cause conflict with us and with others.  It is okay to keep asking questions until it is clear what is expected of you.  Sometimes the other person may get irritated by all the questions but at least you are fulfilling what you said you would do correctly.  To many times I have assumed things that were totally wrong; if I would have just gotten over myself and had been confident enough to ask the questions I would not have dealt with so much drama in my life.  It's amazing when you can look at and think about different situations with using this inspiration as a guide.  You really do learn a lot at how to handle things.

Always do your best.  This is the most important tip on living your life.  No matter what you best is do it.  When you do your best at all times you feed your self esteem.  You become more confident every moment you are doing your best.  No one can tell you any different, because you know deep down in your heart you have done your best.  You realize that if someone is not happy; that is not your problem, it would be theirs.  When you are doing your best, you are giving your whole self to something....what more can you ask for.

Have an amazing day my friends....use this inspiration to reflect and realize you are amazing and you have always been AMAZING!!!!

Until we meet again my friends....

With all my love...Rita

Good morning my beautiful friends...I hope everyone is finding themselves safe and dry with all this crazy weather.  I am starting to feel like maybe we will all turn into ducks soon.  HAHAHHAHA

As I blog and write things that are inspiring to me or even just working on myself and realizing things about me; I can't help thinking about all the changing I have done. 

We are all in a time in our life were we can't help but change every day; we are always learning lessons and evolving.  If we sit quietly and reflect on all that we have been through we would see how much we have changed.  It would be a moment of realization of how far we have come and how proud we should be with ourselves.  I know that too many times we don't take time to acknowledge how far we have come.  We are always seeing the old us and never celebrating the new us.  How sad is that?

As we grow from young children to teenagers to young adults all the way to adulthood we are always changing.  People around us including our loved ones are always changing.  If we have made mistakes in our past, we learn from them and change into a better version of ourselves.  But reality in most of our lives has shown us that it was not good enough.  Reality has shown many of us that our mistakes will stay with us forever because that is the way people are brought up.  Reality has shown us that no matter what you do it will always haunt you; this is why we are constantly beating ourselves up.  It is a terrible reality until one day we take a stand and think differently.

I know for myself that I was not born with a manual for how to live life the right way.  I was not given a book to tell me what is right and what is wrong, how I should live or not live.  I am pretty sure all of you out there was not born with the book either.  We have all been given the gift of life, to learn and grow at our own pace and on our own journey.  We are supposed to make mistakes and learn from them along with loving ourselves unconditionally.  We are not supposed to beat ourselves up and punish ourselves the way we do.  This is why so many of us do not fulfill our dreams.  We are so busy hurting ourselves from past mistakes we can't see the lessons we have learned.  This thought is so important to understand.   

We need to really start accepting who we are and loving ourselves so much that we would not need anybody else to love us to make us feel better.  Maybe if we loved ourselves that much people would start to have respect for themselves; not get themselves in love relationships that are toxic, jobs that are draining on our self esteem, and body images that are so detrimental that all we can think about is how to look like something that is not really real.  Think about that for a minute........It's true........  Girls; how many terrible relationships where you in because you thought you deserved that?  Boys and Girls; how many of you took a job that you thought was going to be the one and over time you started to feel stupid and inadequate because your boss was not very nice or your co-workers were jealous?  Boys and Girls; how many times have you looked in the mirror hating what you look like and wishing you looked different?  We have all done it.

Let's start loving ourselves and accepting all the lessons we have learned through our lifetime.  We owe it to ourselves to acknowledge how far we have come and changed to be a better version of ourselves.  We are not our past, we are our experiences and without that we would be nothing.  Take homage for yourself and know that you needed to go through those experiences to be the best that you already are. 

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

With all my love....Rita

Good morning my friends...It is a rainy Tuesday with storms across the nation.  I hope that everyone is safe and enjoying their day.

As I am doing work on being a better version of myself; I am realizing everyone in my life has been a teacher.  It does not matter if a situation was good or bad, each person in my life have taught me something useful that I use in my daily life. 

Just sit quietly for a minute and reflect on all that you have gone through in your life...out of every situation do you realize how much you have learned to be a better person.  Instead of being angry with people start to reflect on what they taught you and be grateful for them. 

I am no different from any person out there; we all have had our good times and our bad times.  How we choose to live in result of those times is completely our own responsibility.  As we grow and mature we start to learn all the events in our life has taught us to be the amazing person we are today.  It is time to release any anger towards the people we think have wronged us and show gratitude to the lessons that they had taught us.  I know this may be a hard pill to swallow...I have been there...but if you think about it, you will realize you have become a better person for it. 

My childhood was good and bad; the good parts were absolutely amazing, but the bad parts were bad.  However, if I did not go through what I did and learn the lessons in life, I would not be here writing this blog.  I would not be able to help other people realize how important they so they can have and be anything their heart desires. 

Let go of the angers and resentments that you may be holding on too.  Start to let yourself be grateful for all of it and turn your life into magic.  You deserve to have the best life possible.  Don't let anger keep you from it...let gratitude give you all the blessings you deserve.

Until we meet again my friends....

With all my love....Rita

Good morning my beautiful friends...I hope you are all having an amazing Sunday so far.  The sun is shining the animals are scurrying to get things ready for the long winter slumber.  It is such a pretty day out today.

The inspiration that I am sharing today really caught my eye this morning...actually there were two to be exact, but this one seemed to be truly important to share.

As we grow and evolve into the people we are destined for, we always worry about leaving people behind.  We worry about being alone and when we get to where we are going are we going to be by ourselves?  I am almost positive we all worry about this; this is one of the most important distractions that keep us from achieving our goals.  However, we are truly the most important person in our lives and we will never be alone if we have ourselves.  If we are living a life that we are meant to have, we will always have people around us...they may be different but that is because we have changed. 

We need to learn to love and accept ourselves wholly for who we where and who we are and who we will become.  When we can spend time with ourselves and not feel alone this is one of the most wonderful ways to be.  This is when we can invite people in our lives to share not to depend on.  Think about that for a minute....can you imagine inviting someone into your life because you want them there, not because they have something you want or need?  Sharing your life with someone because you just want to be with them is amazing...it seems to take away pressure and expectations.  This is something I am learning right now...I love my husband and I want him in my life...not because I need him but because I want and love him.  I have finally realized that I can do whatever I need to do for myself to live but I choose to have him in my life because I enjoy him.  That truly is something to think about for your own life.

Today let's start practicing loving and accepting ourselves completely.  Let the people who are in your life be there because you want them, not because you think you need them.  Ladies...right now I am speaking to you....it is okay to want a man in your life, but know deep down you are whole and complete no matter what.  We all can truly live without each other, but wanting to be with each other because we make each other happy is priceless. 

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

With all my love...Rita

Good morning my friends; I can't believe it is already Wednesday.  Where on earth does the time go? 

Lately I have been starting a few new things in my life; one of them has been reuniting with my sister who I have not had a relationship with for many many years.  It has brought up a lot of feelings for me that I thought I had put to bed a long time ago.  Yesterday I had spoken to her and I really listened to what she had to say; I was in awe at the woman she had become and the realization of how much I missed her and actually love her.

Everything that we do has a time and a purpose.  We may not realize it at the time everything is happening but when we look back it truly all does make sense.  We need to go through things in life so when life is finally going our way we can truly appreciate all that we have.  I never thought in a million years I could feel that way about my sister; and I am so grateful to have her in my life.  I feel like we are truly connected and there for each other.

The biggest things that we are always dealing with are DOUBT, FEAR, and WORRY; what ifs are always in our present thoughts.  I have always been an all or nothing gal; yesterday my sister was teaching me to start to take little steps instead of always jumping in with both feet.  Sometimes when you are taking little steps towards a big goal it seems attainable, sometimes those leaps are so overwhelming you tend to sabotage yourself and end up quitting or pushing yourself further back. 

My sister also taught me about letting go of control of an outcome; I can't control a situation so that the pain I may experience would be lessened.  If I learn to take little steps and allow things to happen naturally I will be less stressed and the outcome will come easier.  As we were talking, I was really listening to what she was saying.  I could not believe how much sense she was making.  I could not believe that this person I was in a great conversation with was my own sister who I had been estranged from for over 20 years or more.  I was forever grateful for her wisdom and sincerity; I finally am starting to feel like my puzzle pieces are being put back together in my life. 

If someone would have said that you will reunite with your sister, I would have told them you are crazy...Well, crazy has shown up and I am so happy and grateful for all of it.  I am so grateful to realize that we have both grown and matured, that our life experiences have taught us so much about life that we can finally let go of our differences and be together really for the very first time.  I guess I am going to slow down a bit and realize that what I need is to take some baby steps and start focusing on what it is that I truly want.  The best part of it is I have my sister to do it with and I am going to celebrate in that.

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

With all my love....Rita

Good morning almost afternoon my friends.  Today looks like it is going to be an amazing day.  There are so many things to accomplish since the weather is cooperating today.  I am taking in a deep breath and will enjoy the hustle and bustle of this beautiful Sunday.

This inspiration was on my Facebook today; it was shared by Center for Spiritual Evolution, Rev. Ann.  As I was reading it I felt as if it was speaking directly to me.  I felt as if Rev. Ann was reaching me through this inspiration sharing how important I am to so many people that I do not realize. 

Each word is so very powerful...Your light is seen, your heart is known, your soul is cherished by more people than you might imagine.  This is so true for each and every one of us.  Our lights are so bright; the sad thing is we don't see it for ourselves.

If you knew how many others have been touched in wonderful ways by you, you would be astonished.  We can't even imagine how many people we touch; we go about our days as if we don't even make a difference...almost like we don't exist.  How sad is that. 

If you knew how many people feel so much for you, you would be shocked.  Most of us think that we are unloved, that maybe we don't deserve this kind of pleasure in life; so we fight it and end up alone at our own doing.

You are far more wonderful than you think you are.  Rest with that.  Rest easy with that. Breathe again.  You are doing fine.  More than fine.  Better than fine.  You're doin' great.  This is so amazing; all the efforts that we are putting forth in our life is truly being recognized, we just have to put our old beliefs to rest and accept that we are truly amazing in this life. 

So relax.  And love yourself today.  WOW, love our self today...when we truly start to love ourselves we start to recognize all the wonderful people we are impacting in the world.  Our light shines brighter and brighter so the world knows it is going to be okay. 

What a powerful inspiration for today...enjoy your Sunday my friends and know that you truly are amazing and the world could not do it without you!!!  Until we meet again...

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.
