Realize you are AMAZING!!!

12/17/2019

Good afternoon my friends...I hope you are all finding yourselves well.

Yesterday as I was going through my Facebook page, I came across all of these past inspirations I have shared over the years. Each one that I read brought tears to my eyes, good tears.

We spend so much time beating ourselves up, or measuring our worth to someone else's, we don't realize how amazing we are. I found myself going through my memories and realized that I have been so wrapped up in what I am doing, I forgot how far I have come.

This year for me has been very busy accomplishing dreams I have had for many years. I realized how much I have actually done this year and came out on top when some did not want me to succeed. It is amazing how I stood tall and strong not engaging in drama, but taking the hits, learning and growing. I found myself so proud of whom I have become, instead of wishing I would have been better.

This time of year is the perfect time to reflect and let it all go, so we can start a new year. We are ending a decade this December 31, 2019 and starting a new decade January 1, 2020. Wouldn't it be the perfect time to realize how amazing you have been in these past ten years; reflecting on all that you have done not only this year, but the past ten years. Can you imagine what you could do in the next ten years with all you the knowledge and confidence you have gained. There are no limits to what you or I can do in our lives.

My friends, I encourage you to write all that you have done this year along with the past ten years. Really see who you truly are and start to make plans for the next ten years. Tuck away what you wrote, and periodically take it out to see where you are at; you will surprise yourself with how capable you are to do anything you set your mind to.

Don't be afraid to show your emotions...

Good afternoon my friends...it has been way too long since I have last blogged; it is time to get my writing on. I have missed you all so much and I find myself longing to get back to spreading my wisdom and positivity.

I came across this inspiration today on Facebook and thought it would be great to share as we are in full swing with the holidays. We find most times that emotions are running high and we try to be more than we are to please others. We burden ourselves with responsibility that is not all ours just to make things perfect for all. Many tears fall at this time of year, some good and some not so good.

The past six months have been the most wonderful time of my life and the most difficult time of my life. I have grown in ways that I could have never imagined for myself, and tears have been shed for all of it.

This year I have met the most wonderful man I could have ever imagined myself to be blessed with. I have written my book and had it published. I am blessed to find out I will be a grandmother in July 2020. I have also had to deal with friendships ending and family being removed from my life. It has been a year of tremendous growth that I would not change and I am so grateful for.

Have you heard people telling you to "stop crying", or to "grow up", "quit being a baby", my favorite "quit being so sensitive". Most times the ones who make us cry are the ones who are telling us to get over it. When we have emotions and we do not allow them to come up or be expressed, it causes a lot of unhealthy living. We either blow up at people, turn the anguish inside ourselves and cause more stress.

During the holiday's it is always best to stay clear from any drama you can. You don't have to participate in every conversation or say yes to every invite that comes your way. Make sure you learn how to say NO and only say Yes to what you really want. When there is trouble around, do yourself a favor and walk the other way. There is no reason to get involved in anything that does not really have anything to do with you.

Saying that, if you are involved in any drama, allow your emotions to flow. If you have something to say, make sure you say it from a place of love and not anger. Don't say anything you will regret later. Once it's said, you can't take it back. Don't be afraid to let others see you vulnerable. Sometimes when we show our emotions powerfully, we are also teaching others it's okay for them to do the same. We are all teachers and students to each other.

Let yourself cry. Men, you need to give yourself permission to cry as well. This world would be a better place if we could all be honest with how we feel and what we are dealing with.

I am going to start writing more often. I look forward to hearing from all of you. Have an amazing day!!!

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.
