bring on the honey…and lots of it
It is no secret that I love to bake…I mean I really love cooking in general but baking is just so fun! Recently I have been looking for some ways to have all my yummy baked goodies but maybe with a little less sugar. Honey is the answer and it is so YUMMY! It is all about the sweet… My favorite way to replace traditional granulated sugar is with honey. It is sweet and way better for you in the long run. Now that sounds like a win win. Local is my favorite My favorite honey is local. I love finding different vendors at the local farmers markets.…

Perfection. Being perfect. Is this something you strive for? Maybe something your struggle with? Be Amazing…Not Perfect Perfection is not always attainable.

I don’t know about you, but I kinda like amazing. Whatever you are striving to be…just remember to always be AMAZING!! To print click here Make today sparkle – MJ

Just Bloom…you will be so glad you did
Just Bloom. This is something that I have to remind myself of on a regular basis. Take a look around Bloom? Really?? Yes. Every once in a while I make a point to look around at how amazing my life really is. I don’t have the biggest house, or the newest car, or the most money in the bank, but what I have is AMAZING and PERFECT for me RIGHT NOW. Things change. Circumstances change…but that doesn’t mean my outlook has too. I choose to find joy in today, no matter what the day holds. Don’t compare You are enough. Read that again…out loud. YOU ARE ENOUGH. Be proud…

It is always worth it…I promise
I am what some people call an eternal optimist. I always believe something good can come out of anything and everything and waiting on it is always worth it. It may be hard, but it is worth it I know some situations are just bad, but even in my worst times there has always been something good come out of it. Sometimes it is a conversation that happens, a new truth understood, a revelation about yourself or someone else. Even when the something good doesn’t come immediately it usually comes down the road sometime. Just keep your heart open to it and it will happen. Just like my momma has…
