    March 14, 2017 / No Comments

    Perfection.  Being perfect. Is this something you strive for?  Maybe something your struggle with? Be Amazing…Not Perfect Perfection is not always attainable. Perfection is something I have strived for in a lot of areas of my life, but in reality I know I won’t reach it.  Instead I choose to strive to be better than I was yesterday, and in tun I get closer each and every day. When you strive to be better each day, Amazing happens.  I don’t know about you, but I kinda like amazing. Whatever you are striving to be…just remember to always be AMAZING!!

    March 13, 2017 / No Comments

    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

    March 4, 2017 / No Comments

    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…

    June 23, 2016 / No Comments

    This is a lesson that has been hard for me to learn.   It is much easier to give and give then to say no…at least for me.  Running on empty… Just about a year a go I started learning this the hard way.  I was giving and giving, without any regard for my own health or well being until I couldn’t give anymore. I felt run down, tired and unable to do much of anything.  A nap was a must everyday and I still couldn’t wait to go to bed early. I was missing out on so much with my family and friends.  I tried to exercise, I changed my…

    June 21, 2016 / No Comments

    Sometimes all you have is is what you believe in.   Miracles are everywhere Growing up my mom and dad made sure to always help me to look at the bright side of things.  As I got older they also helped me to learn to appreciate all of God’s miracles that are all around me. Some miracles are small like a flower blooming or how a caterpillar knows how to crawl.  Then there are some BIG miracles like a child being born or someone being healed from a  disease. There are also some miracles that maybe we don’t appreciate as a miracle, but they truly are.   Everyday Miracles Miracles are…
