Keep Your Head Up!

-

This is great advice for staying the course:

 Becoming either too comfortable with your life or too fearful and depressed can stop you from growing. Even though the way to success may seem crazy and hazy, never give up your dream, faith, self- esteem and determination.

Allow me to encourage you today. Learn to silence the voice of your inner critic. Silence the voice of worry, jealousy and fear. You can accomplish anything as you learn to focus, believe in yourself, stay the course, discipline your weak areas, balance your life, remain teachable and adhere to God's guidance for your life.

Remember these five ways to be happy:

  1. Free your mind from worry and fear.
  2. Take care of your body. Your health is your first wealth.
  3. Live simply with order, beauty, peace, love and gratitude.
  4. Give yourself permission to explore the opportunities to live in your purpose.
  5. Only the strong survive. So strengthen your areas of weakness. (i.e. faith, finances, relationships, health, self-esteem, punctuality, education, people skills, temper, stress, procrastination, clutter, addictions).

Goal Setting

-
Had my goal setting meeting with bosses. We are keeping the same goals as last year. I will still casually browse around for a job, but I feel relatively confident that I am safe - for now. Now, my goals for the summer include but aren't limited to: Get my apartment deep cleaned and redecorated Clear out storage unit Travel (even if locally) Take lots of photos: Do a neighborhood project where I shoot different blocks and neighborhoods each day.  Go to Brooklyn - a lot! Go to lots of free concerts Score lots of rush tickets to see Broadway shows Hit the gym, swim, walk, and bike Write, write, write! Get to one of those Korean spas I keep hearing about Stay on top of my pedicures and massages Watch plenty of sunrises and sunsets Get back to living a clean life Rediscover joy Go to the beach - a lot! Laugh - a lot! Get my finances in order Catch up on the magazines that have piled up Catch up on the books that have piled up Takes lots of relaxing baths Have f...

My baby has crossed the rainbow bridge

-
I know a few of your have been lurking here for years. So you know that I had a sweet little fur baby who I loved very much and who has moved with me from city to city since I've had her. It is with much sadness that I must report that my sweet girl was put to sleep to on Monday. She was getting up in age and had several medical conditions that warranted putting her to sleep. Her quality of life had deteriorated and I was no longer able to care for her the way she needed to be cared for. Her vet wanted her put down a while ago but because I have my issues with grief and abandonment I wasn't ready. I think getting therapy for the short time that I did was helpful with getting me over the hump to move forward. I know it was the right thing to do and she went so peacefully that it helped me know that I made choice.  I miss my girl. I look for her because we have never been apart for long periods of time. There are people who don't understand the connection that humans have to ...

Took a break

-
I have been so busy trying to keep all of the balls in the air. Then I got sick. I haven't been this sick in a while. My allergies turned into an upper respiratory infection and I am still coughing as I try to clear out my bronchial passages. I've also started juicing to help support the recovery and have lost 15 lbs. I haven't had much of an appetite, so I drink fresh juice from the juice bar to keep my energy up. I could definitely keep this up for a while then transition back into a pescaterian diet. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
