The people that you meet

Posted on by admin

When people enter your life and sometimes you know right away that it was meant to be, they are there to serve some sort of purpose, just love you, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. These people could be your roommate, neighbor (I have the best neighbors right now… amazing people and now great friends), co-worker, longest friend, lover, or even a complete stranger but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

Some people come and go very quickly. Met this couple at Pete’s the other night, the husband gave me some very wise advise. He awakened me to a new understanding with his passing wisdom. If I am smart I will listen to him. I will probably never see them again. Some people move our souls to dance, make us smile, or just feel good about ourselves again. Some people stay a while and leave footprints in our hearts but for a time they make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. We are all of a sudden different, never to be the same again.

Yep, sometimes you get hurt…. things happen. At the time what seems unbelievable, horrible, painful, and unfair, will slowly pass. After a time, you begin to reflect you find that you discover something new about yourself. You have great perseverance, strength, willpower, heart and even potential. If you believe that everything happens for a reason, that nothing happens by chance or luck, it somehow makes it easier. These events, whatever they may be… test the limits of your soul and without them small tests, life would be pointless. You would never learn new things about life. These people and experiences help you find yourself.

So in you journey, pay attention! Appreciate every moment and person that enters your life. Be outgoing and assertive(I have this one down). Talk to people, introduce yourself and actually listen. Let yourself love. Believe in yourself, if you don’t; it will be hard for others to.

Write your own story and live it with no regrets, no what if’s!

Find your passion

Posted on by admin

Many people out there live their lives the way they  desire.  They work hard doing what they love. These people are considered to be successful because of that very thing… doing what you love and making a living.  It’s not as hard as it seems, because the more you want something the harder you will work to get it.

Then there are some people… bored with life… trudging along in the monotony they have created for themselves.  I am going to use the term, “Lazy or Unmotivated”.  It is time to make a change.  Unless of course, you like being bored.  There will be obstacles, fears and people that will try to hold you back from your goals and dreams, but it’s not impossible, only more interesting.

Maybe you don’t have a clue what your passion is…I’m still trying to figure mine out… but I am getting very close.  Finding your passion may take deep internal research… it may even take stepping out of the box, or it may be right in front of you and you haven’t noticed it.  It may not slap you in your face, so pay attention.

Some passions create ways to may money, others (the best ones.. haha) have a need for money.  What angle do you need to make your dreams a reality? Sitting around in avoidance won’t work for sure. Don’t just think… ACT!  Even if it is drastic!

I wish I could help you find your passion…. I am having enough trouble as it is… but… if you are constantly working on trying to find yours… you will have something to entice you to rise each morning.

If I come up with some revelation on how to help …. you will be the first to know… now get busy.

The Abaco Club at Winding Bay

Posted on by admin


I am a lucky girl, I have the best neighbors!  Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending some time sunning at the Abaco Club at Winding Bay.  What a beautiful place.  The beaches there are the best I have seen on the Island.  White fine sand.  We went out on paddle boards (these are awesome exercise) and spent some time in the steam bath in the spa.  I could so get used to days like that.  I don’t know how I will ever repay Gordy and Cathy for there kindness to me over here in the shack.  Maybe one day!

WOW – what a definition!  I was just sitting in Church yesterday, thinking about Grace!  It is truly an amazing thing.  Where would we be without it?  I know my screw ups, short comings, and negative thoughs… and just to think…. God is basically saying, “Forget them, leave them behind, it’s like it never happened… I have taken care of it all”  WOW!
So how could we ever be negative?  It’s a choice to be positive each day.  Don’t you hate it when you hear that?  It kinda pisses me off.  It then becomes my responsibility.  Don’t I have enough responsibility as it is, now this?  When you are flooded with doubts, fears, insecurities, worries, imperfect thoughts and begin listening to those inner voices (you do hear them too don’t cha?)  … it is so easy to make bad choices and be negative. It is sooooooo much easier than being positive.  Sad thing is, you can always find someone to be negative with you!  Complainers have a way of finding each other.
Don’t confuse what I am saying.  There are negative situations, issues, world situations, just don’t get caught up in it.   Ask yourself some questions, “How can I turn this situation around?”,  “What could I do to make this better?”, “Do they need my help?”… you get the picture.
Being Positive just means seeing the Grace in as much as you possibly can!  It’s yours and it’s FREE!
