When we look at ourselves, we tend to see only what we think we need to improve or fix. Somehow, we push aside our many wonderful gifts and strengths and even wish we were more like someone else - someone "perfect". But there's no such thing! And why try to be someone else when you're already someone fabulous? I picked up a Woman's World magazine today which is one of my favorite. I read this little poem. I wanted to share it with you because sometimes we are victims of put-downs by other people that create those feelings that we are not perfect. Don't allow anyone to speak negative words to you or at you - put you down - there are people that do this and they call it "joke" - it's not a joke. If you start listening to those comments about you - and you listen to them - you start believing them - that is when this poem comes in  read it daily. Affirm that you are perfect, special, beautiful, worthy of greatness!!

A few days ago, there was a knock at my door. My dogs started barking. My kids questioned who was at the door.

With my kids behind me and my dogs still barking, I opened the door and say "Yes, can I help you?". The gentlemen handed me a small bag, as it was placed in my hands it felt soft ( I couldn't imagine what was inside of it )

This past month has been super difficult for me.  With everything that is going on in my life -- it brought this song  "Restore Me Jesus",   to my mind .   I love this song  because it has so much meaning.  I don't know if you can relate with me on this....there are times no matter what you do or what you say.....there is someone putting you down / pulling you down....and lets face it -- we are made of flesh and blood....we are only humans.....it's normal to cry...feel sad...feel upset....BUT that doesn't take away from the person you are trying to become or the goals you are trying to achieve.....everyone has good days and everyone has bad days....but it's up to you to allow those bad days to keep you down and keep you from moving on.....so have your cry......yell out loud....but once you've done that....pick yourself up and start running forward! There is a verse in this song that goes..... only YOU understand my pain ...... no one else feels w
