As I sat at the nail salon for a day of self pampering, I thought about ways to find my self-worth. I know that my worth isn't in the things that I buy myself nor is it for the day of self pampering. The most important part of my self worth is the importance of my inner worth. The importance of my personal and spiritual well-being. That is so important to me, not the mani/pedi because I know I can find my self worth sipping a delicious cup of tea. I find my worth in my meditation. Sitting in nature. Seeing my birdies chirping and eating at their bird feeders. Today I gave myself a pamper day. I start work on Tuesday and my nails needed it. I also got my eye brows done and got myself a facial. These things are small tokens. I don't find my self worth in them. I treated myself because I know my value. I want to feel GOoD as I begin a what I know will be a busy week. I am not sure what the journey there will hold for me. I know I am divinely guided by my spiritual angelic team tha...

On June 2011, I created a community Facebook page to help others code with toxic relationships.  The month of June 2019 marks 8 years that I have been managing the page that I create in 2011. When I look at the years pasted, I would have never thought this page would have reached over 8,000 followers.  My heart is filled with gratitude to help in any small way I can and hoping that my goal is to form a non-profit organization so that I may reach and help in more ways than just making my presence on Facebook. So many have shared their stories.  I share valuable resources links below Helpful Links Personal Traits in Abusive Relationships  Signs of an Abusive Personality  Read More  National Domestic Violence Hotline      1-800-799-SAFE (7233) Overcoming Verbal Abuse  was born on Jun 29, 2011 by me.  At first I kept my identity from this page because I was still living with the person that was abusive t...

"When you are aware that you are the force that is Life, anything is possible. Miracles happen all the time, because those miracles are performed by the heart. The heart is in direct communion with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes; your heart opens another heart, and true love is possible." ~  don Miguel Ruiz

On Wednesday evening on my drive home from work, my check engine light indicator came on. The car itself was driving perfectly fine. I arrived home and told my dad about it and he said he would look at it in the morning. Next morning, I went to the car and the light was still on.  I called the car dealership to take the car in on Friday (my day off) they asked if I had put gas in the car and I said a few days ago I had. So I made the appointment for Friday morning at 8:30 AM.  I had to cancel my training session. I also had to cancel a class I was schedule to take as well. This morning as I drove on I-75 to the dealership, I was a little tired. I also realized I am so grateful I do not have to drive on I-75 in the morning rush hour. I arrived to Coconut Ford and told the service guy, I had an appointment and the whole story. As Dylan the service guy I had the appointment with comes over and we begin to talk about the situation. When he turned the car on, the light was gon...

Sun Therapy  Memorial Day at Barefoot Beach On this Memorial Day, my dad and I went to Barefoot Beach Preserve County Park in Bonita Springs, Florida.  It had been 2 years since my last trip to the beach. Due to Hurricane Irma and the red tide.   It was such a great day. I love listening to the water.  I am thankful to have this opportunity to enjoy life and say thank you to all the men and women whom serve our country.  We should always remember and be thankful not just on a holiday. I live my life in such a way. Grateful for everything. Grateful for everyday. Grateful for it all. This little fellow was near my dad's chair. Eating some grass. I was feeling the warmth of the sun. I love the trees and the boardwalk they have at this county park.  Sitting near the water. Soaking my feet. Listening to the waves.  Being still and feeling grateful. My dad listening to his jams. Soaking up the sun. Finally m...

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he'd stuck it out. Don't give up, though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than  It seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are - It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - It's when things seem worst that...

Happiness Love Peace Joy in life Live in harmony Love one another Do not judge others Let go of the past Enjoy each and every moment you have here on earth Be grateful of all the little things we sometimes take for granted Share a smile it can brighten someone's sad day The sky is so lovely this morning The birds chirping send happiness to my soul Breathing in the air is life recharging my soul My pets are so funny Peanut loves getting Niko's treat He is quick to eat his and runs to get Niko's I love my doggies We are almost into the true holiday season I love when the radio starts playing Christmas music Although it never feels like Christmas here in Florida I miss the snow The change in seasons Each year it's like 80 degrees during Christmas Makes me homesick I wish it got cold during the holiday I love Thanksgiving Day Great food, laughter, enjoying family time I love my kids Miss them Trying to make sense of what doesn't make sens...

Are you living in a state of gratitude?  There is power when you live in gratitude.  The movie The Secret taught me some important things, first of all your thoughts become things.  What you focus on that is what you will attract in your life. Living in a state of gratitude means your thoughts should be on being grateful for the things you have NOW. By living in this state of being....the universal law of attraction says that we will attract into your life the things we focus and think about ....if your thoughts are on lack (negativity) you  will attract that. But if your thoughts are on your many blessings than the universe says lets give more things for them to be grateful for......so remember GRATITUDE attracts what we want. Another area that I've notice people having a hard time with is accepting a blessing from others.....remember when someone gives you a $20.00 bill it is the giver that shall receive a blessing. So many times I see people want to cut off the...

I am reading the book  " Women Who Run With the Wolves" book written by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I highly recommend it to  ALL women! I came across this sentence  A woman may try to hide from the devastation 's of her life, but the bleeding , the loss of life's energy, will continue until  she recognizes the predator for what it is and contains it.   Immediately, I was enlighten to a truth. I was that woman hiding the devastation of being abused from the world. I pretended to be happy for a very long time.  My soul was bleeding inside. My aura energy was losing life. I continued reading ( I only recommend you read 2 to 3 pages a day, allow yourself to reflect on what you've read as this is a very profound book) and this next sentence spoke to me. I am about to share something with you that only my family members know and my oldest son remember as well.  And it isn't until I have read this sentence that I realized my soul was warning me to get hel...

There are times when things that happen in your life seems as if it's the end of the world. You ask yourself "Why me" or "Why now" but as the quote states it's overcoming these life "challenges" that at the end give your life more meaning!  Life is not easy. But we have to realize that when we are faced with challenges or as I call them "life lessons" ...there is something that has to be learned......sometimes we will face these "lessons" over and over again.....basically my friend it means you haven't "learned" the lesson.  The next time you are faced with a challenge or lesson.....take a few minutes to just sit....close your eyes....ask yourself "WHAT is it that I need to learn from this?"  once you've asked that question....just close your eyes and in a stillness.....you will get your answer!

When you live with an open heart ....... you can't help but see everything thru the eyes of LOVE! When you see LOVE in everything....you are in a state of happiness....gratitude....joyful....peaceful....you are in a state of bliss! Your heart (even if you're going through tough times) is pouring out LOVE! You shine like a star! ** Close your eyes at this every moment and take a deep breathe in and as you let that breathe out.....imagine LOVE surrounds you...feel the warmth of a hug....a tingle of a kiss....just enjoy that bliss! Blessings

I wanted to share this thought with you today because of something that happened to me the other day. Do you know that YOU are responsible for YOUR own happiness? There are times when we have to deal with lessons in life. We grown up with divorce parents, sometimes without parent(s), or sad events that effect our lives. I know because I have been in those shoes. I will be honest there was a time in my life that I blamed everyone else for my happiness (because I wasn't living a happy life).....it wasn't until I began "dealing" with me that I began to discover so many things. I know that "I am responsible for my own happiness!" not my parents, not the bad relationships, not my family, not even my children.  I am responsible. Now that I know this I want to share my insights with others.....I know LIFE can be a challenge BUT nothing that you are going through should steal your happiness!! Life is a gift!! No matter what YOU are dealing with....sometimes we m...

Limiting beliefs are The constraints in your life, Negative things said That you anchor in your mind. When you think you can do Something wonderful and grand, You pull a message from Your thoughts to ruin your plan. Make it a goal in your life To overcome any doubt and fear, Never second guess yourself To allow limiting beliefs to interfere. Fill your mind with positive thoughts And your heart with the will to believe, Your hopes, plans, goals and success Are meant for you to be achieve.       ~ Zenaida Roy-Almario
