New Year, Better Me!!


These are the 5 daily reminders I have done in 2015 and will continue to remind myself in 2016. What a year I had, spiritually, emotionally, physically and professionally. 2015 began shakey with my mother's diagnoses to cancer and my son totaling our only car in which he should have been either hurt or dead, but wasn't. I could have seen that beginning as hell freezing over and it sure could have carried off and over and fucked up the rest of my year, but I knew better. This wasn't my first rodeo because I knew when there is rain and clouds, sunshine and rainbows are soon to follow. My prayer to God when I was in California back in February with that short time with the priest gave me the strength, courage and faith I needed to get past all the pain that I was enduring and to know that without a shadow of a doubt that I had the most amazing gift through a sign that was soon to follow. That was all I needed to feel in my heart and soul. Daily, I reminded myself of who I am and I began seeing things change over a period of months quickly in my favor. Friends became true blood, my sons became men, and I met the love of my life. My skincare business became more successful. I became more recognized as an artist and been offered to do my first show. I am now a partner with the 9 Hotel for my mobile spa business and my radio show is still buzzing and making waves in the industry. Tonight, I get to open my jar of accomplishments over the year and see that glass not half full, but really full. It's all in how you perceive everything at the end of the day. Ricky Spanish kept that bug in my ear as a reminder. I am now ending this year as an engaged woman and looking forward to enjoying this next phase in our relationship together as we work to flow as one soul. Thank you to all that inspire me everyday. I feel grateful to be able to love you. Hello 2016, bring your sexy ass over here and let me love you each and everyday!!!

Saying Nothing is Sometimes Saying Everything

Everybody has a Judas in their lives and sometimes several. Some are friends, but most are unfortunately in your own damn family. I can relate to Jesus. It's hurtful as shit. The reason this occurs is lack of real understanding and so many being so far in their own asses to ever even want to try to understand who you are and why you feel and think the way you do. It's fucked up, but that's what it is, but you know what you do have control over, how you respond or don't respond to the bullshit. You don't have to answer to things especially if they are coming at you as an attack because that's all you will get at the end of the day, your  feeling like you were nailed at the cross. So, don't say shit!!! Keep it moving. Sometimes saying nothing is everything.

Counting Friendship Blessings

I have had more than my fair share of ups and downs in the last year and I am sure there will be a few hiccups to overcome this year, but having the support and love from my kids and friends has been the most wonderful testimony because the ones that are currently by my side even in my darkest days, have shown me they were my true supporters.  We need to go through those downs at times to see that  and you better know I asked the Universe to reveal them and I was pleasantly surprised by it's answer. There were folks that came out the woodworks and have literally told me that I had inspired and gave them the determination to go after their life goals and dreams and that I was their strength when they were down. My jaw dropped to the ground and my eyes have been full of tears because although there has been a battle within my own self, God wanted me to know because of what I did for others, that those same ones would be there to be my strength and guide as well. I am beyond humb

Passion vs. Effort

I hear it all the time from people on what you need to succeed.   “Follow your passion”. Here is is why I have an issue with this advice.   Everyone is passionate about something and usually more than one thing.  We are born with it. There are always going to be things we love to do like music, art, knitting, cooking etc..  The list can go on. Those passions more than likely for most are not worth a nickel. Here's why?  Think about all the things you have been passionate about in your life. Think about all those passions that you considered making a career out of or wanted to build a company around.  How many were there? Why did you bounce from one to another? Why were you not able to make a career or business out of any of those passions ?  Or, if you have been able to have some success, what was the key to the success?  Was it the passion or the effort you put in to your job or company?  If you really want to know where your destiny lies, look at where you apply your time.
