Don't wait till a new year to begin making those changes you want to do. Those changes should be today. Each day we should wake up and simply want to live in each moment that is given.  What baffles my mind is how people can think that they have all of the time in the world to begin what it is they keep putting off,  but what if you were just given today or next week. What would you do? A DJ friend of mine and to many others got into a horrific car accident and I am sure he did not plan to spend his whole holiday fighting for his life to stay alive. His life changed in that instant and so did his families. Even God states in Ecclesiates 9:11 "Time and unforseen occurrences befall us all." How about each day is a new day and a new beginning. If you have dreams to whatever you want to be in life, live that dream today.  I had a series of ups and downs and felt my life in an unbalanced shuffle of sorts. I didn't wait till a new year to make a change, I vowed to ta...

With over 40,000 people each year in the United States alone, this silent but deadly killer should not be ignored. Most depression is caused by severe induced stressed in a person. Over 350 million people worldwide are affected. With numbers like this, it is a real and serious issue. While neurons and chemicals may be the direct influencers, many genetic factors have been discovered as well. It's important to remember that depression is a disease with a biological basis, along with psychological and social implications . It's not simply a weakness that somebody should get over or even something we have a say in. And just like heart disease or cancer, shedding light onto the subject is of the upmost importance. I share the same views of this article written by Katie Hurley for the Huffington Post. It hits home for the both of us and I am sure it will do the same for you. Getting help and feeling of worth is of the upmost importance to living a life we all deserve and in keeping ...

Tomorrow is always a new day, a new beginning and a fresh start to get it right. There are dark silent moments of self loathing that bring disappointment about life's obstacles and the choices we made  that didn't go like we planned or thought it would go, but each morning that we awaken to a new day, is the Universe's way of letting each of us know that the plan is still a go and our lives will manifest correctly if we only just trust, have faith and believe even if we don't have all of the answers right now. As a Pisces, we are known as the go with the flow types. It's definitely my truth, but it also has had it's downfall when I allowed myself to flow and focus too much on others and not enough on myself. It forced me to sit down and have my quiet moments just so I can listen to that inner voice, that screaming child that knows exactly what she wants and is screaming loud enough for you to listen. I finally heard her. I am becoming more and more aware of wh...

"Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He's sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped." Charles Stanley Doubt can rob you of your dreams, of becoming more educated, and of future growth and development. It paralyzes you and prevents action, courage and bravery... all key elements to becoming a champion in life and business. It can cause you to create opinions and beliefs without even pursuing the doubt, or worse, without educating yourself on the thing you doubt. Call to Action: When you doubt something or yourself, ask questions about the subject, learn about it, educate yourself, ask for help from someone you trust or admire, etc... there are many ways you can PURSUE YOUR DOUBTS. Don't sit on the sidelines like everyone else when a doubt arises. You owe it to yourself and ...

"Someone once said holding resentment toward another person is like drinking arsenic and hoping the person you are resenting dies. Buddha put it another way: “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else—you are the one who gets burned.” This helps put it into perspective, doesn't it?  It is the mental and emotional act of resending toxic and negative energy through our own minds and bodies, repeatedly. This is not to diminish the fact that many of us may have legitimate reasons to be angry towards another person. Sometimes people do thoughtless and even cruel things to each other. However, stop and think about it: Does holding onto resentment serve YOU in a positive, life affirming way? Most likely, the answer is no. In many cases, the person or people we hold in resentment don’t even know or care...or worse yet, some of them are already in the grave but we are still allowing them to hold us hostage to the past. What ...

I can't tell you how much joy and satisfaction I get from loving others, but it's only because I love myself. I have questioned that love many times only because I felt as though there were times that I would self sacrifice and give my all to others, but only to feel left depleted after when things didn't always work out the way they were suppose to. I think we all have felt this way whether with a friend, relative or most commonly, a significant other.  Here are some things I practice in loving myself that I find that work especially after going through disappointments. Give it a shot and do it daily and watch it change your whole outlook and perspective in life. #LOLOKNOWS 1.  Begin your day  with love (not technology).  Remind yourself of your worthiness before getting out of bed. Breathe in love and breathe out love. Enfold yourself in light. Saturate your being in love. 2. Take time to meditate and journal.  Spend time focusing inward daily. Begi...
