We often watch movies with a romantic theme where two people meet and somehow fall madly in love through a series of events that in the real world would be impossible.  There are cable channels devoted to this script formula.  What about in the real world?  Where exactly does one take their list of attributes and plug in another human being?

We Have to Remember to Choose Happiness

If you are ever feeling down, let this kid inspire you that no matter how old you are, or where you are, you have to be yourself and dance.  Sometimes we let the hurt from the past cloud the adults we are today, and forget that we used to be carefree, we used to not worry so much.  As an adult, you can do that too by choosing happiness.  Choosing to not let the overwhelming negativity consume us.  If you find that choice hard, take a good look at what is surrounding you: drugs? alcohol? toxic friends or family members? Take a stand for your own well being and make a change.  Choose to be positive and speak positively in every encounter you have.  There is power in this, and that power will transform your life.

Stay beautiful!

Thankful Thursday – The Little Things Matter Most

With the lightning speed that life is moving lately, I am very thankful for the little things in my life.  The fact that I’m still able to call friends and family, and that I still have genuine friends and family to count on.  So many are suffering, mostly in silence, yet throw on the biggest smile in public.  If you are one of those people I encourage you to open up, get angry, cry – whatever it takes to release the emotions.  If you have been deciding on making that call for professional help, reach out and do it.  Take charge of your life and let it become all that you envisioned and imagined.  There is a lot of truth that life goes by too fast, and is always too short – make the most of all that you have.  We need you, and you are loved(even if you just got off a very passive aggressive phone call with your mother)!

Make tomorrow, and every day after, a positive step in your goals no matter how large or small.  Do not let anyone tell you you can’t do anything.  You can and you will!
