“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy”
Got my boots on and ready to stride into a bright new future.

Life hurls so much at us some times I wake up singing “it’s like a jungle sometimes i wonder how i keep from going under.” but I do. So these days I’m just stretching my toes as far as I can trying to touch bottom so I can start my rise back to the top.I’ll be sharing my journeys, thoughts, plans and a few survival tips along the way. I hope you’ll join in the conversation.

The other morning I realized that still I sleep with my phone – on and in bed. I have since 2001 when I missed the middle of the night call saying my mother had fallen. She was in the hospital for a week before she died. After that I kept the phone in bed so I could take care of the people she had cared for – my dad and two aunts. This morning the phone woke me up at 8AM I thought I was pissed because someone had woke me up but came to realize it was just a reminder that I miss my mom. I can’t change the past but I can honor her memory by being present for those I love – and I don’t need to sleep with my phone to do this.
A great site threelol.com gave me these things to think about:
Here are 5 ways to help you LIVE on PURPOSE:
1. Find Joy in What You Do—Everyday: We move at the speed of light most days and forget to take pause and enjoy little moments. Find the time, even if it’s at 4am and do something just for each day!
2. Allow Your Full Self to Show Up: There is nothing worse than being physically present but leaving your minds elsewhere. Turn off your blackberry, iPhone, whatever and BE Present!
3. Surround Yourself with Light: If you take a glimpse at your circle of friends and realize that none of them are happy and are stuck find a new circle, and make sure it’s one that lifts you up and challenges you to be the best you can possibly be.
4. Get Your Nature On: All you need to do is walk out your day find a patch of green grass, a tree, or a flower. Take five deep breaths and allow yourself to be in awe of the environment around you!
5. Be Brilliant: Too often we waste time comparing ourselves to others and then putting ourselves down for what we don’t have. Each of us is brilliant in our own way—so let your LIGHT SHINE, especially if you find yourself in a fog:)
