Make someone else happy

When things are great, be grateful, because all good things must come to an end, but don't sweat it, it's time to let that go and allow for someone else to feel great?

. . . to the Moon!

Seven months of blogging so far and I have to say it is something I truly love! I look forward to my post each day (well, almost every day), somedays I am just too outside of myself. But even then, this blog helps bring me back and keeps me centered! And I love my blog readers - whoever you are out there - its just fun to have an audience beyond the imaginary kind!


And speaking of loving to the moon and back . . . that Fur coat and boots!! Be still my beating heart, I must have these for my upcoming Bucket List trip to Alaska to see the aurora borealis! 

. . . things I should not do

It seems second nature to focus on the things we should be doing, but once in a while, I think it's good to remind myself what I shouldn't be doing! Like selling myself short or mulling over a past conversation as if I could change what I said. And an important one: I shouldn't worry about what other people think!

Bloody Amazing!

Make the most of TODAY - because life itself is just a series of TODAYS.

Stand up for yourself!

Don't waste your time with people who don't appreciate you or your talents. Surround yourself with interesting people who motivate, inspire and encourage you to be your best. The rest ~ well, you can eat those angry birds for lunch!

HOME AGAIN! thank you universe :)

I am so grateful we have good hospitals and doctors in our country, and it seems sometimes they can still work miracles, but it is SO great to get OUT of them!!!!

hm, that's a good question

Sometimes we really need to look at the BIG picture. To step back and take stock. I think we spend WAY too much of our day worrying about chicken shit! Catch yourself - don't let stupid stuff eat away your day,  AND never let someone else get the BEST of you ~ you need to save that for yourself!

Defy the odds

Don't let a number stand in your way ~ if the statistics say you have a 5% chance at something ~ its still a chance ~ and really, that is all any of us ever have!

Happy weekend friends!

Heading up to Seattle to party with my BFF's!!! Be back on Monday!

the art of photography

Since I take so many self portraits, I am always amazed at what other photographers are able draw out of me ~ its like they show a side of me with part of them infused into it. These photos where done by the talented photographer Ingie Markovich. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of her amazing work!

No regrets!

In life there are lots of directions we can take, and only we one that we can't - that direction is backwards. We can only move in a forward direction, but remember ~ it is still a direction of our choice. So there is no sense regretting the direction you chose last year or ten years ago. Just choose a new one and keep on moving, eventually you'll get to where you want to go!

Rambling Rose

It seems like whenever you actually DO anything, create something ~ then it's up for critique. And the ones that seem to be the loudest critics are those that are not making anything themselves, instead they are just telling others that the things they are making are flawed or crap. Well, I kind of feel sorry for them, because those comments typically arise from jealousy. Not necessarily jealousy about what you created ~ but the fact that you DID create something and they DIDN'T.

De~stress

I have decided to start meditating in the morning again. It is a practice that had become a routine of mine some years ago, then I gradually got out of the habit. However, I have come back to it countless times during stressful situations in my life and it always helps me see things clearer and unburden myself of worries.

. . . . and before I know it ~ everything wil be coming up roses again!!
