Happy Friday the 13th!
Okay, so now that I'm getting older, so is this boy! 28 isn't that much older than 25 now is it?! :-D I'm too old for Justin Bieber and have been within inches of him and he did nothing for me, except give me the urge to slap that disgusted looking smile off of his face (too much?!). I have two types - the Paul Walker/Jesse McCartney type OR the Matt Kemp/Mike Catherwood type - here is an example of Mr. McCartney and all of his sexy boyish charming ways. Glad to see he is still around. Happy Friday (the 13th) Enjoy!

How Time Flies
My how things change. It really is amazing how the universe works if we just step back, take a deep breath and live. If you are having any issues with how your life is going, I urge you to take some time out of your day and think - or not think at all. Have some paper and something to write with, begin thinking of where you hope your life will go. Write all of your goals down, scribble, jot - no need for full proper sentences. Your life is built by you and hopefully guided by faith when you connect and lead the path you were meant to follow.
One year ago today my income came from unemployment as I looked for work, hoped for the best, prayed for guidance and started living with a positive attitude. I was the only person getting in my way. Of course, people will come and go in your life and seem to be the ones who cause changes but it's all for the best when you can let go and let God. My life was "all shook up" and because I could not control it I began feeling more stressed out, sad and lost. I had come full circle back to the city I grew up, same nieghborhood, same friends - I obviously had something to figure out. What are the lessons I need to learn? Where am I going? Who am I?
Something hit me one day, literally like a tap in the gut and slowly I started realizing that I needed to Live; really get out in the world each day and do something, smile at people, chat with them, help others, volunteer! While my life is mine, living is about creating connections and making a difference in each day.
We don't know which moment is our last - if it were this one, are you happy with how you have lived? What impact did you make on the people in your life? What activities make you happy? Who do you enjoy spending time around? Surround yourself with the joys in life, people and things that help you smile. Let go of people and environments that bring dark energy to your day. When I lived in a cloudy world, I blamed people around me for why I felt bad - the last straw broke when I blamed a black cat for one of my worst weeks ever. Months later I started leaving water and food out for that cat because he just hung around and I realized he was around as a lesson; to help me wake up and take responsibility for myself.
I took stock in my life, the things I knew for sure and started visualizing where I want to go. I went back to the basics - in some ways I had to, and in many ways simplicity is what we need to gain clarity. There is so much energy in the world getting in the way of our primary needs. To really tune in we must turn off, tone down. Not to say that life is all roses and rainbows - although there is a good amount - but that is life. I'm working to go with the flow even more and do what I need to in order to live my best life. As long as I am living in the most complete, effective way for me then I am doing what I can for this world and hopefully making a difference on my path to live a fulfilling life.
Good luck on your journey!
