What is happiness? Am I happy? What makes me happy?  “Finding Happiness: When you change, everything changes.” So far, I feel like I am off to a great start this year. Work-life balance? Check! Fitness? Check! Healthy eating? Check! Meeting new friends? Check! More “meaningful” time and conversations with my #LittleLove? Check! Getting rid of clutter…

First post entirely done from my iPhone… I woke up this morning with plenty of excuses on my mind. Mainly to sleep in and be lazy.  If I go church mass at 6 pm, no need to get up? (Knowing there was a good chance I might not be able to make that time) I…

Change isn’t always about embracing something unknown. It is also about giving up something old for something new. Don’t fear change. Whether it is an unhealthy lifestyle, an unhealthy relationship, a job you are unhappy with… ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE IT. If you are not where you want to be in life, change what you are doing….

If we lose and love and self respect for each other this is how we finally die.-Maya Angelou I woke up early and decided to take a break from the morning news programs. Instead, I took the time to REFLECT and PRAY. That we spread LOVE, not hate. That we be RESPECTFUL of differences. That we treat others the way…

It’s rampant today…negativity and hate 😦 So much negativity  and hate seems to have taken over our news, social media, and what were once friendly conversations about politics, now turn into hate spewing. Try to escape with being with (positive) loved ones. Make a new friend. Go out and volunteer and make a difference. Enjoy a good soundtrack….

I took a few days off blogging. Why? I spent the extra time this week…at the gym. In the upcoming weeks, I will blog about my journey of getting back into fitness and a healthier lifestyle. Ever since Halloween, there seems to have been  non-stop weekend party invites, Sunday Fundays, travel, big holiday meals and so on….

Today is a new day. Be open enough to see OPPORTUNITIES.  Be wise enough to be GRATEFUL. Be courageous enough to be HAPPY. Fuel The Soul  

When it comes to relationships and friendships, there are those that you always have (or had) to work a little harder at. Why? Because you want(ed) to believe in them.  You say to yourself, this is the time they will finally change. This is the time they will finally keep their word. Only to be disappointed…

Today, we remember a remarkable man who had  TRUE COURAGE. “Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles; Cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances. Courage breeds creativity; Cowardice represses fear and is mastered by it. Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency ask the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is…

On sleepless nights, when your mind is going a hundred miles per hour and you are trying to solve the problems of the WORLD…you know…how to rid the world of sugar, artificial flavoring (For the love of God, STOP watching documentaries Anna! Bad Netflix! Bad Anna!),  how to save the world like Carrie does on…

I will never forget the day #LittleLove came home almost three years ago from a friend’s house. “Mommy, they have such a huge house, are we poor?” I admit, I stood there and stared at her for a while. She was 5 at the time.  When did an almost 3,000 sq ft home, a car…

3:00 AM writing…Thank you #LittleCharles (puppy problems).  Some things are hard to let go. Whether it’s clothes in your closet that were once a favorite, bad eating habits, jobs, friendships, walking away from long time relationships, etc. What we often fail to do is ask ourselves one simple question: Do these things make us TRULY HAPPY?  “Respect…
