It's hard to believe that another year is almost over. As a child it seemed like months took forever to end. Now as an adult the months seem to fly by. I have learned with age that as the days and months fly by we need to embrace and cherish every minute of it. I have been blessed with a healthy and fairly easy 2013, but so many have not. Our family has had some speed bumps on the road of life, but nothing in comparison to what others are facing. I have always said through some of my most difficult trials in life someone somewhere is going through something much worse. We need to learn to understand our difficulties and pray for the strength to do something constructive with the pit falls in life. In saying that I know it's not always easy to do. We're so quick to focus on the negative in life and forget to look at the positive. My Soul Writing Workshops and my T-shirt line have become my positive. It's extremely rewarding to share my hurt and see others grow from...

Finally at 11:30 I can sit at the computer... it's been one of those mornings. I'm still sick, but had to run around this morning helping my son get his car going so he could get to work. When someone is finally on the right path you don't want the little stumbling blocks to discourage them. He's not completely ready to use his stumbling blocks for stepping stones. I know I still have days where it's hard to stay positive with what life throws at you. Besides, that's what family is about... helping one another. Going to try and get some rest while Makenna is sleeping. Have an awesome Wednesday!

When I came across this quote I thought this is so true.  I grew up in a toxic environment with negativity being a huge part of my life, but as a child I somehow knew that my life didn't have to continue in that direction. So as a young adult I worked on retraining my mind to think differently. In fact, my husband kids me about all of the quotes and positive books that I read, but that's what works for me to keep my mind set the way I want and need it to be. Don't let the negatives in life steal your joy and who you are. Let it give you strength and power to become the person that you want to be. Happy Wednesday!
