One of my New Year's Resolutions is to make a conscious effort to read more. I decided to start a little early when the movie "The Help" was showing in theatres. I heard about this book a long while back and it's been on my list of things the read I "just never got around to it." (I know, lame!) I absolutely adore Emma Stone and I knew I had to watch the movie, but I really wanted to read the book...

Good News!!
I wanted to share what I always knew to be true but recently decided to trust with all of my heart and soul. I wanted to tell you if you're seeing this and you are in a dark place there is hope because I have found it. I want to tell you that someone loves you, cares for you, believes in you and wants you to know it.
His name is Jesus Christ. He was born for YOU. He lived for YOU. He died on a cross...

The next 25.
My apologies for such a long while of not writing. I would say it was a hiatus but every time I hear the word I think of some big brain taking a little while to unwind because all they've been doing is theorizing and coming up with ways to save the world. So, I would be undermining the integrity of the word if I used it. This is more like, I meat to write but haven't gotten a chance.
I woke up yesterday...

Wild Fires and Hurricanes
It seems like the past few weeks have been absolutely insane in terms of natural disasters and weather. This of course doesn't include the huge tornadoes ripping through our country. Labor Day is approaching which for many means a three day weekend, and for some it doesn't mean much. To me, it's a time to be thankful and hopeful. I am proud every time I hear about a new volunteer group forming to...

A Message for Employers/ Recruiters
A recent conversation with a close friend inspired me to write this blog, because I have had it happen to me, and now several other people I know.
Creating a FALSE sense of urgency.
There are MILLIONS of people in the United States currently looking for jobs. Some are more fortunate than others and are currently bringing in income while others are desperate to get employed because they have no...

Family...
I have often wondered what actually defines families. When you really think about it who we are, and where we came from is all chance. Or is it?
The word "family" comes from he Latin word "Familia." It defines a group of people who are connected by a) consanguinity (same blood line) b) affinity and c) co-residence.
It's funny to me that two out of the three possible definitions are matters of...

Everything we can be
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build...

When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."
~Author Unknown
There's your thought of the day. How many times have you uttered? "I Give Up!!" I know I have. I also know that those moments never got me anywhere. In fact, it was the very opposite moments which have helped me accomplish things I never thought I could. The moments where I said, "I will NOT give up" are the ones...

Certify, Certify, Certify
I have been doing a lot of research over the different types of certifications available in my field of work. I have come to firmly believe you should certify in everything you're eligible for. It can do nothing but help you in the long run. I don't say this because it will fluff up your resume and make you look better, I say it because going through some type of certification program probably requires...

That's not "Fair"!!!
We had an excellent awakening this morning. Someone had been in my car and taken some things while we were asleep. I will not say broke into, because nothing is broken. It's our fault we left the door unlocked. I say we because we were both in the car at the same time yesterday. Nothing major was stolen, and best of all they didn't break any valuable car parts which would cost a ton to repair.
I...

Monsters Within
Last night was terrible. I have worked so hard for so long to try to control my anger and my outbursts and last night I just snapped. You know when you bicker all day and you reach the boiling point, in that moment you can't even get out the three most important words that you should in that situation? That was me. The words were in the back of my throat, and I knew I should have said them, but I...

HCG Diet- Day 2
I have finally purchased my HCG drops and I used the 4th and 5th of July as my load days. Yesterday the 6th was Day 1. I have to admit, it was horrible. I felt so incredibly awful! Mind you, none of it was physical. It was all psychological. I was so cranky and bitter because I couldn't have a snack!! This of course, makes me sound so much worse, but it's the truth. The fact that something was keeping...

A Potbelly Parent
I decided to lighten up the writing on this one!
So, in our around January I became a parent to a beautiful mini potbelly named Lilly (pictured left) My honey was not having it at first but soon....two hours after I brought her home soon....he was attached to her and she was to him. I must say, it has been a crazy ride, and I'm sure the best is yet to come!
This morning she was in one...

Coping: why and how
In our every day lives most of us have developed some sort of routine. Whether it's getting up and going to work, getting up and taking care of our kids or whatever else the case may be. Most of us also have problems that are associated with our developed routines. Some are big, some are small, some affect us in the long run and some are only just a pain at the moment. The reactions we take to solve...
Introduction
Welcome to my blog!!
I would like to say that here you will find a consistent set of information to come back to, but in reality I really am all over the place!
