“Always let your conscience be your guide.”-Jiminy Cricket I don’t always follow the advice I give to my family or friends. I’ve been told on numerous occasions that I’m a good listener and I give good advice. So why can’t I take my own? In almost every situation I’ve been through that didn’t end on…

Everyday

Every human being on this earth has a talent engrained within them from the moment they are created. That is something major to revel about. Over 7 billion people on this planet and we ALL have a talent. Some of us have yet to discover and some of us are using it right now (for good I hope). And…

You Get What You Give

Sometimes as a single parent, I go through my moments of weakness; where life feels a bit discombobulated and it’s difficult to focus on one task or thought at a time. Where it feels like everybody needs me at the same time or I can barely get myself together. All parents have experienced this. However,…

Yield

I couldn’t wait to get in my car and drive straight home from work. For some reason, the paperwork on my desk laughed at me from Monday to Friday. I even caught myself rolling my eyes at the stacks on my desk. I couldn’t wait to go home. However, I’m an Earth sign and as…

Abilities

Earlier this evening my kids and I were on the phone with my older cousin, chit chatting. My son then asked him, “if you could have a super power what would it be?” And then it got me thinking, “what would I want my super power to be?” I immediately chimed in and said “TELEKINESIS!!!,”…

Speak and Breathe

So I actually spoke one of my goals out loud yesterday and it was…different. The majority of the time, I would always daydream or just think about my goals but verbally acknowledging one of them brought a different feeling over me. Not to mention I had extra encouragement along with it. It felt real. And…

Connect

Everyday I get an email from Dictionary.com with a “Word of the Day.” Seeing as how I’m an aspiring writer and I love to learn, I figured it would be great to learn a new word everyday. One day last week, the word infomania was emailed for the Word of the Day. Here’s the definition:…
