Life is too short...Enjoy the ride.


There are times in life when you come upon a situation that no matter how hard you try to fix it, it just won't fix and quite possibly, the more you try to fix it, the worse it gets.  I had such a moment this morning, because like everyone else, I am human, and sadly I let it affect a good part of my day.

I admit, I am a sensitive human being by nature. I am one of those silly people that actually cares what people think about me and when it isn't in balance with the way I feel about myself, it hurts a bit.  I am not perfect, I am not trying to be perfect.  Over the past few months I have been grown some confidence, but today I let myself down by caving, instead of standing up for myself.  In short, I had a moment of weakness, seen in abundance in my own past.

People will sometimes say things that might hurt you.  A lot of times it is just a misunderstanding and no bad harm is intended.  When this happens, you can do one of two things.  Let it go and say nothing (sometimes the best thing to do is to not engage and take the bait), or you can try to rectify the situation, but don't go overboard, once is enough, maybe an extra reiteration, otherwise let it go.  It's not worth it.  Note:  You can learn from these situations though, so it doesn't happen again. Remember, every situation is an opportunity to learn.

I have a quote I have always liked and the journey this last year, has never made it sound more true, "Life is too short for drama & petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and Live while you're alive...".  Don't sweat the small stuff.  Big sucky things and little sucky things are going to happen in your life. Some situations you can control and the ones you can't, just go with the flow.  I try to teach this to myself everyday and one of these day I know I will catch on.  Some things just aren't worth it.

Until tomorrow...choose your battles wisely, and go in love.  Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, just as you do.  I will try to remember this too.

ps.  Full moon tomorrow, October 27th, so don't turn into a werewolf.  Be kind to each other and speak friendly to one another. <3

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

Not sure what the title should be.

Brace yourselves, this will probably be a rambling post, but hey, no one is perfect and it is apparently one of the things I do best.  I think this post will be about resolutions, but I didn't want to put that in the subject line, I thought I would keep you guessing.  So mean right? Or is that clever trickery?  Sometimes I am so wicked awesome (in my own mind).  So let's get to it.  Resolution number one.  No resolutions.  For me they end up being empty promises that only make me feel guilty at the end of the year.  So for the second year in a row, I am flying by the seat of my pants and coming up with idea's of things I want to, need to and have to get done. As those of you who read my blog know, I made this oath last year and went on one hell of a year long, transformative, journey.  As I write this today, I think I might have just finished with one of the biggest transformations in my life and I didn't even realize...

Need a tip? Don't let Social Media kill your self-esteem.

This is my fifth draft on this subject and I find that the more I rewrite this, the less redundant I seem to become.  I'm also a little less cynical, since my first draft. I am trying to take the more positive approach to life, what can I say? New Year's Resolution? Probably, but that's a topic for another day. So, let's get to the nitty gritty of the subject line.  Do you ever feel like you are ignored or 'not worthy' when on Twitter?  Maybe even Facebook?  I have a friend that does when it comes to Twitter.  Yeah, okay, it's me, but Facebook isn't my problem, in fact, I know personally 99% of my Facebook Friend's, because I don't just friend anyone, which is also why I don't look like I have many friend's on there. *shrugs*  Besides, that's what Twitter is for... From time to time I like to comment or retweet things I see.  I don't expect a response or a like, but when I don't get one, I think 'Oh Crap, did I ...
