Thought:
A smile is cheer to you and me
The cost is nothing –it’s given free
It comforts the weary –gladdens the sad
Consoles those in trouble –good or bad…
Unlike most blessings for which we pray
It’s one thing we keep when we give it away.
Blessings!
“We think we’ll be safest tiptoeing carefully around land mines of criticism. Callings beget criticism. The thing about trying to please critics: they’re never pleased. A wise man once told me that there are people you don’t want to like you.” – Beth Moore
I have always wanted everyone to like me. I want people to feel good, not only about the day, what is going on around them, about themselves, and about me.
It’s been a hard lesson, but I have realized that I can’t always make everyone happy. Not everyone will like what you do, say, or how you act. There will be people that just don’t like you. But YOU have to like you. You have to accept the flaws, bumps, and awesomeness that you are. That’s it. It is harder than it seems, eh?
Blessings today…and always.

Who leads your life?

A good mid-week reminder—Happy Hump Day!
Blessings!
Nope. Not this week. Have I cooked? Nope. Not this week. I so needed to, but with traveling back on Saturday (15 hours in the car), and unpacking, and laundry on Sunday (yada, yada, yada), I am happy to functioning with my new job this week. Adult lunchables, and Taco Bell (protein bowl-no rice!) have been my friends.
So, real life, right? Not all of social media is happy – mine especially! I post things that try to encourage myself, and hopefully you as well!
But today…truth…I didn’t meal plan for the week. I didn’t do much to get through this week. Oh, well, so goes life, right? So, happy Thursday!! And…this weekend I will meal plan, well, there is hope.
Blessings!
“I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.” – Georgia O’Keeffe

Loved being able to see this with my own eyes…at the National Gallery of Arts East in Washington DC.

Do you feel as though you have to compete with the person next to you? At your job? Do you feel as though you have to fight for every step? Why can’t we all support one another without having to step on each other? We are all on the same team, right? Women do this, but yet state we want to encourage one another. Fixing each other’s crowns….uplifting, encouraging each other is what I want to do. I shouldn’t have to fight to stand here, right? For my bloom to see the sun? We each have gifts, and each have a right to the sun? Each one of us bring something unique to the table. Not to be difficult, but different. We need to take time to listen to each other. We need to take time to encourage, and support. For each of us just wants to be enough.We are in the same fight…fighting to bloom.Blessings.

Because yesterday was a lot. Too much. Doubt. Questions.
Today. Today–I am enough, unbelievably enough.
Believe. I need to believe this today.
