Happy Sunday! Oh man, what a week! It's been a busy one for me. I'm still working on rebuilding and rebranding my website. Apologies for the broken links and pages that are not finished! I am grateful for all of the things I'm learning about the internet. Gratitude for this week One good thing that happened to me this week… I won an award for blogging yesterday! Yeah, it was a huge surprise! I had no idea I was nominated. If you're the reader that nominated me, I want to say a super huge, "Thank you!" That really made everything that I'm doing and all the women I'm trying to reach cement ...

Making My Dream Girl A Reality
In movies and TV shows, they often have a dream girl. She’s the object of the guy’s fantasy. She’s ethereal, mysterious, and completely out of his league. By the end of the show or movie, the guy has his dream girl and they’re happily ever after. The dream is the goal, and it’s always accomplished. If only it worked like that in real life, right? This fall, I began chasing a dream girl of sorts. Not a partner, although having a girlfriend would be just as wonderful as a boyfriend. No, I mean myself. But not in the way you think. It wasn’t about achieving the perfect figure or learning ...
I am grateful for my health
Welcome to a new week everyone. Happy Sunday! I am going to enjoy a cute Paint and Sip date in a little bit. I’m glad it’s not another roller-skating date, I’m not sure my hips or back could take another nasty spill like last time. But I’ve been seeing this guy for a little while now and I really like him, lol. We seemed to find each other at the right time and under good circumstances. I’m really happy! This week has been one for the record books in terms of learning, laughing, and loving myself and others. I had a few off days (because it was freaking COLD), but I managed to get back ...
Being Real (and Grateful) Empowers Me
Happy Sunday beautiful people! We’re here after Thanksgiving and we’ve survived. I am grateful for all the blessings that found me this week. Gratitude for this week This week I was proud of myself because… I managed to exercise every day this week! Exercise is important because my medication makes me gain weight like crazy. Even with a diet change, I’ve been steadily gaining little by little each week. I have managed to slow down the gain with exercise each day, but some days are more difficult to go running/walk than others. I honestly don’t mind the weight I’ve gained too much, ...
How to Stop Blocking Your Blessings
Do you feel like you keep missing the opportunities that everyone else seems to magically stumble upon? Or do you realize way after the fact that you should’ve taken that chance or joined that group? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us. We don’t realize what we have until it’s gone or we’re too scared to take a leap of faith. And it only leaves us kicking ourselves in a few months’ time, because someone else is where we wanted to be, because they did what we couldn’t or wouldn’t. It’s amazing how we get in the way of our own happiness or satisfaction, isn’t it? I used to stand in ...
How I Came to Appreciate My Blessings in Disguise
Last year, I was considerably hurt, confused, and depressed when my ex-fiancé decided to dump me without warning. I couldn’t figure out what went wrong. In my eyes, our relationship was great. I was doing everything I could do have a solid and healthy relationship, but life did what it normally does. It threw a curve ball and had me on a plane 4 days later to Orlando, leaving the house I made into a home, most of my clothes and shoes, books, and everything important to me. I couldn’t understand it. If I had done nothing wrong, why was I ushered out of a happy life that I had worked so hard ...
