#MarvelousMondays - Thankfulness... ~xo

Good afternoon, my lovely friends!

As we work our way into November, most are focused on the 3rd Thursday of the month to begin their thankfulness...

Instead, I challenge you to start on this Marvelous Monday and begin to reflect on the beautiful things in your life that you should be thankful for... Join me and many others over the next 28-30 days and start to focus on all the good in your life and you will begin to notice how small and insignificant your issues or problems become... =)

#SpectacularSaturdays - Courage ~xo

Good evening friends,

Sometimes things do not work out as you originally planned... sometimes you do soo much and do not get the result you are looking for... not yet... it will happen... with that I wanted to say...

Thank God for tomorrow... Tomorrow offers you the opportunity to muster up your 'courage' pull yourself up by your bootstraps and do it again - this time, however, add something a little extra to your previous efforts... and never, never, ever give up! =) and do not forget to pray! ;-)

Be blessed, my dear friends! ~xo

#WedWords - Hiding Place... You always fill my heart... <3

Good morning friends!

Today, I wanted to offer two words: Hiding Place...

The Lord knows our worries or thoughts even before 'we' think them into existence... I had some worries on my heart this morning & as soon as I opened my bible... He offered me this promise... that He alone is my hiding place... and that He would surround me with songs of deliverance...

Cast your cares on Him, my dears... Some may be going through some things and you may feel that no one understands your pain or your worries, however, He does... He cares for you... 

Take time to view the video below & look over some of the verses and place them in your heart for safe keeping and as a reminder of His love and promises to you!

Be blessed this day!

Hello loves!

Since I missed #WedWords – I wanted to share #ThursdaysThoughts with you…

I hope today greets you with Sunshine to warm your face and a cool breeze to grace your face…

 

Today, I am feeling especially loved by my Father in Heaven and I just wanted to share with you and remind you that God is love and no matter what you may be going through right now – He sees your worries, your thoughts, your pain and He wants to relieve you of all of that… He is closer than a mother or brother, He is love.  His love never fails.  Reach out and call unto Him – our Father of love!

The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.- 1John 4:8

And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. – 1 John 4:16

Have a great day, friends!

Here in Vegas is has been a bit of a Cruel Summer already… Though I love the Summer time and all that it brings with it: Vitamin D in excess, Shorts, Sleeveless Dresses, Tank Tops, Sexy Sandals, Tanned legs… I could have waited just a bit more… We are already experiencing record highs 103 – 109s – ahhh (and not in a good way)… What does July / August have in store for us?

I hope you are having a lovely Tuesday!

#WedWords: Rassen Frassen: something you might yell at someone who is pissing you off, you just can't find the right words. Something mumbled under your breath…

Today, I visited one of my fav places for lunch… I will not mention, however, it happens to be a salad bar express… anyways, while I was there – I ordered the usual and was told that I could not have it – when I asked for more of a certain ‘green’ I was denied… when I inquired further, he retorted: “No, I cannot”

Aghhh… terrible customer service and I all I could think of was: rassen frassen (grumble, grumble) only was I kept my cool…

Happy as a Clam! Are clams really happy? I read that open clams give the appearance of smiling and that is why the saying came about.  Either way, I am happy – my belly is happy, my taste buds are happy!

Today, I broke my fast… Well, it finished – I should more clear.  I was on a 21 day fast off of all sugars, meat, wine, coffee, anything processed.

This morning, I enjoyed my first cup of coffee – it was fantastique!

Below is me relishing in my Nutella filled crepe! So Yummm!  Tonight, I will go w my babes and enjoy some Red Velvet Cheesecake & then swear off the sweets again – summer is knocking on our door… Wine will still be on the list!

Today is a special throwback… I was so busy yesterday that I forgot, I guess it was meant to be posted today ----

While I realize that this is not quite a throwback being two years old, however, today my heart needs lifting… it is ebbing and flowing between sadness and joy… I want to focus on how Great my Lord is & how I know that my dad is okay because he is the hands of our loving Father…

In memory of my dad on this sixth month anniversary of his passing – I focus on my Lord to get me through this painful time…

#WedWords - Tenacity ~xo

#WedWords : Tenacity: being tenacious…

The dictionary says to be tenacious is to be: pertinacious, persistent, stubborn, or obstinate… (you can view this positive or negative)

I say do not let defeat have the last word!  That is what being tenacious is all about!

In what areas of your life do you exude tenacity?

For me, I would have to say that it has to do with health… when I am working on me – I am full force – no holds barred… =)

I am happy that I was able to quiet my desires for a while in order to listen to what my Lord wanted to impress on my heart…

A time to draw nearer... nearer to my Lord!

Yes, it is Shrove Tuesday! I will not be making pancakes…  (already did that on the weekend for my boy) however, I will be enjoying a Crêpe & you know what it will be made of… do not act surprised… I am not, lol!

It will be made of Nutella, baby! Why would it be anything else?

I am on my way as we speak to the shop – when I return – I will have a photo in hand & a belly full of that gooey goodness! Ahhh… cannot wait!

Tomorrow starts the sacrifice =)

To be accountable, I will share with you the following down below.

For those of you who know me, I am Christian – Lent is celebrated in the Catholic calendar… not so much for us – However, fasting is always a way to sacrifice your belly and desires in order to pursue a closer relationship with God… that is my goal and desire! So… with that being said, I am going to use the time allotted for Lent as an outline for my own fast…

For the first 21 days (this is considered the Daniel Fast):

-          NO Meats

-          NO Poultry

-          NO Dairy (this includes cheese), no eggs

-          NO Sweets

-          NO Wine

-          And this is killer for me… NO Coffee… :/ (this will be worse than not having sweets)

The remainder of the time – I will lay off the sweets and anything else God puts on my heart…

I pray and hope that who ever is celebrating Lent, may you have a blessed fast and may you draw closer to God as this is the true goal of fasting.

Be blessed…

In the spirit of the Giants winning – wanted to Throwback with some Madge! Just had to throw that in there!

Let’s go back to 1987 when she decided to be bilingual and wax on to La Isla Bonita!

Til this day I still lurve this song… I can sing all the words and dance to it always… it is fun and sultry at the same time…

I hope you had a great Monday… now, let’s throwback a bit and sing along…

 

Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

#MAC & Me...

Can you believe it?

I finally gave in... yes, I did... I could not believe it myself... however, necessity is the mother of invention & how, oh, how could I start to invent such greatness if I did not adapt and take it up a notch...

Yes, I am talking about my newest acquisition... a MacBook Pro!

I bought it a few weeks ago and have hard a time crossing over or even trying to figure her out... yes, my Mac is a she :)

Many know me as being an Android lover and I have no intention of crossing over to an iPhone - do not like them - maybe it is because I do not know how to appreciate one - does not matter - Not Interested!

My Macbook was bought for business purposes... let me make sure that I use her - she was an expensive write off... lol

I will say that the dear Mac person that sold me this baby was so patient, informative and helpful that I will recommend him time and time again! So... if you are like me and in search of a Mac - let me know, I will pass you the info...

For now, I am onto new pastures... discovering and learning what this machine can do... too bad it cannot bring world Peace!

Omigosh! I was dreaming of this song and literally woke up singing it! I just had to share it for this week’s Throwback!

"I think he's in love."

"I think he's kinda cute."

"I think you two should shut your yaps."

 

 

I know that it is not a song on the charts, however, when Grease 2 came out – I fell in love with Michelle Pfeiffer and her version of ‘Cool Rider’… yes, I know this is more of a chick song, however, I hope you gents can appreciate her asking for a cool guy – which is what you are, right?!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Have a super day, my loves and thank you for always tuning in!

#WedWords - Vapid - #Bachelor ;-)

#WedWords: Vapid: lacking or having lost life… flavorless!

 

So, I was watching The Bachelor the other night and this word kept on getting thrown around by Emily in regards to Courtney… it was quite funny – I have used this word once before and had not heard it again until Monday night…

To be quite honest – I think Boring Ben is quite vapid – he is so dry – he must be my least favorite bachelor to date… he definitely is lacking flavor – Courtney on the other hand is just downright Crazy & Manipulative – not really vapid – to be quite honest – she is quite lively! I am only continuing to watch this show because I embarrassingly admit that I enjoy the ‘lady’ drama… not the crying – just the back and forth…

So, there’s your word for the day or even week! Go ahead and think of people or situations that bring the word vapid to mind!

#WedWords: Awestruck: Filled with awe…

Actually, that sums up Me! I am filled with awe ;-)

I am awestruck by the wonderful changes practicing yoga has had on my body… and mind… not to forget the ‘me’ time…

I am an aggressive little girl and I like to kick, punch, sweat & dance it all out – so, I never would have thought that yoga would be ‘it’ for me… I practiced Bikram yoga a few years ago & loved it, however, got so busy w other forms of exercise that I left it behind… for the last month I have been steadily practicing again and it is super! It is hard to see a difference in yourself when you are constantly looking… my super other half sees the changes & now I am beginning to as well.  If you have never practiced yoga, I say with much encouragement… Go and try it! You will not be sorry… as for the yoga I am practicing… it is called Vinyasa (Baptiste) I do still kick, punch, sweat and dance it out, though!

Make Over Your Mornings: 7 Shifts to Create Better Days

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kristi-blicharski/happy-tips_b_1200084.html?ref=good-news&ir=Good%20News - by Kristi Blicharski

Snooze button. Waking up with thoughts racing about the day's to-do list. Snooze button again. Lying in bed feeling like you don't want to get up and face the over-scheduled day. Remembering the person who frustrated you last week, realizing you have no time for breakfast because you've already hit that snooze button twice, and... Let's take a breath.

One of the most important parts of your day, if not the most important, are the very moments you wake up in the morning. This is when the tone and course for the day ahead are set. The way you start your morning -- everything from your first thoughts to what you consume to the way you get ready -- has big-time influence your happiness, success and energy overall. And here's great news: Simply making some small shifts to the way you approach your mornings can empower your days and lead to radical positive changes in your life.

By making some positive changes to my own mornings a few years ago, I was able to create much more balance, energy and happiness in my own life, and I'm loving it! I truly believe this is one of the keys to a higher-quality life overall, which is why I'm so passionate about spreading the word.

It all starts with your thoughts. As you're waking up each morning, those first few thoughts that float through your cloudy mind are some of your most powerful, and they have the influence to set the tone for your entire day. With practice, you can to train your mind to make your first thoughts of the day positive, inspiring, high-quality ones.

Even if those first few minutes are not necessarily negative, and may even seem neutral, the idea is to step it up to a happier, more optimistic level. For the next few weeks, make a conscious, deliberate effort when you wake to shift your thoughts to anything that brings you joy, inspires you or brings you peace. After the first month or so, you'll find that waking up in a much more positive place will become natural, and so will better days.

Seven shifts you can make to create a positive morning mindset:

• Keep a colorful pad and pen next to the bed to write down positive thoughts, affirmations and things you're grateful for when they come to mind. When you need a little nudge in the morning, grab the pad and read away.

 

Memorize a positive saying or affirmation as a "default" phrase you can easily shift to when needed. A simple one is, "It's a new day and another opportunity for a great fresh start."

 

 

Place a favorite quote or affirmation in a little frame on your nightstand. Something that always puts you in a better place.

 

 

Keep a glass of water next to your bed so it's waiting for you when you wake up. The water will be there to welcome you to the new day, refresh your body and start you off in a nurtured place.

 

 

Have positive reading material next to your bed so you've got a regular flow of thought-provoking, uplifting content to reach for in the morning. You can also subscribe to positive blogs and e-newsletters. They're a great quick read when you're having your coffee. Make a habit of reading something inspiring each morning, even if it's just a couple of paragraphs.

 

 

Questions are powerful. Create a practice of asking yourself positive questions in the morning like, "How am I going to make today amazing?" or "What can I do to take great care of myself today?" Then go over the answers in your mind or write them down.

 

 

When you begin to feel a little overwhelmed by the day ahead, try breaking priorities for the day into manageable sets of three. Focus only on the top three priorities for the day and know that you'll be able to handle them easily and with joy. Once you move past those three, move on to the next three. This is a fantastic way to clear mental clutter and create more focus, peace and balance.

 

In addition to your morning thoughts having a huge impact, your practices and experiences in the morning have a major influence on the quality of your whole day. Take a look at other positive ways you can make over your mornings. Try setting your alarm a few minutes earlier, and be sure to avoid the snooze button. Even just an extra 15 minutes in the morning is huge. Take a couple of minutes to sit in stillness or step outside and breathe in some fresh air. Take time to eat something super healthy (a must), connect with loved ones, and to just plain slow down.

Go through the spaces where you spend time in the morning and bliss them up. Clear clutter. Add a few items that make you feel good and inspire you when you see them.

Not only will all this action and reaching for higher thoughts make your mornings drastically more pleasant, it will also create a flow of reminders that you're taken care of, that you're making yourself a priority, and that you're worth all that is good and beautiful in life. That's the way to clear the path for a great days.
