My Girls (2 of 6 children)
I have been a mom since I was 17 years old. So, my identity has been wrapped around motherhood for over 26 years. I cannot imagine NOT being a mom. I’ve always been the nurturing, mom-like figure amongst my friends, even at a young age.
But, parenting is EXHAUSTING. I have 6 children, 5 of which are 18 and under. If it’s not drama Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11373052807834966265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084241670159627560.post-74152484655317324682018-04-10T13:59:00.000-04:002018-04-10T13:59:28.090-04:00
How do you find motivation?
When things get tough, life gets rough, what do you do to change it up?
For me, it’s putting on a motivation playlist from YouTube that features positive influencers like Tony Robbins, Les Brown, Jim Rohn, Pastor Joel Osteen and Eric Thomas.
I let their voices cheer me on throughout the day. They constantly remind me of being disciplined, self-motivated Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11373052807834966265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084241670159627560.post-83528762135427475902018-04-05T21:38:00.002-04:002018-04-05T21:38:59.407-04:00Are You Playing Small?
You only get this one life, are you playing to WIN?!
The hashtag #YOLO was huge in recent months, but I wonder how many people lived by that hashtag, and how many just used it to tag pictures of their dinner from last night.
You Only Live Once is a wonderful phrase to toss around. However, too many of us just let the day-to-day drown us.

When you wake up in the morning, DECIDE that you're going to have a great day.
Any decision that you make, when you first get up, is what you've told your brain to find evidence of.
Guess what, if you just make the declaration that you are going to have a great day, and do that EVERY day, you will start to see your whole life shift.

We're almost 2 full months into 2018. How are you doing?
Have you met the goals you set for the New Year?
Are you on target to achieve them?
So many of us strive to make resolutions or goals for the New Year. Then, LIFE HAPPENS. Those that achieve their goals don't wait for the New Year to set in motion the events that will get them where they want to go.

You are where you are because of decisions/choices you've made.
Some people find that statement exhilarating and exciting.
Some people find that statement deflating and depressing.
Either way....own it. Feel it.
Now, understand that if you're not happy with an area of your life, YOU can decide to change it.
Yep.
YOU.

I am all for empowering women. However, I’m not going to fit society’s labels.
I like comfy.
I wear t-shirts, sweats, flip flops.
My hair is usually up in some messy bun and
often, is a variety of colors.
I rarely wear make-up. When I do it’s just hints of colors to bring out the natural colors in my
eyes.
I have freckles, scars and tattoos.

What Are Your Goals?
Sometimes, I like to sit down with a pen and some paper and just brainstorm. What goals I have, where I've been spending my time, what I've accomplished, and so on.
What is interesting is that some of the goals have been achieved...when I've been super specific about them and taken ACTION steps to achieve them. Others, went on the "wish" list and not so Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07319706448271504818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084241670159627560.post-59835675188256777032017-09-19T18:13:00.002-04:002018-02-11T12:37:11.274-05:00Where Have You Been?

If you've followed me over the years, you may have noticed I go through waves of blogging. Sometimes, I will be more on other networks and social media then I am on here. My messages, however, are always the same.

Becoming Confident in Who You Are
One of the things I am constantly working on, and help others to work on, is having CONFIDENCE in one's self. It's not easy when the world seems hell bent on crushing you every chance it gets.
The thing is...confidence comes from within. It can be boosted by outside sources, but the only person that can truly give you confidence, is YOU.

"I don't have the money."
"I don't have the time."
"I don't know if it's right."
"I don't know if it'll work."
Just STOP. I've been there. I get it. It's FEAR.
Don't let FEAR rule you!
As a person who has to think everything out, then still makes a boat load of mistakes...I can honestly say, JUST DO IT.
The time will NEVER be right.

Everyone Want to Feel Significant
To feel loved
To feel needed
To feel appreciated
To feel helpful
To feel like they matter
To feel like what they do, matters
We just all have different ways of going about achieving that feeling.
Some people find it in their career.
Some people find it in their fitness efforts.
Some people find in in their wealth.
Some people find it in charity.

More specifically, MINDSET.

What I believe it takes to create a life you love is decide
what you want, commit to doing what it takes and be willing to seek help when
you need it.
In order to create a life you love, you need to CHOOSE to do
so. You must make the choices yourself,
otherwise you won’t be able to stick to the plan.

ourselves. We Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11373052807834966265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084241670159627560.post-78391577556687592952016-05-26T07:28:00.000-04:002018-04-05T21:41:51.995-04:00It's Not the End of the World
When life gets out of control, it's so easy to let the tough times consume your thoughts. But, does it help?
One of my children is going through a rough time. They're dealing with a lot of stress and feel overwhelmed. As a parent, I want to do everything I can to help. As someone who remembers her teen years well, I want my child to know that it really is going to be okay.

It's not an easy thing to do. Leaving behind what you know. Who you know. The places you know. No one welcomes change very easily. Especially when you don't feel that the change is of your own choosing.
When you leave a relationship, romantic or friendly, it hurts. All that you know is not the same anymore.

One of my favorite sayings, based on the quote by Theodore Roosevelt.
When life spirals out of your control, there's only so much you can do.
