Do You Trust Fate To Be Kind?

I was at the gym and heard a song I have not heard in years…seriously…years. It was by Cathy Dennis. Some of you may remember her. She was a hit back in the early 90’s. I loved her back in my Atlanta Days and this particular song reminded me of my boyfriend back in those days. My mind flashed back to all of those great Cathy Dennis songs and so I stopped my planking and plugged her into my Pandora.

My day was made!

As I sat on my bike the next day waiting for spin class to start, an upbeat classic (yep, I called it a classid) from Cathy, Touch Me All Night Long, came on and a particular line jumped right out of my ear buds and into my conciousness. In fact, shocked me because I have listened to this song so many times but had not heard it in this way or this ‘line’ before. Continue reading »

Are You A Scout?

Yesterday was 8th Grade Graduation for my youngest, Scout. She received quite the honor. She was one of 15 kids out of 422 who worked hard and received straight A’s in middle school. That is pretty impressive, I have to admit. I could raise my head high and be the proud mom and give myself all the props but I’m not going to.

This one belongs to Scout.
She earned it and she can own it.

As I watched her be the first group to walk through the lawn of Madison Middle School and sit herself down in the front row, all I could think was…WOW…I want to be more like Scout. Continue reading »

Try a Blank Slate Today!

I have some of the most eye opening thoughts when I am driving. One day I started paying attention to my thoughts that seemed to be focused on other people and how I felt about them and the relationships I had with them. I also started to pay attention to not only my mind chatter but also how my body felt when I thought about each person, as this is always telling.

WOW! The epiphany hit me! Why am I letting a story of someone else affect my thoughts and my body? Yes, I was engulfed in stories. Stories that rarely get us anywhere but where we are. As the layers of my thoughts began to unravel, I began to see the nonsense of holding on to past resentments (no matter how minor), blaming anyone for anything, and carrying old baggage into any new situation.

I thought to myself… What if we took the past out of everything and approached every relationship, person, and situation with a blank slate? Now, let’s not go crazy. I am not telling you to get back together with your crazy ex who you had to get a restraining order against. What I am saying is, what if we had to see everything as new…in the present moment? What if we could see the situations and people as who they are in the moment you are experiencing them? What if we throw the stories away? Continue reading »

How many times did you lie today whether it be a white lie or a big one to get through a situation?

How many times were you afraid to tell someone what you wanted or how you felt?

We all might do it more than we realize.

And the only reason I can think that we do it is because… Continue reading »

I Needed To Hear That Today. Did You?

I’ve always loved quotes / words of wisdom. One of the first things I do in the morning is look at my favorite phrases of wisdom and enjoy the new ones that come up on my Facebook and Twitter. I often find myself saying, “I really needed to hear that today.” Then I write it down or I don’t and wish I did.

Today, I wanted to share some of my favorites with you. I will give credit where credit is due but the truth is, I have no idea where some of them came from. I hope you enjoy and that you too read/hear the exact words that will lift you up and/or take you to a new level in these words today.

We did it again.

Kelley, Kelly, Dianna, and I met up on Anna Maria Island in Florida again. We did this two years ago and regretfully skipped last year. We have made a commitment not to miss this time together again. Getting together has proven to be the most outrageous, honest, pure, and laughter inducing time we experience all year.

I saw a quote that summed up our time together.

It said:
LIFE IS SHORT. BREAK THE RULES. FORGIVE QUICKLY. LOVE TRULY. LAUGH UNCONTROLABLY. NEVER REGRET ANYTHING THAT MADE YOU SMILE. Continue reading »
