My iPhone apps I hope everyone is having a great week so far!! I have been wanting to write this post for a while but with my life just putting a damper on my mind power, I haven't had the chance till now.  I think our phone is kind of like a women's purse, we carry lots of essential things. As a woman, I still find it intriguing to see what other ladies carry along(and I know most Males wonder too). And along those lines, I feel that certain apps can be essential to our lives in so many ways. So let us delve into the "unsecret" life of my iPhone.  Mundane apps I use often/not so often (besides basic social media apps like FB, Twitter, Instagram) : Youtube - always good to have when far away from a computer. Fitbit - only randomly look at this one. Plant Nanny- I love this app because you grow a plant everytime you water it. You can only water your plant when you drink a glass of water yourself. This literally keeps me drinking water even though I tend...

This post is gonna be me venting and writing out my struggles of 2018 so far. Which isn't usually my style. But I think it will be good therapy for me. Plus if you have been following me as a blogger and notice I fell of the face of the planet... here you will kinda get a glimpse of my life lately. Its been a hard year, to say the least. I am now finally not feeling so exhausted, but unfortunately, this new found energy will be short-lived. Which you will find out if you continue to read this post. I understand life is about living but also about death. And death hit home in January when my Grandpa passed away. This from an outside perspective figured it didn't affect me much. But that isn't the case for a person like myself( highly sensitive/empath ). Because even though I wasn't very close to my Grandpa(not by my choice), doesn't mean I don't care or feel sadness. And for me, I just didn't know how to feel. Its a confusion feeling of ...

I've been meaning to write this post for a while. But life has been getting in the way. Esp when you decide to do a water fast and a juice fast lol. And quite frankly I just didn't make time to write it.😂 Not because I don't think its important but because its ok to procrastinate at times.  My whole life seems to be a series of rules that someone made up to keep me or you from just being your own damn self. I clearly love to defy these rules. For an instance as soon as I find a love in some type of hobby, I end up feeling compelled to put a time schedule on it(why do I do that). And make it more complicated than what it should be. Then I am like f@#k this time frame. But where did these rules come from? Is it just me creating these rules for myself? (maybe you can relate?) Or maybe it's the media that creates these rules of how perfect and successful I should be. I want to be successful but it can really zap the joy out of things. This especially can happen...

Most people either unconscientious or conscientiously are searching for happiness in their life. But the truth from my own experience is you won't find it outside yourself. No person, thing or situation can make you happy for long. And lasting happiness is a myth . Because life is about the experience of all emotions. Without pain or sadness, or even just melancholy, you wouldn't know what happiness feels like. But the great thing is you can create more happiness in your life. There is an effort on your part, it won't just randomly be on your doorstep( or will it? ). But it is possible to create these moments of happiness. Before I share my own ways that may help you find joy in your life. I would like to talk about a universal law that most are not familiar with. This is the law of the pendulum . Which I think is an important law that most don't explain. Imagine a pendulum moving back and forth, one side is happiness and the other is sadness. The center is bal...

Well, it's 2018 now and you know this year is gonna be a good one. But you've been saying that about the last few years. You may feel like you just can't get it together. And I have those moments myself. So how do you pull yourself out of a rut and get in gear? Here is my list of things that will set you up for success. Making goals for the year. Pretty basic I know but this is key to accomplishing anything. I have way too many goals but hey that's just how I work.  What are your goals? Write them down. In fact, do it at this moment, and then continue to read this when you have finished.  Now that you know what your goals are making a vision board to really instill them in your mind. Here is a post I did a few weeks back to help you create one.  Vision Board Use your calendar on your computer to set up your schedule. This is important because if you don't have it planned its easy to say "I will do it tomorrow." So go set up your schedule w...

Tips for creating a vision board for 2018 Well, we are now into the new year of 2018. I am super excited about this year and the goals I plan to crush this year!! I have been thinking long and hard about creating a vision board. So I decided I would create it with you and share my tips as I go 😁! Plus it's a great way to send out to the universe what you want to create in your life.  First, let's get our pictures sorted away so it is easy to lay it all out..... Best to turn on some upbeat music to get you in the groove!! I got the magazines around the house to start using. Cause let's be honest there is a one time adventure of looking at them and then they hide away forever.  Ok so you got everything from your magazines cut out, but maybe you have a few pics you need but there isn't any pics in the mags you got. Not to worry we can do some image searches on google and print those bad boys out.  Now its almost there, but let us add a ...

You're not alone!! Even though your journey may feel lonely at times. Believe me I've been there. And for whatever reason you have that has brought you to a place of solitude, there are ways to cope. A part of me did not want to write this message because it shows that I too, do feel loneliness and regret towards the family I grew up in. Wishing things were different. But as the "blacksheep/Spawn of Satan", I have to keep up appearances that my life is great now(can you feel how great it is😉?). And for the most part, it is. Plus i'm not one who likes to dwell heavily on the past. You as a reader may feel the same way. So how do we cope with these feelings? I am no expert or psycho analyst. But here are some tips I use to get me through tough times. Take the mini spawn of Satan aka your puppy out for a walk.(JK!!! All dogs are wonderful and I love them, but its funny to write down. He's is more like an Angel with devilish tendencies.) Or if its ju...
