Monday motivator

Just like anyone else Monday is not my favorite day but hey it is what it is, like it or not we have to get through it! I've learned over the years that reading something positive or even at times humorous can really help shape the day I will have and wanted to share that here with all of you as a way to jump start the week.


I know this may come across a little cheesy but close your eyes and take a deep breath and slowly let it out (trust me this works), now read the quote below and at some point today take a moment to reflect on how it relates to you.



Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
Brian Tracy

sticks and stones

As kids we’d respond to teasing, taunting – BULLYING with the nursery rhyme… “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” Looking back at this as an adult I have to call this little comeback for what it is…BULLSH*T! Excuse my language but that’s the word that comes to mind when I think of this verbal shield we were taught to use as kids. Yes, its true sticks and stones CAN break your bones but words, they can leave a forever impact especially when used in a negative manner. As a kid my mother was verbally abusive. I will not go into full details of the things she’d say to me but I will say they are things you should NEVER say to a child; especially your own. I do not know why she would say the things she said to me. I do not know why she made me feel like crap as a kid the the point that I would wish I was never born. This is a hard post for me to type up because as I’m typing the things she’d say to me are rushing to the surface and reopening those old

Letter of the day: I

"I" as in me. I was born in the summer of 78 in San Jose , CA. At around age 5 I went to live with my grandfather in Lamont, Ca along with my 2 cousins while our mom's were on "vacation". I'll be 35 this year. When I look back at my life I am blown away.  I want to write a book one day, not because I think I'm super fascinating but because It might just bring hope to others in similar situations that I've been in.

I was a teen mom. It's hard to believe I have an 18 year old! Having my son at a young age was one of my motivations to be where I am today.  I was a mom again at 23. My princess Beanna was a total surprise and my saving grace. I'm a firm believer in "breaking the cyc
