Wow, I Never Noticed...

Have you looked at the trees lately? I walk daily, but I never paid attention to the trees until I started my journey on gratitude. Appreciation for nature and the things around you are crucial in finding true happiness. When you truly love yourself you are grateful for you and everything in your circle; nature appears brand new. The simple things in life like singing birds, green grass, and trees catch your eye.

I watched the wind blow through the branches on a unique tree with few leaves and I thought to myself, "how beautiful." Then I noticed the tree planted next to the first one I observed. It was the same tree but it was shorter. The next tree was taller and the leaves were fuller. We are like trees. All of us are the same beautiful specie, but different. Love yourself and respect the unique qualities you possess.

Appreciate nature. Appreciate life. Appreciate the uniqueness that you bring. Love yourself.

40 Friday-What you don't know about the forty year old woman.

Image
  When a woman turns 40 she's entering the no judgment, no bullshit zone. She doesn't care what anyone thinks about her, but her. She's fierce, free, fabulous, and focused. The things she put up with in the past she no longer entertains. Her goals have meaning and she's on a mission to make things happen. The 40 year old woman is reclaiming her youth and bringing a certain spice back to life. She's major competition to women half her age. What they do, she can do better. Her aroma is confidence. She exhibits self esteem that can't be bought. She stands in her true authentic self and states what she needs, wants, and desires. The 40 year old woman is a mystery. She's very unpredictable, yet adventurous. When you're with her you'll discover her wild side; an unaltered, fun, invigorating woman who experiences happiness to the fullest. Many wonder how she juggles her career, family, and dreams. They don't understand this is the way she's

Stand up and be Free before You're Forty

Image
I'm wearing all of these clothes, still worrying about what they might say about me. When all I really want to do is be FREE. I hold all my curse words in because I really don't want to offend. When all I really want to do is be FREE. My life is mundane. I go to work, pick up the kids, go home, cook, and go to sleep. When all I really want to do is be FREE. People depend on me to do everything. When all I really want to do is be FREE. I see others experiencing new, fun things, while I sit watching and judging behind the scenes. When all I really want to do is be FREE. The news, negative spirits, peers, and parents keep me living in fear. When all I really want to do is be FREE. I live in a house with a white picket fence. I have rules, morals, and an image to keep. When all I really want to do is be FREE. Lust is real. Life is not perfect and no one can ever be. Hello world. I'm forty. I'm fabulous. I'm FREE. Don't wait until you'
