Inner Conversations
Today is a new day, filled with opportunities, choices, memories and fears. I wanted to ask you and myself one question, do you realize how much your Inner Conversations (self talk) impacts what you believe and what paths you will travel?
Many times we find ourselves simply drifting along, no goals, no desires and often not even a tiny dream to fuel our way. Don't you worry, it's not too late to re-write your inner dialogue, you may not win an Academy Award for best screenplay but YOU will thank YOU for it....trust me!
Let's try a simple excercise, just repeat after me:

Let's try a simple excercise, just repeat after me:
I will honor myself enough to be prepared for the best life has to offer
I will not hold a grudge against myself for what I have not done, but instead I will gently yet firmly encourage myself to do what is in my very best interest (starting from this moment)
I will not be afraid to try, to FAIL
because ONLY then can I succeed!
I will enjoy life's precious moments by being present in each of them
I will strive to LOVE
It is never ever too late for Happily Ever After, but first we must re-write the script and practice more loving and encouraging Inner Conversations.

"Energy Re-Directed, back on the Right Track"
My my my, it has been a mighty long time since we sat down for a little conversation (me sharing with you and you reading what I am sharing with you). Ok now that I think about it that is a one sided conversation, yet I digress.
Sooo today I stumbled upon (this is also a pretty awesome website Stumbleupon.com) an article that really touched on a somewhat sensitive topic for me. Well Blissful, what topic is that? I know I know, perked your curiousity just a bit right? I read about the emotional struggle so many women face in regards to their body image!! In the United States, we are such a media driven society and that media (television, movies, music videos, magazines etc.) have created a very very dysfunctional view of what it means to be "Fly", Fine, Super Bad, Beautiful, Gorgeous, Sexy, Irresistable" and so on. Most women that, by media's standards, fit into these categories are depicted as a size 0-6
and in "Real Life" most women fluctuate between a 10-14. Amazing that the pictures of the perfect (doesn't really exist) woman are stuck so stubbornly in our minds. We view these pictures mentally more times in a day than many of us would ever let on. They are usually non-realistic and PHOTO-SHOPPED to boot (ain't nobody got time for that stinkin' thinkin')!
I read this mind altering article (for really real, it altered my stinkin' thinkin'), it reminded me of one simple truth that somehow I had forgotten and that is: "When talking about weight and self image, remember that you can only compare yourself today with yourself yesterday, and work to improve yourself. " The article titled, "A Plus Size Model’s Message to Women: Believe in Your Own Beauty" (can be found at http://www.tlvfaces.com/a-plus-size-models-message-to-women-believe-in-your-own-beauty/). After reading this one statement and looking at pictures of some healthy and visually stunning women,
my energy was re-directed and I can say I am officially back on the right track.
I'm taking a deep breath and jumping back into a healthier way of living. I am again getting laser focused and determined to be a better me today than I was yesterday.

Self Love, Your First Love
Happy Valentine's Day to you, you and ME!!!! Valentine's Day normally evokes many visions, commercials, feelings (some good and some not so much) and desires. Rose petals, candlelight, dinner, music, candy, teddy bears, lingerie, mystery dates and a good sweaty work out!!! WHAT???? Sweaty and work out...are you saying to yourself...what is this lady drinking over there??? Ok, ok let me clarify. This morning I was attempting to hype myself up to go work out and I had a light bulb moment, walk with me people. If I indeed believe (which I whole heartedly do) that God loves me and I in turn am a reflection of His love, then I owe it to God and myself to love myself...right? RIGHT! Love being an action word means that I not only say I have love for myself but I show it in the way I treat ME (mind, body and spirit). I strive to live in the present moment, I eat well but as healthy as possible, I release stress
to someone who is more equipped to handle it (than I am)..GOD and I work my temple out regularly. Take time to care for your body (it actually has a built in set of instructions if we but listen a little closer). Other than getting back to walking regularly to love on me, I have also stumbled upon a natural moisturizing body butter that my elbows and feet absolutely LOVE called "Butterfly Butter", created by Ms. Adrienne Roach. This is a perfect little treat for you, especially to maintain in between pedicures to keep the feet sweet

Self love is truly Your First Love! It is the love that allows us to flourish and fulfill our divine purpose (yes no matter who you are, where you are in your life...you have a DIVINE PURPOSE). Be still, listen, drink water, work out, pamper yourself (Men, Women and Children).
