TRUE FRIENDS ARE HARD TO FIND, DIFFICULT TO LEAVE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FORGET. I recently had to move on from several girlfriends who were in my life. Reality is they weren't really girlfriends after all. NO, in fact, they were users,  takers, jealous, and the relationship was really one-sided, I was always giving, listening, helping and supporting, the relationship was not reciprocal.  They were jealous of my success,  but they didn't understand the hard work and effort it took for me to become successful. When I ended the relationship, they turned vindictive, manipulative, hurtful and tried the guilt trip on me. Fortunately, I am a...
  Are you a people pleaser?  Well, it's time to Stop and Start taking care of yourself. It's Okay to say NO. You don't have to feel guilty anymore for saying no. I give you permission to say no. Say no to friends, family, co-workers, volunteering, religious responsibilities and more. Your number one responsibility is to yourself and your family. Be true to yourself. Take care of yourself first or you will never be able to give and share with others.  Feed and fuel your self and your soul first. You don't have to be superwoman anymore.  You don't have to please others.  Print out this...
What is Meditation?  I believe it is a state of being in harmony with ourselves and the world around us. Meditation is a feeling of being at peace. You don't always need to sit in a special position in a special room to meditate, although the proper conditions with soft healing background music can lead to a heightened experience while meditating. You may already have experienced being in a meditative state without realizing it.  For example, I love Lake Powell, whenever I am there I revel in the beauty of nature and as I travel the lake on my paddleboard I am at one with nature...
Money problems (at their root) are always mindset problems. The greatest financial obstacle we face is our lack of awareness of the mind/body/spirit connection to our bank accounts, something almost none of us has ever really been taught. Instead, we absorbed lack consciousness and upper limiting beliefs, unknowingly holding them as truths, even though they are a form of unconscious self-sabotage. We tighten ourselves up emotionally and physically... and this drastically constricts the possibility that the money we so eagerly want and need can flow to us. Once you begin to shift your mindset, however, your entire experience with money begins to change. Rather than...
Trade Your Expectations for Appreciation and Your Life Will Change “I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.” ―Bruce Lee People never act or respond the way we want them to, expect them to, or think they should. We expect people to behave the way we behave, that’s simply unrealistic and if we continue down that path we will constantly be disappointed. If you have no expectations, then you will be pleasantly surprised at the outcomes.  No one wants to be a clone or Mini Me of someone else.  Expect and...

Beautiful Ladies learn from my experience traveling abroad, packing and safety tips - watch my short 5 part series videos. The season for traveling is quickly approaching. When traveling abroad always arrive at the airport 3-4 hours early and leave plenty of time to get to the airport because you never know what the traffic conditions will be.
