Create your happiness. Think it, believe it and real life it!

    If something doesn’t serve you or make you happy anymore it’s time to move on.  Create your happiness.  Start the first chapter of whatever that new story for you will be.  Think it, believe it and then real life it. The hard part is doing it or, speaking up and out. This was…

Fierce, Confident, Unstoppable, Beautiful: Make these feelings the norm!

  More red lipstick please!  I want to wear it whenever I can.  In fact, I want to create more opportunities to whip it out.  There’s something about my Ruby Woo shade by M.A.C. cosmetics that makes me want to strut!  The belief that I can accomplish anything and make everything work.  I want to…

SAY. THEIR. NAMES.

“Can daddy die like George or like the jogger mommy”? Read that again. I felt the colour drain from my face and that pre vomit taste in my mouth make it’s way to the surface.  That was earlier this morning and about 8 hours later I’m still shook.  The week started heavy enough to hear…

When one door closes…

…well, we all know how that saying goes right?  In my case though, two opened and boy did I step inside! A follow up from my last post – take a read if you have the time.  The 2nd Annual West Coast Wonder Women tournament was not in the cards for me in 2019 and…

Dare to do you!

Each time I think I’ve got this “do you” bit, I realize that I have just scratched the surface.  Being me, doing me and accepting me.  While I strive to do so daily, I’ve come to realize that that there is more coming. As I continue to grow and as I get to know myself,…
