Get ready to say goodbye to May and move forward to June. Remember to always be grateful even if at times it can be hard.

Day 151 of 2024- One more day to end of May

 Hey Friends!

It's almost the end of May. As I think about month end and the fact that 5 months have passed, I can't help but think about all the things that have happened and instead of getting upset, a better approach maybe to say "how stupid and how funny."

I have seen so many ridiculous things happen at work and after working with so many unprofessional and unqualified leaders, I now just have to laugh.

You know sometimes taking the view of "how stupid is this and how funny" can help to alleviate some of the stress. Remember in a year from now you will still be nodding and laughing at how things really are. 

So friends, just laugh it of. 

Have a great one!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 150 of 2024- Tiny Errors

 Hey Friends!

How is it going? We all have so much to do and we all make mistakes. I want to remind you that they are just tiny errors in your life or work place. Don't let the small things bother you. 

I have made many mistakes at work and continue to do so. I remember having a couple of managers who would point it out and not let it go and then they would send emails with typos! So I just laugh but I know I can't point them out to anyone. 

So brush it off and let the tiny errors go. Its truly not worth your time to get wound up about it and remember the most important thing is that these tiny errors are the ones that help us grow so keep making mistakes and keep growing. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 149 of 2024- I love this quote

 Hey Friends!

Hope you all are having a great day. I love food and came across this quote today:

"I value connection and finding the common denominator in food, because it is something that can transcend race and ethnicity and gender."-Nyesha Arrington

Food is such a great denominator and its true that we all, no matter where you are from eat food and that is something we can all enjoy and a great way to bring everyone together.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 148 of 2024- Summer is Here

 Hey Friends!

Hope you all had a great weekend. For me, its the start of summer which is my favorite season. I love the long days and warm weather. It just makes my bones and mood feel really good. 

No matter what season you are getting into, take the time to think about what the season means for you. It could be that you set more time aside to travel and relax or it could mean where you need to work harder than ever. 

A season is a great way to think about a longer time period where you can really stretch your plans and goals. Along with thinking what the season holds for you, think about how you can build into your current habits or new habits. Really use the start of this week to write down or reflect what it means and enjoy every moment of it. 

Have a great week!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 144 of 2024-Take a deep breathe

 Hello Friends!

Today I found myself getting all tensed up about something small. Well, its small now since I am calmer but it did not seem small then. I had to remind myself to focus on my breathe and took some deep breathes. 

It was a hard, long day but taking my deep breathes helped me to get less tensed and enabled me to take a different view. It was the deep breathes that helped.

So if you find yourself having a really tensed day, then here is a reminder to step back and take a few deep breathes.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 142 of 2024- Another new day!

 Hey Friends!

Good Morning/Evening where ever you are. Its early for me and as I am having my coffee, it feels so good to know that today is a brand new day. Its another start. 

For those of you whose resolutions have not begun yet or if you have stopped on pursuing your goals, today and everyday is a do over. Start and know that just because we are 5 months in to the year, does not mean you need to give up on your goals this year. We still have 7 months left in the year.

So friends, I always believe in starting on a brand new day and make that day today for you. 

Have a great Tuesday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 140 of 2024- Take time on Monday

 Hey Friends!

So here we are, another start to another week. I have learned to take my time for Mondays. What I mean by that is, I don't wake up and look at work email or rush to reply to anyone. I usually end up taking an hour or so just doing what I need to do personally to prepare myself. 

Most of it is mental preparation so I will spend additional time in nature or listening to music and maybe even read for a bit. I tend not to rush and it helps me begin the day a little more smoother. 

So as you prepare to start your Monday, think about how you can take your time and do more self care as you begin the week. Try not to look at your email first thing in the morning and just let the day begin at your pace and when you feel more ready to. I know sometimes this is not always possible with certain jobs, but I do believe that even 5 extra minutes will do good. 

Well, have a great Monday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 139 of 2024-Don't wait

 Hey Friends!

Happy Saturday. Its a rainy weekend where I am and as much as I would like to sleep in, my kids games and all other errands still continue. 

It guess its never the right time right. Nature does not stop the rain just because my kids have games as much as I would like it to. Nature does what it wants to do, when it wants to. 

We should adopt this don't wait mode of life. If you are waiting for permission, approval, promotion or whatever else don't. You don't need to let anything stop you right now and at this moment to start whatever it is what you want to. There is no point in waiting for anything or anyone. 

Start with noting all the things that you want to do this weekend and just go for it, rain or shine. Just don't wait. Keep one step in front of the other. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 136 of 2024- Hump day

 Hey Friends!

So its not only hump day but also mid May. Take a few minutes to give thanks and think about how you can make the rest of this month better. 

I always like to take a step back and see how things are going and making any mental notes of tweaks that I need to do for my own self care and well being. 

Its important to not forget yourself in the midst of all the busyness. Take sometime and focus on you. 

Have a great day!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Here is a reminder to take a look at your goals that you set at the start of the year. If you did get goals, go back and take a look at how far you have come and if you need to make tweaks. If you have not started, focus on beginning and taking the step needed. 

Don't lose sight of what you wanted to achieve at the start of the year.

Day 123 of 2024- Clean up

 Hey Friends!

So since this is a month of growth and transition, use this time and week to also clean out. I know for me, that means a spring clean out. Get ready for the change in weather where ever you are and prepare for the next few months.

Use the time to clean out and throw out stuff that is no longer needed. We do tend to keep things thinking we may use it someday but my rule is if you have not used it in 3 months, chances are you will not use it in the next 3 months. So go through your stuff and get rid of anything that you need to.

Enjoy the cleaning and make way for new things to come. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 122 of 2024- May 1st

 Hey Friends!

 May is a transition month. If you are in the southern hemisphere, then summer is gone and if you are in the northern hemisphere, then cold winds are gone. 

So matter what it is a time for change. What does that change mean for you specifically? Are you in looking for a transition. Use this month to inform you of the changes you need to make and the areas you need to grow. 

Have a wonderful month you all! Stay in your lane and use the month well.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
