Words Hurt

Today something saddened me...I was flitting through the grocery store with a skip in my step...The fall air was crisp and everyone had beautiful, friendly smiles on their faces. I had small talk with a few of them about pumpkin carving, caramel apples and how beautiful the morning was...As I went around the corner, a young boy ran into me. The guardian yelled horrible words at him and looked at me to apologize and making sure to let me know that he was not her child. Like he wasn't good enough?

The boy looked sad and beaten down. My heart broke for him...I looked him in the eyes and made sure he knew it wasn't his fault and wished him a Happy Halloween and lots of candy...Making sure to not acknowledge the so called" guardian. I walked away saddened and helpless. I thought about things I could or should of said...I guess the only thing I can really do is pray that he be able to rise above the words and the abuse. And wish his little life the best...Remember words hurt and they can change the way the person (man, woman and child) thinks, acts and leads their lives. We all get upset from time to time, but there is always away to handle that anger...and words are not it! Repost this and let's spread the word that words are damaging and they hurt...This photo says it all...

Finding Your Inner Peace

    For so long, I wanted peace. I longed for peace. I dreamt about peace. I searched high and low for the answer on how to have peace in my life. Thinking it was unobtainable, at least for my own chaotic life. Until one day, I learned the secret to peace. The ability to quiet myself in the middle of the storm. It was so subtle at first, I didn't even know I had stumbled upon the answer I had been searching for for so many years. With practice, the peace in my heart and in my mind got stronger, as a muscle would when you exercise it. Yet, at the same time it got more quiet. A quiet strength that I could feel through out my body. It felt so peaceful and safe. I had never felt safe within myself before. I always needed someone to help me handle situations and help me figure out problems. It felt so good to be able to rely on myself and my own thoughts and decisions. As the days went by, it seemed I could handle life's ups and downs more and more. I was able to step back and get the answers to solve the problems in a peaceful manner. I was able to stand outside the storm and figure out my next step.


When you are caught up in the storm you react in a way you regret. You react in fear, guilt, anger and hatred. That only fuels the storm and you spiral down into a dark hole of desperation. You end up beaten down and worn out once the storm passes. Only to be caught up in the next storm that blows in.
But when you learn how to have inner peace in any situation you react slower and give yourself more time to respond. It is okay to take some time to ponder over what you need answers for. It is okay to walk away and gather yourself. To have peace in your life, you must learn to breathe, to be truly thankful for all you have {running through your mind all day, every day little thank yous for life's blessings and even life's lessons}, you must be able to put yourself first at times and care for yourself the way you would your loved ones {and do it without guilt and in a non-selfish way.}, and you MUST let go of guilt and the mistakes you have made.

Guilt is a big part of the blockage to your inner peace. You have to be able to let go of guilt completely. You do that by taking the responsibility of what you feel guilty about. By acknowledging why you feel guilty and taking responsibility for it, you are breaking the cycle of your habitual guilt patterns. You only need to see your pattern to understand that this guilt you carry around is not serving your life and the lives around you well. It is like a cancer eating away at you and stopping you from living the life you dream about. By acknowledging the guilt pattern, completely owning and accepting the responsibility of it, learning from it {so that you can get out of the cycle of habitual guilt} and then letting that guilt go, so you can finally have the inner peace you seek. As you are letting it go you say to yourself, "I am human and I will make mistakes. But I will not have guilt over them. I will only learn from them." You need to really learn from your mistakes and remember them as you journey through your life. In life it is not the lessons and mistakes that we make that break our spirits and weigh us down. It is not that you messed up and blew it that hurts the most, it is that you messed up and blew it again and again on the same mistake. Learn from your mistakes, use them as building blocks to create the life you truly know you deserve. It is possible and it is never too late to start.

 I want all of you to have peace and to feel worthy of it. Without peace in your life, you are destined to struggle and stumble through this gift that we call life. But when you obtain peace, own it in your own heart and mind, you are able to see the world differently, more brilliantly. Use this life as though you would a treasured gift, because that is what life truly is. Life is a gift, use your gift to better yourself and shine that gift onto the world. We could all use the Peace...

The Magic Is In YOU!

You hold in your hand the magic to change your life around. All you have to do is realize you are the creator of your happiness...Not your family, friends or outside environment...Look inside of yourself. Take some time to get to know who you are and what you want your life to be. You are the only one that can answer that question. When I was young I followed and emulated those around me. Not knowing who I was  or what I was destined to do with this life. I choose to believe in others ideas more than my own. I didn't believe in myself or my ability to make my own decisions. That doesn't have to be the case with all young adults, they have the ability to be their true authentic self  when ever they take the time to nurture their spirit, their darma.  But as I got older I realized there was so much more to who I was, what I was about. My taste had changed a bit and I was more mature in my thinking.

What makes you happy, makes you smile, what makes time fly by? That is where to start...When you feel inspired you create "that magic"...That magic can help you through all of life's struggles, challenges and create a stability and place to run to when you need uplifting and inspiration...So open your eyes and reach out and grab YOUR LIFE by the hand and make a wish! Because your wish is truly at your command! So command it, own it and be the person you were truly destined to be!

This blog is about finding yourself and truly owning who you are and the path you are on.


This is not really about a "particular" religion or spiritual belief, it is about you and your journey and finding the path that leads you to your destiny. Though, I believe spirituality and religion play a big part in living your best life and finding inner peace and happiness, that is my own opinion. Spirituality and religion is something personal to each of us and will not be discussed in full or pushed upon in this blog. There is no right or wrong way here. That is not what this blog is about, it is about finding yourself and using what you learn here to strengthen your own positive thoughts and beliefs. All religion, spirituality and beliefs are welcome here. Because like in life, there are many pathways to get to where you are going and there is no reason to judge someone else's path. I have learned that judging can be overcome and conquered by focusing on your own path and believing in your own thoughts and letting your higher power or what you believe in guide you...and letting everyone else decide their own path and beliefs in life. I felt I had to go in depth to make sure it was clear that I welcome everyone and I want everyone to have inner peace and happiness...
