I think I needed this reminder today! ------------------------------- People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to

Ah the things I've learned since my last blog! Although I've been working out for a bit, straight power walking...with arm motion has always eluded me. My arms got tired. HOWEVER, this weekend I decided to take it to the park with my current favorite podcast [2 Fit Chicks and a Microphone]. Before I realized it, I had done 20 minutes straight of power walking...and my arms were not sore/tired.

Got 10 Minutes...You Can Get Organized!  1. Desktop: Use the time to put pens & pencils back in the holder, put away stray paperclips and rubber bands, sort through the piles of paper. Create three file folders: To File, To Read, Take Action; sort papers appropriately into these 3 folders. Obviously, throw out any that are outdated or no longer needed. 2. Junk Drawer: We all have one. Throw

Five Steps to Get Organized  Thanks to Debt Proof Living! I won't try to kid you into thinking I'm some kind of organizational expert. I am the most disorganized person ever. My professional office is a mess. My home, remarkably, appears to be orderly as long as you don't open a cupboard, drawer or closet. Being disorganized steals my time, energy and money. I buy things I have already because

Well it has come to my attention that in all my working out and healthier lifestyle, I've begun to neglect my 'feminine side' a bit. I'm now committing myself to the following small changes for the entire month of February. I WILL wear lipstick whenever I leave the house. I WILL braid my hair for a wavy twist out style once a week [unless I've been to the salon that week] I WILL visit the hair

Why is it that folks that are supposed to be close to you can see what you are not providing them... yet when you bring up positives, that's overlooked? Why is it that they can't see what they themselves are NOT doing....even when brought to their attention? Ah the joys of being human.

Ok. I'm a procrastinator. But at least I admit it.I have projects and projects that I need to start. They are steady piling up. Nothing life or lifestyle threatening...but I need to deal with them BEFORE they get to that point.These projects run the gamut from household chores, items to purchase for the house, personal shopping, computer chores, car issues to deal with etc. You get the ideaBut I

Yippee!!Sweet potatoes are considered vegetables. And so are beans. With my workout schedule, I'm going to need the complex carbs.I was wrong on my starting date. I want my veggies, fruits and nuts day to be on Fridays. So I will begin on 3.28.08.Strangely, I am actually looking forward to this. I actually considered doing it for 2 days..but let's not be hasty...I'll see how the first time goes!

In the interest of my health & to mix things up nutritionally, once a week, I will be doing to do a fruit and veggies only day.This will not be an easy task for me at all! I will have to say goodbye to my daily bowl of oatmeal, my high fiber bread, yogurt & cheese. YIKES!And unless I find out that sweet potato is a veggie...I'll have to give that up too.

Another year is winding down.2007 is almost gone. Did I accomplish all I wanted? Did you? Is the year ending up as you thought it would?The leader of the band has died (RIP Dan Fogelberg) and the night is growing old.Yes the night is growing old. When you wake up, will you like what you see?

I haven't felt Christmassy since I left NY for the sunny & warm state of Florida.HOWEVER....I'm definitely feeling it this year. I'm heading to Canada for the holiday...and its snowing...yippee!! Now if they could just hold it until Christmas Day.I'm looking forward to playing in the snow, making a gingerbread house with my cousin...not to mention those liquid libations by the fireplace!I guess

I may be getting a tad bit ansy in my exercise routine. I did spinning classes for a year. Got hooked on them thanks to my cousin [the dear that she is!!]I then started with the treadmill...started running. Took 8 week tennis lessons several times. I loved "playing tennis". Or was it just getting my aggression out on the court [hmmm]? LOLThe elliptical was and still is my modus operandi along

I recently ran a 5K and when informed, my brother asked me had my car broken down!??!Now mind you, in my previous life, I would be the one to say that I'd never run unless being chased by a dog.I find it hard to walk on the treadmill...have to fight the tendency to break into a jog. Am I developing into some sort of an athlete [albeit late in life...]? Wow...what are the ramifications of that

Its been quite a while since I've "blogged" and my inspiration is coming from an unlikely source:http://www.christinemills.net/blogOne day I will tell my cousin how impressed with her and just in awe of her life I am!Big changes have occurred in my life since my last post. 65 lbs gone.

I've been working out...and watching what I eat and have steadily gotten smaller.Yipee!! It actually works! LOLNow that there's Less of me [45 lbs to be exact]...I find I have MORE to give.I definitely have more energy & confidence. Don't even get me started on my energy level either!

Sure...I know why I should exercise and lose weight.I look better...feel better...and my clothes fit better...plus I have a better selection!But I still need a short term motivation...LOL Just like a kid.Sooooo I set a goal for 5lbs....then I'll get a manicure/pedicure. Hmm...not as easy as one would think...life has a tendency to intervene! LOLFirst week I lost 2.5lbs...yeah...1/2 way there!!

Don't know what has come over me, but I have developed a need to be physically active. Now this is a good thing...helps with weight loss and gives you more energy....a win win situation! And since I love to eat, this is sooo necessary! :)Hmmm....what are my options along with likes & dislikes?I started walking last year..what a wonderful thing to 'discover'. Can't believe that it was there all

Its amazing how hearing something so simple can change your outlook! Dr. Laura had a caller that asked 'how can you stop yourself from going or pining after someone that has made it clear that they don't want you'?She asked the caller if they thought they were too fat, ugly or just too dumb.The caller said 'no'. Then Dr. Laura proceeded to tell her then there is someone else out there for her.

Friends with benefits? Damn I hate that term...at least when it relates to me!What's up with guys that claim to 'be into you' ...then you don't hear from them? They want the benefits of a relationship...but without the actual relationship.Well I've put it out there in the atmosphere...and to a guy that is 'into me' ,that casual, friendship with benefits is soooo NOT what I'm into.My reasons for

On Monday October 24, 2006 South Florida was hit by a hurricane. Hurricane Wilma hit with all the force of her fictional son-in law Bam Bam.To the residents of South Florida, hurricane preparedness is "old hat". Or is it?As usual, we were warned by the local metereologists to be prepared with the basics of at least 3 days of water, batteries, nonperishable food and of course a manual can

I recently went into a Walgreens to get cash back [i refuse to pay atm fees!] LOLAnyway...I make my purchase..I ask the cashier what the maiximum is that I can get back. She says $100. Cool...I only need $50.I glanced at the money...[ok...i was in a hurry!] and it seemed right. 5 bills. OkI get back to the car....and realized that the 5 bills were $20...as in $100.BRIEFLY it crossed my mind...

I'm 36 and am now motivated to lose weight....and I'm doing it.What's so amazing? First off, I'm very motivated...and failure is not an option...plus the fact that I can actually see the difference in the mirror!! Second....why has it taken me so long to do what Nike has been saying for sooo long? "Just do It!"For once my 'packratitist' has been beneficial! Like most folks with weight issues, we

Its so amazing when folks share their perceptions of you.I have a male friend from college that dated my roommate. He just knew I was 'hot to trot' since I always had a different guy to go out with when he came to town.In trying to 'defend' myself to him, I explained that I didn't want to be a 3rd wheel when he and my friend invited me places. Heck...I'd stay home first! LOLHe sorta gets it now..

I know most folks are quite possibly tired of hearing about this intrusive presence. Its on the news....Heck..its been the news! I know that I've often said 'Thank God for Cable'.Then I noticed, I wasn't watching cable!! LOL I tuned into the local news like it was my lifeline. And indeed it was.My local ABC news station became my constant companion...Don Noe 'Noes' weather! LOLI lost power....

You know, I recently received some news that had it come @ a different time, I would have been ecstatic.A friend of mine from college confessed that he had seriously cared for me....however we were both dating others so had not pursued the issue. We had sporadic conversations over the years...and he even came to visit me about 7 years after our last meeting.Fast forward to the past few months.

Most folks have favorite days of the year. Some love Christmas or Thanksgiving. Some love their birthday or just a day off from work.HOWEVER...mine is today. August 14th.Ah.....August 14th. The day of my emancipation. That day was marked on my calendar during my senior year in highschool.This day means sooo much to me.It was the day I looked forward to seeing. I left my parents home for college.

I just went out with a very nice guy. Only problem is that he agreed with me on everything. A friend insists that that behavior is better than arguing over everything.Can't I have a relationship where one can disagree and not argue about everything?I guess I didn't realize that I had to choose.... or do I?

I'm a dreadlocked female. When folks learn that about me...they have sooo many different perceptions.Can no one understand that its not a 'spiritual' thing for me... but 'just' a hairstyle? I'm not looking for nor indulging in an alternative lifestye. Its 'just' a hairstyle.Jamaicans or other islanders look on in 'dismay' depending on their beliefs.In dismay, because they figure I'm 'indulging'

Well I did it. I got my teeth whitened today! And while it cost me a pretty penny or 2....I sooo do not regret it! I did the zoom system and saw instant results.Apart from some sensitivity which should go away in a few days...all is well.

I think I've finally managed to figure out how to change templates...keep my links etc etc. LOL Hmph...you'd think a "techie" like myself could have done it faster! LMAO. Heck..my VCR STILL flashes 12:00. I guess I only bother to learn the things that I want to. A little rebellion perhaps?Cest la vie!! LOLI did not leave the house today. Why not? Cause I didn't want to. I took a nap..why? Cause

Well after much trepidation, I arrived @ my Weight Watchers weigh in. It wasn't as bad as I thought...I lost a 1/2 lb. It could have sooo much worse..especially after last weekend!I would truthfully have been happy staying the same..but losing is always better. LOLThe meeting was full...didn't like that at all. Call me selfish..but I lke the small intimate setting that a smaller group provides.

Who doesn't struggle with this? LOLHowever...I think I've figured out a solution...eat less...move more! WOW!! what a concept!Sounds simple...but its tough as hell to do. And that is why I joined weight watchers a few weeks ago...and what do you know....lb by pound...its slowly coming off! Yeah...its slow....but hey..Rome wasn't built in a day!So far...I'm down 8 lbs and my blood pressure has

I've decided to invest more in my future...no social security to depend on at all!However....where does one begin? Sooo many books and programs out there.Carlton Sheets, Robert Kyosaki [Rich Dad Poor Dad]...etc etc.I've already gone to the library and gotten Kyosaki's CDs there...not necessarily a real estate set per ce...but it does insist on the necessity of 'having one's own'. Sorta puts me in

Well today was the last day of school for the teachers.....To say I'm glad is an understatement! LOLAlthough I'll be working still, it'll be sooo much better. I'll be setting my own hours...and the teachers won't be around and the faculty will be at a bare minimum. Bottom line....more work that I'll be able to get done!I have several projects to do this summer plus facilitating some 1/2 day
