"Show me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are" Anonymous I am a believer in the Law Of Attraction. I believe that you can, knowingly or unknowingly, attract people or situations into your life. I also believe that old adage: Birds of a feather flock together. So often we ignore this. We don't want to rock the boat and stop hanging with people that we know it isn't in our best interest to kick it with. We don't want to exit from a situation that is toxic because everything else is going so great! We will create excuses or just pass the buck all the way around just so we won't have to confront and be emotionally mature. Are you here? Do you find yourself doing this? Creating excuses for people and their bad behavior(s)?Hanging out with people that you do love, and there isn't anything wrong with loving them, but not really having a good time when you are with them? Wasting time and energy on situations that you know nothing fruitful can gr...

The greatest love of all is the love you feel for yourself. How many times have we all heard this? There have even been songs written. But how many feel it? My Mama used to say: "If you can't love yourself, you won't and can't love anyone else." It took me some years and mistakes to figure out that that Lady was right(I'm still mad about that!)  I am not discussing the vapid love of self; that outer self. This is the love of all of You. Those bad moods, weird, random thoughts that crack you up, those big hips that "Beauty" magazines tell you aren't right and that nose! Do you love it all? Are you comfortable just sitting and being with yourself? With no criticism? Love is: Waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror and loving all that you see; bags and all. Love is: Knowing when you have made mistakes, owning them , so that you can move on. Love is: Asking those that you have hurt for forgiveness, so that you can forgive yoursel...

It has been a long time since I have gotten into an argument. And I hadn't planned on getting into one, but there I was, defending myself.  It was all over me not agreeing with something this person said and they stated that I am judging them. Well, first let me say, to a certain extent we all judge.  Yes, we do. One of the definitions for the word judge:   to form an opinion about (something or someone) after careful thought . Don't we all form opinions? Is it safe to say with careful consideration? I haven't been  prone to make "snap" judgement's, or I don't believe I do.  It seems to me that you can't disagree with folks without them calling you judgmental. Do they realize that they are using this word out of context? Or are they? The second definition to judge:  : to regard (someone) as either good or bad. Is this a bad thing? Or is this just common sense? Some things ARE bad and some things ARE good. To call something out as one or the other does...
