Just after midnight leaving the salon. After a few hours of girl chats and a fabulous do, I choose to take the main roads home rather than the highway. See, I love a late night drive – where there are few cars driving beneath the night sky. There is something about driving alone with your thoughts. Its a solitude that you learn to appreciate.

Today I woke up at 6:30 am and indulged into well needed meditation. See, the last few days have been a bit stressful – I have been getting over an illness and my motivation was not where it normally is. Not only did I meditate but I also recounted my affirmation over and over and over again just to build mind back to where it needs to be.
The way life is treating you, has a way of showing in your everyday glow. Just before turning 28 I made a vow to myself to do more, enjoy more and try my best to worry less. So basically, to live life that much more and just enjoy things while it lasts.
The very essence of life is to live in the moment, work towards your hearts desires, and feel gratified for being here. A few nights ago, my son and I were looking through a box of old photos – some of these photos were dated back since I was in high school while others were of his infant days. I remember seeing my son excitedly looking thru his baby photos – some showed him playing in tissue paper, others had his smiling face with his food plastered over his adorable face, while other photos showed loved ones holding him and enjoying his presence. As he looked through these images he said

The truth is, I have so much to be thankful for at this moment, and despite my bump in the road it was very necessary to pull up my big girl socks and deal with my S*&% like a big girl. Here are 10 points that helps to get me back into my fabulous mindset. I Hope this helps you as much as it helps me. Xo
1. Be honest with yourself and embrace your feelings.

I am going to make this entry super brief because I am super drowsy. Tonight I took David to see a movie called The Croods.
