The one lie I’d like to get rid of

…ut me? How can I get rid of you for good? Source: thisbeadifulworld.tumblr.com via Alexandres on Pinterest I’ve followed the hype and been fooled by the promises. Still, it continues to linger and lie to the world about me. “You look tired. Are you not sleeping well?” Sometimes this is true, but rarely. “No I have always had dark circles. It’s my mother’s genes.” My dark circles, or bags, lie constantly about me. They say I’m tired, old and haggar…

It’s time to get over the fear of aging

…ith it. I know we love our youthful appearances and vitality. It’s the greatest thing about living, but just because the wrinkles appear doesn’t mean our youth is lost. If you spend all your days worrying about the loss of elasticity then how can you fully appreciate the joy of life? Sure I scrutinize the lines on my face. The intake of my breath is sharp as I wonder how I got old so fast. But then I stop to think about it. It didn’t happen so fas…

It’s easy to sit in your zone of comfort and talk about the failures of others, those who dared to take a risk, but does this mean that because you didn’t lose or fail you won? Or that you are fulfilled and happy? Does not making mistakes mean you have perfected your life? Does not making mistakes, because of complacency, mean that you have the right to gossip about others? A friend recently went through a…

Making Changes – The Cycle of Life

…You see I was raised in a single parent household, and whilst it’s all too common now it wasn’t so much then. For me, I felt like a bit of an outcast, and the consequences were both emotional and financial. We always had a beaten down car, rented a home, and participating in extras like school excursions was only made possible with the support of the school = equal embarrassment for said child. When I think about how my mum ended up in this positi…

Your Life is a Gift

…ircut and discovered a mole that was noticeably black. The doctor ran some tests on it with concerns it could be something none of us ever want to have. The waiting was obviously excruciating. Sitting around waiting to hear if your life was close to being over, or that you have been just gifted a new lease. “We got to it just in time. Another six months and it would have been too late.” A simple haircut saved his life. Who would have ever thought?…

Dreaming of Orbs

…live from a higher place. Others believe it is the energy of those passed communicating with us. I have been working so much lately on improving my state of mind and to tap into the magic that I AM and as everyone else is. Surrounded by Orbs Source: shadyrady.tumblr.com via amanda on Pinterest I felt as if the Universe was sending me a message in my dreams to rid my mind of that nasty self-doubt. This stuff is real. Magic does exist and it really…
