Smile because life is a Gift…

You should always be your unique and authentic self.  “The authentic self is the you that can be found at your absolute core. It is the part of you not defined by your job, function or role. It is the composite of all your skills, talents and wisdom. It is all of the things that are uniquely yours and need expression, rather than what you believe you are supposed to be and do. ”  ~…

Are you the kind of gal who thinks she only feels truly comfortable in the company of men? Do you feel that other women are catty, mean spirited, competitive or air-headed even, and that you have nothing in common with any of them? Whether you have feelings of apathy, disdain or you truly despise other women, hating your fellow gender is simply no good––it’ll cut off many opportunities for good, understanding friendships and for healthy…

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right and forget the ones that don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a change, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. –Anonymous

Fear can paralyze your life and prevent you from following your dreams. It’s all in your mind; – stop thinking  about the hurdles and just jump over them.

Knowing yourself means understanding who you are as a person and accepting the truth of what you discover. It means knowing what you’re good at and what needs improving, knowing what you’re passionate about and what scares you, knowing your goals and dreams, knowing your habits and behaviors, your likes and dislikes, being aware of your physical being, accessing your health, well being and your relationships.  Everyone has a purpose in life and and knowing what…

As you leave home today remember to hold your head up high and look the world straight in the eye!  Let your unique self and confidence shine through.  

Let go of ‘old emotional baggage’ and be free to Live up to your full potential.

 Character contributes to beauty.  It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful……Jacqueline Bisset

Growing up in Guyana I was very very skinny and I desperately wanted to gain weight. But try as I may, nothing seemed to work. I wanted to be like other women who were referred to as being “thick” or having “a little meat on my bones.”  But it just wasn’t in my DNA, I guess. I even wanted to try pills to gain weight. How delusional of me! Fortunately for me none of my…

As women we should be allies to each other and not compete and be hateful. The world is filled with beautiful, amazing, intelligent women who absolutely hate other women for no specific reason. It ultimately boils down to self-esteem; when you feel bad about yourself, you view other women as threats. Try encouraging another woman along the way today!

Remember to always stay true to yourself because there are only a few people who will always be true to you!

The courage and passion that singer, Lisa Punch, showed during her appearance on the “Rising Star” TV Show inspired me to share this quote.  In just 6-months of living in a foreign country, she fearlessly took to the international stage and showed her fans and the world that nothing is impossible. Always remember that “If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone…

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melody Beattie, Quoted in “Simple Abundance”, by Sarah Ban Breathnach

You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. 1 Peter 3:4 Look in the mirror and start loving yourself, then your inner beauty will grow and radiate to your outer self.
