Being Selfish

I have to admit that I have been super selfish lately.  I am in survival mode and because of that I feel that I have been neglecting a few things.  I have not worked out in forever and I am not eating all that well either, and to go one further I have been drinking more than I care to admit.  On top of that I have not been a good friend, which is super hard for me to admit.  I hate thinking that I was always there for my gals and I have been MIA for the last two months, with the exception of checking in just to make sure that there is nothing life changing going on with anyone else.  But even that I have been bad at.  One of my besties is preggers and I have not seen her in more than a month, which is super long for us.  And to top that, I am her sons Godmother and I have not seen him in months.  I can say, I am not being a good friend.  And my cousin's aunt on her mom's side passed away today from cancer, and I have not been there for her either. 

I just feel guilty and there is no way to get around that.  I feel like every little thing sends me into a tail spin and one email or text will ruin my day and thus take me out of life once again.  And I cannot continue like this.  So I am pledging today to refocus on the things that matter and the people in my life that have been there for me, like I need to be there for them!

You heard it here first, so I expect you to hold me to it! 

I am here.  For you!

What I Learned From Oprah

And what I continue to learn from Oprah...

I love Oprah!  I am certain that so many people in this world can say this, but I have to say that the last month leading up to her final episode has made me really get it.  I love Oprah.  She is a healer, a listener, a woman, an inspirer, a giver and above all else a teacher.  Oprah has given back in so many ways, but the most amazing thing that she gave to me was understanding.  There is little in this world to make you have faith in people or humanity, but seeing how Oprah has helped so many and given so much, makes me know that there is still good in this world.  And there will continue to be good...

These are words from Oprah that resonate with me and will for as long as I live:

You are not alone.  You have the power to change your own life.

Be more of yourself. 

Everyday that I stood here, I knew that this was exactly where I was supposed to be.  Doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing.  (This one was HUGE for me.  I don't know that I know that I am where I am supposed to be, but I am determined to figure it out)

Each one of you has your own platform.  Mine is a stage and a studio and yours is where you are.  And that is where your power lies.  Everybody has a calling.  The power is the same.  You carry whatever it is that you are supposed to be doing, you carry that forward.  And don't waste anymore time.  Start embracing the life that is calling you and use your life to serve the world.

I see you, I hear you, and what you say matters to me.

Be still and know it.  God is Love.  God is Life.  And your life is always speaking to you.  First in whispers.  And if you don't pay attention to the whispers, it will get louder... What is whispering to you, is your life.  Your life is speaking to you, but will you hear it.

We often block our blessings because we do not feel that we are good enough.

What you have to say, matters to me.

Connect, embrace, liberate.  Love just one person, and spread that to two... See the difference that makes.

This show has taught that I am worthy because I am here. 

I AM ENOUGH!

And until we meet again...

Anger - An Emotion I Am Familiar With

Anger is an emotion related to one's psychological interpretation of having been offended, wronged or denied and a tendency to undo that by retaliation.

Anger has been described as a pressure cooker; we can only apply pressure against our anger for a certain amount of time until it explodes. Anger may have physical correlates such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline.  Anger can have many physical and mental consequences.
The external expression of anger can be found in facial expressions, body language, physiological responses, and at times in public acts of aggression. The behaviors associated with anger are designed to warn aggressors to stop their threatening behavior. Rarely does a physical altercation occur without the prior expression of anger by at least one of the participants.
Modern psychologists view anger as a primary, natural, and mature emotion experienced by virtually all humans at times, and as something that has functional value for survival.

Greatest Women I Know

I know that I have mentioned this before, but I love my mom and sister.  They are such wonderful and amazing women and I cannot imagine my life without either one of them.  Got home from London yesterday, super jet lagged, but still wanted to make sure that I was able to see them as soon as possible.  So we went to dinner at Mimi's (YUMMMM...) and then I made them sit through a thousand pictures from London.  I am sure that they could have done without seeing as many as they did, but they were good sports.  And we chatted and hung out, and then I had to leave.  Not easy to do at times...

All I know is that some people are REALLY missing out on the good times that we tend to have...

London Calling

Just got home from an amazing vacation in London... Did not have access to the blog, so I will be posting a delayed summary of all the fun we had.  Well once I get over this jet lag that is.

So glad to be home, missed my bed.  And my Moe!
