No...

I really need to jump on the just say no bandwagon when people ask for help. I can't help but to help them. Blame it on my inner desire to be accepted by all, to please others, or have them like me. I just can't figure out how to mutter that two letter word! NO. Is there rehab for this?

Serenity now...

It's time for peace of mind, peace of heart, and peace of soul. Too much work on others and for others has helped achieve great things. What have I achieved for myself? Is it serenity now or selfishness now?
If I seek achievements for myself there will be achievements for others as well. The achievements of others has not necessarily been an achievement for me. Time to refocus... On me!
Truly, for my wellness will assist to produce wellness in others.

Think globally, act locally.

Miss, you need to hurry up...

So today after testing one of my old students hung around and helped pack up the testing room. So what was the topic of conversation? "Miss, you're already 29 you're not young anymore. You need to hurry up and have babies!" My response, "I'm still looking for a good man and I have plenty of time." Her response, " no miss you're already 29!" OUCH!!! So, next on the list of firsts...find a husband and get pregnant. Oh and as she left the room she told me I need to make it happen this week. No pressure!

Time is of the essence

Just wish I could use it more appropriately!

New blooms, new life, new beginnings...

Well, Spring is upon us and with that brings new blooms, new life, and new beginnings, a little something that hopefully this year is all about. To go along with that theme are new experiences. One of my big goals for this year of great change is to try new things. Sound like a plan? Join me in the quest to try new things this year and make changes at this time in my life. Check out the "Firsts..." post to see some of the new things I've done, tried, experienced. Some firsts may be rather mundane, others are big steps that will change my life in one way or another. Feel free to share your firsts with us!
