ARE YOU READY TO DO THIS...

OK OK.... This is something completely different. This is about YOU!!. yep you read right. This is to help you accomplish something you really want to but feel you are not good enough or fear of not having what it takes. So what do you want to accomplish?
- A new job/career path
- more self confidence in yourself.
- Be your own boss and start a business.
- Impact the lives of others in an inspiring way
These are just a few....
 Let me tell you my friend if you have the passion for achieving something.....you have exactly what it takes. Now go back and read that sentence again. OK..ARE YOU READY TO DO THIS ?

Are you like I was? Always having excuses why you shouldn't do this or can someone like me really do something like this? Sound familiar? Well I want to show you how to overcome this when these negative thoughts come into your mindset. What really has helped me get passed this and keep striving for success. Because we can't be successful unless we challenge ourselves. We need to walk towards our challenge to accomplish it. Heck I'm not saying it's easy but I know you can do it.

Now I'm going to take a wild guess but as women we all want success. Am I right?. Well I was so afraid of success, it dang near terrified me!! All the negative thoughts that would swirl around in my head. I'm going to share with you an exercise that I do to help boost my mindset into the positive direction. When I have negative thoughts that I can't accomplish something I write it down. Then .....I counteract that with writing down a reason why I CAN AND WILL achieve that. The positive thoughts and feelings that take over is JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED. If you believe what you have written and just GO FOR IT you will start to accomplish what you truly desire. The key to this is BELIEVE IN YOU. And if you keep practicing this exercise YOU WILL! 

If you keep doing this as part of a daily practice of self belief the magic will start to unfold. I'll let you in on another key practice. SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE. You have something to teach the world!! When you do, you are truly making such an impact in this world my friend. Don't be afraid to share. There are people who need what you have to offer. Knowledge is learning and education the key factors that make us a stronger force in helping others make an impact the world we live in. Don't hide you valuable experiences, they are part of who you are and want to become.

So now I want you to go and start putting these simple practices to work. I would love to hear how you go, comment on the blog if your excited to accomplish something amazing! It's time to let you shine and make your long lasting mark in this world. ARE YOU READY!

MEMORY FROM MY CHILDHOOD..

MEMORY FROM MY CHILDHOOD..... This is something I have never really written about but I would love to share as these memories are so very dear to me and I have been thinking a lot about about. Growing up I spent a lot of time with someone that was always a guiding light and great love in my life. My Nona... Is their someone special like that in your life?

This is the hardest blog I've had to write as I had no idea where to start. There are sooo many beautiful memories I have with my Nona. She was my world. Growing up I spent a lot of time at Nona's. Weekends I would pack a bag and go to stay for the weekend. School Holidays I would spend there and I loved going to church every Sunday, and Christmas Eve Mass was so beautiful, she loved listening to me sing all the Beautiful Carols. I can still see the smile on her face.

My Nona was always a very early riser. The kitchen light would be on before 5am most times. And when I was there I would do the same. We would get up and have our coffee and talk, i loved this. And winter time we would have a splash of Brandy instead o f Milk to warm us up!! These were very special times that I think about every day. Nona had a nick name for me kiki. And I would always sign Birthday, Christmas and Mother's day cards Love kiki. This always made her laugh. And I did this always. I still have all the cards she gave me which started with To My kiki!! I just These are special memories I will cherish this memory from my childhood forever.

Now this will bring a smile and a laugh to your face. It still does to me!!. My Nona and I were Soap fan of Days Of Our Lives, Young And The restless and Bold And the Beautiful. So on holidays at Nona's with my sister and my cousins, they would be out riding bikes and playing, where was I ? Upstairs watching all the soaps with Nona. I WAS A DIE HARD FAN!! AND STILL AM TO THIS DAY. Do you like the soaps?

One very special thing I will remember is my Nona's cooking!! OH MY GOSH!! The aromas that came from her kitchen were mesmerizing!!. Spaghetti, beautiful soups and of course Gnocchi and Polenta at Christmas time. She would spend hours preparing the most beautiful foods for Christmas lunch and Dinner. And of course we would absolutely stuff ourselves until we could hardly move....

So these are very precious memories to me and will always remain that way. She taught me so much about courage and inner strength. I would not have gotten through my life so far without this. Would you like to share about that someone special in your life? comment below I would love to hear from you. Thank you for letting me share mine...
