Make A Difference Monday

While I am currently pondering how I can make a difference in the future, here is two very good tips to help ease stress. Trust me, life is stressful and that never changes. Utilizing these two strategies can make your life less stressful and that feels marvelous!

1-Laugh
Nothing eases tension than a good laugh. Comics, ecards, YouTube videos, anything that gets a chuckle or a smile. Perhaps I'm completely normal but I get a good laugh out of mythbusters bloopers when Adam or Tory hurt themselves. At least a little smile can make your day better.

2-Pet love
Do you have a cat or dog? Give them a lovefest and pet them. Run their belly and scratch their head. Obviously, they love the attention but maybe you don't know how easily the stress disappears. How can the day be bad when your kitty is purring and giving you a loving look? Trust me, a bad day can end on a good note from simply loving your pet.

I hope these simple tips will give you good days. Please stay tuned to travel Tuesdays. I'm recapping our Egyptian adventure.

Serious Sunday

Its a serious Sunday. I believe this blog to be an entertainment blog, especially with all the fun photos I post. I also have used this blog as a form of therapy and at times find that I still need assistance with stress relief. "Don't be afraid of failure"Have you heard that phrase or something similar? I most certainly have. My question to the universe is, how can I be afraid of failure in the midst of feeling like a failure?There I said it. I feel like a failure. I spent three years studying and working on an MBA in Finance. Once I graduated, I couldn't find a job with my degree but I already had one and knew that I would be moving within a couple of years. Then I moved. The best job I could obtain was a customer service/sales job. What was all that work for? Why do I have to pay a mortgage sized student loan payment with a baby paycheck? My boss keeps telling me that my paycheck can be better if I sell more. I'm not impressed, interested or motivated any longer. After securing this job, I continued the hunt; actively and aggressively looked for a new job. I was ignored by every company. I paid hundreds of dollars for a streamlined professionally written resume and found nothing but more sales jobs. I found a placement agency that is looking for work for me and has sent me on some interviews but still nothing has transpired. I can't do it on my own.I can't find a job with a placement agency.I need a miracle from God. If God can erase three of my sister's medical bills, couldn't he also erase student loans?Dear Lord, I know you have a plan. I know its your timing. I know that I am getting tired of the depressing view in my life. Please come. Please show me your miracles. Thank you and Amen. Dear Bloggy Friends,Please come back tomorrow, where I promise to be more positive for Make a Difference Monday. Thank you!

Thankful Thursday and "Pay it Forward"

  

Dear Chomps and Kirby,

I am so thankful for you. You help me stay happy and positive. Your sweetness melts my heart. 

Dear Kirby,

You are so sweet in your little trusting way. You love your head scratched and you love to preen while getting your head scratched. Your silliness makes me smile. You are very adorable and I'm so thankful that you have been a part of my life.

Dear Chomps,

You're so sweet, especially in the morning. I love it when you're tired. You look up at me with sleepy eyes and start to purr as I'm petting you. Your fur is so soft and I love to pet you.

The stress relief I receive from these two furballs is amazing. It has been work and at times frustrating to take care of the kitties but they take such good care of me. They deserve the world!

Please join me in Thankful Thursday and share what you are thankful for.

Revitalized Synergy

Dear bloggy friends, Thank you for your inspiring posts. I am feeling ready to blog again. I plan to link up with you on all sorts of interesting posts such as High Five for Friday and the Instagrid party. I love your stories and hopefully you will enjoy mine. I will be sharing more about myself, my life, and my photos. I am passionate about many things including music (I am in the Copa Reefers band!), art, nutrition, fitness, stress relief, and pets (I have two Bengal kitties.) My goals from this online adventure is to have fun, meet new bloggy friends, and learn from others. I hope to have 100 readers by the end of the year. Someday I would like to make some money from this venture but I'm not in a rush for that. ;) One final question: how has blogging enriched your life? END

Changes to come soon

Today’s rating is Positive.

I am going to switch gears on this blog and chronicle more about my life. My current stress relieving tip is to take time out to do something fun. Find your favorite activity and do it. Sometimes, I’ll go browsing for purses and other times I’ll go out for a bike ride. What activity do you find fun?

The job hunt is on pause until the move is complete. The move is a week from today and I am excited for all the changes in store for me. I am continuing to pray for wisdom since there will be many decisions to be made. Dear Lord, Thank you for your protection and wisdom that you provide to me. I need every bit of help! Amen.

Overwhelmed? Probably so...

Today’s rating is Positive.

My tip for stress relief is to find something green and keep it in your eye sight. Green is a calming color. This could be flowers, bamboo, or a picture of something natural and green.

I may get to move soon but there are a lot of details to figure out. There’s cats, property management, what to keep and what to get rid of. In the midst of all these overwhelming tasks, I am still waiting to hear about the job I interviewed for. I haven’t waited long at all though. I am praying for patience and for things to work out smoothly.

Right now, it is challenging to stay positive.
