Only You Can Make The New Year A Happy One

Published by

On this New Year’s Eve, I could sit here and tell you all about the sad realities I endured and how it could have destroyed me if I let it, but instead I want to share with all of you that the most important thing to remember while welcoming in the new year is that, it is all up to you  to shape 2018 to be the best that it can be for you.  No matter how difficult or challenging 2017 was to most of us, learn from it and move forward  and… Remember to smile Surround yourself with positive people Change your thinking from negative to positive See the good in everything meditate no matter the style Stop being a victim and own up to your wrong doing and move on Be kind and help others Remember no one is perfect and we are all in this together Respect yourself Listen clearly before you speak Take care of our planet Happy New Year everyone !!! {photo source}

What All The Quiet Is About…

On this 22nd day of December, I woke up particularly early, barely passed midnight, from all the thinking I’ve been doing throughout the week, and apparently well into the night, last night. My subconscious forcing me to open my eyes and continue to ponder over ways to improve, at the very least, the quality of my life, and make changes in 2018 that will get me on the right track. That’s what all the silence on this blog has been about, me thinking, past the gift giving, the clothes, the decor, and all things travel and focus on what is important – family, love, faith and good old-fashioned approach to happiness.  And I wish you all the same. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays:
