Gridlock'd

Bonjour!

Soooo I was on my way in to work the other day and as someone who hates I mean hates traffic sooo much that whenever I make it to my God given destiny I'm definitely getting a driver but back to the story- I'm on my way in and traffic is backed up and moving sooooo slow and guess what? It had nothing to do with my side of the beltway it had everything to do with the other side- but people going South were being nosey and holding us up which made me realize people cause Gridlock and just like traffic in life we tend to let other irrelevant things or situations to take our attention, distracting us and we allow it to slow us down from getting to where were suppose to be or want to be.... Ok ready?! I can't do this post on the iPad my wrist is killing me .....to be continued

Ciao!

You Can Do It...(Arnold Schwarzenegger Voice)

Bonjour!

Happy Monday to All! Sooo I have great news...Guess who woke up at 6am this morning to get in a brisk walk, breakfast and semi-made it to work on time?! ME ME ME - O yea O yea. This is the start to something great. I woke up with a different attitude and it worked!! Adjustment to my attitude also helped me realize during my walk that sometimes there are just things you must let go. On Friday I found myself giving some advice that I should actually use myself instead of ignoring which is"stop trying to make things fit into your life"; It's like trying to put a size 9 foot into a size 7 shoe. Life should be as my favorite co-worker says all the time "organic". When things fit and are right you know it because it feels right. So today I'm going to let go of something that I'm pretty sure I've been trying to make "fit"- I'll let you know how it goes, lol...... In the mean and between time ask yourself are you wearing the right size shoe?

O yea NEW PRODUCT ALERT: So I've been trying the Body Shop Vitamin C facial cleanser, moisturizer and skin booster and I absolutely LOVE it- My skin seems to have this natural glow to it  in the mornings and my dark spots are actually starting to fade....Check it out!!

Ciao!

Up for Grabs!

Bonjour!!

I know I know it's been a minute since you've heard from the kid...quite a bit has happened especially emotionally but all is well or at least I will make it that way!

The last 2-3 weeks have been pretty eye-opening and ironically motivating to me while dealing with family issues, death, financial woes, being called lazy lol, etc but I was watching a movie the other day and in a very gayish girly way I wrote down the quote the actress used " We are one small adjustment from making our lives work" and the crazy thing is: THIS IS SOOO TRUE! Think about it if you could adjust one small thing in your life everything has the potential to fall right in place. For me it's my attitude if I could just adjust my attitude and how I let people and things affect me I could be on the path to greatness. I started this morning by telling myself: "The world is up for grabs, and I just have to take it". So that's the attitude I plan on having in hopes that this is my adjustment and great things happen.

Someone was brutally honest with me last week and called me lazy and although I may have seemed cool when it was said it PISSED me off because at no point would I ever call my self lazy I bust ass everyday! It bothered me for a couple of days and then I realized it -I am lazy not lazy in my actions but lazy in my thoughts and processes. I bust ass for everybody else but not for myself so another adjustment with my attitude is the thought process of busting ass for me just as I do for everybody else and let's see what happens, see it's all about the attitude (which we know I have-lol).  

To start this new adjustment to my life I made Goal Sheets last night- each individual sheet states a goal at the top and then tasks that will need to be completed over time to get to the final goal - kinda like a road map. This way I hold myself accountable for what needs to be done and I can see where I fell off and what I can do better- HA now call that Lazy lol---- It's amazing how much motivation one can have when they want to prove someone wrong but I guess at the end of the day if their goal is to light a fire under you because they care and want to see you succeed then keep them coming; I'll be lazy all day lol.

So my QuarterLife Phenoms is there an adjustment you can make? and how will you kick your "lazy" in the ass?!
