A COLD Happy Friday!!

Good morning!! We are expecting record cold here in Oregon today, and possibly tomorrow – so I am bundling up to head to work this morning!!! As I was laying in bed, trying to coax myself out of it’s deliciously warm blankets, I started thinking 

Life Changing!

Life Changing!

Good evening! I have been giving a lot of thought to the idea of changing my life. What decisions/actions/changes could literally change my life in such a way that it pivots my life’s axis and lead me on the path of my DREAM future. You

A Night of Empowerment!!

A Night of Empowerment!!

Good evening!

You know what? This may TOTALLY JUST BE MY RAGING HORMONES SPEAKING, but…

I usually take a lot of crap in my daily life and normally that is ok with me! There are a lot of perks to the life that I have created for myself, but tonight I have just HAD IT!!!

I AM SO SICK OF PEOPLE TAKING PIECES OF MY POWER!!
MY JOY!!! MY BLISS!!!

Tonight, even if it is for just one night only – I am TAKING MY POWER BACK!!! I will let all of you who need some of it borrow it tomorrow, but tonight IT IS MINE!!!

I am not your mother,
your slave,
your lackey,
your sugar momma,
your door mat,
your alarm clock,
your personal secretary,
your gofer-girl,
your Prozac, I’m not!
So get your crap together
and get outta my way honey!!
Because tonight, I am SOOOOOO TAKING THE NIGHT OFF!!!
I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR!!!!

WHEW!! Ok, thanks, I just REALLY had to get that out of my system!!! but I feel much better now!!! Sorry, I know that that rant may have seemed to come out of left field, but I have been letting my power be spread a little too thin amongst my circle, and it is leaving me unhappy, and angry – but REALLY??? It is my own fault, I am the one who lets my power be “loaned” out, and I haven’t been doing too much to make sure that it comes back to me! I am going to have to seriously work on that!!!

So all of you out there, you know who you are – I love you, but tonight I am taking care of MYSELF!!! Trust me, tomorrow I am sure you will thank me for it!!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening! 🙂

Getting Out of the Doldrums!

Getting Out of the Doldrums!

Good evening!

You may not know this, but my life has gotten to be in a little bit of a rut! Doing the same thing every day, day in and day out! Get up, go to work, come home, eat, watch tv, go to bed, get up, go to work…well, I think you can see what I am talking about!

I have just this moment made the decision to look into taking a dance class!! Matter of fact……………………….

I just made a call to one of the local dance studios, and I am making arrangements to get into the beginning belly dancing class that starts at the beginning of March. It is an 11 week class, and it is going to cost me about $9 per class!!! YEAH!!! Now, the hard part will be going – but HONEY, I have got to do something crazy to build my courage muscles and get out there and be brave enough to be me!!!

Wow!! Now, that I have had a chance to think about what I have just done, I am going to have to REALLY get my bravery muscles out!!! I know it will be a BLAST!!! I love the idea of idea of feeling comfortable in my own skin, and learning how to move and undulate with grace and confidence. Plus the idea, that I will be doing something outrageous for just myself is rather exciting!!! Plus to be able to say that I did something scary, is motivating and I know that if I can do this, I can do ANYTHING!!! PLUS – I think that this will be a fun way to get exercise and get in a little better shape!! I can’t wait until classes start!!! 😉

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉

A Late Posting!

A Late Posting!

Good afternoon! I know this is sooo untypically me, getting to my blog so late in the day!! I really do try and get at least SOMETHING written before I head out the door in the morning. Unfortunately this morning, I just couldn’t seem to
