Making my way back!

Dearest Clarity,
It's crazy how we can loose ourselves in reality. The stresses and responsibilities of everyday life. The exhaustion and pressure. It can all really take a toll on who we are and become. I am so thankful that I was reminded by someone I love dearly, of who I am. The other day I was reminded of the things I love, what nurtures me, drives me and makes me who I am. I let the reality of my life take over and bury me, my spirit and my path. 

If you read this and can relate, I hope you will make an effort as I am to find yourself again. Life isn't worth living if you can't do it being you. Take one day,morning, afternoon or even couple of hours a week to do something for yourself. If you follow your true self, listen to your gut, and do what you love and believe in, everything else will fall into place. Make your way back, your worth it!

I NEED TO DO ME!

Dearest Clarity
It's amazing how life can just pass you by, especially when you have your children to take care of, and so many other responsibilities. This is one of the first nights in sooooooo long that I have just sat here in silence. My daughter is a sleep, my dishes are done, laundry folded, house tidied and I feel weird. I haven't just sat and been still, and felt in so long. I'm realizing how much I ignore myself. I'm sitting here feeling numb! I'm sad and disappointed in how much I've neglected myself. How I feel, what I want, who I am. Sitting here right now, I've realized I need to do me! It's so easy to ignore ourselves when we are taking care of our children but its so important to take care of us, cause if we aren't in a good place then they wont be either.

WAKA WAKA!

Dearest Clarity,
When we were in Italy all the kids there were always singing this years world cup anthem, Shakira's Waka Waka ( This time for Africa) It was sooooo cute, and my daughter loved it. She would get right in there with them a do the dance and sing along. As soon as I heard the song, I loved it too. I even got right in there with all the kids! lol! (It was pretty funny!) Now that we are home, we have passed on the song and dance to the two little girls I take care of, and of course they love it too. My daughter and I looooove to put it on and jump around and dance. There is something so magical and freeing about the song and video. It's uplifting, cultured, beautiful and positive. I think it's a great feel good song to let out some energy with your kids, and it's a great work out! I encourage you to try it out, you'll be surprised how much fun it is!

Sade - Babyfather

Love this song, love this video, love Sade! If you don't have her new album Soldier of Love, you should get it.

Enjoy!

A Book For My LADIES!

Dearest Clarity,

I was given this book about a year ago, and it really made me look at myself and understand why my relationships have turned out the way they have, and why I have attracted all the wrong guys. I recently gave it to a friend to read and she read it within a few days. She was messaging me a few times a day FREAKING out because she couldn't believe how much she could relate. I'm so happy I passed it on to her, and that it has helped her like it did me. It will bring up a lot and can be a bit emotional and draining but in the end you will feel so happy you read it. It will help give you clarity and inspire you to change your love habits for the better. So if you find you always meet the wrong guys, have relationships full of drama and unhealthy emotions and feelings, this book is for you! I encourage all you ladies out there to give it a try, I guarantee you will get something out of it. All the books I've read that have changed my life I call my Bible's, and this is one of them! I'm thankful it was given to me and I hope it gives to you like it did to me. Happy Reading!

My date with The Buddha

Dearest Clarity

So last Saturday I put my daughter to bed, got into my comfy clothes and put in a movie. As I was watching the movie I started thinking, I wish I had someone here with me to share a glass of wine with, someone I could light some candles for and cuddle and enjoy the evening with. I felt depressed and lonely. I shed a few tears and just kept dwelling on how many nights I've spent on my own, wondering when it was gonna end and if I would ever meet anyone again, you know the usual sob story. Then all of a sudden this book I have of sayings of the Buddha, fell off the couch beside me. I picked it up and the page I opened it to said, "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment".

So I grabbed a glass of wine from the bottle I was saving to share with another, I lit the candles I was waiting to light for another and I had a wonderful night with myself. I concentrated on the present moment and made the best of it. I realized I can't change the past and I can't predict the future, so why not enjoy the moment. I deserve it and I enjoyed it and in a way it made me feel a sense of power. If I can be happy and comfortable and feel this good with myself, it will feel even better when I do have that person beside me because I wont NEED him there, I will just WANT him there and that I love.

Cheers!
