"Waste Not Want Not"

People always confuse the more is more scenario, thinking that less could not possibly satisfy them, when they actually have everything that they need. Have you ever heard that person who complains about everything, even down to the very air that they must "unfortunately" breathe. That is just a sign of a person who will "never" be satisfied which is besides the point and another topic :).

Today I came out to my porch, looked up into the sky and thought of all the wonderful things that I have to be grateful for. Of course I have issues, everyone does!! Its factual that all bad or even good things can be worse. That being said.....Its important that we VALUE the present and every ounce of GOOD that exists in our lives or we could find ourselves forever trapped by the burdens of our own greediness.

Love lots Dee

Tough Love

Sometimes we think our children need to be coddled, nursed, or even protected when they don't . As parents we must understand that parenting is not all about keeping our children happy. So when we don't face issues head on that we have with our children, those same issues can grow into life challenges for them. Tough love...not abuse...lol, is very important and is a needed discipline that helps to correct behavior issues and allow our children to become independent people. So sugar coating and making excuses for why our children do things that they should not, facilitates the problem and helps it to persist longer. We don't have to do everything for our children!!! Let them develop their own strengths and weaknesses, not ones that we create by doing everything for them. Stop that cycle now, before its too late! And you have reached the level of stress that brings you to your knees.. !! Seriously, love lots p...

5 ways to getting the most out of life!

First, let me start by saying that I am not a licensed therapist or a doctor with a mental medical degree. I am an expert on my life and I would like to share with you all how I was able to get an understanding of self fulfillment and a life of happiness! 1. Realize that you can control your own happiness! If all that existed in the worl d as we know it should perish, what would save you, what would keep you thriving?! 2. Take advice as friendly suggestions, not an outline on how to live your life! When we have close friends and family we look to them for advice about many things. But there is nothing worse then screwing up all the time, because we cannot make our OWN decisions! 3. Choose your battles wisely! I have never seen a person who picked and picked and kicked and screamed, get anything but a pacifier and diaper change! A person who realizes their peac...

Letting Go

Ending a relationship that is not good for you sounds easy but can be difficult. There is one real thing that you have to do to finally walk away. Make up your mind PERIOD! Seriously sit down and in your mind ask your self these questions: Can I be my best self with this person? Is this relationship beneficial to them more than me? Are you happy to see yourself with this person in the future with out a doubt? When you come to terms with those things and just basically make a conscious decision to do what you need to do for you, everything else falls into place. A lot of people sabotage themselves by staying years in a bad relationship because they don't want to look like "the bad guy" or they don't want to be "uncomfortable". Maybe other aspects of the relationship work for them but they generally are miserable. Perhaps the spouse's family is really nice but the days at home are dreadful. When you drag this process on it results in a...
