Being Amazing at Being Amazing...

Today is a Great day!I want to start off by telling you how amazing you are! You’re probably saying to yourself “She doesn’t even know me” and you’re right, I may or may not know you, but everyone has something amazing about them. I see it all the time when I meet someone. Maybe it’s my positive outlook on life or maybe it’s because I choose to see the good in people. We tend to want to see the negativity in someone rather that finding the good. When we start to find something amazing in our self then it becomes easier to find something amazing in another person. You’re amazing at your job, you’re an amazing husband, wife, friend, parent, teacher or amazing at being amazing! How do you feel amazing? Here’s a couple that worked for me:

1. Forgiveness - That’s right getting over the past makes you feel amazing! Life is too short to waste time with unforgivenes or hating someone. Forgive everyone and everything. Make peace with your past that way you won’t screw up your future.I always say,"You gotta let go of Mr/Mrs.Wrong to find Mr/Mrs.Right..You deserve it:)

2. Honesty - What an amazing feeling it is to be in a relationship/friendship and have total honesty. Everyday it’s important to be proud of who’s looking back at you in the mirror. We all have a conscience and its there for a reason. Many people lie or are deceitful out of convenience and that’s sad. It is the beginning to the end of relationships.

3.Compliment - Tell someone how amazing they are. Or just making someone feel special. I love to make people feel special. Especially my Family or Friends! Everyday you should reach out and touch someone. A warm hug,(I hug strangers:) kind words, a big smile, leaving a note on how amazing they are! The more you give in life the more you get back.

4. Health - It’s something we sometimes take for granted until we become very sick or overweight. I don't want to have to go through this wake up call..You crawl before you can walk and walk before you can run. Nobody can do this but you. Join me and lets take care of us....I know with myself If I gain a little weight I don't feel my best so I do have to stay on top of this...every one is different so just figure out you and what makes you happiest and start implementing it so you can have a awesome happy life everyday...We shouldn't need the world to come alive..We should be the one's that are ALIVE IN THIS WORLD....whooooooohoooooooo come'on;))

My 38th Birthday...I blinked & yet another Year

As I grow older, I have learned a lot. I would like to share this with you, because we are NO different. Life passes quickly, there are no guarantees, no time outs, and many times no second chances. I am stronger than I ever thought possible. Have faith in God. He is so real and important in my life. Surround yourself with positive people. You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you, speak out, dance even if you don’t know how (like me!), hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep holding the one you love, stay up late, be spontaneous, and smile until your face hurts. Give of yourself, your time, your heart your finances to someone that needs help. The more you give the more you get back. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because people you love dearly have been taken from you. So take lots of pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, don’t bring the pain or hurt from other relationships into a new one. Don’t talk negative about other people. Love like you've never been hurt. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back. The greatest risk is not taking one. I thank God for allowing me this beautiful life.

I Believe in YOU

Forget about it

Regrets and worries two things that can ruin your life. Some regrets are not what we did, but rather what we didn’t do. Every new day is another chance to change your life. Either you can run from it, or learn from it. Learn but don’t go back. It made us who we are today. Here’s a recent survey 40% of our worries never happen, 30% of our worries concern the past, 12% of our worries are needless health concerns, 10% of our worries are insignificant and petty issues, only 8% of our worries are legitimate. Turn your worries over to God, He’s up all night & awake all day.. Bless You

Like We Need Another Fashion Term. ;)

Jeggings: Even Hotter This Fall!


Last spring we experienced the birth of jeggings (jeans + leggings). With the look of denim and the feel of Spandex, this garment revolutionized the skinny jean. Just when we thought our pants couldn't get any tighter, we were proven wrong. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Sienna Miller embraced this look immediately, and we began lusting after their absurdly high-end versions (like Current/Elliot's shocking $389.40 pair). Now, thanks to a recession-friendly market, there are tons of options (like Walmart's $12 pair).

Since, like the skinny jean, jeggings draw serious attention to your curves, it's important to create a balance when styling an outfit around them. Artful layers and flattering proportions are key here. 

Put on your BEST Stilettos & Start Walking

Most of us have read “He’s Just Not That Into You,” or at least seen the movie. We know the rules. We know the score. We can weigh in on our friends’ love lives with perfect clarity, giving them advice, showing them the error of their ways; but yet, when it comes to our own lives…and to that ONE guy…the one that makes us weak in the knees…the one that can pluck at our heart strings with both hands tied behind his back…the one that we hear the opening chords of “Take My Breath Away” every time he’s within a 50 mile radius…our girl power goes out the window faster than you can say “I am woman, hear me roar.” This guy is our blind spot. Our strongest weakness. Our kryptonite. Our Justin Case.

Justin Case (more commonly known as “Just In Case”) is a smooth operator. He knows how to push our buttons. He knows how to get under our skin. He knows how to offer just enough of himself to keep us hooked, sometimes for months and even years at a time. He doesn’t really want us to stay, but he doesn’t really want us to go. He doesn’t ever come out and say yes, but he also doesn’t ever say no. No matter how black or how white we need the terms of our relationship to be, we are willing to stay in a perpetual state of gray just to keep him around. We quite obligingly allow ourselves to take up residence in Relationship Purgatory because we’re not willing to give up the ghost and move on, but we’re also not willing to give up the most and sign on for what could be a life of always being second place. And therein lies the crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic conundrum of Justin Case.

Here’s the bad news: Justin Case will be perfectly content to keep you around, indefinitely, JUST IN CASE something “better” never comes along. And here’s the real kicker: his definition of “something better” usually involves someone that is clearly inferior to the fabulousness that is YOU. For whatever reason, somewhere along the way, he started to see you as the “safe” choice, the in-between girl, the backup plan. Not because you are any of those things but because he is incapable of seeing you clearly enough to realize the diamond he has standing right in front of him. Perhaps his blinders are there out of fear, or immaturity, or (as much as we hate to admit this) maybe he simply prefers Jello to Crème Brulee and no matter how many times you hand him the menu, he’s going to keep choosing Jello. Whatever his reasoning, do you really want to spend another second waiting around for him to realize how incredible you are? Or do you want to make today the day you move on to someone who wants to rock your world, and wants to blow your mind, and will never hand your glass slipper to the wicked stepsister when he has Cinderella standing right in front of him?

Here’s the good news: You’re not a “just in case” girl. You’re a first place girl. When you realize you're worth so much more, it won't be so hard to finally close that door! You have to know when to say when to what might have been and get in line with what can still be. The hardest part is realizing his part in your story is over. Yes, you were crazy about him. No, you can’t just make your feelings disappear like magic. And yes, it’s probably going to hurt for awhile. But here’s the best part: You are stronger than even your strongest weakness. Know your power, lady! There is no one that you are not strong enough to walk away from, so put on your best stilettos and start walking! If he can’t say yes, it’s time for you to say no and GO. The time for hesitation is over. The Future is waiting; and it will never fight with the Past to get your attention. And once you've made the decision to move on, don't look back. You will never find your Future in the rearview mirror.

Ultimately, Justin Case might have been one of those fun tunes to hum along to for awhile, but you can only sing the chorus over and over for so long before you realize the record is skipping; never moving back but also never moving forward. It’s time to stop singing the chorus and start rewriting the verses. Remember: Mr. Right will recognize the music of your heart and sing along to a tune that could never be heard by Mr. Wrong. So go ahead, First Place Girl. Rock his world. In life and in love, there are no points for second place. Mark this night as the night you moved on from Justin Case.#TSW

"Let Them GO"

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walkI don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.LET THEM GO!And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of goodbye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in goodbye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.LET THEM GO!If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to...LET THEM GO!If you are holding on to past hurts and pains...LET THEM GO!If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...LET THEM GO!If someone has angered you...LET THEM GO!If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge...LET THEM GO!If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction...LET THEM GO!If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents...LET THEM GO!If you have a bad attitude...LET THEM GO!If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...LET THEM GO!If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship.....LET THEM GO!If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves...LET THEM GO!If you're feeling depressed and stressed...LET THEM GO!Get Right or Get Left, think about it, and then...LET THEM GO!

Drinking the Happy Juice

“I just want to be happy” I hear it all the time. Many people are not happy because they are not happy with themselves. Once I changed my attitude, I started to feel better, little by little. When you feel so hopeless and become so negative you don’t see happiness as ever possible, but it is! We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. My happiness also comes from doing things for people that can make their day or a part of their life better. When I can actually play a part in making someone feel better, whether it's by listening and empathizing or maybe it's solving a problem for someone. Hey it work's:) Love you all!

YOU got THIS...!

The world will tell you “seeing is believing” the truth is “believing is seeing” you have to believe in your heart you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. I believe in the power of giving back. My own experience about all the blessings I have had in my life is that the more I give away, the more that comes back. That is the way life works, and that is the way positive energy works. The opposite of faith is fear. Don’t go through life being afraid. The regrets we have are not about what you did but more about what you didn’t do. Ask yourself, what is it you really want to do in life? Now take action towards a new beginning.

Take the Drivers seat.. Drive Baby DRIVE!

Taking control of your life Now... this is the time “Take control of your Life” How many times do we hear someone say "Life is flying by? Where did the time go?" That’s exactly how I felt. I needed to do something about that feeling. I needed to take control of my life! I didn’t want to go through life thinking I wish I could of, I wish I would of. I was determined to make sure my life wasn’t about the “What ifs” So many wait for the 'perfect time' we waste years of our lives waiting on the perfect time. I am here to tell you the ‘perfect time’ never comes unless you make it so.

Sometimes we go through so much of our life feeling like a victim. A victim of a bad relationship, a victim of the economy, a victim of bad business deals whatever it may have been. Most people are victims, victims of their own perception. I no longer feel like a victim, in fact I refuse to be a victim, because I’m in CONTROL! Sometimes friends mistake kindness for weakness. When we are going through our own adversity we neglect confrontation with friends and/or family mostly out of convenience, therefore you may feel taken advantage of.



Don’t look at these situations as mistakes; look at them as learning experiences. Stop this behavior. It’s no one’s fault but your own. This year surround yourself with positive people. To make this work in my life I had to get real honest with myself. Being honest with yourself is the first step in taking control of your life. So let’s take control of our lives!

What is it that bothers you? Are you moody, Jealous, sad, depressed, complaining all the time, feeling tired, no energy, in debt, lazy, a drunk or junkie, can you be a better parent, a better friend, a better person?

What is important to you? Money, freedom, happiness, security, self-respect, love, power, comfortable living, beauty, helping others, etc. Here are a few things that really helped me in my life.
1. Positive attitude: Other than my faith in God this was the key to my happiness. Throughout the day I continue with positive self talk. “It’s going to happen,” “I can do this,” “It’s going to be OK”
2. Take care of yourself: It’s much easier to be positive when you are eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest.
3. Be Thankful: We all go through adversity in life. Take the time to appreciate the good things you have. Some people believe the grass is greener over there or over here. Let me tell you “The Grass is greenest where you water it”
4. Set Goals: Write them down! Here are a few categories of goals I set for this year: personal relationships, work, health, finances and spirituality. List a few goals in each category. Set short term and long term goals. Remember you create your life - so start now by setting your goals.
5. Take Action: Goals are worthless without action. If you have written long-term and short-term goals and prioritized them, you have a plan of action. Take it slow. Do something each day that takes you closer to what you want. Enjoy the journey.
6. Forgiveness: Sometimes people are so fixated on a door that closed in their life they miss the doors of happiness opening up all around them. Remember someone who angers you controls you. Forgive: it’s the most liberating feeling in the world!
7. Self-discipline: Self-discipline is the final step that takes all that we have learned and puts it into action. This is a trait that for most of us has to be developed. To reach our goals we must visualize them as already being accomplished and have faith that we can reach them. When you believe in and trust yourself and have enough desire, self-discipline comes easily.


Remember, It is a process to change old habits. YOU will stumble but stumble forward so your already ahead when you get up..Don't focus your sights on what you did or didn't do...START NOW! Life has a way about it,"YOU concentrate on the Now and the OLD is replaced with Beautiful Blessings called NEW MEMORIES:)

Being Contagious EVERY Day!

Attitude is Everything!

People are so much alike. The one thing that sets people apart is
Attitude. You can change your life by changing your attitude. I
absolutely know this because I did it. My change of attitude altered my life. First off I don’t want to take away from the fact it is my faith
in God that directly changed my attitude. It not only made a huge
impact on my happiness and my success it also had an impact on my
friends, family, my relationships and people I never met. Attitude is
contagious! Is your attitude worth catching? It’s never to late to
change.

Remember attitude is a choice. In life I have always had goals I
strive for. I wrote them down as a young girl. I still do it as an
adult.(I have journals everywhere;) But what’s difference is my enthusiasm and my attitude. It’s never to late to become what you could have been! We become what we think! I can’t fully explain this but when I believe good things will happen they usually do. If you think positive thoughts you get positive results, if you think negative thoughts you will get negative results. I have learned to expect good things.

Henry Ford once said “Whether you think you can, or think you
can’t...you’re right! This positive attitude becomes easier and easier. Why? Because I love being happy.

I love to see people happy! One of the most wonderful things about
having a positive attitude is the number of people you touch. When you make others happy you become happy! The more you give, the more you get back! Even with my positive attitude, goals and enthusiasm we are all faced with adversity in life. It’s how you react to that adversity will dictate your success or failure. I have had some difficult times in my life, lost loved ones and have had some major setbacks but it’s my Faith in God that sustains me. This faith gives me the courage and strength to fulfill the purpose God has for me. So if you ever meet me and say “Kimberly how ya doing?” I will say FABULOUS!! If not I’ll give you 10 bucks! LOL

Have a Beautiful Day & Decide today will be the BEST Day of the REST OF YOUR LIFE!

THANK GOD for YESTERDAY'S

I once believed my happiest days were behind me. Thru Divorce I found myself asking," How much pain can one person take?" I remember when I hit rock bottom I didn’t want to be here anymore.. A pain I never experienced before. I never felt depression like that. What I had seen as a little girl for my grown up life sure didn't look like what I was staring at.

Then it all changed. I got on my knees and asked God to help me, help me to persevere, help me to forgive, help me to be a better person and most important help me to do HIS will. My life changed. I started with the most positive attitude. You see fear builds mountains Faith removes them. Lot’s of positive affirmations (positive self talk) Every time a negative thought entered my mind I would fight it with my Faith. I believed there was so much more than just going through the motions of life. I wanted to live and live more than I have ever lived before. I realized God had a purpose in my life.

God showed me how precious life is. I will never take for granted what I have been blessed with. I will spend my life giving back. The tallest I ever stood was when I got down on my knees.
Thank you Jesus....
God Bless & Believe Today Will Be The Best Day of The Rest of Your Life!!
