It's almost 2018, and it's time for the  "New Year, New Me's" ........ At the beginning of every calendar year social media timelines are flooded with long cliche quotes on Instagram and Facebook captions where the masses tends to publicise their goals, but in reality never really make any real progress. "I'm going to lose weight." "I'm going to work on my attitude." "I want to make more money." - Oh, This one has been recycled since the Great Depression of the 1930's... No seriously guys... The start of a new year is the ideal time to set goals, and start a new chapter in you life. But why do new ...

I remember, I asked a young girl a few years ago during Thanksgiving what was she thankful for, and She said softspokenly "My daddy, because he buys me things." Confused, I continued to question her. "If your daddy is unable to buy you nice things, will you still be thankful for him?". She stared at me wide eyed as if I was speaking some alien language, and of course had no reply. These days we are constantly told by the media, that we are not pretty enough, or that we need to possess material things; and lack thereof equates to unhappiness. It is no surprise that many of us do not possess an attitude of gratitude. Thanksgiving Holidays over the years have evolved from extended family gatherings and thanks giving, whether formal ceremonies or round table discussions before dinner, to Door Busters, Online Deals and Gluttonous Feasts causing people like me to fall victim to unwanted Congratulatory remarks. "For the last time, I'm not pregnant Aunty, I...

What is starting over? What exactly does it mean? To start over means that you are willing to remove yourself from negative environments and people (where necessary) that are often draining you of that growing need to move beyond your sadness or that negative state that you're stuck in. Starting over is willing to accept that you have to leave the past behind to get to a new place of peace. I must admit, Starting was never really my strong suit. When I felt "stuck", I often tried putting my own feelings aside, and masking how I truly felt day in and day out. Whether it was a relationship or my own spiritual journey, I sucked at starting over, especially when it was necessary to do so. Today, I will share the secrets that have helped me cope when I needed to remove myself from stagnant environments in order to foster my own growth.  Physical Changes that will Jumpstart your Journey to a New Path  This is a no brainier. You want something different, you have to ...

I was inspired to talk about this topic after taking myself for Sushi today and jokingly posting a picture of my sushi roll on my SnapChat Story captioned with the title of this post...I'll admit that the title does make me sound like a loner, but I am in fact the complete opposite. First off, I must say that I have experienced all (or most) of the highs and lows of dating and I have grown completely comfortable with being alone. I have taken the time to enjoy life's luxuries alone and developed an unusual liking for "water tasting." I know it sounds really weird, but in my leisure time I have researched and tried several different brands of water in addition to taking up a few online courses. (PS - Core Hydration Perfect pH Water is the business). It is important to understand that being single is not all about drinking wine alone on a Friday night and sobbing over romantic comedies (although I do find solace in partaking from time to time). Being single provides s...
