Life, for most of us, is very complex. Very rarely do we have the opportunity to deal with one issue at a time. Think about the things you are currently going through. Is there room to add one more issue? Wouldn’t you much rather let some of it go?
Regardless of your good intentions, there are people in this world who will not receive you the way you had hoped. What you need to be able to recognize is whether or not your energy could be better served fighting a different cause.
Before taking on what could seem like an up hill battle, evaluate your objectives. What is it that you hope to accomplish? Are you fighting for your pride or for the good of the cause?
There are ways to tackle the seemingly impossible battles without letting it take the wheel in your life. In order to preserve your peace you must create a healthy amount of space between you and your battles.
Never let the struggles you conscientiously take on interfere with what you value most. If you find that your mind is having a hard time letting go, it may be time to do one of two things…realize you have gotten in over your head or time for a good dose of love. Love on a baby or a pet. Very little interrupts the bliss that comes from the sweet love of anything so cute.
“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”― Albert Einstein
There is nothing wrong with standing up for your rights and or beliefs as long as you don’t allow it to consume you. With that said, there is also nothing wrong realizing something is no longer with the fight. Choose wisely!

Sometimes it’s the simple things that really make life worth living. Those little moments when you think, Ah! This is what it’s all about! Life gets so busy and hectic, that sometimes we let these things pass us by. Try to take a few minutes each day to appreciate the simple pleasures life has to offer. So, slow down, breathe deeply, and remember to enjoy these little gifts throughout your day.
Every new day is a gift. Tomorrow is promised to no one. Here are some little reminders of ways to live life passionately and without regrets.
One minute all is right in your world. The sky is blue and filled with the suns glow. You wonder how you got so lucky to feel so happy, to be loved so deeply and to be so blessed. And suddenly, in an instant your entire life can change with no warning or no explanation.
It can be as simple as waking up in a bad mood and wanting to crawl back in bed. Perhaps it’s a missed deadline or a missed anniversary. Regardless of how you got there, finding yourself in negative space happens. The goal is to not get too comfortable.
A blissful saturday for me would start with sneaking downstairs before my husband and Allie wakes and getting in a little baby time in the nursery. Follow that up with the smells of my husband cooking an amazing breakfast, because Anthony owns weekend mornings in the kitchen. What’s that I smell? Could it be? Why of course it is,….it’s Dunkin on brew. Drinking my morning cup of coffee while listening to Allie play with the baby and my husband talking to me about whatever is being discussed on ESPN. Once I have finished my coffee, gotten myself and the baby ready for the day, I see us setting out on what we like to call an “Abenture.” Yes that is spelled correctly. We say it in a silly little voice for Allie’s entertainment but find ourselves still saying it even when she is with her mama for the week.
Regardless of what comes next, I’d like to end the evening with a family stroll at dusk. There is something so magical about a sky as the sun starts to go down. It’s in the moments that i’m looking into it do memories of my childhood start to replay. Remembering summer evenings playing “Kick-the-Can” with the commonwealth kids. Walking to Dairy Queen with my girlfriends and hoping that a certain Berretta would go cruising by. My favorite things to think about though are my family times from back in the day. Riding bikes with my sister Jae, and “Sister Only” nights with Jessica. Those times were magical.
Do you have something that you have been meaning to tackle? What’s getting in your way? For me, it was fear. I came up with many reason why I shouldn’t, why the timing was wrong and contemplated all the possible complications that could occur.
