From the ARCHIVES; I thought we could use a little humor today. This is tongue in cheek and I first posted this last April. Someone contacted me and said they were offended that I would suggest leaving a marriage was this simple. To which I responded “Hey, Paul Simon was the one who said it, not me!” Also, grab a sense of humor lady…
We can thank Paul Simon for the clever suggestions in “50 Ways To Leave Your lover Husband”. Paul was one of the best singer, songwriters of his generation. I remember this song as a child and thinking there was something very unusual about the tune and the lyrics. It was both catchy and dangerous at the same time…
It sounds simple and yet it can be the hardest thing to do…
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
You may belong to a group of friends who have different priorities than you and to be yourself is getting harder by the day…or in a workplace that rewards behaviors that don’t match up with your personality…being yourself can be the hardest thing to do…or in a failing marriage with a spouse who just doesn’t ‘get’ you or squashes your personality…being yourself is the hardest thing to do…But I say, start now…It’s never too late to become the person you’re meant to be, YOU

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms out there! Special wishes to the single moms doing it all alone. Single moms are some of the strongest and most determined women in the world.
How do you define motherhood? I remember when I was young and expecting my first child, I was so excited. The anticipation of caring for a tiny human was almost overwhelming.
The bewildering changes in my body as the pregnancy progressed were nothing compared to the changes to come. But ignorance is bliss. I was sure if I had enough hooded towels for baby, everything would be fine. As my baby grew inside me week by week, I was filled with questions. Who would he or she look like? (Knowing the gender prior to birth was rare in the ‘olden days’) Would they be perfect in every way? What would they become? Sometimes I doubted my ability to be a mother.
Truth or Dare? Remember that game. Well, sometimes the dare was way easier than the truth…

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleanor Roosevelt
This one gives me pause. How do I let someone make me feel inferior? Isn’t it what they say or do that makes me feel inferior? Maybe what Mrs. Roosevelt is referring to is surrounding ourselves with the wrong people. If someone is repeatedly saying or doing things that make you feel inferior then it is up to you ultimately to remove yourself from that person. Don’t go back for more. Stop participating in the negativity.
Surround yourself with positive people and those who, while in their company make you feel good about yourself. Also, a healthy dose of not caring what people think, and being comfortable in your skin will reduce those inferior reactions.

“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into somebody else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.” Jim Rohn
Start planning! Start making decisions that are in your own best interests. Start dreaming about the future, you control it. Set a new goal and think about how you’ll get there. You can do it!

This week’s quote if the week,
“Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.” – Elbert Hubbard
On that note, here are some smiles for us today… FUNNY WOMEN…
“She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
whispered to her neighbor:
“Winter is dead.”
A.A. Milne, When We Were Very Young
Spring is the season of renewal, re-birth, new life. But when you’re going through your very own metamorphosis due to a divorce or other life changing experience, it’s not easy to feel optimistic. But the blossoms, the new baseball diamonds, the warm sun on your face, the open toe sandals are just begging you to re-consider. As you shed
