TO THE women WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY...
To the women who has lost their spark.
To the people whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.
This is for you.
This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.
You didn’t sign up for that.
Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?
Throw caution to the wind?
Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.
You can get that back again.
You really can.
And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.
It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.
Being brave enough to stop sometimes.
And rest.
It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.
Some of that is good, some of that is not.
There are parts of you that need to be brought back.
And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.
So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.
It’s really pretty simple.

"We must be willing to let our voices be heard and our votes be counted. This could be our last chance to vote our values in a manner that can make a significant difference."

This is something that we all need to be mindful of.

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there."

The little boy then understood how powerful his words were. He looked up at his father and said "I hope you can forgive me father for the holes I put in you."

"Of course I can," said the father.

It's not always anger, it is your actions in general. There are no "fresh starts" in life. There is no new beginning. Forgiveness comes easy for many people but the scars of the past, they never go away. Watch what you do today, because sometimes the price isn't worth the reward.

Sometimes no matter how bad the day may be you have to smile. 1. It can always be worse 2. If the devil is messing with you he is giving some other guy a break because he can't be in two places at once because he is not God. 3.Whatever doesn't kills you makes you stronger. So my advice is be anxious for nothing, it won't help, you won't get through it faster and give someone else a smile 😊 they may need it more than you today. May you all be blessed and stay well.

Sometimes, people ask me, “When did you stop being afraid?”

My answer is always the same, “I’ll let you know when it happens.”

Thus far it hasn’t, but I have learned a valuable lesson. There’s a big difference between being afraid and staying afraid.

Most times, fear isn’t a choice. It shows up like a surprise package on the doorstep of your life. Often unexpected, always unwanted, it is a spider in a shoe that yesterday had none. This is what it means to be afraid.

Staying afraid is different. Staying afraid is a choice. It’s a lifestyle, a scratchy comforter you pull over your head in the hope that it will protect you from worse things. Maybe you got hurt before, by a relationship, by a job, by an anything. You’d rather not expose yourself to more hurt, so instead, you choose fear. Better to shut out the world than experience the vulnerability of bravery.

That’s the great irony of courage. We think it is a shield, it is not. Courage is the laying down of all our weapons. Courage is removing the armor that would stop us from feeling an often unfeeling world. Courage is an act of vulnerability.

You might be afraid today. That’s OK, but don’t stay afraid. Trading the risk of the unknown day for the familiarity of the known fear is a horrible bargain.

Be afraid. Do things that are terrifying. Let fear fall down like rain. But kick the puddles. Stomp the water from the gutters. Don’t the rain keep you inside a fear.
Being afraid isn’t failure. Staying afraid is.

They forgot to mention you should give 10% and save 10% that is the goal to get ahead. Always pay the maximum you can afford on the least bill you owe in dollars and the minimum on every other bill and get it paid off as fast as possible. Then work on the next one the same way. You will be debt free in no time at all.

It's important to make a plan for EVERY dollar in your budget.

Expenses include: giving, saving, and spending.

Each person or family's budget will look different depending on what Baby Step they're on and their specific situation.

Rachel Cruze says, "A budget doesn't limit your freedom, it GIVES you freedom." Even if you're struggling financially, making a plan for your money will give you peace of mind. A plan always does.

If you've lost your income recently, focus on covering the 4 Walls (food, utilities, shelter, and transportation - in that order), and pile up cash while you weather this financial storm.

Give each dollar in your plan a job until every dollar is accounted for.
