Warrior Not Worrier

Sometimes it is easier said than done, but at the end of the day there is no better way than to be a “Warrior” and not a “Worrier” in this day and age.  Worrying never solved anything, but being a warrior – well that’s another story.

YES ~~

Warrior – noun, war·rior often attributive \ˈwȯr-yər, ˈwȯr-ē-ər, ˈwär-ē- also ˈwär-yər\ : a person who fights in battles and is known for having courage and skill!

NO ~~

Worrier – [wur-ee, wuhr-ee] :verb (used without object), worried, worrying. 1. to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret.

You can be a warrior of anything in life.  It can be someone who overcomes fears, a warrior for your health, the thought of being hurt in love (again), taking your life back during and/or after an illness, or just by being an honorable warrior for your family and friends and those little furry babies we all love so much and who cannot speak for themselves.  Be a warrior in life, in your life.  Be yourself, not who someone thinks you should be.  Fight that fight for yourself – for your inner being because at the end of the day there are always ways in which one can be a warrior for his or herself.

Trust me and trust in yourself – there is no better way than to be that “Warrior” within and not the “Worrier.”

A reminder from a fellow blogger and it is a great read! Thank you!

In the Navy, leadership is taught on a daily basis. We constantly exchange ideas and concepts. One constant phrase I keep hearing is “the big picture”. The members of my upper chain of command are always stating we need to stay focused on the big picture. There is a concept we will miss seeing the forest because we were too focused on the trees. I agree with this to an extent. The big picture is important to keep in sight. However, it is equally important to focus on the individual brush strokes. Find out where it came from and take notice on how it was applied. See how well it blends with the surrounding colors, or see how it stands out.

How many times do we neglect those around us for the sake of completing a task? I’m sure it’s more times than we would like to admit. That task…

CALLING ALL WARRIORS!

Calling all Warriors!  You know who you are – all you have to do is look in the mirror.  We, of course, have our warriors out there protecting us and defending us on a daily basis a/k/a our Armed Forces men and women, but I am referring to the warrior you are and/or can become should you find yourself doubting yourself.  You are a fierce individual who has more fight and courage than you know what to do with.  All you have to do is believe and have faith!  Have faith in yourself and believe in yourself!  You have no choice, you must.  If you don’t no one will (they can’t give it to you and/or make you have it) – for when you have faith and belief in yourself, it shines thru and everyone can see it.  You feel better about yourself, your head is raised a little higher and you know deep down that whatever is thrown at you, you got this.  You got this because you have the courage, the faith and the belief – courage, faith and belief in yourself that you are a fighter, a warrior, and a survivor of life.

YOU GOT THIS!  NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF.

Thank you for taking a little time out of your day to read a little light.  Cheers and please feel free to share with others who might need a positive light.

With light, love and guidance!

HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL ANGELS!

Good morning from Long Beach/Alamitos Beach where I am joining you via the Special Olympics!  Yes, why not blog as I am awaiting digital work from my photographers.  8)  The athletes are amazing and the volunteers that I have met are super nice.  Everyone is honored to be here helping out.

What a weekend! We had the opening ceremonies on Saturday and the first day yesterday, Sunday.  I was so tired that by the time I got home I slept 15 hours with no dinner.  I even missed my honey’s softball game that I like to go to in order to cheer him on.

With that, welcome to the last week in July, 2015. What a beautiful day to be here with you and enjoying the special day with such special athletes!!  Life is special and a gift ~ so no matter what you are going thru, please take time out to appreciate where you are in life and in the world at this time in your life.  It is a gift to wake up and “smell what the Rock is cooking!”  LOL!

Know that I am thinking about you all and wishing you all a fantastic day/week.

Cheers my fellow Angels!  With light, love and special guidance!

No Words Necessary

In life you have those moments when there are no words necessary.  Nature is at its finest, the birds are chirping, the air is clear and clean, the sun is shining, and you know deep down that there are, in fact, Angels around at this time because nothing could be more beautiful and peaceful.  Those times are priceless!  Don’t you agree…

We hiked that day down into the Grand Canyon, across the canyon and back up.  Yes, it took us all day and into the early evening.  Wow, what a journey.  There were more miles than I was anticipating, but we did it.  We were prepared, had plenty of water and food.  Rob is always prepared for adventures, especially those that take him outdoors.  So, I wasn’t too worried.

May your days be filled with light, love and blessings.  Cheers my dear friends.

No Thank You!

You know that feeling you get when you finally get home, walk in the door, and all you want is peace and quiet and maybe some light conversation with someone.  That’s it, no TV, no radio, nothing more.  Just conversation and peace.  I find myself like that lately wherein I don’t want to watch TV, I don’t want to listen to the radio, I don’t want to hear people talking on the TV, radio, internet or any other device.  I don’t want to check my phone for messages, Instagram, LinkedIn, FB or any other social media.  I just want to be at peace.  I just want to play with my baby kitties.  I just want that glass of wine and light conversation.  Sometimes I get so tired of all of that and just want to be within the presence of self and enjoy the time with my babies and significant other.  But, give me some time to wind down and I like to blog with you and read your posts for a bit!  But, that’s it – nothing more.  (Sometimes you just need a break from it all.) Crazy huh?

Does anyone else get this way?  Or am I a lonely lady in this…

With light and love to you all!

Work ~ Why…

There is something to be said for a slow day at a criminal defense law office.  I get to spend some time reading and blogging.  Granted, I should be working, but why?  I would rather be here with you instead of here at work.  So, let’s knock this day out of the park shall we…

Happy Wednesday my lovely angels!  I hope you have a fabulous day!

You are my love and I’m yours.

A Poem by Coyote Poetry

Best poetry are the words for love.

                            You are my love and I’m yours
vladimir_volegov_4_by_masako74-d4bgw1d
You are as beautiful as the sun rising from the eastern sea.
You are bright as the moon rising up to light up the night.

You are as soft as a gentle summer breeze caressing my heart and mind.
Your love is my paradise and my final destination.

With each taste of your lips and the feeling of your embrace.
I want and feel the need to be alive.

You are my dream maker and  the woman who make me want to dance,
laugh and make love.

I don’t want to control you. I want to know you.
I want to know and understand your dreams and fear.
Be the friend or lover, anything you need.

So today I have hope and dream…

YOU CAN DO EET!!

I was listening to a video this morning by author Jeff Goins re becoming a writer and he stated and reminded us that “you are when you say you are.”  So, with that and in life, you can do anything you put your mind to.  If you want to write, write and start calling yourself a writer.  As Jeff Goins states, once you do this, everything changes.  If you want to be a doctor, lawyer, architect, archeologist, or just a better friend, wife, husband, father, mother, daughter, sister, brother, etc. – you just need to remember in order to become the person you want to become, you have to start believing in yourself, start acting and talking like you already are (why not – what do you have to lose) and with that comes change.  Change in your attitude, change in your outlook on life and the situations that surround you, and all for the better.

So, no matter what you want out of this thing called life, remember that you can do anything you set your mind to!  Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.  Life is short not to take those chances, go for what you want and know in you heart and soul that you can have it if you work hard enough for it.  You can do eet!!!

Please feel free to share my blog if you find it could help or inspire others.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog ~ Cheers and have a great week!

A GOOD READ

Books ~ does anyone remember what those are any more? An actual hardback or paperback book?  I certainly hope so.  I was on the subway this morning on my way into work when my friend I was with, Mike, and I noticed that there were an unusual number of people actually reading books on the subway.  It was nice to see that people have not forgotten about the book itself and not read everything online on a desktop, on an iPad, on your cell phone or a laptop.  Some things are better in person.  “She said with a wink and a smile!”  Like going to the library.  Remember that and remember having to check out a book.  Don’t get me wrong, the internet has its place (like blogging and talking with you!) and is good for most things, but not everything.  I love to actually have a good book in my hands to read or a good magazine like the Archeology magazine I subscribe to.  I’m a total history and archeology nerd.  I just can’t help it ~ I yam what I yam.

So, enjoy the internet for what it is, but remember, it’s not everything.  Keep some of those original books and magazines at home.  You’d be surprised how many people you have over will enjoy seeing them.

Have a great day my literary angels.Book Angel

BONDS

Our pets/babies take up a spot in our heart and soul that is undeniable.  Once you see them and let them into your life and heart that’s it, you’re finished.  In that moment, you have created a “bond” that will last forever.  I say this because I had to take my baby Caesar to the vet hospital today for overactive thyroid.  He is such a love that it broke my heart to leave him there.  But, I know in the long run this will help him and make him feel better.

I believe in my heart that pets are our angels and here to love on us unconditionally.  They are always there when you need them and always a lick or headbutt away from giving all the kisses you want and/or need.  They ask for nothing except to be loved in return.  If only they could tell us when they weren’t feeling well – it would be so much easier.

So, God Bless all the furry babies out there and keep them all safe.  I do pray they all find someone to love on them and treat them as they deserve to be treated, with unconditional love, and with lots of smiles which bring us and them happiness.
