Always Be

Rachelle

Just like there is always a sun rise and sunset that We have learned to count on to always be there, same is true of other things in life( especially when You decide to make changes in Your life, to move forward). One of those things that can always be counted on( unfortunately) is ” haters” and when I say ” haters” I mean people who just want to hate and want to find the bad in You. There are people out there that no matter how many good choices You make will always try and find the bad. It’s sad but true and can in fact be very discouraging. But I want to ask You, are You living Your life for them or for You?🤔😋 It’s a simple question that really helps put things back into perspective You know! The truth is there will ALWAYS be those who will try and find Your faults or put You down, to help make them feel better about themselves and it really can be so easy to let their negative vibes bring You down. DON’T LET IT!!! Instead remind Yourself of that question ( are You living Your life for them or You?) and use it as fuel to drive You harder to keep moving forward! Remember how far You have come and that the only REAL person who has the power to hold You back is You. So in closing, don’t waste Your time and energy worried about “haters” ( aka critic’s lol), because sweety they aren’t even worth Your time! Instead focus Your time and energy towards making Your life a life Your proud of and keep chasing those dreams to make them become Your reality!!!! Remember You got this🧡

Good things

Rachelle

Sometimes in life it can be so easy to just give up when things don’t go as planned, but don’t give up, keep on putting one foot in front of the other and stay course. Good things DO come to those who don’t give up!!! So instead of getting discouraged, get excited, make plans, have goals, chase Your dreams and make them Your reality by moving Your life in that direction. It may not happen over night, but if You don’t give up, a door will open, and then another. So hang in there My Friend and DON’T GIVE UP, good things are heading Your way❣

The Little Things

Rachelle

Good Morning! ☕ So last night My Daughter joined Me in doing My evening excercises and yoga before before bed( which she does whenever she can😊). While We were doing push-ups( of which I do 25 to 30🤔😋), I had just gotten to 16 when I got a little TOO CLOSE to the ground and BAM!!! Hahaha My face hit the ground! Haha 😂My AMAZING Daughter and I INSTANTLY STARTED busting up LAUGHING!!! After about 30 sec of Us Both laughing SOOO HARD that neither of Us could talk, she asked Me( through Her STILL laughing) “Mom are You ok”? Of which I responded( while still laughing too, but rubbing My forehead haha 😊) ” Yes Honey, only My pride is hurt” hahaha😂 Then all she could say through tears of laughter was “Mom, I don’t think ANYONE has EVER DONE THAT BEFORE”!!! 😂 After laughing and saying ” Me either Honey”, I tried to regain My composure and finish doing the other 15 push-ups. But We couldn’t stop laughing and each time I would get close to the floor to do one My Daughter would say “Mom Your face is getting close to the ground”( which didn’t help My focus AT ALL haha)! 🤔😂😋 My Friends, I can’t tell You HOW HARD We laughed last night( I am STILL LAUGHING about it!), but I CAN TELL YOU, that last nights memory will stay with her and I FOREVER!! You see, through experiences We have a chance to make memories and see the humor in situations! Us having a positive mind and focus is KEY though! If I would have instead got upset and walked away( or worse not even let her join Me), My Daughter and I would not have that hilarious memory TOGETHER now and We would have truly missed out on a bonding experience!🙂 Perspective is EVERYTHING My Friends… Taking the time to not miss out on those “little things” in life, is LIFE CHANGING and finding the humor in lifes experiences is one of the KEY ingredients TO TRUE HAPPINESS! 💜

Warrior

Rachelle

Good morning My Friends ☕ Today I want to ask a question, what does it mean to be a Warrior of Your life? I believe that it means  despite all You have been through, You haven’t given up! You see, Warriors aren’t just naturally born, instead They are forged through the challenges of life. With each challenge We have faced, We grow mentally and emotionally stronger! It means when You face fear, U keep on believing! When You fall down, You stand back up! When negative things are all You hear, You block it out and keep on believing! It means not giving up when it’s the hardest, but instead choosing to keep on fighting! It means not  letting others stop You or hold You back from being the person You want to be! It means that despite what the odds may be, You don’t give up! It means walking through the fires of life sometimes and not retreating or backing down! It means sacrificing instead of gaining! Being a Warrior doesn’t come easy, but instead often it’s through blood, sweat and tears and comes with a great price! In closing, Diamonds are created when carbon atoms deep in the earths core under go intense heat and pressure( which over time will cause them to bond together creating a diamond), ONLY through that process can a diamond be created and formed! Same is true of Us! Warrior’s aren’t just born, but instead created! It demands going through intense heat and pressure sometimes and not giving up! It means that in order to have the victory, You must 1st be willing to fight the battle and not retreat when all hope seems gone! It means helping others when You see them hurting instead of just looking after Yourself and turning the other way! Being a Warrior over life is hard, very hard at times, but the key is to NEVER give up and NEVER lose hope of what’s to come! Remember My Friends, there isn’t ANYTHING You can’t do or overcome! 💙

Ashes to Beauty

Rachelle

So today I wanted to share a little WHY I write the blogs that I do… One day I will share My story and testimony, but for now let’s just say My story isn’t one of PERFECT choices or always DOING the RIGHT thing haha 🤔😊 ACTUALLY My story has been a lot of FIGURING THINGS out the HARD WAY and COMING BACK UP from THE ASHES! My life has DEFINITELY been a journey of OVERCOMING… You see I will be the 1ST to say I am NOT PERFECT nor do I PERSONALLY have all the answers. In fact it’s the TOTAL OPPOSITE! Haha But what I am SO THANKFUL for is that I am NOT WHO I WAS but instead I am a WORK IN PROGRESS and with each day I STRIVE to be BETTER than I was the day BEFORE! The reason I continue to share positive and encouraging blogs, is simply because I may not be the ONLY ONE out there working on becoming a better version of Themselves or be the ONLY One working on figuring things out! Each one of My blogs are things I PERSONALLY needed to be reminded of and encouraged of… I PERSONALLY SHARE them in case I am not alone… Maybe somebody else is feeling the same way( or over coming the same battles) and could use a little encouragement too! THAT My Friends is why I write My blogs, to remind Us ALL We AREN’T ALONE and there is NOTHING We can’t OVERCOME 🌺

What are We Pursuing?

Rachelle

Ok, so the other morning while sipping My 1st cup of coffee ☕ I went to open up My Bible for My morning devotions( like I do every morning, cause it REALLY IS just a Positive Way to start the day🤔😋), a paper fell out of My Bible that I had written a question on a while back… It asked ” EveryOne is Pursuing SomeThing, what are You Pursuing?” I was instantly like “WOW” what a question! Haha It definitely caused Me to sit back and think for a little bit, because in all honesty We all are Pursing Something! Whether it’s money, family, jobs, friends, kids, happiness, love, hobbies, bad habits, revenge, or even Spiritual beliefs.. We ALL My Friends have that One thing above all else that We pursue with everything We got inside( and it will show in Our life choices, even whether We realize it or not). For Everyone it’s gonna be something different based off what THAT Specific Persons Desires and Dreams are. It’s definitely a question that can stop You dead in Your tracks haha I know, but once We figure that Out, We will know WHAT We are truly living for and guess what?!?! If We don’t like the answer We come up with, the GREAT NEWS is We can start making changes today to change that! Yes, I know, self reflection and questions are hard sometimes to face, but My Friends it really is SO IMPORTANT to self reflect and see if We are Who We Really want to be. So in closing I want to ask, “What are You pursuing?” 💚

In Times of crisis

Rachelle

I was reminded very recently that in times of crisis it is SO VERY important to remain calm and find the humor! It does no good to get angry or panic or even freak out( although inside I wanted too at the time haha). Actually in truth We can tell a lot about Ourselves and the kind people We really are in times of distress. During those times it’s almost a direct mirror to what’s inside Us. What a crazy thought huh? 🤔😋 but it’s so true! So when those times of crisis happen use those mishap adventures as learning blocks, always find the positive and despite how hopeless it may feel at the time, NEVER GIVE UP! Take some deep breaths and always try to find the humor( laughter is good for Our Soul and really helps in times of crisis), be also determined to find a way and FINALLY, STAY POSITIVE, even if it’s just one good thing! Remember there is NOTHING You can’t do, NOTHING You can’t overcome, no obstacle to big, no situation too hopeless, no crisis You can’t find Your way out of!!! Believe in YourSelf and Know You Got this💙

Don’t Miss Out

Rachelle

ToDay I was reminded of such a simple but important lesson that I wanted to share in case I am not alone 🤔😊 ” Don’t over look Your blessings today, while waiting for Your tomorrow!” So simple and yet so powerful!!! There is SO MUCH EACH DAY to be thankful for, if We just take the time to look… But often We can miss the joy that those each day brings, by not living in the moment and appreciating what We got TODAY! Let tomorrow be about tomorrow and enjoy the gift of today 💛

Troubles Sleeping?

Rachelle

Ok, so I wonder if AnyOne else has had a hard time falling asleep sometimes?🤔😋 It used to be sooo bad for Me haha! Like My mind all of sudden decided at THAT EXACT MOMENT( while I was laying down trying to fall asleep), that it needed to recap EVERYTHING about THAT day!🤔 And NOT ONLY that day, but My mind would take Me back sometimes YEARS in past memories! Haha OR My mind would go the OTHER WAY and start thinking about the future and all it’s unknown mysteries! Won’t even lie, sometimes before I knew it clock would say 2am, that would later turn to 4am sometimes.. It was bad! I tried different teas, I tried reading, watching different kinds of movies, even listened to music and NONE of it really worked well( but instead usually helped it wonder more! Haha)… So a while back I decided to start doing 20 to 30 min of excercises, followed by some cool down yoga stretches right before laying down.. Let Me just say WOW!!! It has truly made such a good positive difference to My evening routine and mental state of mind when trying to lay down and go to sleep! So Friends, if any of You have had the same struggle trying to sleep, but Your mind just WON’T SHUT OFF, I want to encourage You to maybe try something different! Do a little excercise, followed by a cool down of stretches before You lay down and see if that doesnt help relax Your body and mind! ⭐

SomeTimes

Rachelle

You know, sometimes doing what’s right( or the right thing) is super flippin hard! Haha I Won’t even lie!! 🤔😋 Sometimes it requires all the strength You have inside You! Sometimes it requires great sacrifice… Sometimes it can even feel like the short end of the stick( so to speak). BUT Friends, I want to also encourage and remind Us all that sometimes You have to DO the HARD THINGS in order to get to the BETTER THINGS! Sometimes You have FACE the HARD TIMES, in order to get the BETTER TIMES! Sometimes You have to make the HARD CHOICES, in order to get to BETTER OUTCOMES! Sometimes You have to LET People GO, to make room for BETTER ONE’S!Sometimes You have to GIVE UP the BAD ADDICTIONS to find LIFE AND THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST! You see My Friend’s, ” Sometimes” isn’t always a bad thing( even if We may feel like it at the time). “Sometimes” can lead to BEAUTIFUL NEW OPPORTUNITIES and CHANCES!!! So if Your going through one of those BAD “sometimes” just remember there’s gonna be something good and beautiful at the end, so hang in there, Keep the fight.. Remember You got this and Your not alone 🌿
