Relax, enjoy!

Living the good life means flexibility.

Living the good life means patience and acceptance.

Living the good life means not beating yourself up for mistakes, errors, and failing to accomplish everything!

Love yourself - mistakes, failures and all. Forgive yourself for messing up. Move on and move forward.


I think that this is particularly important during the holiday season. It's so easy to stretch oneself super thin and and hate ourselves for things like indulging in too much holiday food, not creating the perfect holiday atmosphere, or missing deadlines.

Don't! If you find that your TO DO list is causing you too much stress, find something you can cut from the list (for instance, your non-income generating blog!) so that you can enjoy your time with family, friends and yourself!

Give yourself a break today. Relax, enjoy!

God Bless.

Living the Good Life

Living the good life is not something that just happens to you.

It's not something that is only attainable to an elite few of abnormally wealthy, happy or lucky individuals. 

Living the good life is a choice. 

It's a choice that we get to make for ourselves every single day. This blog is about reaffirming the choice to live the good life day by day because life is good every day. You can choose to focus on the negatives, the don't haves and the not-enoughs. Or, you can choose to focus on every little good things that does happen. 

Find the good. 

Reach for it. 

Search for it. 

Want it. 

Choose it. 

Own it. 

To help you in your journey towards The Good Life, I will post inspiration, motivation, tips and support to help you always choose good as often as I can! My goal is to post every week or so, but sometimes living The Good Life (for me) means choosing to step away from technology. We'll see how it goes. 

For today, I'll leave you all with this TIP: think of one small thing that makes you happy. Make it really small. Something you can concentrate your happy feelings and energy on. Maybe it's the feeling of a warm cup of coffee in your hands. Maybe there is a special song, photograph or book that speaks volumes to your heart. Maybe there is a certain house that you drive by on your way to work or school. It could be the sound of your kids' laughter while you cook dinner, the sound of a crackling fire, the sound of a choir singing. Whatever that small thing is - find it today. Give yourself permission to sit and enjoy that thing - even if you only have a minute or two. If even for a minute you can feel how good life is, it's been a good day!

God Bless.
