The truth will set you free....

I have heard this multiple times this week. It has caused me to think about the pros and cons of telling the truth. A key example is what do you say when someone asks "How does my breath smell?" or "Am I gaining weight?" What about "Is my boyfriend cute?" or "Should I leave him?"....My point is there are times when the whole truth may not be the right answer. Or should you tell the truth no matter what and not worry about the feelings of others? What percentage of your day is spent telling the truth? What impacts your decision to tell the truth or not?

No..ughh...Spring Break is over!

Help me. The week went by so fast. To all my family members that will have the next week off...appreciate it, savor it, enjoy it...because you blink and it is over. But here is the deal... I need help with strategies on how to have the same relaxing feeling during the work week as we have on spring break. Hit me up and let me know things that have worked for you. I am open. I will try anything:) I need to be able to relax, relate and release during the work week. Please people ....be kind and help a sister out....LOL

What If....

Recently, I spent some time with my family (sisters, parents, uncles, cousins...) The topic of patterns in families increased my interest on the subject. Patterns in the perspective of things happening in one generation and then passed down to another generation. Key examples would be how we interact with the opposite sex, weight gain, self-esteem issues, substance abuse...and the list goes on. We all agreed communication is the key to combating these issues. This in turn caused me to wonder what I would communicate to the 30 year old me...If I could speak with her today....or vice versa...what would the 30 year old me say to the me now....ugh...LOL
So I am asking you to think about the you (ten years ago)...what would you say to that person? or What do you think that person would say to you now?

As for me, I know I would tell the 30 year old me to enjoy the body....because "years, unlike milk, does not do a body good"....LOL I would also say believe in yourself....don't allow other people to place their thoughts of you in your head. I would encourage her to put "herself" first. I would say Laugh more, Learn more, and Live with a determination.
