Sometimes I wish there was an off switch for our brains, when we wanted that little voice in the back of our heads to just shut up!  I cannot even count on one hand the amount of times I have tossed and turned at night, while my mind ran on and on like a tape recorder, do this, don't forget that. It can get exhausting after a while.  I found myself going through that cycle one night, I had been stressing about my appearance, I had found myself doing that a lot those past few weeks.  I just need to fix my skin!  I cannot wait to lighten my hair!  I am not tan enough!  I will be more happy when I have the perfect body.  Amongst all the noise, I heard a voice, it was different from the other thoughts going through my head.  "These things are not important to God, his judgement should be the only one you worry about, dwell not on these things any longer."  It is okay to care about how one looks, but if that is the only thing that plagues a person...

  How many of you have seen the movie or read the book Pollyanna? When I was a little girl, that was one of my favorite movies.  A young girl moves to a new town, where everyone is always negative, and looks for the bad in life. They all think she is crazy, because she sees the cup half full, but over time, they learn that their outlooks can really have an effect on life.  Pollyanna taches them a valuable lesson, the power of positivity. Now don't go falling asleep on me, this is not a book report, I promise you, this lesson will change the way you view yourself and the world.  I have realized lately that one of my most said statements, is that I love wearing masks because it covers up half of my ugly face. Hmmm, last time I checked, if I said that about someone else, everyone would look at me like I was a huge jerk, so why do we speak so badly about ourselves?  It is a horrible habit. When I used to work in retail, I would often see kiss marks at the bottom of ...

 Many times on this blog, I plan what I will write a day or two before, but today I pulled out my computer with an empty brain, so here I am, letting my words flow out freely with no plan what-so-ever.  I have often struggled in my life with not being satisfied, I always feel that I am not doing enough, that I should be pushing myself to the furthest limit possible. This is not a bad thing, however there comes a point when one has to reflect, and find the root of their over working.  I am a very firm believer in working hard, it is the one thing that brings me the most happiness besides my relationship with god, but I found that I was not doing it entirely for good.  Fear, it is one of the most powerful forces out there, it drives many of our decisions, and often I have to sit back and realize that this lack of faith is choosing my choices for me more then I would like it to.  I will push the point further with some background, last April I lost quite a bit of v...
