CLOSE THE DOOR TO SELF PITY!!

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. When we are given chances, opportunites of a liFetime; that will change our lives forever, we reach deep down inside and open the room door of self doubt and pity. You know the room; where we keep all the negative things that are told to us. Maybe someone told you that you were stupid because it made them appear smarter. Maybe someone told you that you were ugly to make themselves appear attractive. Maybe everytime your smart beautiful self attempted something, you heard these words in your head. Well, I say its time to demolish that pity room you have built for yourself and step out on faith with the talent that was given to your by God and only God!! I dont believe God would give us ideas of aspiration if he did not believe that we could achieve them. And it thrills my heart to know that I am fighting the enemy of self doubt and winning! Now you can fight yourself all day, all your life if your want. But you're just missing out on nurturing your dream and watching it grow! Love to all and happy Sunday, Joyce

Second Chances..

Second Chances.... We are often offered them, but rarely take advantage of it. I truly believe that life offers us second chances or phases in life if you will. This week, I experienced the most beautiful thing in the world. The birth of the most beautiful baby boy in the world. My first grandchild. I have added yet another title to my being and thats grandmother. My second phase of life. I think I am going to love it!! Now mine came by way of my grandchild. What is your second chance? Going back to school, changing jobs, changing states!, Whatever it is, dont be afraid to take a chance on your second chance. Love to all, Joyce

OH....TO BE A KID AGAIN!

When I was teenager, there was one thing I wanted to be more than anything in the world….. An adult! I couldn’t wait to be able to do what I wanted to do without anyone telling my otherwise. Well I got my wish but as most of you “adults” know, that title comes with a lot of responsibility. I cringe when I hear our young people wishing they were grown way before their time. Bless their hearts, if they only knew how we longed for our childhood bedrooms with no worry of mortgages, rent or utilities. To get up knowing the menu for today was not something we had to think about but it was just “magically” there when we got home from school. If they knew they should be savoring every moment of their kid and teenage years because just as they wish, adulthood will come and you can never go back. Chew on that one today…… Love to all, Joyce

ITS OKAY!

IN THIS FAST PACED WORLD WE LIVE IN, ITS EASY TO PUT MORE TIME AND ENERGY IN OTHER THINGS AND PEOPLE AND NOT DO "SELF MAINTENANCE". NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG, I AM NOT SAYING NOT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR DAILY PERSONAL AND SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITIES. BUT IT IS STILL OKAY TO HAVE SOME "YOU" TIME. FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, IT WAS INSTILLED IN ME THAT TO THINK OF MYSELF FIRST WAS SELFISH. SO I ALWAYS ATTENDED THE NEEDS OF OTHERS. ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT WHILE I WAS TRYING TO FIX THEM, I WAS, AS THEY SAY A "HOT MESS". WHEN I STARTED WAKING UP PRAYING, TENDING TO MY SPIRITUAL BEING, DOING SMALL THINGS TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL GOOD.I STARTED TO GET IT. I WAS A BETTER HELP WHEN I HANDLED MY SELF FIRST. SO ITS GREAT TO BE A BIG HELP TO OTHERS, BUT ITS DEFINITELY OKAY TO HELP YOURSELF FIRST. STAY INSPIRED AND LOVE TO ALL, JOYCE

FEAR OF FLYING

We often thwart our own successes in life with fear. Fear of failure, of being laughed at, not being appreciated. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a vision to do something and before I can get the idea straight in my head, I start doubting it.. Thinking of what people would say if I fail. I wonder just how many good ideas did I have that would have put me in flight? I guess what I am trying to say is, how do we expect to soar when we are afraid to fly? From what I hear, the view is great from above. So give yourself some “wing” room and start your ascent. Who knows, one of those ideas just may be the one that keeps you flying high for a long time. ….. In a good way, of course. Have a great weekend and Love to all, Joyce
