Love yourself first

17 Jan

SATCSeventeen days into 2013 and I’m pretty confident things will be much brighter and positive for me this year. As I look back at how far I have come in even one year, I’m amazed at how things have changed. I’m now surrounding myself with people who have a love for things that I like to do, I’m determined to get fit not only to ‘look’ better in my eyes but to be ‘BE’ better in a sense of healthiness~spiritually, mentally and physically. I’m also not settling into a relationship with the first man that gives me attention just because I want to be in a relationship.

I look around the circle of people in my life and there are relationships and wants that I someday would like to have and there are also things that I do not want to have. I am making a promise to myself to find true love, which to me is a healthy and loving relationship with someone who wants what I want and cares for me unconditionally. I will no longer feel like I have to adhere to society’s take on what a 33 year old woman’s life should be like.

As I browsed my favorite girl’s website today, Miss Mandy Hale ~thesinglewoman.net, she couldn’t have written a better post. We as women who haven’t found our Mr. Right yet, need to continue on our road called Life and know in our hearts, it will happen. For all we know, he could be ready and waiting for us. But until then, we shall love what we DO have in our lives instead of what we DON’T. Make 2013 count and make it a memorable one!

Weekend Favorites

10 Dec

With only 2 more weekends to go until Christmas is here, my free weekends have come to an end until after the new year. During this time we may feel stressed and overwhelmed by all of the parties we need to attend and spending money on all of the people in our lives. However, we must never forget the reason why we do it~ family and friend bonding (along with cookies and christmas music).

Rather than my usual Friday Favorites, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite things from this past weekend.

Favorite Event: Jingle Belle Brunch

This past weekend I was able to be surrounded by work family. These are the people I spend the most time with in my life and I appreciate everything each of these ladies do for me and that we do for each other. In the past 5 years, we have grown very close and started traditions outside of school that we now look forward to. In the fall we gather around a fire pit and laugh and tell stories; this past Sunday I hosted a brunch for these lovely ladies along with an ornament swap. Instead of a fire pit, we sat by a fireplace with mimosas in hand. It was a ton of fun!!!

Our delicious assortment of food!

Favorite Christmas Song: This past Saturday while I was running all of my errands, I found myself totally jamming out to good ol’ Brit’s christmas song that came on the radio~ “My Only Wish This Year”. Thankfully it was dark out and no one could tell! Haha

Favorite Home decor: So this past weekend I added a new piece to my holiday decorations. I seriously cannot get enough of white lights. I know I’ve said it before, but there’s just something about them.

Hope you all had a great weekend too!!

President Barack Obama’s Interview With Glamour Magazine

20 Oct

Nowadays, politics cannot be avoided. It’s even made it’s way into my classroom believe it or not. One thing I made sure to stress with my students is that everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion and you need to always be respectful.

As I sit and enjoy my lunch at a Panera Bread on this sunny Saturday afternoon, I was browsing around on one of my daily sites, glamour.com. I came across this interview that was done by Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive. Ladies we are a major part in this year’s election. There are many topics that effect all of us.

Love the life you have

11 Aug

As I sat down to write tonight I turned to my trusty source, The Single Woman, for some quotes to help me with my new post. We all know I turn to her for inspiration, reality checks, advice, etc. (I swear she is me living in another state. We are way too similar.)

However tonight, I didn’t need to write my own post. I got to reading her’s for the day and it was as if she wrote it for me already. As I continue to sit here on my comfy couch on a Friday night and think “Why does this always happen to me?” or “When does it ever end?” I am going to think about her post and stop feeling “sorry” for myself.
And if you ever find yourself feeling the way I am today, along with many other women, read this post and remind yourself you are perfect just the way you are. We don’t have to follow anyone’s rules, especially society’s. We only need to follow our own.
