Today, I’m trying to get myself back into writing on my blog.
It’s been a difficult start in 2020. I wish I could reboot the year.
I plan on being more consistent. I don’t know what direction I will journey.
I do know I will showcase more writing and fewer challenges.
Everyone, please stay safe during this COVID 19 time.
We’re all fighting the battle together.
This is a post from 2014 to get me back on track.
Ironically, it’s befitting for our lives now.
I gift myself with the power to LOVE myself.
My LOVE will provide for me a life without restrictions or judgments.
LOVE, you show me the path I must travel.
You are my direct route to my destiny.
Today, everyone will be touched by my HEART.
I want the LOVE in me to be the light that brings LOVE to you. 🙏🏻Namaste🙏🏻

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you’re the hardest hit
It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t quit.
We do it by focusing on the positive things in our lives. We need to stop comparing ourselves to others. There are times we lose sight of the wonderful person we are.
We look in the mirror and see flaws. We don’t like what we see.
We try to change ourselves into the people we’re comparing ourselves to and try to create that person we see in them.
The negative messages we were told while growing up create hollow spaces in our minds. They carve until they sculpt our emotions. If we look at those negative messages, now, we might not fit into them; yet, still believe them. They’re difficult to erase. They need to be filled in with positive affirmations about ourselves.
Only, we can change those negative messages.
Only, we can start to look at ourselves in order to form the persona we really are.
We can create and develop more of a positive mind.
We can strengthen our positive minds for a better way of being by letting go of those negative thoughts. We need to become real with ourselves by accepting the entire person we are despite what others may think.
Almost everything will work again, if you Unplug for a few minutes, including You!

This post is about taking time to Unplug from the daily pressure of trying to keep up with social media. We fool ourselves into thinking that we have a grip on how much time we spend on our computers or smart phones but we do not. Our concerns for missing something that we believe is important for us to know prevents us from seeing the addiction. Communication has broken down between people.
For example:
I was having dinner at a restaurant before a play my husband was taking me to see for my birthday in July. It’s a lovely Japanese Restaurant with delicious food, sushi and furnished with traditional japanese paintings and decor.
A family of four came in and were seated at the next table beside ours. Shortly after getting their menu’s and ordering, they all grabbed their phones and focused on the screens before them. Sadly, they did that the entire time they were eating. No conversation occurred during the entire hour they sat at the table. After the father paid for the check, they got up and left.
Are we unable to leave media behind during a short one hour of eating?
Technology has given us many benefits. We can skype family in other states. We can talk and see members of our family during times when traveling isn’t possible. Being able to research subjects or learn on-line is a phenomenal tool; but, somethings been lost. We need to find it soon. Our children are missing many things they could experience from their parents or extended families. They’re lost by a mesmerizing screen that is constantly calling them.
Will this one day be an addiction like drugs and alcohol?
I hope not. Perhaps, finding a middle road for all to be happy can be a topic of conversation: at dinner?
