Little Known Facts About Gratitude And Why They Matter

I started to go within and seek out questions about where my life is at this current moment and where it's been and I must say it's been a roller coaster of a ride!

This blog is simply to say THANK YOU! to the people that have supported me and continue to support me in my endeavors. I'm a "Solopreneur" and even though we get to work by ourselves and make our own choices how to go about our business I can't help but to thank each and everyone. It's through the amazing people we have in our lives that we feel we can climb heights! :)

A couple of years ago my life was very different and I have to pinch myself right now as we speak not because I have it all figured out or because I'm a Millionaire but because life would of went totally the opposite direction. When we are at our weakest is when we need God, our families, friends, neighbors, pets etc... in our lives to strengthen us.

This blog is to each and every person that has walked into my life and hold a special meaning in my heart. Every favor, assistance, helping hand, advice has been of great service to me. Strangers become friends and friends become family and it only gets better from here on out.

Thank your family, friends, acquaintances that have helped you be where you are at right now as a token of appreciation. I sincerely have heart for each and everyone.

I've said it before not many females would of made it this far however I do understand indeed I'm a strong female and the support is greatly appreciated.

I used to work as a longshoreman (woman) at the dangerous Ports Of Los Angeles/Long Beach for 10 years. I was blessed to not get hurt while I was working down there but I've seen many injuries and heard of heartbreaking injuries as well. 

And as I think what I've done to make good money $$$ I don't regret it. I was able to learn Leadership skills which is valuable in today's life. When I think about what I had to go through just to work out in the docks I shake my head. I must of really wanted that job really bad as I was willing to do anything to get in there. I was picked through a lottery pool drawing and just because you get chosen does not mean your in. You still have to go through rigorous testing and a written math test. Ugh math! (I passed though) :)

Talk about hunger games!

Never had I experienced anything quite like it. My body was not prepared for it and got injured as I thought I was ready for the test. Boy was I wrong! Had to train to pass the test and at that time had just arrived from Phoenix, AZ needed a job and money was something I lacked. I remember my family helping me in getting steel toe shoes to 20 lb heavy arm bell weights. I practiced daily to have enough upper strength to take the test. It really helped a lot but the test was still difficult.

Have you ever been criticized or someone not believing in you that you have what it takes to do a job? 

Well I remember as I was taking this rigorous test 2 powerful men in HQ were watching us and one said Oh, she is not going to do it! too slow!  We only had 13 minutes to hang ridiculous heavy bars a set of 10 I believe. Not sure the number as it's been a while but there were plenty of bars.

As soon as I heard the man say that something in me FIRED ME UP! and gave me the strength to go hard! In my mind I was saying Oh, I'll show you! It was soo weird as I haven't experienced anything like it. The body is amazing! When it's provoked it switches into survival mode! :) 

I proved them wrong and I passed the test and their face was priceless ha! :)  I still can't believe what I did but that's part of working for a blue-collar job that pays well. That has been the hardest thing I've ever done physically! There are some guys/men that couldn't pass the test but were able to re-take the test. It's all about physical endurance.

And so in order to achieve my goals which were to pass all 3 tests to be officially a casual longshoreman I had to have my family's support in which they did and I am very GREATFUL! :)

What are you Greatful for today? Did you overcome a challenge and had people cheering you on? 

Think about those things. It's in those times that we are thankful and greatful to be alive! :) 

Had it not been for my special people I would not be here writing this blog and for that I am full of Love. XOXO! 

With Much Love

Balancing Your Life With Ease Is A Necessity To Rock Out In 2016!

What are you sacrificing?

Hiya! :)

Sharing with everyone a quote I loved hearing today from Kate Northrup (Money Love Coach) how raising your value v's sacrificing your life to attract more is the way to go when it comes to attracting or repelling. 

See Life is not really complicated at all it just takes a couple of tweaks to attract the right circle, the right people who will lift your life, inspire you, help you be better and motivate you this is why I love to inspire.

The word INSPIRE comes from the divine. From God. Higher source than yourself. It's downloaded information for you to share with the world.... now it's up to you if you share it or not... 

Many hold on to information for lack of scarcity or because it's going to be stolen or for whatever mindset blockage people have.  What I've learned is the more you GIVE the more you RECEIVE.

Have you ever asked yourself why people attract certain type of people and others attract another group of people? It's a matter of how you feel about yourself. I consider myself a confident female who loves the spotlight and shine. I love to interact with people, engage, story tell, laugh and learn. The people I attract are the same way.

When your in sacrificial mode your working really hard for something not worth it. I'm a hard worker don't get me wrong but I much rather work in ease rather than work like a horse. 

The reason I say this is because I've worked very hard for the past 10 years and it didn't get me anywhere close that I wanted but a weekly paycheck every week. What I can say is that it taught me to have thick skin and a trait needed in a world where everyone tries to pigeon hole you in a box.

Try to contain me in a box and I  will lift the lid every time. That's how I view life :)

So to end this blog post ask yourself this question... Are you working super hard to the point of exhaustion and extreme and for what? Is it the money? Is it due to ego? Are you in comparison mode? bigger? better? more? 

Know that wealth knows no scarcity. There is lots to go around for everyone and it's not ending. The government, the world, the president... is not putting a stop. It's infinite what you can do and how much you can earn the dilemma is how hard are you working at the detriment of your body?

Peeps, balance your life at least once a week. I've been reading lots of posts on social media how people are not feeling well and lethargic with no energy or enthusiasm. If you have to take a day off, travel or do something enjoyable without having to work hard then do it! :) 

I speak by experience because as Enterpreneurs we know even if we are enjoying a day off we are in constant communication with others while traveling, at events, networking... it's just part of life however do it as a form of connecting and not as a full time job.

Enjoy Life To Your Fullest!

XO!


 If I'm not attracting the same then perhaps it's a lesson to learn  You must know when to exit and must discern that is not what you want to attract.
