Stop being so quick to judge… RESEARCH!

I wonder how many people are actually living their lives 100% by the “bible”…

When certain issues arise that people disagree with the first thing they reference is the bible. Why? How many of you “those who love to reference something” actually live your lives by the bible every second of the day?

I don’t condone homosexuality, but I’m not against it either. I grew up with several family members that are gay and/or bisexual. Do I stop loving them or dealing with them because I don’t agree with how they are living their lives?

They are going against the grain, not because they want to but because it’s who they are and there is nothing they or we can do about it. When you think about, being gay or bisexual isn’t a choice. What human in their right mind, would ask for the abuse that they get as a choice… Really? They are living the lives that were given to them. Well, if this life was given to them, they were born this way, and who determines lives as babies? Yes…think about it.

I’ll say this in closing… The bible is a King James Version…there are books missing out of the bible, which means it has been rewritten. Which means, it could have said something totally different before it got to the King James Version- Food for thought!

Piece of Mind

Hello everyone! I was a great mood yesterday and the devil tried to destroy it by manifesting himself through someone in my house. I immediately recognized it and shut him down. I hope he gets use to it. I’m all about working on my and what’s best for me and my kids. So whoever isn’t ready for this big change that is about to take place, whoever can’t handle it, will get left behind.

I’m also going to be letting go of a lot of people and things. If you turn out to be one of them, don’t be offended. I’m going through another growth process and some people can’t go with me. I’m  sure our paths will cross again in the future, even if it’s just briefly.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Day 27 of my 31 days of resetting my life challenge

Today we were to start a side hustle. I’ve done this a long time ago but I did take some time today to revamp my side hustle and tweak some areas of them. I have more than one I’m almost finished with my 31 days, what shall I blog about after I finish. LOL. I’m sure I’ll come up with something.

My life is so crazy and full of events I’ll come up with something. Have a great evening!

Day 27 of 31 days to resetting my life

I know I’m super behind on blogging and keep you all up-to-date on my progress.

Over the past several days we’ve had to: Map out our ideal day, Create a bucket list, Revive our love life, Get rid of things we don’t need, Get rid of toxic people, Plan our reset project, Find a community to support our goals, Make a new friend, Stop complaining for 24 hours, and make a list of 100 things that make us happy! I’ve done pretty well with all of these, I’m still working on several of them, such as my bucket list, my list of 100, getting rid of things and toxic people, etc.

I only have 4 days left of my challenge and I’m looking forward to putting all these things into place in my everyday life. I’m also looking forward to getting my kids started on this in January, and doing it again myself in the Spring. I promise once I finish my bucket list and my 100 things that make me happy, I will share with you all.

Have a great week!

Day 16 of 31 days resetting my life challenge

Today we had to redesign our day. Yesterday we had to write down what we did each hour of our day. Yesterday was a bit of a challenge because hardly anything I did yesterday was what I do on a normal day. I was already planning on making some changes with how I spend the time I have in my day.

Today gave me a opportunity to start making the kind of day I want. I definitely want to dedicate more time for prayer, working on my businesses, and some exercise. It’s hard for me to do these things with the crazy schedule of my children, and on top of that I’m currently looking for a job so I’m sure my ideal day will change once I find a job.

Basketball season for the kids start in a few weeks which will tie up my time from about 5pm-9pm. I have son that plays and my daughter plays as well. So I plan to either stay up or a little later or get up an hour earlier than what I do now. I also plan to get more rest. Right now I average about 4 or 5 hours of sleep per night. I want to get between 6-7 and hopefully a full 8. I want to invest in an ipad or some sort of netbook that I can use at sporting events when I’m able to.

The time is going to be a challenge for me, always has, but I have made a conscious effort to limit my time of social networking, and use it mainly for business purpose. Of course, I do have to remain in contact with those on my social networking sites so they will continue to stay in contact with me and see what I have going on, etc.

So everything I do has a method to the madness!

Day 15 of my 31 days to resetting my life challenge

Hey everyone, doing a little catching up with my updates today.

Day 13 we had to write a create our life letter. I chose not to share mine with the world until I’m finished with some of my personal development and until I have made some major changes that I need to make. But I promise I will share eventually. I will say this, It help me put things into perspective.

Day 14 was a catch up day and a day of reflection.

Today is Day 15, it’s November 1st, and I’ve decided to do a 10 day fast. I have NEVER fasted before so this is definitely going to be a challenge for me. I pray all the time but fasting…that’s going to be hard. So in the process of doing it I’m teaching myself how to do it as well. Should be interesting along with difficult. I’m weaning myself from FB for the next 5 days and then giving it up totally for the last 5 days of my fast. I will still be blogging and tweeting (scarcely). I participated in Girlfriends Pray today for the first time. It was the first tweet I saw on my TL this morning, and since I’m making all these major life changes I figured I’d give it a try. I’m so glad I did and I’ll definitely be participating more. Especially while I’m on this 10 day fast.

We have to account for all our time today, hour by hour. At least it came at a time where I am trying to be more conscious about how I am spending mine, and I’m sure it will help me get focused on these projects I need to be getting organized. I am a huge procrastinator at times and I’m really trying to get out of that. I spend way too much time doing things for other people and not focusing and/or working on my stuff.

Well I hope everyone has a great Tuesday! Until tomorrow have a wonderful day!

Day 12 of 31 days to resetting my life challenge

Day 12 assignment is to write a letter to your Lizard Brain. Your Lizard Brain is resistance. For example: fear, procrastination, and making excuses are just a few. “The lizard brain is what stops you in your tracks and keeps you from moving forward.”

Here’s my letter to my Lizard Brain:

Dear Lizard Brain,

It’s me! I’m really enjoying this life changing challenge taking place within me right now. And I just wanted to let you know that I’m not going to let you get in the way of this. Procrastination and letting myself get distracted has been your way of interfering with my self development, my growth, and my success. Those days are over. I’ve always known you were there just wasn’t what to call you or what your forms were. Now that I do know- I know how to handle you. Once I know how to do that…you are in trouble. So, I know you will always be here, but you need to know that you will remain uneffective and have no purpose in my life any longer.

Sincerely,

Daphne
