Is Age Just a Number? Calling all of my 40 somethings and beyond!

Thursday, January 20, 2011

I just left an entry on a SP member's blog about turning 40. I wrote how I remember all too well what is was like to turn 40 five years ago. I told the member that turning 40 is just a state of mind. I really believe that you really are as young as feel. I also wrote that turning 40 (or any age for that matter) is about reflecting on how far we have come and where we want to go. Most importantly, when I turned 40, I felt so empowered because I felt I no longer had the need to live according to other people terms. I felt free to be me without excuses or apologies. As far as my body image is concerned, I look the way I am because I want to look this way and not because I feel threatened by what the media says about how I should look. I am healthy and feel whole as person. Yes turning 40 was awesome. So please my 40 somethings and beyond, tell me is age just a number of years you were blessed to have on earth or does it define who you are, or maybe both?

What are you reading this summer?

Friday, June 11, 2010

As an educator and avid reader of inspirational/motivational books, I encourage others to take up reading as a hobby. Reading is not only informative,adventuresome, and fun; it can also be very therapeutic. I use reading as a way of de-stressing and renewing my mind after a long day. Accompany a good book with your favorite music and WoW, you will find yourself having your own personal spa time.

I am reading (or plan to read) Think Yourself to Health, Wealth & Happiness: The Best of Joseph Murphy's Cosmic Wisdom, How to Let God Help You by Myrtle Filmore, and Education and the Significance of Life by J. Krishnamurti.

Live life without boundaries,

Do you make time for yourself a priority?

Thursday, April 22, 2010

I decided to blog about this topic because so many of us who are married and/or have children seem to make other people's time and needs our priority over our own. Not taking time for yourself can be a healthy lifestyle sabotager.

There is saying in my house, if Mama ain't happy, no one will be.
I am very fortunate because my husband and children recognize how much better of a wife and mother I am when I spend time on myself doing things that empower me. I love my family and love giving them my all; but in no way am I any help to them, if I do not first tend to my core needs (physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual).

So I ask you "Are you your highest priority?"
