Have vision and dream

Having vision is essential in life. You have to dream of all the things you want to accomplish. When you’re alone imagine any place in the world you would love to be. Imagine all the goals you are going to achieve. See yourself there happy as if you were really there. I do this before I go to bed sometimes or when I’m driving.

Never let anyone destroy your dreams. It’s also very important that you share your dreams with the right people so they can motivate you to become a champion while waiting for your dreams to come true. I’ve been this way ever since I could remember. You have to see it, want it, then believe it in order for it to manifest.

Treasures to live your life by:
1) Smile from the inside.
2) Don’t be fake.
3) Always have a pure heart  
4) Think good thoughts. 
5) If u don’t have anything nice to say…keep quiet

I’ve learned through my years that you can hurt someones feelings, so if there is someone talking in a way that is negative or disrespectful, keep your mouth shut OR you can be like me and let them know it’s not nice. Sometimes we have to step in and help those close to us redirect their focus. It takes practice to live your life from a positive perspective. Human nature can certainly lead us astray. But, life is not a Michael Jackson song. We need to do what’s right at all costs because if we don’t we are the first to suffer for it and next is those around us.

Another thing I’ve learned over the years is NOT to get caught up in random gossip because at the end of the day even if you said one word you said it all. I’m so over gossip. When I’m with my my best friend it’s fun to have secret girl talk, but we never talk about someones appearance or something that someone can’t change. You might think I’m crazy but I really see beauty in everyone as we all should. Please never call someone ugly unless they’ve earned the title by who they are on the inside. And even still, it is not our right to judge. Just take notes and learn.  Beauty is only skin deep after all. It’s really about what’s going on on the inside.

Tip of the day: Let someone know when they are wrong; you might change their outlook on life.

Sometimes we run out of ideas in the kitchen. Here’s a little idea that may get you thru one of those clueless nights when you can’t think of what to prepare next. I’d like to share one of my favorite meals with you. It’s really tasty and doesn’t take much time. Bon appetite!

Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:
Chicken breast (sliced thinly, horizontal)
Parmesan cheese
Dijon mustard
eggs
salt /pepper

Slice chicken thinly and clean (I clean my meat with vinegar or lemon). Then, season with salt and pepper to taste. Scramble 2-3 eggs in a big flat bowl and add 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard. In a separate flat wide bowl pour the Parmesan cheese in. Dip the chicken one piece at a time in the egg/Dijon mixture then coat with the Parmesan cheese. In a medium size grill pan add oil. Add the chicken to hot oil and don’t flip for about three minutes( when you flip too quickly the chicken doesn’t stay coated with the cheese). Flip and continue to repeat steps with the rest of the chicken….

Smothered potatoes:

Ingredients:
Four Potatoes
One white onion
Seasoning salt, 
garlic salt,
pepper to taste

Slice the onions finely. Peel and cut potatoes in different sizes (not cubes). Saute the onions in oil (make sure the oil coats the bottom of the pan) first until golden brown. Add potatoes and season. Cover and let brown and steam…

Steam Broccoli and season and there you have it a great hearty meal…:)
I haave to force my baby to eat her veggies and she does not want it near the food she loves…
ENJOY!!

Tip of the day: It’s not what you say, it’s what you do.  In other words don’t talk about it, be about it.

God bless…

 Blow drying my hair.

Blow dryed hair…

My hair without pieces…

Hair added to create volume to my hair, my #1 accessory.

Don’t forget these accesories are a great way to add some “bling bling” to your hair too.

Tip of the day: Do whatever it takes to make YOU feel happy! 

I’m always too hot or too cold.  The other day the sun was shinning bright and I thought “I could wear a dress,” but to my surprise California is finally showing signs of winter.

I loved spending time with my family on Thanksgiving. I’m so thankful for them. I’m also thankful to all my special readers that visit my site.

My baby girls are sick so gotta go now. See you soon…

Wearing : Sweet Rags dress, Express blazer.

Thank you all for the sweet comments and prayers! Hopefully my friend will read them soon. I also wanted to thank everyone who has supported me. My website has been up for a year now and the friends I’ve met along the way are incredible. 

Support your friends and family, let them know you care. The worst feeling is to feel unappreciated or unloved. 

“If you’re not thankful for what you have chances are you won’t be thankful for what you get.”Be thankful.

“Time is the currency of life, There isn’t more where it came from, so be careful not to waste it.”

Tip of the day: You deserve it!

Wearing: Diane von Furstenberg blouse, Leifsdottir Skirt, Fendi Heels.

Some people don’t deserve my love but, I’m a product of God so I love them anyway. When you begin to love unconditionally you’ll have peace that cannot be explained. If things don’t go as planned thank God reguardless of your situation, because it’s his burden. My God isn’t nervous about anything so why should I be. I’m blessed because of the wonderful people God has placed in my life. I finally came to the realization of what true happiness is, being happy for others and loving others. Get all that doubt out of your system so God can show you he’s the one that can provide like no other. He is in control of every aspect of our lives.

Definition of heart: The physical organ thought of as being the seat of the affections.

Tip of the day: Use your heart wisely…

I love spending time with my daughters. 

They make me soo0000000 happy.:)

Today we watched Cinderella 2 (movie night).

Perfect weather in California, hot days, cold nights.

Forgive yourself, He (GOD) already has…

Tip of the day: DREAM BIG…

Wore this to my friend’s b-day dinner last week. I’m so backed up on pics…

We don’t have to meet everybody’s expectation!

As long as we’re breathing things are going to happen we don’t like.  If we feed into negativity we would have a miserable life.  Let’s keep negativity in perspective, compare it to all the great things that goes on in our lives and function with a smile.   Life is a precious treasure. You can’t go back and change the past, so live today, push forward and continue to be a blessing  to others and follow your heart.

Recieved this in the mail yesterday. Can’t wait to show you what’s inside.

My weekend consisted of all spontaneous events. Saturday morning I jumped up and went to breakfast/movies/bookstore with my family. Later that evening went to a friends b-day dinner. Sunday went to church, visited a friend and the crazy part was, nothing I did was planned. Sometimes in life you have to just go for it and not think twice about not sticking to the plan.

My friend is the happiest she’s been and that’s because she decided to finally just live! She met the man of her dreams. WHY(?)… because her true happiness was unleashed. People pick up on your energy. Let’s face it you can’t make anyone happy unless YOU are truly happy.

Nothing should stop you. Don’t focus on your circumstances! Say to yourself “the rest of my life will be the best of my life”. Be thankful for the little things, recognizing them helps you stay humble. Something as small as finding a parking space close by are examples of the small things to be grateful for.

Realize

Today was rough. Today makes three years since my grandmother’s passing. I really try to forget about it, but I can’t. She was buried on my birthday and it kinda gets me down. I wish I would have spent more time with her. Victoria was an amazing woman! When I’m sad I just look in the sky and a star always winks at me.:) Please cherish your loved ones.

My eldest daughter had it double time today. One of her best friends brothers got killed in Iraq two days before he was supposed to come home. I send my condolences to their family. They are great people.

Can’t forget about my friend Amber who’s grandfather just passed and now her grandmother is in a coma with brain damage. Such a sad time…

“To realize the value of a sister/brother, ask someone who doesn’t have one,

To realize the value of ten years ask a newly divorced couple,

To realize the value of four years, ask a graduate,

To realize the value of one year, ask a student who has failed a final exam,

To realize the value of nine months, ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn,

To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby,

To realize the value in one week, ask an editor of a weekly newspaper,

To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who missed the train, bus, or plane,

To realize the value of one second, ask a person who survived an accident,

Time waits for no one.

Treasure every moment you have.

You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.”

To realize the value of a friend or a family member LOSE ONE…

Just in case you were wondering what she was whispering in my ear, “you are special”.

Meek is not week

Wanted to let my eldest daughter know how proud of her I am! She has almost all A’s and studies really hard. I love you baby and I’m proud of you.:)

Hello there my faithful readers. Hope your week is going great so far. Oct.31st is coming up and I told myself I wasn’t going to even acknowledge that day, but when you have kids it’s kinda hard. I got sucked into buying costumes at the last minute (nothing scary) and that’s cause my baby said all week “PLEASE MOMMY”! I gave in but I told her we will call it dressing up day. I explained to my kids that from now on we only celebrate God’s birthday!

I got this dress from Out of the Closet for $8. I had to get it shortened so total cost was $28!. I love it. Arden B belt, YSL heels.

One of my readers would like to know what post impacted you guys the most. I’ll leave that up to you guys to answer her question:).

I will be doing a hair tutorial soon I just have to get back on track. Feel free to e-mail me if you can’t wait and I’ll be glad to share the products I use with you.

Cali needs to make up it’s mind, raining one minute sunny the next.

Wore this fit running errands taking care of my business.

Sunglasses work great as a hair piece on a bad hair day.

Don’t lose any sleep over anyone that doesn’t lose any sleep over YOU!

Love like you never been hurt:).

Have a wonderful week…
