Do you love or hate your job?
Lets faceit part of growing up is work. You either have a job you really love or you get one that you hate. Like for me I worked for years in the insurance industry and I disliked my job. I got to the point that I had headaches all the time, grouchy and irratiable all the time I was a ball of tension. Pilates is what really balanced me out I enjoyed it so much that I am now becoming an instructor. The reality of the matter is that in order for me to achieve my goals I have to get certified and work at a least favorable job first before I can make my dream a work of art.

TGIF`
TGIF!!!! Thank God its Friday!! oh the weekend is here!!! To party or not to party is the question!!! I have alot to celebrate today...it waa a wonderful ending to an week of foolishness. It seems as if everyone is trying to use someone. That is all everyone does. I got offeredthis job which was similiar to the last position I held the only thing was they wanted me to work for only 6 months for the company and at more than $2000 less than my salary I was currently making. It was so bad that the woman wanted me to start work beforw I saw the contract. What type of idiot would I be if I accepted a job without seeing and reading through the contract first. Needless to say I ended up landing a position at an company to be an Administrative Assistant to the accountant on Thursday!!! So it is going to be a learning experience totally different from dealing with insurance

Is there a such thing as a perfect mate
My forum for today is "Is there a such thing as a perfect mate?" Lets face it none of us wants to be lonely but through search for some reason or another we try to either change the other person, ourselves or worse still by pass a great person just because they fall short of our expections. Expections run so high at times that we tend to over look the important things an focus on the tiny ones. Why is it that now it matters what the other person feels or how they will view the true you? At times I have fallen victim to this plot. I have felt in the past that I needed to change something about my self in order to be accepted by another. At one time I honestly was losing site of who I was. I was no longer an individual I had no idenity. It was all about the other person in my life. Why did I feel the need to change myself totally? Was I that hungry for love that I had no control over the situation? Life is too short to go around trying to change everyone we encounter. It is becaus we are different that makes us unique! That is why I cna accept and welcome my friends just the way they are!

The power in thinking
There is power in the mind...if you think negetive you will get negetive results...if you think positive good things will come your way. At times seeing the positive in all situations can be hard. I remember that I worked for this international insurance company and every day all day i used to say positive maatras just to try an focus on what i need ot dao and to condition my mind. some days it was the hardest thing for me to do...mind you I did this like clock work for years. But the thing is if you know that the situation is no good a little bit of positive thing can also help you to find the strength to get out of it. You get from it what you put into it. you cannot take and not give

Faith
What is faith? It is putting all your trust in a higher power and not questioning what is going on in life, but trusting that everything is as it should be.

When the Going Gets Tough the Tough Gets to Doing
When the going gets tough the tough gets to doing what ever it takes to make things work in a positive manner. Today I had to take a breather and just meditate for a few minutes...after 5 minutes and some sushi (which always makes me feel better) I was ready to tackle the world. I was proud of myself for not throwing in the towel like i have at other times. There are always going to be challenges in which to over come I figure why not get started with rising above some of them now. I can't go through life giving up everytime something does not go as planned.

Life is a wonderful thing
It is a pleasure for me to be given the opportunity to live life and to be able to express myself! At times I am given a bit of trauma and grief to deal with. to me that is lifes way of geting me to slow down and to know that I cannot do everything by myself that there are times in which I do need help. For me it is easier to give help than to accept it.

Achieving Balance
I am on the road to acheiving balance. I am trying not to put so much focus on my career so that I can concrete on my family and other areas in my like. I feel as if I have spent so much time trying to create a career for myself that i have some what negleted the other areas in my life. Like the little things. For instance it is a gift to have life, health, family, friends and food. At times we get so caught up that we stress our selves out by not taking time out to say, "I love you" or "No, I cannot do that for you". It is a shame that things are that way at times. The blessing in which I am sending my friends is to take time out to regain balance and understanding before it is too late. No one wants to be a busy body all the time.

what would You think
what would you think...if you were going with someone for the past few years and they still checked your text messages, voice mail as well as your email? this is the situation I am presently going through. No matter what i say or do the person is never satisified. I work steady, I am a good mother to our child, when ever he needs me I am there. I do not deny him a thing. He never denies me anything. the relationship goes along smooth until something occurs. We have no problem communicating about other things it is just when there is a problem within the relationship. he clams up. I have been called everything from heartless to unfaithful. what anm I to do? He claims tht he wants to work things out but he just don't talk...he gets a terrible temper. Like today..he deceided that I can look through his email...I did I found out that he is telling some other woman that she is the bomb...I questioned him about it. Of course he denied that anything was going on and that everyone always comments me.

Motivation
Motivation...have you ever been caught in a rot? I have been going through this phase for almost a week right now. It is a hard phase for me. It is like a block has been placed upon me. I am usually a highly notivated insividual...I think maybe because I have been sick that is why I have had some trouble with my goals lately. all I can do at the present is move forward.

Making A Decision
One of the hardest things to do at times is to make a well informed decision. Sometimes no matter how much you know you are some how blocking yourself from doing what is right. Like me for instance...I now work between 3 to 4 hours a day. The orginal plan for me doing so was that i could put a little more focus on family, myself and my house. What i feel is happening now is my life some how always gets consumed on work. Which is fine at times but is not good all of the time. I do enjoy every moment that i spend with my family i would not trade it for anything but training has been neglated for the past 2 weeks. What is strange is that there is this little voice that keeps on telling me that i need to make a choice and that i cannot work in an office and be a pilates instructor at the same time. I have fested years of my life in business and insurance fields...now there is a voice telling me that i must choose? The thing that is bothering me the commitment and the sacfice that i will have to make in taking such a large step out of my normal comfort zone. I also know that me choosing to become certified is something that is going to take alot of hard work for me to master. To be honest i do not know why i am questioning myself...i have been blessed with this opportunity and i do not want it to slip away. but in the meantime I am trying to work in order to make myself comfortable in the meantime. for some reason I am finding it hard to acheive balance...at the present. I am being torn between the two as if it was a vicious love triangle.

I would like to tale this opportunity...
to thank you all for your advice...you are so wonderful. Sometimes you need friends that are going through, or have been through similar situations to help you look at it from a different point of view. As we know when we are going through trials and tribulations we tend to sometimes not think very straight cause we are too close to the situation. Once we can see it from another persons point of view...most times it becomes clear

Hello friends...happy new year
Greetings to all my friends here in perfspot!! I made up my mind at the ending of last year that this year was not going to be the same. Old habits that have out lasted there use...were going to be banished. Change was in order for me to live a healthy and balanced life. I had to learn acceptence instead of trying to forgive and not get anywhere. I had to take the bull by the horns and regain control of my life as well as emotions...sometimes we do not realize how out of touch we are within until we allow ourselves to look and think outside the box. To see ourselves as we would one of our friends in toxic situations. I have quite smoking, don't really do the drinking thing too much any more...i feel really good about myself an what direction I am going in. I am working on strengthening the bond between my children, family an friends. I have been meditating every day...learning how to ground an balance myself out again. Finding myself instead of being lost in the confusion in which I thought was my so called life.

Clearing Away the Clutter
My boyfriend is away in texas doing a training course which is great because it has given me time for me an my kids. I clean the house it stays clean...I ask the kids to do something it gets done. Balance is finally coming back into the picture. Mind you at the present moment I have my house pulled apart but I am clearing out the clutter. Getting ready to organize. It just feels so good to be making some head way...this is the first time I have been able to do so in 3 1/2 years. It seems like a life time. Just the clearing of space alone has made the world of difference. Everything has a place and that is the place it is in. My kids are even starting to clean up!! How great is that? I feel appreciated, loved and cherished for they have always accepted me for the way I am whether I was organized and on top of things or I was a total mess and full of stress.

My Week In Review
Mmmm, where do I begin...some days have been a little hetic while others have been a walk in the park. As I said before I made up my mind that this is going to be a stress free year. I have been meditating both morning before I get out of bed and before I go to sleep just so that I can reflect upon the days events and free my mind of the events that occured. I have this friend lets call him "Willis" we have been friends for over 15 years basically they are going through a bit of a rough patch. Its weird that you can try to help a person but unless they want help you cannot do any more for them. So I learnt something very valuable and that was to not attach my self to anyone elses situation for it is not my own. It is there burden and stress to carry. Ultimately, with or without my input they are going to do what is best for them at the time. I cannot take responsibility for their actions I am only accountable for mine and mine alone. It seemed harsh to me at first to take this type of attitude towards one of my beloved friends but I had to do so. The more we talked the less they listened...so I put it to them like this if they cannot take off the rose colored glasses to see the situation for what it is I cannot be expected to consitently listen to the same problem over an over when it is a solution to it but you just do not want to adhere to the warning signs right before your eyes. That had taken up a large part of my week until I put it to rest. I also had a few odd phone calls...I do not know if it is because mercury is in transit or what. Its as if everyone wants an reaction or nothing at all. I haven't really did any running, pilates or yoga lately. Which is a shame, but I have been eating really healthy. Starting to add more beans and lentils to our diet. Have learned that kids will eat raw vegetables and hummus you just have to lay them in a tray and let them munch away! I will make a commitment to get up and exercise. I think I am just going to close my eyes and pick a date within February an commit to do it on that day. This is not to say that I will not start before but that is the day I will be serious. Ok February 8 is the day...funny my daughter goes 2 on the 10th. I got offered a job a few days ago!!! Which is great...I had been looking for a long time for such a position. I am greatful and feel blessed to have been given such an opportunity. One of my friends have been trying to hog all my time for themselves...with no consideration as to the fact that I have kids or life outside of them...sometimes you have to learn when to say no...even if a power struggle occurs...aint no way im going to do anything I do not want too. They are just as stubborn...like whipping two dead horses. I also went to the museum an saw the inuit art, african affinites an a tribute to byllee lang. I took my soon to be 2 year old...i really enjoyed it. So did she...there was so much to see. I was suprized to see that there was so many works of art done by local artists. What I went there to see was a mother and child statue its inuit art...breathtaking. There was tapestry, carvings made out of whale bone, wood, ivory, tusks, seal skin and gut...its amazing.
