If you could be anything in the world what would you be? Are you happy with your choice? Did you always want to be what you chose? What is your passion? Do you love what you do? If you answered yes to some of these questions than you are very lucky. You followed your dream. You went out there and your pursued your happiness. You made it and you should be very proud.

For a long time I was doing jobs that were just jobs. I became a Mom and that was the greatest and hardest job there is. I love it and I would not want change it for all the money in the world. I finally did it in 2006 I became an author. I wrote my first book. It was a children’s book than thirteen years later I wrote a novel and then another. I did this all on my own. I did not ask for help or any money. I am doing what I love. I am grateful that I followed my passion.

One thing I will say do not ever be a dream crusher. DO NOT ever tell someone that they cannot do something. It is like stabbing them in the heart. Always encourage someone to follow their dreams and be what they want to be. Do not be a road blocker.

Get our there and do what you want to do. More importantly, believe in yourself. What are you waiting for your dreams are calling.

Now onto the next life lesson.

I think it is so important to have faith especially during these crazy times. I think that if you believe enough good things could happen. If you hang onto negativity than it will always be around you. Of course you have the right to be upset but remember the good things in life. Take into account all the things you have to be grateful for. If you have past mistakes leave them in the past. If you let them follow you it will eat you up inside. There is always something to look forward to and something to smile about. Having faith in life is something we all need to have. God is good and he needs us to believe that everything will work out. Believe it and will happen. Believe in the good things in life and never lose faith. Do you have faith? Do you think positive? How do you feel when you wake up each day? Are you smiling? Are you happy? What makes you happy? Every day think about three things that make you happy and each day add one more thing. Before you know it the good will out weigh the bad. You will create your own positive energy. You will create your own happiness and you will have faith again. This is priceless. You cannot put a price on happiness. Now onto the next life lesson.

Anyone come here and make something of themselves. This is what makes this country great. It is the land of opportunity. If you work hard you will accomplish your dream. I remember taking a trip to Ellis Island and I saw my Grandfather’s name on the wall. I have a picture of it somewhere. He came here and made something of himself. He had a dream and he did it. So many came here with a dream. You will make it because there are so many that need you to make that happen. If you believe and work hard than you will. I love my country. I pray for our country. Please do not kill the American Dream. God is good and he is here. Pray if you have to the more we pray the more we will see good things. Good things come to those who wait. Do you know someone that came here and made it big? Do you know someone that came to Ellis Island? I am sure you do. It could have been your parents, grandparents, or whoever and because of them this is why we can make dreams come true. Now onto the next life lesson.

Do you take care of yourself? Do you go to the doctor for check ups? Are you eating right? If you answered yes than you are on the right path. If you have never been to the doctor and you do not eat right than you are headed for trouble. We only have one body and one life to live. You should take care of it. You can have a treat once in awhile. Eat your junk in moderation or do not buy it. Replace it with healthy snacks. Do you exercise? It is so important to exercise. You can go out for a walk or go on a treadmill. I hope you do take care of yourself. You will feel better about your self. You will appear healthier. If you eat right, get the right amount of rest and exercise you will feel good. It is common sense. Be healthy and you will be a better person. Thank you for reading my blog.

Do you have a lot of friends? Do you trust everyone you are friends with? Do you enjoy spending time with friends? I have to say that I have some very good friends. I do not have a ton of friends. I also do not need a ton of friends. I trust my handful of friends and that is exactly how I want it. I do not need to have the latest of everything, I do not need to do what every once else is doing. I need to feel loved, safe, and respected. If I do not feel any of those things than I have not found a true friend. I have had certain friends for many years. Some come and go some stay by your side. It is okay if they go I understand. However, I have wondered why. I guess life gets in the way. I cherish the friends I do have. I hope they cherish my friendship. I would think they do. I am blessed with who has chosen me to be their friend. Thank you for your friendship. Do you have a best friend? I have a best friend . She is the best that is why she is my best friend. If you have someone that you can always count on and that is loyal and trustworthy hang on to them they are worth more than gold. I want to thank my handful of friends and you know who you are. J,S, KR,KW,KM,TDA,RT and all my Dean friends you know who you are. Now onto the next life lesson.

Do you offer solutions or cause problems? Are you a good listener? Do you find solutions quickly? If you are a problem solver than you are someone who gets answers quickly. There is always a solution to a problem you just have to find it. Someone once said, they like to solve problems to make things better. For example, if something goes wrong for a guest at a hotel you make them happy and you solve the problem. If we all stop and think the world would be a better place. We need to find solutions. We need to say I have a solution not a problem. Making someone happy is something they will not forget. Someone will always remember that you found the solution. You made it better. Congratulations problem solvers. I think we have some winners. Think about being a problem solver. Now onto the next life lesson.

I want to say how proud I am of my oldest daughter. She is really becoming a fine young lady. She has made so much progress in school and she has come a very long way. If you have a child with special needs than you know what an IEP is. This is a document that allows my daughter to get the help that she needs. Now every child is different. She is very independent in a lot of ways. She just happens to have characteristics of being on the spectrum. There are many of us that are under the spectrum in some way. Yesterday was her last IEP. I am so proud of how eloquently she spoke. It felt so good to know that now she is moving on and going to start a new chapter after graduation. I am so blessed to have such an amazing daughter.

All of these kids are amazing and deserve a chance in life. I wish there were more opportunities for them. I know my daughter will make good choices in life. I think she has a gift inside of her. I think she finally figured it out.

Think about how important information is. How important is it to listen? How important is it to know what is going on around you? Of course it is very important. How would you know what to do if you did not listen or understand? It is so important to follow instruction and listen carefully. What if you miss an important deadline? Imagine someone gets hurt and sues you? Now that will get your attention. Money always gets people attention. We need to pay attention in life and understand the rules. If we don’t there could be problems. We should all be excellent listeners. We should all follow what we learned in kindergarten. The teachers are right we will miss something important if we do not listen. What have you missed in your life because you were unsure? I am sure we all have. Thank you for reading my blog.

Do you know anyone who seems fake? Do you know anyone that pretends to be your friend? Have you ever been stabbed in the back? I am sure we have all been in this position. What do you you do about it? How do you handle it? Maybe you just tell the person you do not want to be friends or you can call them out. You can tell them you know what they are up to and that it will not do any good because you will not let it. How about the ones that YOU know are bad news and yet they creep into your life. I will not allow that to happen. I have my circle of friends and I am pretty careful about who I tell things to. Please be careful out there. People can be tricky. When you do find a gem hold onto them for dear life. I have a few gems and I am lucky and I thank God that I do. I am blessed and grateful. Watch out for people that are no good. There are users out there too and selfish people too. Stay away from ALL of them Thank you for reading my blog. Now onto the next life lesson.

When something doesn’t feel right it’s probably not right. Always go with your gut. If you feel something is wrong it probably is. When our gut tells us something we should listen.

Do you follow your gut? Do you trust your instincts? Have you ever been faced with a scary situation?

We could always use our gut. Our instincts kick in when we feel uncomfortable. We need to be vigilant and on guard at all times. Especially in these crazy times.

I pray things get better and they will everything just takes time. If you are good and patient things fall into place.

Good things come to those who wait. Always have faith and believe in God.
