So I started this Blog today- http://triplestrengthdose.blogspot.com/- this can help me keep my thoughts down. It's another outlet - but would go hand in hand with my book. My lovely dear god-mother and aunt sent me an inspirational e-mail from this website - www.dailyom.com. It reads:

The Miracle of Change
Boredom

The feeling of boredom is often misunderstood and can actually mean we need to look under the layers for change.

Sometimes we feel that things aren't moving along fast enough for us and that the world is passing us by. It may be that time seems to stand still and that we are simply bystanders in our own lives. Other times it might appear that there is nothing new left for us to experience and that we are locked into a never-ending cycle of stasis. If we take the time to listen to these feelings we will notice that there is probably more going on beneath the surface, like our apprehension to venture out into the unknown. By taking a new look at how we live our lives, however, it will be easier to break through our sense of boredom and enter into a more positive state of being.

When life seems monotonous, it is usually an indication that there is something we need to change. Boredom can easily lead us down the path to despondency. Acknowledging our feelings and then setting the intention to alter just one small thing in our life can give us a much more affirmative outlook. This act of change allows us to step outside of ourselves and discover new and exciting things that are often already present in our everyday lives. Simple things such as eating a healthier diet, taking a new class, or joining a club are all ways in which we can go beyond our comfort zone and explore the wonders that exist all around us. Keep in mind that the moment we do something different from our usual routine, the more fresh energy, hope, and blessings we will manifest in our life. What this means is that we'll no longer see things as being tedious but will instead realize the preciousness of everything.

Being able to integrate these subtle changes on a daily basis allows us to recognize the miracles that are our lives. Even though we may think of change as doing something life-altering or drastic, gentle transitions from our habitual ways of doing things and an appreciation of all life offers us will truly bring about positive and lasting transformation.

This is so awesome that she sends me this link as I'm more inspired to keep writing about life. This is exactly what I want to write about; my perspective on life, etc. Is this classified as philosophy?

Side Note about my day: So I'm at work, and I get bad news... then 5 minutes later and I get good news. There will always be good or great opportunities after bad news. When one door closes, another one opens. Keep it positive always. There is power in positivity. And what's wrong with complimenting someone on their accomplishments no matter how small or how large? You shouldn't worry about what anyone thinks or says that's negative. Just shrug off negative vibes and ignorant comments and keep it moving. By the way, I know I haven’t mentioned this yet, but my current position is a health care recruiter (8 years). Also, I’m a licensed freelance cosmetologist on the side. I currently take guitar lessons as well – still in beginner mode – I want to sing and play as many songs as I can learn.

I just finished practicing Waterfalls (TLC), Hey Soul Sista (Train), and Feliz Navidad on the guitar...I feel like I'm freeing my soul when I play. It feels great!
