Trusting someone is one of the most difficult things to do. At least in my experience it is. Especially when you’ve been burned over and over, after believing the best in people; constantly being let down. It really makes you jaded and have a tough time opening up again and trusting. I’ve struggled with this most of my adult life. Being completely honest seems to be also tough for a lot of people to do. Why does our brains immediately jump to a lie when given the opportunity to tell the truth? I think it stems from childhood. Every younger child generally lies because they are afraid of getti ..read more

Motivation and being motivated is a tough topic, because I think it’s something we all struggle with. How many people are motivated at the end of December to get gym memberships come January 1st, only to go a few times, fall off the wagon, and go “Oh well, I had good intentions.”? Come on, let’s be honest. The reason we plan to go to the gym in January, is so that we can eat like pigs the entire month of December (it’s not normal to eat that much cheese!) and console ourselves by saying we’re going to work it off in January. Am I right? Digging into the word motivation, as per good ol’ Wikipe ..read more

Personal growth is a hot topic these days. More people are searching for ways to grow themselves than ever before. For me, it’s always been a path I’ve been on. Ever since I was a kid. I’ve always been super driven to succeed at anything I try. I remember my mom telling me well into my teen years that when I was a toddler trying to do a board puzzle, if I couldn’t get the piece to fit just right, I would sit there and yell at it and cry, but refused to stop until I completed it. It’s interesting how the thought process in small things like that, shape who we become as adults. I’ve always been ..read more

Today I wanted to talk about fear. The current Coronavirus situation has a lot of people feeling afraid. People fear running out of supplies and are stock piling them. There is fear of other people, so guns and ammunition are being stock piled. There is fear of what is going to happen, and many other things being feared. Panic is everywhere. So how do we deal with it? The world going into panic isn’t going to help the situation.. it makes it worse. I know it’s easier said than done, but I’m saying it. I personally believe that everything is going to be okay, because God is in control of the s ..read more

I chose this as the name for my blog because life is all about taking whatever lemons you have and making lemonade with them. There is so much we can’t control, but what we CAN control is our attitudes about our circumstances. We can let life beat us down, and allow our minds to be filled with negativity- and believe me, I know how easy that is.. we live in a world full of negativity! Or, we can choose to focus on the positive, despite our negative circumstances. Whenever something seems to go wrong and one of my kids is upset about it and they have absolutely no control over it, I ask them ..read more
