Everyday is special...yet there are days that makes it much more celebrated. It is Christmas time and asking ourselves of the strength of our faith is very timely and appropriate...and this is that time of the year where we are connecting deeper and genuinely to each other. I thank God for Christ was born and I have Christmas to celebrate his birthday. This is my favorite time of the year and I am so blessed to celebrate it with happy and healthy body and mind.

LIVE FREE AND HAPPY!
Yes,many things has happened and I went thru many crying nights...and happier days yet I was not writing it just because i was living it. I have a little bit of time now and little snippets of what gathered my strength from those many days of weakness and surviving with great hurrah is listed below.
1. Once you asked God for help...TRUST
Better stop reeling your brain in how to go about it, too much, in details...He is faithful and will be there to to help.
2. Once you have given your deepest concern to HIM...Let it go.
You have given it to HIM so why be sitting on it? Let God do his job and do yours accordingly. So stop worrying.
3. Be prayerful, hopeful and forgiving
Love is truly the answer.
4. Take care of yourself in the middle of the storm
So when the 'fox' (problems/worries) tries to eat you up.....it can't.
5. Believe
In the good ...and the best is yet to come. Make your every new day your very best day. Who is going to give that great good day to us but ourselves ? Believe that all these trials shall pass and shall be forgotten...and survived.
6. Feel the pain...but stop yourself from bleeding.
It is all in the reaction to what is presented to us...not the actual reality of what could it be. It is how we carry it and solve or resolve the concern which makes us wiser, stronger and pass this test with much less grief, quickly.
7. Love yourself first
...and anything that bothers you or concerns you is easier to tackle...because you are loved by yourself that you have become focus and deliberate in your attack and resolutions to all that ails your everyday living.
8. CUT the dead limbs... release that lagan of your buoy... stop the dripping poison
Stay afloat...be free and be real to yourself and all the people that truly concerns you. If you stay true to your personal being and authentic to what you need, you will be a genuine survivor and winner to all life's obstacles.Get rid of or avoid what does not work...and hurt...and anything that tries to kill your spirit.

Your Lifestyle...FALSE IMAGE OR REAL YOU?
Okey, I am really getting tired of this recession and too much spending accusation that's going on everybody's life. Let's just face it that most people now live in what we call "progressive" way of living. I buy a new smartphone just because there is something new...nothing wrong with what I have yet I get suck into buying and owning the newest gadget. Reasons of course could be from THAT "I can afford it" to "I am cool and it's just what's expected of my image".
Lifestyle (sociology), the way a person lives to one's own ability
as I seriously looked at it's meaning ...it just made me cringe knowing that it is most wrongly practiced by the jobless, students or family that are struggling in paying their bills.What is it that makes the wearing of branded clothing and owning the latest makes it okey being more acceptable and a magnet for friends and admiration? Why is it such a barometer of who and what the person can be? Why are we buying these stuff to be happy, feel happy and look happy?
Let us go to the second hand shops or the car wreckers lot....and look at all and everything we can see in there. Let us look at them as if they were still new....those now unwanted, old and used or broken things were once somebody's dream. These just becomes a file of junk in time. Yes, nothing stays forever in terms of these tangible items so why build your hopes and ruin your finances pursuing them haphazardly? Why not be happy with what we have that works and enjoy it longer before discarding them. Whys not build your love for the person you want to buy the car for before spoiling them with material goods. Wouldn't it be better to build your pennies in a jar(money in your bank)? Celebrate the rise of your coins and be not scared in spending because you won't owe anybody.
Let us go back to some commonsense way of life. These here will be a some common sense way to start over again.
Clothing...shoes and bags
1. Used it until you change your size, your job or your age ( to be appropriate)
2. Learn to repair
3. Buy second hand...and sell your used,unneeded clothes and accessories
4. Learn to love what you have and wear/ use it.
5. Accept used clothes when given/gifted.
6. Fix it, fix it fix it and use it.
7. If its' too much...to bear...to keep...to maintain...DONATE or Sell.
Transportation
1. Lease
2. Buys preloved cars with certificates
3. Use the public transportation as much as you can or better walk if not too far.
4. Ask friends to lend you a hand when you need to pick up bigger items or needed to go elsewhere.
5. Biking is a healthy way to go around the city.
Food
1. Buy on sales
2. Cook just the right amount or less.
3. Eat raw or fresh...it's quicker
There are so many online information....but we still have to be reminded as we always go back to being a spoiled brat and forgetting how it feels having more money in the pocket,more love ones without paying for their attention, better sleep because there are no unpaid/exorbitant bills to be looked into in the next mail.
The can afford image only works for the really rich and Hollywood actors whose got millions to pay for it. Wake ups friends...start shopping in your closets and clean up your bikes and sneakers...we can afford these in our wiser tighter ways.

Giving and Clearing for my Prosperity
I am making so many adjustments on my way to a more improved and wiser me. This massive clean up at home is taking a toll on my social life yet it's worth it. I have been so focus on beautifying and editing my material possessions and it made me realize how so deep in doodoo,am I, in terms of organization. I am so confuse and needs much more effective strategy than what I know now.
I started( and still doing it) with donating,throwing and stopped buying stuff. I have more in the storage that needed to be thrown not kept. I found so many vhs,a couple of skateboards, shoes(LOTS), curtains,blankets and fabrics etc..
I am selling some, wearing some and giving away most. WOW! I truly enjoy more space and freedom.Just imagine yesterday I went to see some shoes on sale but did not buy any and when i went home and visited my storage, my shopping was fulfilled. I have about 5 more summer slip on and sandals that are barely used and new. This wardrobe shopping within the home always works. I found about 7 towels so i have to get rid and send those back home. I found out that I have so many that I am sending and giving away those over 3 yrs old nice ones that is not my taste or size anymore. Really have to look at each one of them and realize..."geeesh, I don't wear this anymore, I like bigger baggier ones now that those fitted shirts".
It is so good to be able to finally(...and ongoing) clearing a lot of stuff that made my home feels like a chaos more than a place to retire and feel peaceful and serene. I know this yet I was not doing my best and I know that more now that I have seen tons of stuff get out of my door.
I remember when I was new here and don't have anything. It started with filling up and buying items i needed at home then it went from need to want. I, surely know how to constrict my shopping habit but was hard to pass up a bargain or a sale. NOW...these sales are not making me budge to shell out my hard-earned money.
I have most of what an average single mom has to survive and thrive and more. I would shop seasonally only when needed especially for kids. My walking to work everyday and cooking at home saves me some cash. My kids' wearing uniform is a big plus and that they don't succumb to trends. My son don't buy games instead they play online freegames and we don't watch movie at the theater as often anymore. We watch free movies online.
I seriously looked at my situation and work out a sweat on managing it more intelligently. My disorganization is something I am trying to work on (forever...) and hoping to leave behind with all those mess I threw out in the trash. Reminding myself often that it is not going to kill me if I just let it go. It is a journey and falling back is easy but seeing what it depressingly does to me is a good teacher and compass to get me on track. Yes, drastic change for me is good because I am so tired and ashamed of acting like a turtle bumping around those unnecessary, unloved and unneeded materials that is blocking my own prosperity road. Come to think of it I don't have to stay home anymore just to keep on cleaning..and that is enough reward for good ol' me.

Once in while , i try my luck with these lotteries...very seldom yet after knowing these trickery from the organizers, I will not want to spend my dollars with these type of raffles.
