Making Life Rock

I was thinking the other day about what it's like to have a wonderful experience in a store or restaurant as opposed to a not-so-good one. You know them both well, I'm sure.

If you want something different, do something different...anything. Color your hair; change your bedtime to an hour earlier; don't let that bully at work push you around anymore. Change takes action - not that same old action that you've been taking though.

There aren't too many women out there who could say that they didn't need something, whether it be clothes, kitchen utensils, a man, a job, a car; it's human nature to expand their list of possessions.

Acknowledging even the smallest of gestures sent forth into our experience is one of the most satisfying things you can do. We've all heard the saying "stop and smell the roses."

Happiness, Love, Financial Abundance, Health - all things that most women want in their lives, but what about the details? How do you know what job or mate is best for you? How do you know when it's time to do something different?

First of all, when you create, you take a chance that other people won't like your creation. You might get ridiculed for it, or even be hated. They might never speak to you again...or visit your blog.

I try to expand my personal blog roll every week by adding some interesting women's blogs. I've come across several that I think you will find either inspiring or informative as well.

What is stressful to me may not be to you and visa-versa. That is why you always think Aunt Mary is overreacting when the family arrives at her home late for dinner.

OK, just so we get this straight, I never promised you a rose garden. Redoing or using a second chance to make something right isn't always full-proof. It could take several.

It's one thing to come up with a great plan to lead you to victory, but it's another to work that plan and keep it a priority. Being accountable to another person or group of people is one way to increase your chances of success.
