"May the strength of God pilot us. May the power of God preserve us. May the wisdom of God instruct us. May the hand of God protect us. May the way of God direct us. May the shield of God defend us. May the host of God guard us. Against the snares of the evil ones, against temptations of the world. May Christ be with us! May Christ be before us! May Christ be in us, Christ be over all! May thy salvation, Lord, always be ours, this day, O Lord, and evermore. Amen." Happy St. Patrick's Day!

"Why birthdays are important? They acknowledge our steps along the road we call life. They let us savour the joy; yet again. They inspire laughter and shenanigans. They embrace pageantry and tradition. They ask us to close our eyes and make a wish for the future." ~ Tiffany and Co. 5 years old vs. 46 years old Today marks day #1 to the countdown to 46.

I travel… “...because I want to learn in a classroom called world.” "...because the world has so much to offer.” "...to avoid monotony.” "...because it makes me happy.” “...to discover just how far I can go.” “...to challenge myself.” "...to explore, experience and be inspired.” “...to find some bits of me and life on the road.” “...because it completes me. ” “...to experience life itself.” “...to experience life in different ways.” “...because I want to.” “...to capture memories of this journey called life.” “...because of photography, capturing the beauty of a place in a single frame.” “...because I can.” “...just coz.” “...to encourage people to travel too.” “...because it’s fun.” “...because I want to be inspired.” “...to discover because I want to share what’s out there.” “...because I wanna experience more.” “...to both lose and find pieces of myself.” “...because it’s the only cure to my self-diagnosed disease called compulsive travel syndrome.” “...because it makes me happy thus; happiness is my reason.” “...to learn and experience the things that make one place unique among others.” “...to learn more and to find missing pieces of myself.” “...because I just love exploring places.” “...to be the fairies and pirates of our childhood storybooks.” “...to escape.” “...to experience and understand.” “...to have fun.” “...because it feeds my soul.” “...to enjoy life and savor God’s wonderful creations.” Travel on my mind.

"Some hats can only be worn if you're willing to be jaunty, to set them at an angle and to walk beneath them with a spring in your stride as if you're only a step away from dancing.

It’s Time for Women to STOP Worrying About Being “Too Much” We are living in a time when women are rising to new heights which means they are regularly being confronted with the fear of being "too much". For women in business this is pervasive and costly. A few ways women can be perceived as "too much" re: speaking up about their successes and achievements. "Sharing one too many photos of their cute kids." "Telling one too many people about that date night." "Looking a little too good in that swimsuit." These can lead to being publicly attacked on social media or privately slandered which in turn leads to women dimming their light and walking on egg shells in hopes of avoiding conflict and judgement. The minute a woman feels it's unsafe to shine she will begin to overthink, worry, and fear how she shows up in the world. Women are afraid of being criticized, ostracized, and abandoned by other women for simply being who they are. Five ways to release the fear of being "too much": 1. Approve of yourself. 2. Connect deeply to those you serve. 3. Remember the legacy you wish to leave. 4. Forgive those who have been unsupportive in the past. 5. Be part a community of bright, successful women. 6. Accept you can have it all. 7. Celebrate everything! May you be a woman who chooses to shine so that others may be reminded of all they can be and do. ~ Adriana Monique Alvarez #2020thoughts #timetostop #dontdullmyshine #liveyourbestlife #yournottoomuch #celebrateeverything https://www.instagram.com/p/B7yYJ92l1rbn1WGrQVwFC57LbbE21XxRD6V6E40/?igshid=1j5v59qp82s9i

"Life is stunningly short and it is eggshell fragile. Most people are having a really tough time. They are almost always in more pain than you think they are. Everyone is doing the very best they can to get through this day, and many are going through all manner of horrors in the process. No one is immune from the invasive collateral damage of living. And you don’t have to save these people or fix them or give them any special treatment. They are rarely asking for such things. The thing these wounded and weary human beings most need from you as you share this space with them—is FOR YOU NOT TO BE A JERK. It’s really that simple. They need you to NOT contribute to their grieving,  NOT to compound their sadness, NOT to amplify their fear, NOT to add to their adversity. They NEED anything less than contempt from you. They NEED you to embrace the vow of doctors and caregivers, of trying to do no harm to them. This isn’t difficult, either. Actually, when it comes right down to it, not being a jerk is about as elementary as it gets: ☆DON'T impose your religious beliefs on other people. ☆DON'T demand that they adapt to your preferences of identity or orientation. ☆DON'T to take away things that keep them physically healthy or give them peace of mind or allow them access to education or opportunity. ☆DON'T put obstacles in a parent’s way of caring for their children or working to support them or guiding them safely into adulthood. ☆DON'T tell people who they can marry or how they should worship or where they can call home. ☆DON'T do things that make them more vulnerable to sickness and sadness and stress. ☆DON'T to keep people from having things that you take for granted. Remember this: Life is short. It is extremely fragile. People are grieving. They are struggling. They are hurting. For God’s sake and for their, DON'T BE A JERK." ~ John Pavlovitz  #dontbeajerk #2020thoughts #lifeisshort https://www.instagram.com/p/B74F8XSloMiXDufvmPnuUO_YQ_fLhi0_Dys3P80/?igshid=almgqb6r9tmy

"An Energy Vampire is an individual who boosts their own energy by taking energy from others by means of an argument, belittlement, criticism or other one-sided conversation." ~ Urban Dictionary How to STOP an Energy Vampire "STOP spending time with people that never have anything nice to say about you, never compliment you but always criticize you. STOP spending time with people who lower your self-esteem and sense of self-worth. STOP spending time with people who are never happy for you. STOP spending time with people who are always one-upping your accomplishments and your failures. STOP spending time with people who always think they have it better (or worse) than you. STOP spending time with people who tease you over things you’re passionate about. STOP spending time with people who expect your hobbies and opinions to match their own. STOP spending time with people who look down on you or act like they’re better than you. STOP spending time with people who brag about how much harder their their life is. STOP spending time with people who talk without taking the time to listen. STOP spending time with people who get pissed off the second you put yourself first. STOP spending time with people who guilt trip you into giving them what they want, who act like you owe them something. STOP spending time with people who are selfish and manipulative, who couldn’t care less about what you’re going through unless it impacts them in some way. STOP spending time with people who only want you around when they need you and ignore you the rest of the time. STOP spending time with people who believe the world revolves around them. STOP spending time with people who ruin your good mood or bring unnecessary drama into your life. STOP spending time with people you honestly don’t want to be around anymore. As much as you love certain friends and family members, don't keep them around if it means harming your mental health. STOP spending time with people who deplete your energy, your confidence, and your happiness." ~ Holly Riordan #2020thoughts #stop #energy #vampire #vampires #energyvampires #howtostop https://www.instagram.com/p/B8tl27zF0nEq33zF6sVrEmZKtr4bHseIHBhwxQ0/?igshid=4j9zhm5sgkfx
