I’m sitting here on a Friday night, drinking a glass of bold red wine, and wanting to write a personal blog post on the website. Sometimes I feel a real struggle writing; still feel like my words are not good enough to inspire millions, let alone 3 people. But the thing is, I WANT to do it. I feel the pull, the deep desire to write, to share, and to help as many people as possible. And that’s what keeps me coming back every day, even if it’s just to sit at the computer and stare blankly at it for an hour. I made the decision I’m going to write this post from my heart and I’m not going to have anyone proof read it before I post it. This is me, in the raw and unfiltered, unedited by anyone else :) 

I have been reading Tony Robbins’ book Awaken the Giant Within this past week and it is sparking my love and passion on a deeper level. The concept which he talks about in the beginning of the book that sticks most in my mind like glue right now is Raising Your Standards. On a basic level, my whole life I have had a house to live in, my own bed to sleep in, and food to eat every single day. I come from a middle income family, some years it was lower middle income, other years it was higher middle income. I have a general idea of what it feels like to have my basic needs met and a few extra frivolous things once in awhile. Currently, I’ve been experiencing living with a lot less money than I’ve grown up with. There have been some weeks that we had to get creative with how many meals can we make with six dollars – not even kidding – two boxes of spaghetti, one jar of red sauce, and one jar of alfredo sauce.
