I usually like to blog as soon as the month begins but for September 2022 I took my sweet, sweeeeeet time!

What an amazing month this has been in so many ways!

For starters, I learned how to slow down and appreciate each moment because sometimes I would catch myself rushing and then later realize that it would bring down my mood. Now, I remind myself that I am exactly where I need to be. "I am always at the perfect place at the perfect time." This has been a game changer for me! 

I relish in the beautiful "now", it feels great to be able to shift my thoughts and direct my attention to things that I can enjoy in the "now".

This has been such a transformational month for me and it allowed me to grow into a better version of myself.

My mother once found a quote online, she printed it a gave it to me...it said "Persistence is the reliable path to whatever it is you seek." It is so true because to achieve this new way of being my dedication, consistency and persistence made it possible. 

I also recently discovered "The Soft Life" which isssss AMAZING! When I googled its definition this is what came up: "A soft life means no longer feeling guilty about prioritizing a life that makes you feel happy."

It was like an "AH-HA!" moment for me and I immediately began to create a lifestyle that truly makes me happy. 
If I use the internet or social media, I look at things that make me happy, I watch personal development videos on YouTube,  I eat healthier foods, I stretch my body, I drink more water thanks to my thermos bottles and I allow myself to rest and take naps when I feel like it.

To find out more about what the "Soft Life" is, you can check out this INCREDIBLE blog article over at XONecole.

This month is and will be filled with incredible blessings, amazing miracles, love, fun, joy, adventures, romance, wonderful family moments, great health, peace, financial abundance, success and immaculate self care.

Lots of Love!

What is Personal Development?

Here is the answer according to Wikipedia:

"Personal development or self improvement consists of activities that develop a person's capabilities and potential, build human capital, facilitate employability, and enhance quality of life and the realization of dreams and aspirations."

The above mentioned word "activities" means to take consistent actions that are aligned with what you want to accomplish. Once you take action and you change the way you think, your life will change. Your mind and your habits go hand in hand to get what you want out of life.

If your goal is better health, you will have to perform daily "activities" like eating better, being more relaxed and exercising.

If you want to be a happy person everyday, then you will have to be more grateful and thankful as much as you can. Start being grateful for the little things in your life, the air you breathe, the food you eat, the family that you have. Happiness is a choice.

I want you to know that you have amazing capabilities and your life can drastically change once you decide to change the way you think. YouTube is an incredible tool to get started, especially if you do not know anyone who is uplifting. A positive mindset is the necessary foundation to get what you want.

Think highly of yourself by affirming these daily:
"I am amazing"
"I am so smart"
"Amazing opportunities come to me easily and effortlessly"
"I am getting better and better"
"I love my body" 
"I have a successful business / career"

You can create your own affirmations but they key is to take action and to be consistent!

I will post more on personal development.

Lots of love,

Hey Beautiful People!

I want to share a simple moment that changed my life for the better.

A few years back around 2011, I asked my uncle Paul this question: "How are you happy every day?"
 
He stood up from his chair and he said: "I choose to be happy every day."

When he said that, I was almost shocked at myself for not knowing this. I didn't know that happiness what a choice back then and I had no idea that I could be 100% control of my very own happiness.

I wasn't too sure how to start but I knew I had to do a lot of reading and research (which I love to do!) I felt excited about the new journey to explore new experiences. I looked up Youtube inspirational videos and I would watch them almost every day. I took online courses and listened to many audio books on personal development.

I started to eat better foods and I learned more about haircare and skincare.  I also treated myself to what I wanted to eat when I wanted too. 

I started to get back into the hobbies that I always loved and enjoyed. I started rollerblading then I learned how to roller skate again. I also leaned how to rest and relax more. 

I hope this helps you in anyway! 

Lots of love,

XOXO

2022 is officially here!

I am full of gratitude and thankfulness for this incredible, blessed, healthy, abundant, fun, delicious, exciting New Year!

About 2 years ago I learned that I am the one who declares the kind of experiences that I want to have.

Every day, I pay attention to how I feel and what I think about. By doing this over time, my life is now MIRACULOUS in so many ways!

How? 

I start my day by being thankful for another beautiful day, I also appreciate the weather and nature.

I talk and think about what I want. I stopped talking about what I didn't want.

I keep my home clean, organized and I play beautiful music through the house...Zeek loves it!

I avoid drama or things that are overly negative.

I trust my instincts and my inner being.

I watch inspirational and motivational videos on youtube.

I meditate and I daydream about things that I want. 

I willingly choose to be more patient with myself and others.

I forgive myself immediately for my mistakes and I apologize openly.

I read and listen inspirational audio books.

I try things that are fun and new...basically I let my inner child play.

I eat healthier and I drink more water.

I treat myself to delicious desserts and treats when I feel like it.

I rest when I feel like resting.

I choose to be more playful and curious.

I am patient with myself and I allow myself to enjoy each moment.

I know for sure that what I want is coming to me with ease.

I allow myself to evolve and grow into a better version of myself.

There is soooo much more but so far this is what came to my mind. If you guys want more I do have an ebook with more details that you can purchase here

I hope you all have an incredible year!

Cheers!

Lots of love,

XOXO

Fall is here! Time for some Family Fun and Apple Picking!

Zeek, my nephews, my sister and I went Apple Picking and we truly had an amazing time. There were so many ripe apples to choose from. Our bags quickly filled up lol. I blogged last year about this incredible Family Farm and it is called Alstede Farms. They are located in New Jersey and honestly it is truly worth visiting.

This year they added more kids activities including 2 medium sized bouncy houses, which the boys LOVED lol!
Once they finished their bounce play, my sister and I took them for horse rides. Zeek and my nephews really loved that, the smiles on their faces when they got off of their horses was priceless. Finally it was time to pick some sweet, crisp apples and fresh veggies! The boys were super excited to pick their own fruits, we started to eat our fresh picked apples while we picked more apples lol. Sooooo delicious..and fun!!!! The Farm has many different varieties of Apples, Pears, Raspberries and more.

I truly loved seeing the boys' faces light up as they smiled, laughed, ate their apples and played through the fields. After our apple picking (and eating lol) we decided to take the Farm's Hay Ride which can pick you up or drop you off around the vast acres of Farm Land. We got off the Hay Ride for eggplants and corn and the boys loved that too! We all did lol...We decided to take another Hay Ride and we saw more gorgeous grounds, happy healthy farm animals and all of the lush vegetations. This Farm is truly EPIC!!! 

After an incredible afternoon of farming, we headed back to the main grounds to grab a quick snack. There are many food options to choose from but we all knew that we wanted to eat the Farm's Local Apple Cider Donuts, they are really good! They were a well deserved treat after all our Farm work and play lol. The boys also got see live Farm animals and they even got to pet and feed the Farm's cows. Oh and you can even pick your own pumpkins...outstanding! This is definitely a 5 Star Fun Family experience. 

I hope you visit this Farm with your family or loved ones.

Lots of love,

XOXO

One of the many goals is to appreciate your family, friends and loved ones....to create beautiful memories together...and to eat delicious foods together....to give loving and caring hugs....to reach out and connect with others and  network....to uplift...to create....to built....to learn and grow...

One of the many goals...is to seize the day...with a smile, just like my Mom always use to say....

One of the many goals is to forgive and move on quickly, there is so much to enjoy and so much to accomplish....no need for negative distractions...move foward...

One of the many goals is to write your own narrative...to create the life you want by being the best version of yourself....and taking action...there's always room for improvement...

One of the many goals is to stay true to your values, your morals and way of being....to speak up when you have something to say and to listen when it is time to hear....
