Be Inspired: Do Things Your Way!
Many people are in a bad place, esp with today’s terrible economy. Dreams coming through the traditional way are very uncertain and highly unlikely. I, like many, was a perfect student. I did what I was told; I followed the rules. I never rebelled, I hardly disobeyed my mom, I went to college and got…

Song of the Week: Gorilla by Bruno Mars
I Love me some Bruno Mars! He can do no wrong! I love how he mixes Motown vibe in his songs. They have a classic easy, relatable feel. Bruno Mars is not one of those artists that follow a script. He doesn’t do a song or video with treatments that are current just for the…

At my most depressing and down times, I unconsciously wear dull colors. When I’m in a good mood, I wear bright colors… although I didn’t realize it, the color you wear affects and influences your mood. When I look back at old photos, I can tell the times I was sad, happy, depressed etc. simply…

Song of the Week: Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus
I don’t normally listen to or go out of my way to get Miley Cyrus’ songs. I hear her songs in passing. They are catchy, but none really grabbed me. Most of her previous songs were mostly immature, and being the mature woman that I am :D… I couldn’t relate… Then she underwent a whole…

Profile: Oscar Wilde
I love the Oscar Wilde quote – “be yourself, everyone else is already taken”…I have re-used it so many times, I know its origin and what it means, but I know little about the person who originated that perfect quote…so, I did a little digging on the man himself, Oscar Wilde,… Oscar Wilde, in my…

From Me to You
Sometimes we berate ourselves and wonder why our lives are a particular way. We ask ourselves, why am I unhappy? Why am I getting the same results no matter how hard I try? Why can’t I get this? Why can I do that? We cry and complain to our friends and family. But the thing…

My Favorite TV Shows
TV shows are the best! I love to watch them! I love the fact that the story develops and expands, unlike movies. There are many scenarios which allow the characters to grow and experience new things, and the audience is right there growing and experiencing it with them. TV shows are unfolding stories that are…

Be Inspired: Desiderata
Desiderata was written in 1927 by Max Ehrmann…. It’s my favorite poem, hands down. Read and enjoy 🙂 Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen…
