Social Media Suicide

Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest Skype YouTube Blogs (Any and all) I know there are more, however, I have all of those. They consume the majority of my time throughout the day. They say the average person now picks up their phone about 110-150 times per day! I'm guilty. I do it for more than the phone call, time check, or text message. If I wasn't out of state, away from all of my family and friends, I can tell you I would have already deactivated my Facebook and Twitter accounts. I enjoy Instagram though. I mean, if you're following along, I am a picture whore! Pinterest... Mercy! Okay, we'll get to that one...Skype is the best way I get to see my family when I want to and need to most. YouTube, a very creative site but I use it rarely. Clearly I use my blog site now. These forms of social media are what some people who don't use it call "Social media suicide". I have been informed that it's called that because it's suicide for

Music for the Soul

Music, in my opinion is one of the best forms of therapy. I find it amazing how from one song to another, your mood can transform. You can hear a sad song that brings tears to your eyes, an upbeat song that makes you want to dance, an angry song that makes you feel strong. I have so much music I listen to! I like to say I'm very open minded when it comes to music. As a dancer, I was introduced to many artists that never made it into the main stream. Some I have followed since my younger days. I do quite enjoy some 60's, 70's, 80's, definitely 90's and of course stuff from today. It's cool to be able to hear how much it has all changed over the decades! I love to listen to country music mostly. Maybe being in the south helps, but I liked it even when I lived in the north. I like listening to 90's music, it puts me in this state of mind like I'm still a kid. It can take me back to junior high or a certain memory in my life. It's beautiful how music can

No Regrets

Some people will go through their lives looking back with massive amounts of regret. Regrets for things they did that they weren't proud of, regrets for things they wish they had done because they feel like they have missed out. I've learned to live my life without regret. I never want to look back. I only ever want to look forward. Every step I have taken in my past was a stepping stone to making me the woman I am today. I'm damn proud of the woman I've become! I have come up with a list of things I DON'T regret for one second that I have done in my life. Take a look, think about what it is that you've done in your life that you DON'T regret. Something you are so proud of yourself for accomplishing or doing.  1) Going back to school for my associates degree    I  used to tell people "I only have my associates degree." I said it to my best guy friend once and he scolded me. He told me it's a big deal that I even decided to go back to

Get It Girl

The last thing a newly single late 20 something wants to hear is "There's plenty of fish in the sea". Yeah, I get it, there's tons of dudes out there just waiting to hit on me in the most annoying, inappropriate ways possible! I don't even want to think about another man right now, let alone being hit on by them! A breakup, no matter the person, hurts! No matter the age, you ache inside. I have spent the last few weeks feeling completely alone. I shut myself off, and out from others. I've blamed myself, it's who I am, it's what I've always done. All I've wanted to do is cry or sleep. I haven't had much of an appetite (Might I suggest a breakup for your next diet?). I have been repeatedly asking the questions, what can I do to fix this? How could this happen to me? I gave him my whole heart. He gave it back, the broken part. Now that I'm back to sleeping alone, I sat up late in bed last night, put my hands together, and prayed. Somethi
