I CHOOSE! to be positive.

Talk about a hard one to get.  Think positive, speak what you want, speak it into existence, the secret, there are countless mantras that address the fact that it really is a choice to having postivity in one's life. I think the turning point to my efforts to be more positive in my life came when I read an article that said, there is no such thing as regrets, just choices. Now that is priceless! The truth is that when things seem so bleek it's your choice, your response to the situation that determines how you will feel as you proceed.

I remember the days I would go to work at Ryder Truck Rental and share some of the episodes that I'd experienced that past weekend in my dating life and life in general and even now when things happen I feel like I'm living a soap opera. But in the last year, I laugh at those chapters in my life not episodes, because now I respond with action and not fall into a hole of trying to figure out what went wrong or what did I do wrong. It's about where do we go from here.

While I'm not going to get all religious, I have to mention faith here, because if you truly have it the journey is always more enjoyable, because you know the outcome is what YOU believe will happen. And guess what it works. Life has never been better. And it's just that simple. No go choose to make it a great day.

The light bulb is on!

Thanks for visiting my blog.  I'm making a decision today.  So many of my friends new and old have said they've enjoyed me sharing pieces of my life on my Facebook page, that I'm finally going to start blogging. I hesitated for some time because I didn't think I could deliver the consistency that would need to come with writing a blog. I wanted it to be every day, or week, or month, or bi-monthly or whatever that would allow me to keep this dialogue fresh, but you know what that became my excuse. Then today I realized I check in on my FB page daily! I already have that consistency, I just needed to make the decision to do this! And here we are, "Could it be that simple?" is born.

I'll save the details about me for my profile. Let's just say I'm a single mom, entrepreneur, daughter, sister, and make the best effort to be a true friend to those who can receive it.

I've experienced some really interesting things and my journey has been reborn as I approach 40.  And as I count down to my birthday on July 25, 2011 when I do turn 40, this chapter is about staying positive, focused, and true to myself while sharing just a little bit of my life episodes along the way. I can't say I'll always be soooo insightful, but let's hope this conversation can be lively, I like friends to talk to, so join in, comment and email me (ogcoffeequeen@gmail.com). 

Lastly for today, you'll notice I reference coffee, hot chocolate, or tea regularly because a few minutes with a cup can be revolutionary! I've learned that recently after becoming an independent distributor of Organo Gold products.  Yes, coffee. I know it's crazy and guess what I don't even drink coffee but my coffee is unique, it has changed my life! But we'll talk about that. Thanks for stopping by. Subscribe and come back soon. I won't say I'll post every day, or week, or month, I'll post when I have something to say. And it's just that simple.
