Transformation is like magic......
You work toward something but for some reason you don't see change....yet you are changing, it’s just not visible to the eye. Then as you continue to push forward regardless of not seeing change, it happens....an AHA moment and your eyes finally open, your ears can hear clearly, your heart expands with love and gratitude. Change happens, you are transformed.
I lived this and I wish I could truly explain the wonderful feeling it left in me.
It took over two years for my transformation to take place. I remember struggling with myself, wanting to take hold of the new beliefs, yet feeling trapped by my old limiting beliefs. I remember pushing forward despite my struggle, and I remember that in my moment of most pain, in where I felt I could no longer do it alone. At them moment in where I was desperate and afraid, it happened, I was transformed and my life has never been the same since.
I thank God for how the transformation took place in my life as I see it as a true miracle in my life. Even as I write, I can't explain the feeling of it all as I feel that when it happened I was lifted from where I was into a better place, I came face to face with my pain and yet it was no longer painful.
If you are reading this and you are on your journey to a better life, don't be discouraged by your struggle. It's part of your journey and part of your healing process. It took a long time for you to be where you are today and it will take a while for you to get to where you want to be. Hold on to your faith and your determination as it will get you through this time.
Stay strong........you will be transformed

Give freely
Sometimes we think we don't have enough to give, thus we look the other way paying no attention
to the pain that surrounds us. However we always have something to give. Those that need don't always need money, they need companionship, they need someone to talk to, someone to cry with, someon that will tell them they care. We all can help someone, yet until we take the time to listen to what the other needs we will not know how simple it is to help.
Money comes in handy yet, money needs to be an constant source. Your friendship, your love, your time can be more valuable than the money you can share. Your mentoring, can help someone get back on their feet to do what they need to do.
If you take the time to listen, you will see how easy it is to help someone in need.

Forgive but not forget
Forgive but not forget.
The truth is I can forgive you for pain, yet I will be careful trusting you next time.
That is natural, when they say put the other cheek, it does not mean you need to volunteer the other cheek. Forgiveness in general is very important in our journey to a better person. It's really not about releasing the other person but more of releasing yourself from your anger, your hard feelings. Forgiving, can allow you to move on and focus on the things that really matter in your life and add quality to your life and others.
If you are holding on to old grudges or angers, your focus is on that event which lives in the past. It has no use in your present time other than holding you back. Therefore holding a grudge, refusing to forgive as much as it can sadden another, it is really hurting YOU.
I understand that some events are very difficult to get past, such as a crime against you or your family. For those types of events you might need counseling to help you release your emotions. However we tend to hold on to little stuff that don't measure up to "crime" and yet we add fuel to it and make it bigger than it really is.
Remember......you can't move forward as long as you are holding and nurturing those negative events.
Forgiveness is about releasing yourself from the emotion.
I have felt wronged in my life and some events have hurt more than others, yet, I learned that they did not matter next the things I truly valued. I learned to let go, I learned to forgive. Forgive does not mean that I forgive and we go back to living as if nothing ever happened. It means that I forgive and move on, and moving on might not necessarily include the offender.
Be open to forgiving, you will be the one to gain the most.

Ask, Believe and Act
3 Essential steps for your journey to a better you
• Ask (be clear on what you want)
• Believe (believe you deserve it, believe you can have it)
• Act (take action)
...
Step 1: Begins with getting clear on who you are and what you want. This process might take a while as you are currently dealing with old beliefs, attitudes, and unfortunate circumstances that currently affect your life.
• Who am I?
• Why do I think this way?
• Why do I act this way?
• What do I want?
• Why do I want it?
• What does having it mean to me?
• Do I believe I can have it?
• Do I believe I deserve it?
• Do I believe I can attain it?
It’s important to focus on your recovery, not get stuck on the problems you currently have, as focusing on your problems will surface emotions of lack and frustration which keep you where you are.
Getting clear can take a while as you will need to face your old mindset vs. who you want to be. However it can be done, and when it is, you will feel a new person.
Ok…..so you got clear on whom you are what you want and during this process you set your goals.
Step 2: Having faith in you is essential. You need to believe and understand that you have all the tools you need “within you”. Now that might sound difficult, because if you had them all along, then why did they not show up before? The answer is simple; “you did not believe”, your focus and emotions were stuck on “lack”. Therefore, now that you have a clear vision of who you want to be, you need to control those old emotions and believe in your ability to attain.
Step 3: Act….you can’t force action, however inspired action comes from being clear and believing you can attain. You will be driven to take action, opportunities will arise, ideas will pop in your mind, and you will feel an urge to try new things. Does not matter how it happens, you will be inspired to take action. Action can be, (training, education, learning a new job, etc). You must be ready to take action when the time comes up.
Lack of action will delay your goals.
These 3 steps are essential and work together….
Your journey of self discovery is the best journey you will ever take…….so enjoy the ride.

Life According to Me is about me coming to terms with who I truly am and understanding what I want in life. Many times we go throughout life thinking we know who we are and what we want, yet what we believe about ourselves is tied to beliefs that have been engrained in us from our parents, society ...and our own experiences. We begin to accept limitations as if we were... destined to have what we have; and nothing more.
I embarked on a journey of self discovery and with it, I became clear on the mistakes I had made and what I needed to do to get better. I found that getting on the right path required me to change my thinking and how I reacted to life in general.
In this book ,“Life According to Me”, I share this journey of self discovery with the intent to share the gift of hope and faith with the reader. It’s an honest look at my life (mistakes, lessons and road to recovery).
Writing this book has been a labor of love and determination. The inspirational blog was inspired by this book, and I want to share with others these positive thoughts since that was, for me, the beginning of it all.
