Simpleology.com

I have recently reached day 20 on a course called Simpleology 101. It is a free course and takes you through steps to help improve your life and reach your goals in life. Even though I have stopped and started several times over the last couple months, I have found the course very helpful and look forward to the next 20 days in the course. I strongly recommend anyone looking to improve their ability to get things accomplished, to check it out. And while on the note of check out simpleology.com, they are offering me a chance to take a free course on blogging. All I have to do is paste this code in here for you folks that read my blog. So here it is.....

I'm evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

• The best blogging techniques.

• How to turn your blog into money.

I'll let you know what I think once I've had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it's still free.

Life Has Its Up and Its Downs

It seems that no matter how hard one tries to be positive there are days that it is just hard. Life is full of ups and downs and I guess it is what we do about the down times that make the difference. We can try to be grateful for what we do have and look for the lesson life is trying to teach us or we can throw our hands up in surrender and let the darker feelings take over.

Life for me has taken a turn for the downside of things, I am having financial trouble, relationship trouble, and of course the ever present trouble that a parent has when they have headstrong teenagers who think they know it all.

I admit I initially threw my hands up in the air and let the depression and anger take over but I realize that it is solving nothing. I only feel worse and worse everyday. So.... the first step is to pick yourself up and decide to face the problems head on. I need a budget and we need to find Dennis a job. Dennis and I have started to work on our problems by communicating. It is amazing how much can be solved just by honestly talking with one another. I mean talking not yelling or the I am right you are wrong routine but down to earth two way communication. And as for the teenagers well... if anyone has any suggestions I am listening.

Your frame of mind has a lot to do with how you handle these situations as well. You have to fall back on the positive thinking. You have to believe that it will get better and then find those solutions. Take action, life is not going to fix itself without action on your part. You have to be willing to get out there and find your solutions. If you fail, don't give up just keep trying things till it works for you. So in conclusion, when life takes a down turn look at what you do have, keep communication lines open and take action and troubleshoot the problem to find your solutions that will work in your life.

Hope, Faith, Gratitude and Positive thinking

Life's road has thrown some curves and turns my way this last month. I have hit a low point at the bottom of a hill a few times but now I am climbing back up that next hill toward the rainbow of hope. I have faith and know that all will work out in life. I am working on the things that I can control while maintaining a positive attitude and faith that all will work out for the best. I do believe that the universe will provide for what my family and I need. Last week I did not know where I would get money for diapers and mom sent me twenty dollars for Rowan's birthday with permission to use it as needed. I was not sure how I was going to buy Aurora and Michael school clothes and a child support check came through today. Now I have faith that Dennis will find a job so that we can pay the bills. The universe will provide a way for me to pay our ever mounting bills.
On the road of life, there are turns, hills, and hairpin curves but if we keep our destination in mind and the hope and faith that you will get there, You will reach all that you desire.

Positive Thinking

This last week I have been focusing on positive thinking. Since I tend to be a pessimist and always look at the negative. The beginning of the week went great. The middle of the week was a challenge and by the end of the week..... well let's just say it is time to pick myself back up, dust the dirt off my pants and try again. Some observations that I did notice, when I was thinking positive things really were going great. The day went smoother and I seemed to have more energy. I got things done and was over all much happier. At the end of the week, when my positive thinking was at a low, I was constantly dropping things, I couldn't seem to get anything done, I felt tired and worn down, and Murphy's law was ever present. In conclusion, positive thinking does work and I strongly recommend to everyone that they try to remain positive in their lives. I know I am going to continue to try.
