Facing Fears Head On

We all get scared from time to time. It's not unusual, it's not a feeling only subjected to specific individuals, it can influence anyone. The trick is to admit your scared, figure out why, and face it straight on.

I think this is something that I've been facing daily since my divorce (and definitely before but it's been more prominently noticeable since my divorce), back then it was "how will I do this on my own?", "will anyone ever love me or am I even capable of loving someone back?" and maybe the funniest of the bunch: "Am I going to become one of those 'spinsters' with 20 cats?!!?" (I don't even really like cats that much! LOL! I much prefer a dog!) But I think this experience here has been the scariest of all experiences. These are new fears like fitting in, adjusting to the culture, acceptance, being able to work and make a good living, driving, etc. It plays on my mind everyday.

I know I can do this, I know that 6 months or even a year from now I will look back and think that this wasn't so bad! I also know that this has made me a strong person and will continue to do so! With everything worth doing in life, is a little bit of fear, failure and hard work...But the end result is something beautiful and wonderful and I am forever grateful for it! I have been given the gift of amazing love, acceptance, and amazing new experiences!

When you compare the benefit's you receive when face those fears, it is completely worth it and rewarding! So maybe next time, instead of running away, face it straight on and see how it can be rewarding for you...I'm trying everyday, sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail, but something I've decided not to do...Give up!

Live, Laugh, Love.

Do you think I'm a fool?

Its funny that certain people always thought I would be just a pee on. Well, it's nice for once to see you sweating the bullets! You see, I hate being peed on, but I also know what goes around comes around and with a little bit of hard work and some good karma, all the sudden I don't seem so weak! I love how you think you can play the emotional cards on me such as "Leaving the love of family and close friends!"...What you don't realize is that I don't care...It's not that I don't care about the love of family and close friends mind you, because I do, it's that all my family and friends are completely supportive and excited for me about this, so trying to use them against me is pointless because I already have "their blessings". I've got the love and support from the people I CARE about! It's just that you think I'm impressionable and naive, but what it has come down to is that I say anything just to shut you up! You think your...

Annual Update!

So I am the queen at updating this blog once a year! I don't mean to neglect, but it's just been so busy for me! Life certainly keeps me on my toes these days! Big events that are worth noting for the past year: -Bought a house! It's a lovely three bedroom detached house that I can call my own, hide in to get away from the world. Decorate any way I want and fill with love! I couldn't be happier here and have really settled in well! -Got a dog! He's a year old now and named Mack. Mack is a gorgeous black lab puppy with the most loving personality and the energy of 20 kids hyped up on sugar! He is the sweetest and most exhausting little guy, but he is my baby! Here is my warning for when you visit: Beware of dog, he does not hold licker well! Haha! I love that he makes me a more active person. I walk him daily and play with him when I would probably otherwise just sit on my backside and watch TV. So he's awesome all around. -I am officially a UK CITIZEN!!! Wh...

Happy New Years!

Another year down. Another 365 days of life experiences, ups, downs, tears, laughter and whatever else can be compacted into this little brain of mine! In all honesty, 2012 probably wasn't one of my most favorite years to look back on. There were a lot of trails and frustrations and it has pretty much left me back to starting over again. Not that starting over is a bad thing! BUT I feel like I'm back to square one. Still need to find another job and I've applied for so many already! I've been a bit frustrated about that. Funds are really tight and poor hubby is having to put in a lot of extra time at work, but moving will help a lot! The first couple months of 2013 will be a bit tight, but I can tell you I'm very hopeful for better things! They seem to be looking up anyways! So I am hopeful! I've never been a big massive fan of doing the whole "New Years Resolutions" thing. I've always figured that becoming a better person doesn't just h...
