Sunshine In My Pocket

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, 

always bring your own sunshine.  

~Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book

So I've been on it..for about a week. Most women get it now and then and yup...it was my time. 

I've been on the bad mood roller coaster...huh? What did you THINK I was talking about...ew!

It seems as though I can't tell when I'm having a good time. I've been down in the dumps and sadly people have been affected (sorry!)

Who knew that a short trip to the gym would be just the thing to get me back on track. Such a little thing that I almost past up because *trumpets playing* I had a bad day!

I spoke with a friend today who is a lot like myself - authoritative with a strong personality. It's hard for us to understand how we can upset those around us when we're just telling them they've done something wrong, don't do it again..please. We can say it to each other no problem. But there has to be a way to speak to others without having them hate you or think you're a monster.

It's time to start again in a positive manner. Not be the demon that walks in the door but the person they look forward to seeing and have a nice chat with (I personally wouldn't mind some tea and cookies as well!). 

So here's to bringing my own sunshine to every day and every situation. (I'll let you know how this turns out in about a week ...or less)

Shooting for the moon - Seems easy enough?

Shoot for the moon.  

Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

When we were growing up, our parents told us we could be anything we wanted to be. Throughout those many years our idea of our "dream job" changed from day to day. I know at one point I wanted to be a beautiful ballerina and the next day at the bus stop, I would look at my mom and tell her "I want to be a fire fighter". Her reply would always be, "You can be anything you want to be".

For years, many of us struggle to find that perfect being that we want to be "when we grow up". If you're like me, you're still trying to figure it out. 

I've been to school for Music, Marketing, Business. I've held jobs in retail, banking, radio, promotions, etc and still have not found a place for my heart to reside. I have a love for photography, but I'm still not sure that is what I'm meant to do. Do I go out of my comfort zone and audition for something musical? I've made myself think for so long that I don't have the performance skills to stand out among all the other great vocalists in the world. I love animals but "growing up on a farm" doesn't make me ultra qualified to work with them.

Why do I sit back in nerves when I could at least give it a try?  When will I find a job that makes my heart leap out of my chest every morning when I wake up? 

Maybe it's time for me to shoot for the moon, finally.
