This past Saturday I went out to pick up some candy for my husband and while on my way to the check out line I ran across a book called The Seven Wonders That Will Change Your Life. I read this entire book in about 3 days and now I really want to share some of it with you!




The seven wonders are: 

• Courage
• Faith 
• Truth 
• Compassion
• Friendship
• Family 
• Common sense (my favorite)

The best part is that we all have access to these wonders we just need to know how to utilize and tap into them a bit better! 
The reason why I like common sense the best is that we all were born with it, its just that we all may not know how to sue it or may push it aside with justifications or excuses and that's when we start getting hurt!

This book really has opened my eyes and helped me to see and understand how to look at things differently. How to forgive and have compassion for my enemies as they may have suffered a great deal and that may be why they are now so angry or mean. If you view those who hurt you in that light, it gives the entire situation a whole new perspective. Instead of hating or disliking that person you now start to have compassion for them and feel sorry for them or start to love them the way that God intended you to.

Long story short. I love this book and recommend it to everyone who is searching for ways to change and new ways to view the world.

I encourage you all to seek out these wonders as another step in inspiration for your life and soul!

I believe these rules can apply to every thing in our lives from our daily work, to our relationships and so on...

Life is already so complicated that we really don't need to beat ourselves up every day over every little thing! We as women face the media telling us we are not thin enough or pretty enough or are not in the right brands or the right style of clothes. That were not making enough money or working in the right field...


Why, with so much pressure from society do we need to put additional pressure on ourselves? I'm not in competition with anyone in this life, only with myself so I don't care what other think! All that matters to me is that I know each day that I woke up, put on my biggest smile, pat myself on the back and went out and did my best! That's it, simple right??

So get ride of those thought of unworthiness, of not being good enough, of not begin this or that and start looking at the beauty that is staring right back at you in the mirror! We are all beautiful in our own ways, sometimes you just need to dust off a few layers of lies others have told you and sure enough, there it is, your inner beauty, just waiting to be discovered!

"You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever."

This morning started out bad, really bad! I was running late, I spilled hot chocolate in my brand new car and all over my skirt thus having to turn around and drive all the way back home and change, then I stopped for gas and the machine would not read my credit card so I had to go to another gas station. When I finally arrived at work, terribly late, the door to my department was making this high pitched screeching sound for some  reason and that my friends was how I started my Wednesday!

But as I settled into my desk and looked back over my morning I begin to realize that I had 2 options here: 1.) I could let these random events ruin the rest of my day, have a bad attitude and treat my coworkers like dirt or I could move on, focus on the positives and let the day restart from that moment on!

That’s precisely what I decided to do so I fixed my hair and make-up and decided to put on a smile and see what this Wednesday has up its sleeves, I can take a few tricks!
