Hello 2015

Hey guys!

2014 is coming to an end in a few hours! I'm home battling the plague, lol I'm feeling better day by day but thought it would be best to sit tonight out so I won't infect other party goers. Extremely grateful it's not the FLU!  Ironically, even though I am home, eating Thai food and watching an Law & Order SVU marathon, I feel way more at ease/excited going to the new year then I did last year. Last year, I was at a party downtown, it was fun, but I remember not feeling very good about a few things happening at the time.  I am grateful for the lessons I learned in 2014: have faith, trust, believe, and knowing when to walk away.  I'm walking into 2015 stronger, wiser, and truer (to both myself and people around me) than I was a year ago. I'm really stocked about that! Think about it you're not evolving and changing, you're not really in the arena.  

One goal for 2015 is for me is to practice forgiveness and take more time for myself. Hmm, maybe this being sick thing and spending time alone tonight is indirectly helping me with my goal?! Maybe that is too deep, ha! 

Anyway, I babbled on long enough. I wish all my readers, friend's and family, a happy, safe, and prosperous new year. Thank you for the love and support you gave me in 2014! See you in 2015!

100 Happy Days!

A few friend's of mine have been along with the hashtag #100happydays for the past few months now. 

I didn’t give it much thought but then I read this post on the 100 days of happiness challenge on The Daily Mail, I realized that this is something I should try. On social media it's can be very easy to vent, I know I done it so many times when I shouldn't.

The 100 days of happiness challenge is where you post a photo each day on social media (or email it to the organizers if you want to keep it private) of something that makes you happy. It can be so simple as a cup of coffee, going out for a walk, watching a favorite so on TV, or laughing at a joke a friend mentioned.

Sounds simple enough right? Apparently not, more than 70% of people who start the challenge don't complete it. That's sad since posting on social media has become second nature to some. 

If you do complete the challenge then it has a number of benefits.  You start to reflect on what makes you happy and are more grateful for the ‘simple’ things in life.  Sharing what makes you happy is meant to boost your mood.

Today my niece Akua was over, we ordered brunch, she made mimosas and we watched the World Cup.  During that time she pimped out this Tshirt for me this is my day one of the 100 days challenge, thanks Akua:
