Find the Bright Moments
Wednesday Writings
My nephew shared a quote this morning and the words ring true.
“Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don’t want to believe that. But if you’re over age twenty-one your life is what you’re making it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.” – John C. Maxwell
He also added that due to social determinants it may be difficult to change your life. However, I’ll add, it is not impossible. Sometimes this means making sacrifices (changing priorities) so that you can live a better life – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well as financially.
I’ll end with this question–
Are you presently making changes to create a better life for yourself (see meaning above), or are you content with where you are?
Me – I’m making changes.
Thanks for reading and please your day!

Time & Peace
Your time and peace are valuable. Protect both by making sure others respect them. Not only is this an act of self-care, but self-preservation. Enjoy your week! ~ Shaun
Hello Sunday
Today’s “Hello Sunday” is a reblog from April 11, 2021. Y’all, it’s a year later and I still tear up when I think about how God has allowed me to live the life I have always imagined. Well.. minus the husband. Seriously, it’s funny how I always believed I could not live my best life without being married. This isn’t to say I never want to remarry because I would definitely be lying. However, over the past year, I have discovered that I don’t have to wait until I find a significant other or get married to truly live. I guess being happy really is a state of mind. God is good.
Here is what I wrote last year:
Happy Sunday! Came across a quote from a few years ago which basically sums up how I have felt over the past week. It read, “And so, she started living the life she’d imagined.” Y’all, I’m in tears right now. I have never felt so free. So in control. So focused. Been watching God work. […]

Unexpected Blessings
Today I received an unexpected blessing, an award for Nutritionist of the Year. Let me tell you how unexpected it was. I had left the conference to go check out of my hotel room. All I was thinking about was checking out on time. Didn’t expect a thing. Then all of a sudden I started receiving texts asking me where I was because I had just won an award. Wow!
Just think, one year ago I took a leap of faith and ventured out on my own. And at times I feel so disconnected. Although I continue to promote health throughout our state, it’s on a different scale since I’m no longer affiliated with an institution. So yes, it was unexpected. Honestly, it was just the blessing I needed.
Grateful.
Wednesday Writings
“Everyone has their own road to travel,” is what I wrote a few years ago. It seems like the older I get the more evident this becomes. No matter how much we want things and relationships to remain the same they won’t. Life is constantly evolving. Everyone has their own lives with their own set of dreams, goals and problems. And of course I have mine!
My world is finally opening back up and it looks totally different from the way it looked pre-COVID. I’m not afraid of what the future holds. However, it saddens me that things are no longer the same. As many of us have experienced, change – positive or negative – can be difficult to accept and adjust to, but it’s so necessary.
On this day three years ago, I wrote: “Reflect, Regroup, Refocus.” Never have I felt the need to do this as much as I do now. Change is inevitable and it’s happening right before my eyes. The only thing that has remained constant, and will always remain constant, is God’s presence and love. And you best believe I’m not letting those go. Nope! I’m leaning on Him even more.
Thanks for reading! Enjoy your day.
