So much
To do but where do I start?
Well, maybe getting out of bed would be a good start
Then maybe taking a walk and then eating breakfast
Ahh, now I’m doing it
But what next
For I don’t feel like doing it all now that I’m fed, maybe I’ll go back to bed.
And cuddle up in the sheets and watch a movie instead.
I know I have so much I could be doing, but why am I stressing so hard when my body says rest instead?
Oh, how the hype of getting ahead is intense, but sometimes I wonder why I can’t just be satisfied with what I already have instead of trying to be more.
But the truth is it’s not me who is in control, and sometimes I want to disobey for living in my comfort zone feels right to me.
Even though I know if I don’t do something, I know I will regret it for you see I’m meant for so much more.
But sometimes, the need to continue to juggle it all is well becoming like a second job, and maybe I don’t realize that is what I signed up for, and now the time I have to relax and so much less, but I’m alive and so why am I still complaining.
Instead, I should be doing what I signed up for in the first place, and when it’s all said and done, maybe then I can tell if it was worth it.

Quote of the day
Which
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?
Animal would I compare myself to and why?
Well I’d have to pick a koala because they sleep a lot and I feel that’s all I do when I’m working night shift and so times when I’m off work I’m falling asleep too.
So sleeping is what I do maybe not as long as koala who can sleep up to 17 to 20 hours.
It was either a koala or an owl

Write
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.
A letter to my 100-year-old self.
Dear 100 year old Deirdre,
Girl, I know you did everything your heart desired. Because I know you put God first, and he guided you through it all.
I know you wrote all the books and coached and helped all the women you could and traveled more like you said you would.
I hope you’re living well now, and maybe you got married and had kids, and now you’re surrounded by beautiful grandbabies.
I hope you tell them all the great stories of your lifetime.
And I hope you’re still reading and laughing it up.
You worked so hard when you were young, and now I hope at 100, you are still smiling and appreciating that God has allowed you to make it this far and that you are still shining your light on everyone you meet.
I know your heart is still so kind, you are still so sweet, and you’re probably still complaining about being short, but girl, you made it to 100 years old.
Be proud and be old, for you made it, and I’m so proud of all I know you did, and I know you will leave quite a mark on the world.
Love you, your younger self, the one fighting to make things better for us now so that maybe 100 can be possible!
Quote of the day
Where would
Where would you go on a shopping spree?
I go on a shopping spree?
I would go to Europe and buy some of my favorite things where they’re made and maybe find some new things to wear too.
As long as the clothes are comfortable and pleasant, I’ll wear them.
But if the spree doesn’t entitle me to clothes, I’d pay for little treasures as I explore Europe and all that it has to offer.
Quote of the day
Happy International Women’s Day!
Today I launch my website and Facebook group “Release Your Pain, Embrace Your Confidence”, in honor of the women who need confidence and their voice to be heard.
For I want to help them grow in self-love and confidence and find away to express themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin and Embrace that they are so much more than what others have said to them in the past and the present.
I, too, used to be so quiet that I was passed by or not seen because I didn’t want the attention if I spoke up you would see my flaws and my struggles and see where my smile didn’t reach my eyes.
You would see I was just a woman trying to get by. I was a woman trying to blend within the crowd because I wasn’t what society said I should look like. But with a life coach and doing the hard work, I found my self-love and confidence. I enhanced my voice and allowed myself to be seen, and I allowed change to happen in me and changed my body and soul. But don’t get me wrong, I have fears, and stepping up is scary and honest, but I’m doing it anyway, for I only have one life to live, and I know I can’t ignore this feeling and meaning to be more for others and myself.
Spiritually I continue to grow and mentally too and physically I still have work to do but I do it for me and those who are struggling too.
I want to help, and I will, and it will take time for trust and growth, too, but the women who need me will find me, and together, we will celebrate not just today but every moment God gives us!
I know this post is a long one but if you made it this far, here are the links to my website if you are a woman who would like to join my private and safe haven Facebook group to “Release your pain, Embrace your Confidence” with other women then send me a request on Facebook and let’s work together to make a change!
What is
What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?
My middle name? Does it carry any special meaning significance?
My middle name is Latrice, and as a girl’s name, it is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Latrice is ” noble; patrician.”
Which is a nice meaning to it as I have always liked my middle name and now I like it even more.
Especially since I enjoyed learning about Latin in high school, it’s nice finding out the meaning of one’s name, which means something good.

I give
My all to you, god, as things become clear yet unclear.
But the unclear is not your advice, but others, and the feeling of facing my fear is strong.
God, how did I not know you were there guiding me and how, when my frustration disappeared so quickly, it was you.
But then you would show me what I needed or a reminder through someone else, and I would see it was you, my protector.
Even though things are different and going at a slower speed, I realize now that this speed is correct, and I’m giving it all to god, and I know it will work out, for I will do the work.
I live in this peaceful bliss and feel so good that my Word of the Year is faith. It seems to be serving me, and I couldn’t be happier.
