Do Not Let Others Affect You
Today has been really rough for me. I've been letting the negativity of those around me affect my own energy.
I cannot let the unhappiness and uneasiness of energies around me deflate my own spirit. Just because someone at my work is having a difficult day, doesn't mean that I should allow that to crush me.
I've always had a particularly challenging time with this. Sometimes my spirit is like a magnet, taking on whatever attitudes surround it. I've been trying really hard to not let others energies in, by keeping true to my feelings.
Writing this is helping me shake off the negative and refocus my positive nature. Perhaps I just had to take this moment and reflect on the insignificance of another's anger.
If you have ever been in a similar place, just take a moment for yourself.
Do not let someone else turn your smile upside down!!
Keep the negative out and let the positive pour in!
Much love,
Jess

There is No Time but Now
This very moment.
That thought in your head.
The sounds around you.
Take a moment to live in the moment….
Not thinking about yesterday
Or tomorrow.
Only being conscience in the now.
This moment may be all that you have.
Enjoy it. Now.
Love this very second,
No matter how much pain or stress
Surrounds you.
Know that you have been blessed with this moment in time.
It is a gift, so treat it as such.
Smile. Love life. Enjoy it. Now….
Much love and light,
Jess

Trust Without Fear
'Walk openly into love with a trembling soul if you must, but do it!'
-Me
Fear in Trust
It's amazing how wrong I can be about people sometimes. But I have made a choice to be someone that always trusts first and if that trust is broken then it's time to move on and learn my lesson. It's hard to trust first though. It makes you vulnerable right from the beginning. A lot of times I am totally disappointed in the end and it not only hurts, but can be very discouraging.
I've learned that people can be completely different than what they make themselves out to be. People aren't always what they say, how they act or how they treat you. They can be someone totally different than what they put out there. Even though, I know this to be true with some people, I don't want the fear of it happening again to make me close myself to people. I don't want to be heartless and not feel anything in order to avoid being hurt. What's the point of living if it means living with an empty heart?
How can I avoid letting the wrong people in my heart though? ... I can't...no one can. How can I trust first, knowing that so many people have let me down? I know how..... By remembering the ones that haven't. The angles in my life that taught me that it is worth loving and experiencing emotional bonds. It is worth the chance that I take by opening my heart, because it is the only way I will experience the love that has proven itself to me through people like Becky, Jess, Lee, Jackie, my mom, God..... They are the answer to the fear deep in my heart. The angels that will always be there to mend my wounds.
My goal is to teach myself to trust without fear, because the gift is much greater than the sacrifice.
With an open heart!

Who are you?
It seems to be so easy to forget how amazing and beautiful we are. We let so many things, words and experiences deplete our self worth. We are all made up of Beauty, Love and Life, but we blind ourselves with uncertainty, fear and doubt. We lose the meaning of our own being. Reminding ourselves almost everyday of what we want different, what we don't have, what we don't like about ourselves. We are constantly looking outside ourselves for validation of our beauty, intelligence and importance. Looking outside ourselves is like choosing to disconnect from our own souls as we reach as far as possible from where the truth lies in order to find the answers.
This creates confusion in our minds and unnecessary negative emotions that are reactions to all that surrounds us. We start reading into things too much. We start to take everything people do and say personally. It can cause us to hurt, cry and sometimes hate ourselves. The crazy thing is that what other people say and do has nothing to do with us. It is just a reflection of what is going on inside that person…completely separate from us.
It's the same the other way around. Sometimes what other people say and do will make us feel wonderful. We think that because someone says we are beautiful than that means we are. The thing is that we should already know how beautiful we are. We should know without anyone ever having to say it.
Look inside yourself for the answers of who you are. Truth lives inside our hearts, so let it speak to you. Lets remind ourselves everyday what we love, who we love, how grateful we are for what we have and for the people who are part of our lives. Lets remind ourselves of how much there is to love about ourselves. Lets not forget how wonderful we are, no matter what anyone says or does.

Just love yourself like no one else
With my birthday just around the corner, I've been doing a good deal of thinking about a very special person...
....Me.
Often, I do not give myself the time of day. I don't take time to meditate or reflect everyday. And, unfortunately, I'm usually really hard on myself when I do actually take the time to reflect.
Many of us face this same problem. In fact, many of my closest friends are the same way. Why do we constantly neglect the most important person in the world?
It is crucial that I hold myself in the highest regard. I am a strong believer that if I am not truly happy and honestly pleased with who I am, no one around me will be. Once I find that sincere love for myself, I will have success in the beautiful relationships that surround me.
Take a minute today to realize how amazing you are!!!!! And love yourself, like no one else.
Much love,
Jess!

Niceness RULES!!!
Isn't it so awesome when someone does something nice for you out of the blue? A woman I work with just brought me a thank you card and a scented candle for notarizing some of her documents. It wasn't even a big deal to me - all you have to do is sign your name and stamp a piece of paper - but I guess it meant a lot to her. She just made my day a little brighter by going out of her way to thank me. It was such a thoughtful thing to do that I wasn't expecting at all. And believe me, I needed it so much!
Go out of your way to do something nice for someone today when he or she isn't prepared for it. Maybe you'll cheer up their day, right when they need it most!
