Blessed.

Blessed to have a life full of flaws…

Work is never fun, but I’m thankful I have a job.

My relationship isn’t perfect, but I’m with the person I love.

My skin isn’t flawless, but I embrace the skin I’m in.

School gives me headaches, but I’m fortunate enough to be given an education.

My friends come and go, but God’s left the right ones by my side.

In this life nothing is easy, nothing is fun, and everything has it’s ups and downs. But sometimes we’re so caught up in this life that we forget to give thanks and look around once in a while at the things in our life. I’m not perfect and I’m never going to be perfect- I live in an imperfect world. My world revolves around keeping busy. My world revolves around people buried in their technology trying to find a way to get ahead of life, even if it’s just one step ahead. My world drives me crazy and sometimes I don’t know if I’m living it right.. But you know what? That’s life. Life is trying to figure things out; life is doing things the wrong way so we can learn to do things the right way; life is full of flaws. But behind all the flaws in this world, I’m thankful and I’m blessed.

New Week- Reflect

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- Reflect

As we reach the final month of 2014, let us reflect; reflect on both the good and the bad. Think about all the good that has happened to you and your loved ones this year, and also think about the bad. Did it make you stronger? Did you learn from it? Learning from your mistakes has to be one of the best forms of education. Learning from something you’ve done makes it stick. The people who’ve done you wrong, you learn to not trust as easily and look out for yourself. The job you quit, you’ve learned what type of career you want for yourself. And through all the good, you carry on the positivity and the lifestyle that comes along with it. As we enter the last stretch, choose what you want to take into 2015 and what you want to leave back in 2014. Reflect and learn; a lot happens in a year.

New Week- Top 3 Life Helpers

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- Top 3 Life Helpers

Through this life we are faced with challenges, rewards, and everything in between. We encounter good people, and not so good people. But when we do find these good people and these good influences, life seems to move a little smoothly. Top 3 things to make a life a little easier.

1. Good friends.

Fine. Have a significant other, and be happy, but don’t lose your friends. Granted, if you find the right person they’ll be more than you could ever need, but you will always need your friends. Guys need to talk to guys, and girls need to talk to their girls; it’s just how it works. And the good friends are the friends that are going to accept that you can’t spend all your time partying and getting crazy, because you’re busy trying to get your life started with someone you love- and these are the type of friends that are one call away from a vent, or a game night in the man cave. Find those friends, and keep them.

2. Positive vibes.

Positive vibes in the work place, at home, at school, everywhere you are. Always surround yourself with positive thoughts and good intentions. There are things and people in this life that feed off of negativity, don’t be that person. Be the person that always has something good to say, and can create a solution to any problem. Your life will be so much simpler and happier if you could bring positivity to it every day.

3. Honesty and Trust.

Yes, these two fall together. You need to be honest with yourself and those around you to have trust. Some might think this only goes for the way you treat people; no, this goes for you too. You need to be honest with yourself to trust the moves and decisions you make in life. Be true to yourself. If you know something isn’t going to work out, or if this something isn’t what you really want in life, don’t pretend like it is. Being honest with yourself will make you feel comfortable in the world around you, and allow you to trust your instincts and not fear the obstacles in life.

New Week- Something Personal

Happy Monday, everyone! First off, I’d like to apologize for my absence from blogging for the last two weeks for I have been traveling- what an experience! Secondly, I’d like to dedicate this post to the single moms… Especially my sister. Many single moms feel like they’re not thought about, or that people aren’t there for them. But I’m here to tell you you’re wrong. The people who love you think about you every day and want to make sure you’re holding up okay. Because we, the people who love you, know that you have the hardest, most rewarding job in the world. Talk about motivation Monday! Motivation to get up every morning (especially 3 in the morning) and support the life of yourself and your child. Granted, times are hard and you wish you had someone there to help you. But you know what? All of the hard work you are doing right now, all of the struggling, the sadness, and stress you’re going through at this time in your life is all for something great- the greatness of your child’s future. You’re appreciated and acknowledged for your hard work. And one day, your child is going to see that his/her mother did everything in their power to give them the best life possible. First day of school, graduation day, their wedding day, all of their birthdays… It’s MOM who made it all possible. And at that moment, when your child realizes you’re their superhero, you’ll realize that all of your struggles will have been worth it. So stick through it to reach that point and know you’re not alone- with this new life you’ve brought into this world, you’ll never be alone again.

Katie, I love you, and I’m so proud of you. Brooklyn is such a lucky girl to have such a hard working mom like you. Smile, be happy, and love life so that she can grow up to be as beautiful as you. Thank you for making me such a lucky aunt, and most importantly, a lucky sister.

New Week- Choose Your Happiness

by kristielovelisLeave a Comment on New Week- Choose Your Happiness

We do realize that we control our own happiness, right? If we don’t like something then we have the power to change it. So why do we act like we’re stuck? Maybe because we’re comfortable, may it’s because we care too much? For me, I don’t know. I can’t figure that part out. I’m so focused on trying to make other people happy, that I get side tracked on what makes me happy. Sure, I’m happy for a little while, and then I seem to forget that this is MY life too. If I’m not being treated how I want to in a situation, I need to learn to remove myself from the equation. Life is only given to us once, so why do we sit and dwell on something that will not be changed? You might not be happy, but the world still goes on. You might die, but the world is still going to go on. I don’t want to be on my death bed wishing that I had done something different about the situations I’ve been in throughout my life. I want to look back at everything and think, “I made the right choices. I wouldn’t have lived my life any other way. I wish I could go back and simply relive it, and not change a thing” …. And you should feel the same way too.
