Bumps along the road … Literally!

Sometimes things happens just as they should for reasons beyond our knowledge. Today started off great and is now ending perfectly as I share my laughter, stress, thoughts and lessons of the day!

This morning the Miami sun was shining down on me as I waited at the light on 16th Street & Collins Avenue. I get the green signal to go and I feel a … bump, bump from my little, ole’ faithful, silver bullet (Road-Doggie since college back in Connecticut) ‘Lola’ STALLS!! ⚠🚦😳

In the past if something like this would have happened in my world it was typical for me to be upset, pissed off and completely stressed out. The good news is that was the PAST this Is Now My Present and I have learned to control my thought process and I am fully aware of how my reaction to situations effect the overall outcome.

My poor car overheated she has been through a lot with me. Being uprooted from the snow storms of Connecticut to now weathering the Sunshine State’s salt water air at the beach; I can’t even be mad! I realize that blocking early morning traffic is probably not a good idea on Monday morning but really what can I do??!?

Laugh out loud literally because when I looked up to see that I was on 16th Street. (The significance to be discussed in future blogs ..stay tuned!) My reminder from the universe to just Smile everything is going to be just fine and dandy! 😀

Things happen in Life that are sometimes very much out of our control I can attest to that on so many levels but we must figure out how to react in a way that will not cause us more stress in life.

As soon as ‘Lola’ stalled three kind gentlemen came to my rescue to push her out of the traffic. The second time she stalled in the middle of Biscayne Boulevard a state trooped pushed little Lola and I into a Burger King parking lot where I quenched her need for water!

If you’re reading this I’d like to hear your thoughts. I know it’s my energy.. What do you think?

Little cars and people sometimes need a push every now then! Always remember to have GRATITUDE for every experience even if it’s not so pleasant, it’s supposed to teach you something. Recognizing it is part of your spiritual awareness! ✌

The Universe Works in Mysterious Ways

Hello Again!

It’s been some time since I’ve had the opportunity to share my thoughts and continue to maintain my writing but I’m going to carry on as initially planned.

What are your thoughts on the Laws of Attraction?

Do you know that everything you Love and all the Passions in Your Life will magically guide themselves into your path just when you need, want and most importantly READY for it?

It’s a crazy thing how the Universe works but I can honestly and proudly say that things I have loved and desired to educate myself on mostly in my career are circling all around me right now. That’s because I know the secrets and practice these very important tricks DAILY!! 💫

Want to learn more guess you have to stay tuned … I’m back #CurvyCoconut 🌴

I hope you all share your thoughts and experiences with me.

Keep your head up Buttercup

It’s all good in my world hoping that things are also great in yours too.

A whole lot has been going on in my life! Great things along with very stressful things. How do we Balance staying Positive when we feel like everything is falling apart?

Obstacles have really been coming my way in many different areas but I will NEVER give up on my DREAMS! I have full FAITH that the Universe works in mysterious ways, and we encounter situations and circumstances in our lives to teach us a lesson. I’m taking Notes!! (Seriously)

Storms will eventually pass and the a Beautiful rainbow will appear. We often have highs and lows in life but the trick is learning to deal with the rough times. I believe that these times come to strengthen us for something BIGGER!

I often take this time as a point of my spirit being renewed, somewhat of a re-birth.

Keep your head up Buttercup!  Stay Positive and never give up on your Hopes, Passions and DREAMS!

Don’t worry just Color … It’s the KID in me!

P.S. I missed sharing my thoughts with you all, Life is Good just enjoying the journey.

Preparation for what’s YET to come

Can you guess which Little Duckie I am?  Aren’t we all though?

Do you ever feel like you can never catch a break… I know we’ve ALL been there! You think you’ve hit rock bottom, whether it be due to stress, finances, relationships, school, whatever, then all of a sudden SNAP… things turn around and you’re Happy again, the storms passes and the rainbow comes out.

What if we could get to that rainbow quicker … well I’m going to share this little bit of wisdom ONLY YOU have the power to do get to your pot of gold, regardless of how intense the storm in your life is.

Transition is something that we always manage to overcome, but during that time period we just keep getting discouraged and frustrated with the process that we continue the negativity and then bad things just keep happening. STOP! Re-evaluate your circumstances and Re-focus to get your GOOD vibes back. Exercise, dance, read, write, draw, do whatever it takes.

Remember the law of attraction right? Well it’s the same premise… switch your frame of mind and realize that ‘this too shall pass’ and at that very moment you realize it the law takes effect and the good stuff magnetizes your way! Sometimes it may happen slowly, but trust me when I say the change will start to occur and the transition to the next venture will come your way sooner than you know.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely…       What you are comes to you.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Until next time my friends, don’t forget to just SMILE, everything will be just fine!

What does the word Perfect mean in your world?

It means something different to everyone, perfect body, perfect family, perfect relationship, perfect blah blah and the list goes on…Wake up!! Honestly NOTHING is ever going to be perfect no matter how much we want it to be.

Why do we come down on ourselves so hard when things don’t go as planned? It’s the idea that what we hoped for didn’t happen the way we expected it to, pure disappointment that’s all.

Be Courageous first and foremost, and realize that striving for perfection makes us crazy! Just strive to be Authentically YOU and don’t let your need to be perfect stop you from doing AMAZING things in your life NOW!

I’ve made up my mind that I am Already Perfect at this moment in time and I am just going to accept that I am a WORK IN PROGRESS and will continue to remind myself that what is meant for me will come into my world when I am PERFECTLY ready for it. Life is not perfect, we are all not perfect and as much as we want to deny it we ALL have some work to do!

Get to work my friends!

All you need is LOVE

You know the feeling when of someone gives you a compliment that puts the biggest Smile on your face for hours. Hearing positive feedback makes me realize that people genuinely see characteristics in me that I may sometimes overlook. I sincerely appreciate smiling or even blushing a little bit, you know exactly what I mean… don’t deny how awesome it makes you feel!

Why do we wait for others to acknowledge our beauty or positive characteristics rather than just knowing that we are in fact beautiful, intelligent, funny, and every other positive thing you can say about yourself ?

When we are truly happy and our energy is radiating at the highest frequency the power of attraction sets everything into motion and we attract more positive people into our lives. Give yourself permission to always know your worth and value so others can appreciate you the same way. Self Love is the Best kind of Love, the rest will follow.

The love you seek is seeking you at this moment. ~ Deepak Chopra

Embrace your Beauty, and LOVE you!

Peace begins with a Smile

As I awoke this morning, blessed to be able to open my eyes and say the words Thank You out loud (something I do every morning in appreciation of my life) today my prayers were sent up to the many lives lost and affected by the devastating events of September 11, 2001. It’s really hard to believe that this time 11 years ago I was sitting in a science class, at Southern CT State University in New Haven, Connecticut listening to a lecture oblivious to what was going on in the streets of Manhattan. What were you doing at this very moment 11 years ago?

A time in history if you were old enough to remember would never leave your memory, it will never leave mine. I love this country even through the difficulties my family and I have had to endure. I cried for the lives lost, for the families, for the horrible way these people’s lives were suddenly taken, and for what?

We can all look back and think of times that we stress out about simple, trivial things and then you think about this I don’t know about you but it makes me put life into prospective. When things piss you off, is it really all that important? Holding a grudge? Being unhappy? Being cruel or negative towards others? Working to the point where your relationship with your family, your health, and happiness is compromised? Is it REALLY worth it?

Appreciate every moment and everyone in your life that means the world to you!  Be Grateful Today and Always. Life is too short.  Shivanie

When Life Gives you Lemons

Things in life are never really perfect we all know that but who is it really affecting when you’re sour?

The obstacles in life are inevitable but how we deal with them is a whole other story. We all have our coping mechanisms and whatever it is that you need to do to clear your head from the frustration, anger, hurt, unhappiness, take the time to do it. Not bragging (slightly) but I am Blessed to live at the beach, it is my peace of mind, my sanctuary.

Something as simple as taking a walk, run, or just being out in the beauty of nature helps me clear the many thoughts always monkeying around in my mind. Take to time to re-focus, re-energize, re-group and RE-alize that You My friend have a LOT to be grateful for whatever it is that’s going wrong will soon pass, just think about it differently.

Think about it, that’s me. How do you deal with life? If it’s working for you GREAT on the other hand if it’s not, you have the Power to make the shift.

Trust me it works! Until tomorrow … Shivanie
