If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know by now I sometimes tread on unstable ground, especially lately. It's easy to get down, feel sorry for ourselves and whine about our lives, so I often search for things to brighten my day and yours!
Today is a link and a story worth learning about! It will lift your spirits and also make you realize what we all have is more AMAZING than we could even imagine.
Check out this incredible story right here: http://www.nourishingthekids.com - Just the trailer made we want to get up, find some kids and plant a garden. (Watch the link and that statement won't sound nearly as twisted as it currently seems to:)
Your 60 second tip for the day: Stay close to inspiring people, because it rubs off!!
Be blessed until tomorrow,

DAILY TIP FOR A BETTER AND SEXIER LIFE: Nuture What You Got!!!
Life is hard sometimes. That's just the way it is. When we all are balancing so much, you are bound to feel tired, overworked, under appreciated and the list goes on. I know the experts say don't run out and shop your worries away, but I feel a need to tweak that statement a bit. Don't run out and blow your life's savings, but a small gift for yourself never hurt anyone, and in fact, it has only helped!
It doesn't need to be a new car, or hundreds of dollars of clothes, just a small something can lift your spirits. I was down today and I just got in the car and took a stroll to TJMAX. $19.99 and a brand new pair of jeans later, I felt like a new woman. Some people say that's fleeting happiness, I say that's a building block towards happiness. Is it the end all be all, NO. Will it solve my problems, NO. But it will help me to keep feeling positive, taking care of myself, my mind, my body and soul. It won't fix those things or heal those things, but it will nurture them and it DEFINITELY will make me have a better day!
So your 60 second tip for the day: Treat yourself, make it small, (or make it BIG if you have the money,) but make sure you nurture what you have built or it may slowly start to fade away. (And doing the work to get it back again will be A HUGE pain.)
Until tomorrow Be Blessed,

DAILY TIP FOR A BETTER AND SEXIER DAY: Try this legal substance!
I am happy to test this one out for you ladies! (And gentlemen, sorry guys!)
We hear it all the time, "Drink more water, you'll feel so much better." It has gotten to the point where most days all I hear is "BLAH BLAH BLAH," when an expert says the word water. Today's tip though is from one disbeliever to all my readers, water really helps you have a better day and better life!!!
I use to love water. I would drink around 8 glasses, even more some days. But as I have settled into my unemployment lifestyle, walking to the water cooler has faded from my behavioral patterns. Instead it's usually my laptop, my coffee and Hoda and Kathie Lee until 11am. Before I know it, it's 2pm and I have hardly had ONE glass of water. The result, I'm more tired, I eat more and my face looks like I am a 13 year old girl just experiencing my first rush of hormones. In a few words, I'm a mess.
It makes sense, our bodies are 60-70 percent water, (at least according to wikepedia.) So why would I not drink water? Sure, it's not as sexy as my grande soy pumpkin spice latte, but it's cheaper and better for us and in the end, I AM THE SEXY ONE, NOT MY DRINK!! NO JOKE. The more hydrated I am the better I feel inside and out.
So, your 60 second tip for a better day: DRINK MORE WATER!!! You will eat less, spend less on acne medication and over priced coffee drinks, and you will be more sexy! What else could you ask for from a free and legal substance?
Until tomorrow BE BLESSED,
Lucy D.

DAILY TIP TO A BETTER AND SEXIER DAY: Feel Your Feelings (I promise you won't get arrested!)
We spend our lives in front of computers, hiding from co-workers, unwrapping tiny candies in attempt to add some flavor, some excitement, some sexiness to our lives. I have done it time and time again, but what if there was another way?
What if instead of masking our feelings of boredom, anger, or fear, we felt them? I know it's scary right? I could go on and on about my theory of feelings, but this is only a 60 second read so I'll keep my message short and to the point; we have feelings for a reason, don't try to hide from them or ignore them because they find you again and again and no matter how badly you want them to just go away, they won't until you acknowledge they are here to begin with.
As much as many of use don't believe it, feelings are here to help. They warn us of danger, tell us if we are miserable in a situation and need to change, or help us smile and laugh. Feel bored at work? Maybe you need a bigger challenge, not an ice cream cone. Feel angry? Talk it out with a friend. Instead of masking your life, make it come ALIVE!! Make it fun, make it sexy, make it what you want it to be!!
We all have excuses, and if you want to email them to me, Ill help you come up with a solution!! But until then, step away from the emotion killer candy bowl in the office center, FEEL YOU FEELINGs, and enjoy a a happy, healthier, sexier life!!!
Be blessed until tomorrow,
