Life in a Fog
Have you lost your focus in life? As an author I get questions on a daily basis asking me where do I get my inspiration to write and how can they get on track with the things that they want to do in life. My reply is always to focus in the silence before making a move. In other words, as we travel along the road of life, we encounter areas of fog that impeded us from seeing ahead to what is in front of us.
When we are driving the car of life, we may look in the rear view mirror at what was just passed and think, if only we can change what happened we could change our future. The reality is that we need to look ahead and not focus on what we left behind. The issue is that our vision is clouded in a fog and we can’t focus on what we are to do next.
Many things can cloud our vision with fog for instance stress, illness and lack of motivation. What we can do is to take some time by ourselves to refocus on what we are supposed to do with ourselves. We can pray, write our thoughts and allow our gifts (we all have them) to guide what we want to do. No matter what we do in our life, we all have a God given gift; something that we are very good at and that should be something that we use to channel our time when we are not working.

Love What You Do
Do you love what you do? There are many people who work jobs because they need an income and they can’t take what they love to do to make a living.
There are many get rich schemes out there that promise you that you can own your own business and do what you are meant to do.
Many contemplate doing those schemes to be happy because they long to do what they love doing, whether it is being an author, planning weddings, building cabinets, doing hair and make up, acting, dancing, and any other love that they have. While not everyone is doing what they love, take a moment to think about what you do for work daily. Think of who is being impacted with the work that you do. The attitude that you go to work with can move you along to be satisfied in everything that you do in your life. If you have a love for dancing for instance, but you are not able to leave your job to be a famous ballerina because of the commitment that is involved going from audition to audition and the income required to train, buy dance outfits, and pay bills, then look at your current job differently. Look at your job as the vehicle that can satisfy the desire that you have to dance or any other love that you have. Your job allows you the freedom to pay for a hobby that makes you who you are.
Many people will say but there are others that have a business in wood cabinetry for instance, but yet I do not receive enough business to make my own store and pay employees. Do your current job with love, as if working for God, maybe it is not meant for you to have the stress of owning your own business and waiting for income to come in to pay your bills. If you are good at cabinet making and you enjoy it, continue to do it as a hobby because you will enjoy it more than if you had to depend on it as a sole source of income, then it would become a chore or rather “a job” that you “have to do.”
Don’t think that the work you daily for pay is insignificant. Pray as you go about your work day and see that in no time you will use your job as a vehicle to advance the things that you love to do as a hobby without any commitments or pressure and they will become enjoyable. Volunteer your time and talents with others because it can’t always be about making a dollar. If in your heart you make room to help someone, you will find in life that others will make room in their heart for you.

Live the Simple Life
Do you remember when you were a kid how life seemed so simple? You would wake up to eat, get dressed and go play outside with the neighbor kids when you were not in school. Your parents would call you in for lunch and then you would go back out and play until dinner time. Relationships were built on true friendships and getting to know a person. Today we are much more advanced and we have a greater reach of friends and followers according to our facebook and twitter accounts. There are many people I speak to daily that say they just do not do the social media and opt to really get to know someone instead of trying to compete in the world of electronics and who is having what crisis and drama that day. Too much of one thing is not good, we have entirely too much social media time for ourselves and our kids.
Let’s get back to the simple things in life, when we can wake up each morning and sit at the kitchen table and read a book, talk with our significant other, or read with our kids without feeling like we have to check in with the world first.
When you go to work and have your lunch break, take a brown bag and go outside in our beautiful Florida weather and eat your lunch outside then enjoy a walk with a coworker or by yourself.
Call or write a snail mail to a friend to let them know how much you appreciate them instead of sending them a quick text or email.
We have so much beauty around us, let’s take time to enjoy God’s creation each and every day.

The Everyday Blessings
Did you ever think about that dress you wanted to get but you just could not swing it this week or the house upgrades that you want to do, but short of charging your credit card till it maxed out, you were not able to afford it? Those are the wants that in life we desire and make us say we are just not blessed despite helping others. The reality of that statement is so untrue.
Daily we are blessed with just waking up, breathing air and opening our eyes. There are days that we wake up feeling like we have not accomplished much of anything, but when we step back and look at what we have done and what we have around us, no matter how small it is, we realize, yes, we are blessed. We may not feel that the blessing is exactly what we want in life (for some the big house, vacations, fancy cars, etc) but at the end of the day, looking at others around us in our own city, we are. Think of the many that long to have a home and they can’t because they lost their job and they are just barely getting by. Think of the parent that wants to have a baby, but infertility is in the way or if they do have a baby, the baby for some reason is born premature changing their lives forever.
Today, take a moment to reflect on your many blessings and share them with those around you. A cup of tea or coffee goes a long way.
