Out and About Mondays- New Kingston Hotel

Image
I recently took my daughter to one of the hotels in New Kingston, Jamaica as a form of sightseeing. Since the age of 2,  she loves to go there to see the fishes (they have huge fishes). By now you must have guess that i love bodies of water. So, it is one of my favourite things to do. Every time i go to this hotel, i feel at peace because of there water features.  I hope you enjoy. Can you believe this was man made? See what i mean, huge fishes I thought this was a lovely touch. CUTE idea!!!!! This is another waterfalls. 'Lionesses on the Rise', I had to capture that phrase.

Positive Wednesday- MOTIVATION

I saw this video and it spoke to my heart and so i wanted to share it with you. I hope you find it helpful. P.S. You will be getting a report on the outcome of 'The Challenge Tag' later today.

I told you it was hard- The Challenge Tag

So my lovelies you know from my last post that i decided to spend a full 24 hours without turning on the computer. Well, here i am and the 24 hours is not up yet. It was hard but I started off great. Then, my mom asked me for a document she had asked me to type from last week. I had told her it was done but truth be told i had not even started.  So, i quickly turned on the computer to type away. Then,  i had to  email it. The rest is history. Here i am. So, i will try again tomorrow.  It's on!!!!!!!!  

I DARE You to Try-The Challenge Tag!!!!!!

It is about 12:08 am on Tuesday morning. I have been online since 11am on Wednesday morning. So, by my guess i have been on he computer for 12 plus hours. Can you say addiction. I have said it before that time flies when your on the computer but this is ridiculous. Therefore, i am going to issue myself a challenge. Now this is 'The Challenge', i will spend a full 24 hours without turning on my computer. That means no peeping to see what is going on with blogger, YouTube or my movies. I am going to make this challenge more interesting (after all it would not be a challenge if it was easy) by adding that i can only watch 4 hours of television during this 24 hour period. To add to this, i must document the period. It can be in the form of pictures, videos or a journal. I would love if you all could try this challenge and let me know what happened. Therefore, I am tagging all my friends, followers/readers and fellow bloggers. Once you have tried and blogged about it. Then, p

When a Door Closes a Window Opens- Positive Wednesdays

Recently, i was extremely disapointed, pissed and even hurt that i did not get a position that i wanted. Of course, to the outside world i was find with the outcome of the situation. However, deep down i was mourning the loss of something i thought i really needed and wanted. Needless to say, a window was being opened at the same time that door was closing. However, at that time i did not see the opportunties that were staring me in the face because i was so busy hanging on to what i thought was my loss. My question is: how many times have we allowed opportunities to pass us by because we are distracted by that proverbial closed door?  If you are guilty raise your hands. My hands would be up with yours but i am too busy typing. LOL!!! But, seriously i was taught growing up that we don't necessarily get what we want but actually what we need. Most importantly, we often get what is BEST for us.  So my lovelies, my charge for you today is: stop looking at that closed door

I Call It - ME TIME- DIY SUNDAYS

Today i was so busy preparing course outlines and targets that i totally forgot that i wanted to write a blog post. Is it only me or does the time fly by when you are on the computer. It often feels like when i blink five hours as already past by. I wanted to share  something my doctor keeps reminding me of every time i visit. Her favourite advice is for me to take more 'Me Time'. Being a single parent, i am often plague by the idea that i need to show two times the attention to my daughter. In doing so, it often takes a toll on my body and mind which is not good for me or my daughter.  Here are some tips that help me. Mind set: realize everyone needs some downtime: Sometimes it's hard not to be a 'super person' who is constantly on the move. Instead, we all need to take a break. Everyone needs a break now and then and it's important to recognize when you are feeling stressed, tired, or anxious. Taking time for one's self daily will help lesse
