Thank you 2020

 I don't want to leave 2020 without thanking it first for the lesson and realizations it brought me. 

Thank you 2020: 

  • For helping me see that true happiness comes from within.  Finding happiness will appear when you practice self-love. 
  • Practicing grace on myself allowed me to accept that a bad moment doesn't make me a bad person.
  • Missing my dad only grows stronger by the day but I'm learning to use this pain as motivation to keep going. 
  • Staying home isn't too bad at all. I am grateful for having a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in each night. 
  • Moving my body for 45 minutes every day is something we all need and in doing so, makes me feel strong, happy, and accomplished. 
  • Keeping a gratitude journal and writing five things I was grateful for each day taught me to look for the positive side in people, events, and experiences. This practice allowed me to have a better relationship with God. 
  • Wearing a mask every time I go out, being friendly, and practicing kindness are the simple ways that I do to help spread positivity during these uncertain times and it's super easy to do. 
  • Letting go of items I no longer wanted or use, is very liberating.  It made me super happy to give away items to help others. One man's trash is someone else's treasure. Getting rid of the old to make room for new, is something I want to continue to do in 2021.
I'm looking forward to 2021 for many reasons. I want to continue my healthy habits, take more calculated risks, and find ways to expand my leadership skills. I'm open and ready to see what 2021 will bring. Let's do this! 

Thanks for reading, 

Mayra

Seeing the light

I'm sure you've heard of stories about other people having near death experiences they encounter when they find themselves in very dangerous situations.  I was watching a program as part of the Super Soul Sunday series of comedian Tracy Morgan talk about the accident that almost took his life about a year and half ago which happened on his drive home after doing a comedy show.  He talks about seeing his deceased father coming to him and telling him that he wasn't ready for him yet.  It made me think of my near death experience I had in high school.

Unanswered Prayers: Explained

When I was younger and naive, I used to pray a lot for the things I wanted and needed in my life.  A few years ago, I met a guy from an online dating site who I was certain he was the one for me. Over the years, I never truly understood why God didn't answer my prayers -- until now. It was very apparent to me that as this guy and I both grew up and live completely different lives; I noticed an overarching theme in his life where in the end, he has no inner peace in his life.  The drama in his life is still there as it was when I first met him many years ago but appear to be present in different ways.
