Stepping out in Confidence
August 18, 2018, the day I hosted my first event, "Stepping out in Confidence." The event was my way to reach others and help them live the life they wanted and deserved, but it didn't occur to me until the day of the event that I was taking one of the biggest steps in my own life as well.

30 Journal Entries for Self Discovery - Day 1
I have seen a lot of people doing journal entries to help with self-love or self-discovery. Obviously, most people keep these private because they are a personal journey. I belong to a few writing communities and I've seen people rave about how awesome they are. I asked a lot of my writer/ journal keeping friends which one they followed, and I think I have it narrowed down to the one, in my opinion, will actually teach me to learn about myself a little more. Instead of keeping a secret journal entry and all that, I decided to make it public and answer a question a day as a 'journal entry,' and give my ideas on how each question helps us with self-love. This is my first entry. You can follow along and do it with me or just judge me if you want. Please keep in mind these are my personal journal entries, I'm just trying to give out as much of an idea of what I think of these prompts. I don't want people to think I'm writing one sentence and then judging the questions based off of my no-effort answer, which is part of the reason I'm making it public. Thanks for following along. Remember "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." - Earnest Hemmingway

The Art of Gratitude
Gratitude is something that many people fail to practice. Every day you can hear a glimpse of a conversation and hear someone complaining about some circumstance or another. Usually it is a small inconvenience upon their life. It is very easy to complain about every bad thing in life, but many people find it very difficult to be grateful for all the small things in life. There are so many people in this world that are worse off than you are right now. Even the fact that you have access to technology to read this article right now is something you probably took for granted. Everyone has something to be grateful for and many people forget to acknowledge all the good things in their life. People like to focus on the bad things; it is more interesting than the good things.

4 Simple Keys To Maintain Good Energy Today
Your mind, body, and soul are composed purely of energy. For this reason, what you feel translates into how you feel. And if you often feel sick, depressed, anxious, or afraid, your energy may be dispersed in too many directions, causing chaotic emotions and reactions.

Bitches Get Shit Done
My dad always told me when I was growing up, that I shouldn't trust anyone and to always look out for myself first. "Be kind to others, but not at the expense of your own happiness." I think those were his exact words... or something like it. Looking back, I wish I would've listened harder to his advice. I was so dead set on being right, that I didn't look out to see everything I was doing wrong. I thought I was so lucky. I could've sworn I had awesome friends who loved me for who I was. I could not have been more wrong. My dad repeatedly tried to tell me that they were using me. At the time, I didn't know how he knew right off the bat that they were using me. It didn't make any sense. Until I realized why. It took me about nine years to realize it was because he had known people just like the friends I had chosen. He had had friends just like the friends I had. It took dropping out of college and getting pregnant for me to realize who my true friends were. It took a ton of people abandoning me when they realized I had run out of money to spend on them. It took me overhearing one of the people I considered my best friend calling me a cunt and saying that she was just friends with me because of the parties I threw to realize that my dad had been right all along.

Systematical Errors
Have we ever wondered what life itself is supposed to bring us? We are supposed to be these happy go lucky people although we are nowhere near happy. Behind every "happy" face there is a world of wondering if everything is going to be okay; there is one thing that we are not admitting to ourselves. Everything that happens in our life has a word based upon it. Happiness is just a word that is put behind a smile because it takes too many muscles to frown. Depression is just a word that we are supposedly "diagnosed" with when we are considered "abnormal," but what is normality? The world revolves around thousands and thousands of words behind meaningless emotions as we feel them. We may seem happy, when reality comes up behind us and makes us choose whether we want to smile or take the effort to frown. The world is a disaster and we are afraid to admit the worst to ourselves. We fear reality. We fear what is supposed to be a reality that we have to fight for. It's cruel and unusual!

Fear
Fear. Everyone has one. Some may say they don’t, but in truth, everyone has a fear. I have multiple fears. I have a fear of spiders. A fear of snakes. I have a fear of singing in front of people. Otherwise known as stage fright. I have a fear of being rejected. Although I think everyone has the fear of being rejected. I have a fear of being hurt by someone I have fallen in love with. Again, I believe everyone has this fear. Fear is something that is a constant thing in some people’s life. You never know when you won’t have any time left to do anything. So, do all that you can. Use that fear to push yourself to do things you are scared of. Like for me, even though I am scared of singing in front of people, I have started to record myself singing with songs. I will put them with a video of pictures then post them online. Another thing I am doing is going live on live.me and singing. So far, people have been kind. They haven’t said anything bad. In the past there have been people who have said bad things. But I ignore them and keep doing it. I am scared of being rejected by someone I have fallen in love with. I have actually fallen for this guy and I am so scared that he is going to reject me. I mean why wouldn’t he? He can find someone better than me.

The Houses of the Zodiac: House #3
Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth. At the time when you were born, every planet and star and thing up there in the universe was in a specific place. Doesn't seem like it matters, but it absolutely does. Your birth chart displays where all those planets and stuff were, and this contributes to the magic that is your personality.
