Money can be a measurement of success but surviving the abscence of money can also equal success. This week I got a free full size Aveda bath salt for my birthday from the store. I also received a free pastry at Starbucks. Let's not forget my bestie Victoria giving me a free panty. I almost missed the free card for Aveda because I was bogged down with all the bills. However, two days ago I faced the music and began sorting my mail when unbeknowest to me for the past two weeks, there was a postcard for a FREE $20 value bath salt from smelly good Aveda. I guess the lesson is to LOOK for the fabulousness that will arrive in your mailbox next. In the even bigger picture: what fabulous happening could arrive in your LIFE next? Focusing on what I don't have just makes me feel worthless when in acuality I'm worth a whole hella lot! I inspire people with my survival skills. I've survived two parents dying before I graduated high school. I was the first in my family to graduate College with a Bachelors degree! It's sometimes hard to remember past successes as we get sucked into the daily grind. In "Pretty Woman" Vivienne said "it's easier to believe the bad stuff than the good, ya ever notice that". Refocus and remind yourself of your good. In saying this, I don't regret my last post. I hate to post negativity because I think it's counterproductive and mostly doesn't help others. I don't want to experience negativity so why would others wanna read it? However, I'm human. I want you to know everyday isn't sunshine and cupcakes(with zero calories) but; with a little hope and faith, sunshine will be pouring in with an overflowing amount of yumo cupcakes soon.
