EXAGGERATED Spices

Hello all, Sorry I haven't posted In awhile, I've been busy with work and other daily life drama. Just to keep my promise in my previous post I changed the route I went to work the next morning and tried out a new local coffee shop! Both CHANGES weren't too shabby. Today I'm going to discuss people who exaggerate to make you feel sorry for them. This is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves. Don't tell me you jogged 5 miles when you jogged 3 and walked 2, don't tell me you forgot about your other plans when really you just don't have the guts to tell me you changed you mind, don't tell me your cell phone bill was 200 bucks when it was 150, don't tell me you were sick for a week when it was a 48 hour bug. I'm not going to feel sorry for an exaggerated person. So go throw yourself a self pity party. It's not about you darling, it't not about your made up, fake, exaggerated life. Put yourself in the spotlight by telling the truth. Give your regular life a chance to breathe one breath without it being a tale.

ROUTINE Salad With ROUTINE Dressing

Today's discussion, being ROUTINE. I fight with this almost daily as I wake up every day at 6:40 a.m, wash my face, brush my teeth, attempt to fix my hair, put on my makeup while watching the TODAY SHOW, sit through traffic (and rant out loud to terrible drivers), park in the same spot where I do every other day, & pass the same people in the building giving a head nod until I get to my desk & begin my daily duties. Sounds interesting right? Wrong. But this sounds like the common story I share with probably several people who are reading this blog. We are so used to being ROUTINE and living our ROUTINE lives. We are used to ordering the same thing off the menu at our favorite restaurants & drive thrus. Taking the same route to work. All of these things we are guilty of. Being ROUTINE in our ROUTINE lifestyles. It's a personal choice, are you okay with walking in your own shoes the same way everyday? What IF we CHANGED some of these ROUTINE things & MIX it up a little? Wear heels, instead of flats? Hair up instead of down? Why not try something new off the menu?  Take a different route to work for a change of scenery? Try a new recipe? Try a new restaurant with your partner or friend? Apply for a better position? These are just a few ideas! Don't be scared, this is my challenge, for you & myself, try something new today, if not today, no later than tomorrow. Next blog I will report back to you what I did to CHANGE my ROUTINE LIFESTYLE & how i felt about it.  




Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.

Food Chain

As in nature, there exists a food chain AKA a series of organisms interrelated in their feeding habits, the smallest being fed upon by a larger one, which in turn feeds a still larger one, etc. It's the same theology I use to describe the work place & every day life. People exist somewhere along the "food chain" and have their own place. As in the animal kingdom, Lions know they are somewhere pretty high on the list & antelope know that they are beneath the lion.  In the office setting, the supervisor knows they are in charge of the assistant, the assistant knows they are to obey the supervisor. Why do people forget their place in the "food chain"? What errks me more than anything is when people "pretend to be a lion". Hey I got news for them, go ahead and play leader of the pack, but when the "real" lion comes out to feed and catches the antelope whose at the watering hole not paying any attention, It'll make for a vicious surprise attack. FYI, stay where you belong in the daily "food chain", keep your "wanna be a lion" feelings to yourself & understand and cope with the fact your  just an antelope.
