Toss It Overboard

Dear Friend,

Now that our year is coming to a close I begin look back I see that there was a beautiful mix of both good and bad. So my friend I would like to know what is it that you are going to leave behind? We carry so much dead-weight around whether it is broken ties, useless relationships, or bad habits; this weight keeps us staggering along our journey. Why walk around with so many anchors holding you in that stifled position. Honey I rather not be stuck at sea, hoping for a miracle to rescue me. I am sending you an S.O.S it's time to toss the weight overboard!!! There is no need for relationships that aren't moving anywhere. Furthermore, there is no need for us to continue habits that only leave our mind and heart shattered. Most importantly, if you do want to move forward, then make sure to travel light. You can't go everywhere holding on to everything and everyone. Please take some time out to consider the things that are most important to you right now, and for all the rest...it's time to toss it!!

~With Love, LadyV

Who Are You Around ?

Dear Friend,

If you are not careful you can let some people drive you absolutely insane. Honestly, these people aren't worth our time or peace of mind, yet we allow their loud obnoxious voices to torment our thoughts. Why? A lot of times it's because these "tormentors" are the ones closest to us. They are the same ones whom we love the most and innocently believe that they do not intend to harm us. Yes, we always want to believe that everyone we know wishes us the best, however they do not.

Therefore, we develop these excuse for how they are as human beings and why they treat us the way they do. Oh my favorite is the classic.."but they have been through so much in life", however believe me friend when I say, that there isn't any excuse for putting up with nonsense. At a certain point I honestly believe that these series of "stupid events", become cases of self-inflicted abuse. Although our "tormentors" are the ones with so much to say, we are their enablers. We consistently place ourselves in their presence with the expectations of them changing. Yet, they never do...they remain the same. Are the people you involve in your life really worth your time ? Rather they be loved ones, friends, coworkers, bosses, or anything that would normally be of importance to you...are they important enough to place your mental peace in jeopardy ?

The Grinch Stole....Your Happiness

Dear Friend,

Oh my it has been a while since the last time I wrote you a letter. With the holiday season finally here, it has been nothing but busy for me. Normally one would think that people would be a little more happy this time of year, but that's not the case. I have seen more anger this time of year than all of the rest. It's really a sad shame and waste of time. Forget the Grinch Stole Christmas cartoon favorite this year, somehow the Grinch stole your happiness. Well, I really need for you to go and get it back!! In the words of Elizabeth Gilbert, "Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it". Well, I may not be traveling right now to find that peace or happiness we all search for, but I can look within myself, and find reason to be happy. Honestly, there is something you can be grateful for, despite any circumstance.

With Love,

Lady V.
