We Accept the Love We Think We Deserve
Hello Hapi People!
Today is a very special day. Its the 6th month mark of Zach and I's relationship. I'm not calling it an anniversary because it isn't technically a full year. However, 6 months is a significant amount of time to spend with someone. I know some of you are thinking, "Who cares?" lol, but I think it brings up an important subject.
Weak Strengths
Hello Hapi People!
I am going to hit the ground running this week with a lot of thoughts that will seem disjointed but just stick with me. I think in order not to upset anyone and to please everyone, people play things safe. I know that I am a people pleaser but I think I'm terrible at it. I want so badly to please people that I think I give up before I start sometimes. I'm so afraid of not pleasing that if I'm not around people - not contributing in their lives daily - that after awhile they won't want to talk to me. I'm never the one to speak first and it's something I regret. However, I can't change what has come to pass. My dad told me the other day - preempting the statement with "this is cliche" - that when one door closes another opens. I've stated that I don't know if this blog is a door to anything. I just want this to be a place to come and relate to people - I want to build a relationship here with readers. I think in order to build a good relationship I think you have to be fearless and trust yourself.

Your C.A.R.T.
Hello Hapi People!
I hope you are having a good week. I wasn't sure what to post about today but I thought I would give some tips and advice .... on generosity. I want this blog to be about things that make me happy but I don't want anyone to think happiness is all about intake. Giving people your compassion, attention, resources and time can bring you more happiness than receiving anything. Think about the last time someone sacrificed or gave something to you. Did you not appreciate their generosity? Giving from the "C.A.R.T." list (compassion, attention, resources and time) means you are giving a gift that you cannot get back. Being able to give from your own "C.A.R.T." and not focusing on yourself can be very rewarding and increase you happiness.
Quick! Help! I'm Stressin'!
Hello Hapi People!
Can you feel it? Spring is in the air, birds are chirping, flowers are blooming and .... STRESS IS HERE!!!
Spring can be a stressful time for everyone because a lot of events are happening. School is wrapping so students have finals and projects. Some people are graduating and moving on to college, grad school or higher, or going into the real world. Its tax season ... which speaks for itself. You may be looking for a summer job or trying to plan for the summer. Anyways, like I've said in a previous post, spring is a time for change and challenges. If you are like me, when I hear those words I think "Bring on the stress!" lol

Being Real Ya'll
This post was supposed to go out yesterday but I spent a lovely evening with my boyfriend after a very long week of barely seeing each other and decided that was priority. It’s been a long week of finals and I’m almost done. Those of
you who have been to school know how stressful it is during finals. I wasn’t
even sure if I wanted to post about this topic of school and finals but, I want
to be honest and real. In the spirit honesty, I have to say ... this semester
sucked! It was horrible and I wasn't at school the majority of the time. It was
difficult for me to be there from being sick, anxious, and not being able to
sleep. It is the last week of school. I have been doing my best to rest up for
this week and take my exams. I have one more to do this weekend but I'm pretty
much done. I know judgment will come but honestly it could have been
worse.
Positivi-tea
Hello Hapi People!
I'm looking at my calendar and its nearly the end of April - I can hardly believe it. This spring has been a beautiful one with wonderful weather here in Florida. Spring is always a time of change and this spring definitely has been a change in pace for me. Life has presented new challenges and delights that I have not before experienced. From challenges with my voice and school, thinking about the future, and having a serious and healthy relationship ... its a lot to take in. I believe though, that I let the challenges blind me from the opportunities and positivities in my life. I do try to look for the positives and blessings in my life. I thankfully have people in my life (who are blessings themselves) who remind me of them.
Slump Day Inspiration
Hello Hapi People!
It's Wednesday and I know by mid week I get that Hump Day Slump. I know some people find inspirational stuff cheesy, but I thought I would share some inspirational quotes and pictures I found on Tumblr (click link to find more). I like finding quotes and thoughts that give me a new outlook on life or say something in a new way. Just getting a little motivation to keep going can make all the difference in your attitude about everyday life. So whether you are having a hard, stressful week or you are just feeling down, uninspired, or discouraged - I hope these help a little.
