Celebrate your life and children

Good Morning,
This is the last week of April, and I'm getting ready for my daughters birthday May Fifth.
Shes always very excited to have a party, not sure what we are going to do yet, so I need to start getting ready for it.

As my kids get older, and taller it seems like it has gone way to fast, time just has a way of going faster the older we get. I'm really trying to slow it down as much as I can.I'm even trying to enjoy the teenage years, and praying everyday that they will be able to resist all the peer pressure out there with drugs, and gangs...so far so good. I'm there everyday picking them up, and paying attention to whats going on, and who there friends are, and keeping the communication open.

I'm noticing The friends that my oldest son has that have really Mean and over strict moms, are all running away or being kicked out....How sad I hope that my kids will be able to live with me until College, or during College... I'm fine with that It is hard to make it out there, and I really want them all to go to College if at all possible. I know that teenage years are hard, and there will be many trials, so I'm embracing all the good times while they are here, and praying that God will give me the strength to handle the difficult times when they come. I Love my kids, and I make sure and tell them daily how much I do.

Celebrate Life where you are right now, and embrace all now, and live as this could be your last day, let go of the things that are not important, so what if your house is not perfectly clean everyday, so what if your laundry is done but not folded, relax it will get done eventually. Create good memories for your kids,Fold the laundry together, and take the time to talk to them. they are not going to want to remember you as always being mad, and a Sargent, Make the memories of you as Loving,as thoughtful, and as Happy as it can be , and a safe place to fall. Try not to take life so serious, and remember all the pressure you felt as a kid. Have some compassion.

There is enough meanness out in the world, and so many obstacles. Wouldn't it be great if they could come home to a safe happy place a place that they love to be. You can make your house a safe loving home that even your teenagers want to be there. I know as Mothers we want to make sure that they are doing there responsibility's, but we also don't want to be so mean, and so strict that they hate us, and cant wait to run away...There needs to be a happy medium.

Peace, and Love Always, Ursula

Trials will come choose not to focus on them

Good Morning,
Most of the time I'm very positive, but once in awhile in every ones life there are things, and situations that happen that test how your going to react to the situation, and for me last week, and this week so far have been that way. I guess I take for granted that my life is pretty amazing, and then when situations happen to rock the boat..I feel the pressure a little bit.

No matter whats going on in your life remember to still stay positive, and believe there is a God that surpasses all understanding, and we do not no the future we just get to trust daily that God will not give us more than we can handle daily. In the past before I choose this happy positive life I choose to live. I would sit around, and have pity parties with myself, and who ever would join me.. misery loves company.

Not anymore there is alot going on in my life right now things I have no control over, I choose not to say what they are because I don't want negative situations to have any power, and when you focus on them "You get what you focus on" So I choose to focus on all the wonderful positive areas of my life... and this to shall pass. The more I focus on the positive the less the trials affect me, and I trust that all will be fine, as it always is.

Ive learned that the more I take care of myself, and keep positive thoughts the less the trials become, and soon there gone without affecting my life, and my Home business. We have the power to shift are mind set to happy whenever we want, and it takes alot less energy to be positive than it does to be negative. Stress is the leading health hazard for our body's...Worrying, and being stressed out are no longer part of my life. It is what it is...So relax, and stay in peace no matter what trials come your way.

Life is full of many gifts and blessings, and whatever someone else does it does not have the power to change you or effect you. Live everyday to the fullest loving yourself, and loving others as you would yourself, and treat people the way that you want to be treated, and Celebrate Health, Life, Peace, and Love Always..Nothing Else matters...Keep your Heart pure.

Peace, and Love Always, Ursula

bad medicine

Good Morning,
Last night I had a big scare with my husband , he had been taking medication for a ear infection that his doctor prescribed to him, and was having a bad reaction to it , but kept on taking it even though it was making him sick.... hoping that it would clear up his ear infection. Last night he took a pill right before he went to bed with some milk, and started feeling sick right away. Finally he fell asleep, and woke up to pain in his upper chest pancreas area, so bad that he didn't know if he was having a heart attack or what was happening. he woke me up, and said I needed to take him to the hospital right away, and that's when I knew it was serious.

Rushed him to the hospital, and he couldn't even fill out his information let alone find his insurance card, so I filled out everything, and they rushed him back to a room took some blood, x-rayed, and did a heart EKG, and then all of a sudden the pain stopped, and he was fine. So all the results came back fine except they wanted him to have a ultrasound to check his pancreas at a latter time, because he had to work today and it was already three in the morning. He gets up at four in the morning for work, so who knows what happened, and why he was in so much pain it remains a mystery, or that bad medicine he was taking...the medicine is now in the garbage never to be taken again by him.

WE really need to listen to our bodies if your taking a medication that your doctor gave you, and your system cant handle it... stop taking it, and call your doctor and get something else. you never know what you could be allergic to or what does not agree with your system.
Its so important to listen to your body, and take great care of it... because its all we have.

I know now that life is more important than ever, and I want to celebrate great health, great family, and friends, and do my best to stay aware of what I put in my body, and my family's body. health is at the top of my list today. stay safe and well today, and always. Please remember to tell the people in your life how much you love them daily.

Peace and Love Always, Ursula

Earth Day

Good morning,
Happy Earth Day to you all. What are you doing to make a difference, My family has been green for many years it makes such a difference in everything. Solar, recycling, energy star everything, lowering heat, and air during days, unplugging appliances your not using, switching to energy star light bulbs, and on and on,

We need to do this daily to make a difference not just on Earth day, also all green , and organic food, and cleaning supplies. When you make these changes, you not only help the Earth you help yourself, and your family... by saving money, and saving your health, and the environment.

Its not hard to live this way once you start. take a look at everything in your house, and make sure you have all energy star everything, and they even recycle old appliances and give you money for them, and then look around your house and unplug everything your not using, toasters, charger cords, coffee makers, and on and on they all use a certain amount of power, so unplug, or turn off the power strips. Together we can make a difference everyday, and it doesn't take much effort to recycle everything either.

Lets work together today, and always and make this the greatest Earth ever. Use less water, and wash with cold water, and get green light switches Eco dimmer switch's, there are many ways we can make these changes today, and always, so I encourage you, and myself to do the research, and find out all the positive changes that you can do today to make a huge difference.

Peace, and love always, Ursula

Being a parent

Good morning,
Wow, does it feel like the older we get that time just goes by faster..It feels that way to me the days just go by so fast, no matter what I'm doing. Last night my daughter, and I made homemade finger steaks... have you ever made them it is a messy process my boys, and husband just love them. If my oldest son is at his friends house, and I call and say I'm making finger steaks he says" OK mom come and get me I'm ready to come home"...They all love them I don't make them very much though because they are fryed, but I figure they love them so much that once a month, or so wont hurt.

Does your family have a favorite meal that everyone loves? Its a great way to get them home and keep them home by making wonderful meals that they love. I will do anything to keep them off the streets my son has a friend that thinks they need to run the streets all night long, and I don't agree with that, so whatever it takes to keep them home and safe I will do.

It is our job as parents to enforce the rules, and establish good boundary's for our kids, and teach them integrity. They should be the best that they can be, as well as good students. Being a mom we will fail, because we are not perfect, so all we can do is guide them In the right direction, and pray they will make healthy choices for themselves. we don't have to sit around, and worry about them we just get to trust that the values that we have instilled in them will prevail.

BY your example, and being a good role model they will learn what they need to learn, and the path they choose is there choice. We don't know the future so we get to trust daily, and pray that everything will work out. I also believe that your kids need you even more when they are teenagers, and they need to count on you, and know that you love them. My three kids I take them to school, and pick them up everyday. I get to know there friends, and everything that is going on in there life, and I feel so blessed to be apart of that daily...Its the greatest gift ever to be present daily in my kids life. Are communication is strong, they tell me everything.

They will soon be grown, and I will no that I was so blessed to be a active mom in there life daily, without missing out on anything, some days can be hard, but most of them because of the way I choose to live my life... are such a blessing. Celebrate your life and your children's, and never go through a day without telling your family, and friends how much you love them.

Peace, and Love Always. Ursula

positive passion

Good Morning,
How great it is to be doing exactly what I want to do daily by running my own schedule, and doing what I love. It reflects my whole well being, and I feel healthier, and happier, than I have ever felt before. When you nourish your mind body, and soul it is magic.

When you evaluate, and write down things in your life. what do you focus on Positive or Negative? Write down all the positive things in your life, and then write down the Negative which one is more. By focusing on all the positive in our life... we attract more.. just by are thoughts, and actions ...we get to focus on what we want to create in our life.

Living your life's purpose is so important to live your best life, and discovering your gifts. Loving what you daily makes all the difference in everything you do. It effects your personality, and well being. Love yourself, and treat people the way that you want to be treated. make a difference in your daily life by loving yourself, and others... and being integrus, and a giver.

We only have one life to live so live it great and strive to be the best that you can be today, and always.
Peace, and Love Always, Ursula

Loving Life

Good Morning,
The Weather is so sunny, and beautiful here..Life is great.
Kids are off to school, husband at work, and I get the house to myself, after a fun filled weekend with my family, lots of action when everyone is home. I just finished my workout... how great it is to have a home gym, I love that. Now today consists of advertising, and doing laundry, and opening the doors ,and opening the windows and letting the fresh air in.

I get to find a good recipe for a great healthy tasting dinner, and do what I love advertising, and making money from the comfort of my home. Life is so great, and wonderful... when you are doing what you love, and being with the people that make you the happiest.

I remember when I worked outside the home how stressful it was balancing everything, now I fill no pressure only Love , and Peacefulness, and because I exercise and eat right I feel strong and healthy, and fabulous. I have a great garden that's already starting to grow with wonderful herbs, and I only use natural organic cleaning supplies, and organic foods as much as possible.

We only have one life so we might as well live it to the fullest, making healthy choices for ourselves, and our family. How great it is to make healthy choices for your life daily, and when you do that for yourself you get a burst of energy daily... that you never knew existed before.

I choose to live well, happy vibrant , and excited daily for more to come. Loving myself, my family, friends, and work, and my beautiful Home... which I get to spend so much time at. Are you living your life to your fullest, loving yourself and your life? If not change it" if not now than when".


Peace, and Love always, Ursula

Thursday

Good Morning,
I was loving the weather yesterday it got up in the seventy's, and was so sunny and beautiful, and then I woke up this morning to rain, and cloudy weather...crazy right.
Oh well I was going to work in my front rose garden today, but there is always tomorrow.

Just as life we have no control of everything that happens. My fifteen year old son for some reason goes to high school, and has no idea what is going on...He will say I have a three hour delay tomorrow, or there is No school, and I will say why, and he says " He has no idea" I'm constantly calling the School to find out what is going on...Does anyone else have this problem with there Teen... they seem to be in there own little world, or at least he is.

Now my daughter on the other hand Nos everything that is going on weeks in advance, and has it all mapped out planned , and reminds me daily whats going on in School, and plans it all out. How amazing the difference in kids. They are all so different, and unique that's for sure they keep me hopping.

Don't you love how you get to be a free taxi service for your kids, and everyone Else's kids. It amazes me how many activities, and events go on in the evening. We do always manage to have a great home cooked meal however, I'm always marveled to drive by the fast food places in the evening, and see how busy they are...Does everyone eat fast food, at night after the sporting events? No wonder there is so much child obesity....How sad kids need healthy nourishing foods, and dinner, as a family to catch up on the day.

Slow down talk more with your children, and spouse, and find out what is important to them, and make wonderful healthy nourishing meals for your family, and even when they have no idea what is going on at School... love them and celebrate everyday you have together. Make it a safe place that your kids can be, and be able to talk to you....Keep the communication strong even with the teenagers small vocabulary, because of the texting world.

Peace, and Love Always, Ursula

embrace your Life

Good Morning,
Just got my kids off to school, and finished a great workout. Now its time to talk to all of you, which I love to do. I never thought I would ever be a blogger, but it has become something that I enjoy doing. I encourage you to find things in your life that you love and embrace it.

There is something about writing out your feelings, and things that are going on in your life, that is so therapeutic to me. Learning to embrace my life just as I am, and excepting the daily challenges that come my way. Sometimes in life we just get to embrace all that comes are way, and learn the life lessons, from going through hard, and good times. If we take one day at a time doing the best we can daily, then that's all we are expected to do, and on the days you don't get everything done on your to do list...Guess what its not the end of the world... there is always another day.

Find out what is working in your life, and make it better, and the things that are draining you, and are not working delete them. You have the power to make your life the greatest life ever. We all have areas in are life that we need to work on. We have the power to make the positive changes in our life, and we get to embrace all areas of are life...Learn some great stress relievers. instead of yelling at the things that we can not change, and situations that happen, and negative people you may come in contact with...Let it go ... find a great stress reliever, like take a long walk, workout in your home, listen to positive affirmations, meditate, or read a great book...you get the idea. The more you do things to nourish your body, and soul the less likely you will focus on the things you cant change anyway.

Have you ever talked to someone, and all they talked about was everything negative....I say to them and you" STOP THE INSANITY".
It takes so much more energy to frown than it does to smile, so smile always and make today, and everyday the greatest, most fantastic Day ever... You Deserve to be Happy.

Peace, and Love Always, You are the greatest, Ursula

Taking one day at a time

Good Morning everyone,
Its so beautiful outside right now the grass is so green, and my tulips have bloomed, and soon roses that surround my backyard,and lilac bushes are started to smell amazing...How great it makes you feel to be surrounds on a daily basis with everything you love.

I wake up everyday doing what I love, and that is the key to my happiness, even when things don't go as I planned... which is life, I handle it with positive energy.
Yesterday was one of those Mondays. I got the kids to school, came home and decided I better work on my arms because short sleeve weather is coming, and as we age we need to use weights in our workouts, it is so very important. After my cardio, and arm workout, I decided to do some more advertising, and then I get a call from my son who says "Mom you need to come to school I got a step four" Which means that he can not go back to class until I meet with his teacher.

I said son what did you do and he said"Talking when I wasn't suppose to " Can you believe that us parents get called to school for the craziest reasons, So after I handled that I came home ate lunch cleaned the house, did some laundry, and then the UPS guy came to deliver my new Mothers Day present my beautiful new laptop, that I had to sign for ...I went outside to sign for it, so that my little dogs would stop barking at the poor guy, and forgot my door stays locked when it shuts, and locked myself out. I said oh no I'm locked out and he said" are you going to be OK", and I remember thank god my back sliding door was opened, all I had to do is climb my six foot chain link fence to get to it, So I left my computer on our boat, and jumped the fence, so needless to say there is never a dull moment in my life, I can create excitement when ever I want. lol.

Take life as it comes and celebrate, and embrace the things that happen, because it always worksout so theres no reason to freak out because that just makes things worse. Enjoy everyday to the fullest, and surround yourself with positive people, and you cant please everyone, so just please yourself...That's what I say.

Peace, and Love Always, Ursula

Follow Your Peace

Good Morning Everyone,
Well I finally filled out the Census form today, I thought I better before they come knocking on my Door...Wondering how many people live with me. It fills really good to have my schedule back exercising, Advertising, and having quiet time, I love my kids but as you all know when you have quiet time it is great, because then you have time to listen to the small voice inside... to help guide, and lead you to your Peace. Peace that surpasses all understanding.

I learned after having my kids that if I did not allow myself to have my quiet time. I was not going to make it. I have to have that time to recharge. If your cup is empty how do you expect to take care of anyone else.... Unless your whole, and peaceful..How can you be at your best.

In order to accomplish staying peaceful, and walking in Love....You must first start with loving yourself, and spending quiet time with yourself. What I have learned is you cant run from yourself by staying so busy that you make no time for yourself, eventually it will catch up with you, and you may not like what you see in the mirror when you finally slow down. You cannot run from yourself, so you might as well learn to Love and nourish your, mind body, and Soul.

When you learn to slow down, and embrace yourself then , and only then will other people, because whole people attract whole people, and half of a person, attracts half of a person thinking that will make them whole, and guess what now you have two people that are not whole. Many problems can arise because of this. It is never to late to look deep in your heart, and discover your true authenticity. Allow yourself to be, and make sure you set aside a time daily to do this for yourself...You deserve the greatest, most wonderful Life that you can possibly live. If not now, then when.... You get to ask yourself this question.

Something magical starts to happen when you allow yourself to be still, and follow your peace within your heart, and focus on one day at a time, and live a stress free lifestyle Doing what you love, and then finding a way to get payed for it. Always remember "Selfish is Self care"and God will never give you more than you can handle on a daily basis.

Peace, and Love Always, Ursula

It starts with you

Good morning Everyone,
I have been trying to stay as positive, as possible even though the weather outside is dark, and cold. soon It will be nice, and sunny. My middle son came home sick yesterday, so far so good today every ones healthy.

Life is full of many ups, and downs... its how we choose to deal with them is what matters most. We get to keep the faith even through the storm, because it always gets better. just like in life we only have control over are self nobody else. I only have the power to do whats right in my heart, and I cant control anyone else, or try and change anyone Else's thoughts and actions, so don't kid yourself thinking you can change anyone else because you cant.

We only can change our self, and hope by are changing for the better that the rest will follow. Be a good positive role model, and see what happens, Sometimes it just happens naturally, as long as we are not being a nag or controlling. If you are looking for a change of attitude, and you think its everyone around yous fault... your wrong, because it starts with you. How you feel about yourself is how you feel about people...Do you Love yourself? Do you care what other people think or feel about you? Do you live to please everyone else? I challenge you, and myself to evaluate your life, and make sure that you make the necessary change today to take great care of yourself... by Loving yourself, and having a great positive attitude no matter what the weather is , no matter who is mad all around you, no matter if everyone doesn't like you, because the only one you have to be concerned with is yourself.

I encourage you today to make today, and everyday great by loving yourself, and being a great person, and doing great things for yourself , and putting yourself at the top of your to do list, and see if this makes a difference in your life, and your family's life. You do not have to worry about the storm... you get to breeze right through it. Be your best, Love yourself, and do what you Love, and watch miracles happen.... I promise It all starts with you.

Peace, and Love Always, Ursula

Springbreak

Good Morning Everyone,
I took last week off of work, and Blogging. I have to say I missed it. I had a great week with my kids they are growing so fast, and I feel like I want to cherish the time I have with them while I can. It was great not being on a set schedule, just being spontaneous, and doing what we wanted day by day.

My middle son got to go to rafter reef indoor theme park with his friends family for two days, and that was a great start to his spring break. My oldest had his friend with him joined at the hip, he basically moved in with us for a week, because his family works, and my daughter had her friends over, and they went to there house. They roller skated, and had lots of fun.

At the end of the week we didn't do any traveling it just didn't work out, so we decided to rent a Hotel with an indoor pool and travel 5Min's from are house instead, to make it feel like we were on a short little get away. My husband was suppose to have Friday through Sunday off, but it ended up they needed him to work overtime Friday and Saturday...So I ended up watching the teens at the Hotel. My oldest had his two friends stay the night, and my middle boy could not find any friends... they were all out of town, and my daughter had two of her friends just come and swim until 9:00pm. It took 6 pizzas to feed everyone.

WE had adjoining rooms so the teen boys got there own room, and my husband, and daughter in our own room, but still no sleep, because my husband was so tired from working, all day that he snored, and the boys next to us of course stayed up all night playing the ps3 games...that we brought, and being loud, and I took a 4 hour energy drink at 8:00pm so I couldn't sleep at all, so needless to say there was no sleep that night, and my husband had to get up and leave to go to work at 5:00am.

I woke up at 7:00am to the smell of breakfast cooked from the Continental Breakfast, and so I took a shower, and we all ate breakfast, of course I woke up the teen boys since they kept us up all night... they complained and ate there breakfast, and then they just wanted to sleep, so I packed up everything, and made them take it out, and took the extra boys home, and we came home, and relaxed the rest of the weekend doing what we do.

Have a great Day everyone, Peace, and Love Always, Ursula
