Just where would we be without gratitude? Give yourself permission to appreciate EVERYTHING you have!!!

It's been a journey over the last year and a half to get back to you all but HERE I AM!!!!! We will start the road to happiness once again as the last several years have been quite the circus!!!!! I'm so thrilled to be able to share with you my genuine secret to climbing mountains and staying positive in the face of adversity. 

The world is a very complex place and people are complex as well. These complexities can exacerbate issues with mental health. This is an issue that I do not believe gets enough attention to garner the support that individuals and families need to combat it.  The days of people slipping through the cracks need to end and we as a society need to do our part, EVERY ONE OF US so that we become a healthier happy world.

This journey is going to be hard, ugly and really sad sometimes but the thought that it could help just one person is what gives us courage. 

With the new year upon us many people make resolutions to improve their lives. I have decided I want to improve the lives of those around me!!

Ugh! I love mean people............................said no one EVER!!!! Dealing with meanies in a manner that is out of compassion only helps us to grow into better individuals.

One of the most vivid memories I have as a child is the racism I experienced being a child of color growing up in predominately white environment. I had all kinds of racial slurs hurled at me and had absolutely no idea what they meant. This blissful ignorance I had I credit to my parents who were in no way racist. How did I become who I am and have the outlook I have at life today?

Remember that you are special and have so much to offer others!!!! Wine expert Aleks Knezevich from Domace Vino helped us pick the first bottle for our "small" review. He will be giving us our weekly vino to tell you about!!

Happy Thanksgiving! Still getting the ins and outs of a creating a podcast down so please excuse any hiccups. Thanks for listening and I hope each and every one of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Welcome all!!!

This Podcast has been in the making for some time at the request of some very dear people and my husband. I have FINALLY decided to take on the challenge because, hey, why not? 

I live in world that has just about everything I need to be happy. The secret to this is, I have CHOSEN to be HAPPY.  My Grandfather said something to me when I was a little girl that has stuck with me my entire life, "If you can not have what you want, WANT what you have".  THIS amazing saying I have repeated over and over and today I am living a life that I have intentionally planned for myself and the people who love me!

This Podcast explains how I do that through, setbacks, heartaches and disappointment. Here you will learn a little about dealing with some of the darkest things in life that some people sadly could not overcome. AND you will learn a little bit about WINE!!!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for tuning in and remember HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE!!!
