Can no one have an opinion these days?
So recently, I wrote a blog about the new laws that our governor in the state of Florida has passed. I actually went to the government website and copied the laws word-for-word. I posted this, and wouldn't you know it? The haters came for me, and you wouldn't believe how many haters came at me. Calling me all kinds of names like. I even said in the blog that I got this from a government website, but it didn't matter.
People have no respect for one another. People can not stand that another person has an opinion that is different than theirs. They will jump all over you. They will call you names. They will even try to “cancel” you. This is getting ridiculous. Everyone's allowed to have their own opinion. Don't you remember what your mother told you? Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. It's fine. If you don't like somebody's opinion, then keep scrolling.
But you don't get to call somebody names because you don't agree with their opinion, please grow up!
Trust and believe there are many times I'm scrolling and I see something and I don't agree with somebody's opinion. Well, I have 3 choices, and you know what they are?
I could either delete them.
I can block them.
Or I could just keep scrolling and shut my damn mouth.
I don't need to get on their page and tell them what an idiot I think they are because their opinions are different from mine. Who the hell am I? That I feel so important or entitled to think that my opinions are the end all, be all.
What's that going to solve? Is it going to make them change their opinions? Of course it's not. So mind your damn business and keep it moving!
So today, my friends and all the haters out there. News flash! Everyone is entitled to their opinion. You don't get to bully them to change their mind. Your opinion is just that, your opinion. That is why we live in a free country. We all get to have our own opinions without being prosecuted. So get over yourself, because it seems like no one can have an opinion these days.

Thoughts become things
There are a lot of ways to say this, that thoughts become things. Recently, my youngest said she wanted to read the Secret. She said she was blown away by the concept of this book while I was blown away because she was reading at all! (Maybe with all I speak about, they are actually listening??)
She said this guy who wrote the book was a great writer. I told her that yes, but this wasn't his idea. He just wrapped it in a new package. This was a concept going back thousands of years. It started from the Bible. Yes, you heard me right, the bible.
"You reap what you sow,"
Same thing as "You get what you put out in the universe."
"If you believe, you shall have"
"Ask, and you shall receive"
Same thing that is different in packaging, but however you get there, it is the message that is important.
If you keep saying I'm broke, you're going to continue to be broke. If you say I'm never getting out of this situation, guess what? You're not!
If all you sow is negatively, doubt, fears, bad energy that is what you're getting back, in abundance!
I never once thought, when I changed my mindset, that I would be stuck in that horrible marriage forever. I knew there were bigger and better things in store for me.
I believed it as if it had already happened. I never gave up, even when year after year went by with no change.
I still held on to the dream. Until it came true, and it was way better than I could have dreamed of...way, way better!
But here is the key to making it happen… I changed my mindset.
You have to be willing to change your mindset, to throw your old ideas out. You need to change what you speak. You need to get rid of negative people and commit to believing even while you're going through the storm. You need to never give up!
Say what you want, write it, speak it to the universe, or to anyone who will listen. Make a vision board, dream it, act like it is already yours, and you're living it at this moment. Don't let others rain on your parade if they don't believe in your dreams. It's not your job to assure them or explain to them. Because they won't be coming with you when your train comes in.
I speak about my NY Times best-selling book, my international blog, and my tour. I keep telling people never to give up. I have now added Oprah Super Soul Sunday and Tyler Perry making my movie! Hell yeah, I dream big. If you're going to dream, why dream small. I believe in my soul all of this will come to pass, there is no doubt in my mind, none, zero, zip!!
So today my friends call it anything you want. Wrap it in whatever package makes you feel good, just know it's up to you to change, to believe, to put it out there...it's all yours, it's just waiting on you to be the change you want to see.

Florida is heading back to the 50s
So recently the governor of our state of Florida, Deathsantisis, decided that Florida wasn't fucked up enough. So let's really take it back to the 50's and so he did with these new laws he had passed.
And if the other laws weren't bad enough, no…now he is really pushing his back to the 50’s campaign. Some of the previous laws started taking us back there.
He has signed laws that restrict voting by mail and at drop boxes and deter eligible voters with criminal convictions from casting ballots.
He passed several bills restricting LGBTQ rights, including by expanding the “Don’t Say Gay” law, banning gender-affirming care, barring trans people from using public facilities of their choosing, and restricting drag performances.
He passed a bill letting residents carry a concealed loaded weapon without a permit.
And now according to Florida.gov, less than a year after signing a law that led to the removal of hundreds of books from public school shelves, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Tuesday that amends the state’s law to limit the number of books and classroom materials that can be challenged in school districts.
The bill, which goes into effect on July 1, states that Florida residents without children in a school district “may not object to more than one material per month” and instructs the state’s Board of Education to adopt changes to implement the decision.
Another new law bans colleges from using state or federal funding for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, a consistent target of DeSantis.
That law included students like my daughter who took black history as part of her major and now found out that that class no longer counted and that she would have to take and pay for another class. Seriously?? Bad enough you want to ban schools for telling what we did to Native Americans, Black's and Jewish people but now if you did learn about it, it doesn't count. Can you say class action lawsuit?
And as if that isn't bad enough, it gets worse. Can that even be possible? Yes, with this Police Oversight.
Separately, DeSantis signed a bill Friday that would ban local policy advisory commissions from initiating disciplinary actions against officers, instead limiting the citizens boards to making recommendations on policy.
So that means no one is policing the police in Florida.
As if Florida couldn't get any worse, welcome to the wild, wild west. Great people running around without gun permits and with the stand your ground law and now the police won't be policed.
Yes, I know the trolls will say “Well if you don't like Florida just leave” and believe me I would be gone if my daughters weren't finishing their school here. In the meantime I am stuck in this backwards state.
So today my friends, we need to take a stand, we need to vote, we need to speak out, we need more people who want justice for all to run for office. We need change because if no one speaks out, it's just a matter of time when they will come for you.
We need to stop Florida from going back to the 50's when books were banned, where gays were in the closets, women had no rights and Black people needed to sit on the back of the bus. We all need to be the change we want to see.

Your job will replace you before your body is in the ground
Many people give their lives to their jobs. They will put their jobs over their family, over friends, or even over a life. They will kill themselves working 50, 60 or more hours a week, and even on weekends. But does your job care about you?
If you think they do, you are sadly mistaken. They will have your job filled before your dead body is in the ground. Yes, you may be one of the very, very few lucky ones that have a job that will appreciate you, but most people aren't so lucky.
My girlfriend was like this. She worked overtime, and she planned all their parties, never being able to enjoy any of them. She came in early and left late. She got overlooked, and she watched while everyone else around her were getting bonuses and moving up, but her. And before you go and say that maybe she wasn't doing her job. She was there for 10 years, and no, she was never written up for anything in all those years. One day, she came in to find out that they kicked her to the curb. No 2 weeks notice, nothing.
They knew she's a single mom who, by the way, just lost her dad and is battling cancer. Yes, you heard that right. You can give your blood, sweat, and tears to a company, and they could care less. Even a big company like Rain Soft only cares about the bottom line.
We are believers and know that when God closes one door, he opens another, and she will be okay. She will find something better, but the pain of giving your all to a company and then being discarded will stay with her.
So today, my friends, I now realize why this generation doesn't stay at a job for any length of time. They know more than my generation does. They don't care about the bullshit Gold watch you get after giving your life to a job that doesn't give a shit about you. They know that your job will replace you before your body is in the ground.

The seven ways to change
Do you know in a race all runners run? But there can only be one winner.
This year, I am determined to do all I have set out to do. I made a commitment to never miss my God moment again. I will walk out on faith to challenges that I can not see how it could possibly happen, yet believing that it will happen.
If you can't imagine yourself winning, you won't. If you are not determined about finishing the race, you will give up. If you do not have the faith to believe, then it will not happen.
I was talking with someone this week, and I told them of a story of someone I knew who had stage 4 cancer. The doctors gave her 3 months to live, but she had faith and hope, and she told them she was determined she was going to live. They must have thought she was nuts, stage 4. Yeah, you don't live.
She believed in miracles, and she never gave up.
She willed herself better. Two months later when they ran more scans and with only one month left of the doctor's death sentence. They told her that she was cured. Yup, no cancer. It was all gone.
The doctors couldn't believe it, but she believed it. She believed in prayer, and she was determined and looked where it got her. My friend asked if I was Tinker Bell? Yes, I am. I believe.
She said she didn't believe in miracles, I told her, and then she would never receive one. You have to believe to receive.
Don't sit around day after day saying, "Poor me, you don't know what I've been through.I am not lucky. There is no way it can change. "
Because with thoughts like that, it won't. You're telling yourself you will never get better, become successful, or change your circumstances. And guess what? You will have no shot at change. It all starts with you and your attitude.
Surround yourself with people who influence your life in a positive way. Here are 7 ways to start to change
1. Write a set of goals down:
Write a list, make a vision board, look at it, and then envision it.
2. Take action:
Do something to get it started, research it, talk to others, and do something.
3. Be flexible to make changes to your goals:
It's okay if it doesn't happen exactly like you see it. Change course because it can be way better than you thought.
4 Over look the distractions:
Focus on the prize, and stop looking at others. Stop getting sidetracked.
5. Never quit:
No matter what, no matter how many times you get knocked down, keep going.
6. Use life experience to your benefit:
Always ask what can I learn from this? There are many things life has taught us if we listen.
7. Don't do it by yourself:
Know that there are others around you supporting your dream. If not, find new friends, and hang out with others with a dream.
Here are 3 things that will bring you down
1. Negative thoughts
I can never do this.
2. People's attitude
You will never do that.
3. Flashbacks of your past.
You know where you came from. You're a loser. You can't do it, see you tried before. Forget all of that. Know you can do anything you set your mind to.
So today, my friends, you have to be determined to be determined.
Do not leave your destiny in the hands of people.
Do not trust people with your happiness.
It's all up to you to make that change.
Change your thoughts, change your life.

Always growing and learning
So every day in the morning I speak to my girlfriend. We always talk about lessons we learned and how, even at this age, we are learning and growing.
I see so many people I know that have never looked into their past to see what they need to fix.
Look, I get it. It's tough to take a deep, hard look into why you do what you do. Trust me we are all fucked up in some way. Some may have had lousy parents, or maybe it's abusive you suffered. Maybe it's a neglected childhood or alcoholic parents. Whatever it is, we have all suffered from some of it. No one came out of their childhood scott free.
Most people just shove it deep down, and they refuse to deal with it, but you can't bury your trauma. It's like oil, and it always eventually rises to the surface. Not dealing with it will make you drink or do drugs. It can make you overeat or be a people pleaser or an over spender or a gambler or even never having a good relationship. But trust and believe, it will surface as something else unless you address it.
So why are so many people so afraid to take that first step? We are all screwed up, every single one of us! So why is it so hard to admit that? I can't tell you how many times I've been to therapy. Even my girlfriend, who has been to as much therapy as me and who I thought was good now. Recently, she said she is going back to fix an issue she hasn't resolved in her life.
Even at this age and with all we've worked on, there is still more to learn or change.
So today, my friends, I am here to tell you it's never too late. You're never too old to work on yourself. To change things and to learn lessons. It's never too late to admit that you're screwed up and that you need help.
Like I say at the end of every blog, only you can be the change you want to see.

Happiness is a choice, not a result
Everyone wants happiness, but not many people know that happiness is a choice, not a result.
What does that mean exactly? It means happiness is not a result of money. It's not a result of things. It doesn't happen because of anything. It happens because you chose to be happy.
You choose to be happy in spite of what is going on. In spite of not having money or things. In spite of not having everything you wished for. You're happy because you choose to be happy.
I know this seems like a hard concept to learn, but it's really not.
Your happiness comes from you, from your mindset. I choose to be happy just as I choose to be grateful even when the storms are coming at me. I don't need a man to give me happiness or the job of my dreams. I am not waiting on these things to make me happy. I choose to be happy in spite of not having all that I want.
I know many people wish they were rich, they think that money will fix all their problems and make them happy. But I know many people with money who are not happy at all. Hell, I was one of those people who grew up poor and dreamed of having that kind of lifestyle. When I was living it I soon realized that money doesn't make you happy. In fact, I was miserable, I had everything I thought I wanted all my life, and I was unhappy. Even though I am out here struggling after the divorce. I am happy with myself, I am happy in spite of what I don't have anymore. I am happy even though I have to hustle every day to pay the bills. I am happy even though I no longer have that lifestyle. I no longer come home every night to cry in my bathtub. I am happy without because I am choosing to be happy, and I can't remember being as happy as I am now.
So today, my friends, I am here to let you know that happiness is a choice, not a result. Your happiness will not come to you. It has to come from you.

When others speak down to you
These last few months, I have been speaking about healing yourself. I have talked about triggers and past wounds that even years later may come up in your life. Today, I want to talk about something I learned in therapy this time around. This was a lesson I thought I knew, but obviously I didn't.
Why do people talk down to you? Many people who come from abusive relationships get triggered when this happens. They automatically assume it's them. They can't do anything right, or they are stupid. All these things we thought we dealt with come back, and that voice replays in our heads.
But I've learned this is NOT your issue, this is their issue. Maybe this is a cycle for them. Maybe their parents spoke to them like this. Maybe they are narcissists, and they think they are better than everyone else. Whatever the reason, it's not your issue. This is not about you.
Look at history. It definitely will repeat itself. If you don't get help or admit that you have a problem. Trust me, you better believe that they have done this to everyone in their lives. In their relationships with others, with family, co-workers, and even their own children. This has been going on for years. This is not about you, clearly.
They may correct how you speak. They may act like you are stupid or say demeaning things, but it's because they need to feel powerful. They need to feel smarter than you or better than you, so they make you feel small in order to make themselves feel large.
If you start to look at it this way, you are on the path to healing yourself. You will realize this is who they are, and they will not change. Their insecurities need not affect you. They are not just treating you this way. They treat everyone this way. Just give them time and trust and believe it will come out.
Now you have two choices, either you can walk away or you can learn the coping skills to deal with how this affects you. I learned the coping skills, how not to get into my own head, to not take it personally, that this is about them not me but then I decided that being in this situation each and every day was not good for me. I am glad I went back to therapy to learn these skills because I know there will be others that will come into my life that are this way, and now I will know how to deal with them. But to put myself in the middle of this every day. No, I choose not to. Sorry, get your kicks on someone else.
So today my friends come and learn with me. Yes, you can shut them out of your life, but your issues will still be there. We need to learn and to really know that this is about them, not us.
Realize your value, know that under their facade, they are lying to and about themselves to feel better.
You are not the jackass whisperer. They are not your monkeys, and this is definitely not your circus.
Learn to heal your wounds so no one can ever again make you feel this way. This is the answer because they walk among us, and they will never be the change.

Okay, now get over it!
Yes, I realize that might be a little harsh, but there are so many people out there who need to hear it.
Get over it and get on with your life already!
Yes, we all have things that have happened to us in our lives. Some of us are worse off than others, but that doesn't mean we are stopped in that spot and we stay there. This week, I wrote about blaming everyone else. Now I have to be real and say get over it.
Yes, I get it. Your man cheated. He lied to you and broke your heart. Does that mean for the next ten, twenty or in my grandmother's or ex-Mother in laws case, 50 years later, are we still going to have to hear about it every day like it happened yesterday?
Yes, your mother was an alcoholic, your father beat you, you were abandoned as a child and grew up in the system, is that who you are?
No, these are circumstances that happened to you. This is not who you are. These are the things that make you stronger, that change who you are for the better if you chose to make it that way.
Yes, you chose to become a better parent because your parents were so lousy. You chose not to drink because you remember what it was like to pick up your drunk parents off the floor and clean them up night after night.
You chose not to cheat and lie because you saw how it broke your grandmother's heart 40 years later, but you chose something, and then you get on with your life.
You don't spend the next how many years whining about it, giving life to it every day, or staying stuck in that spot, unable to move forward. No! You get up, you hopefully learn a lesson, because everything that happens to us teaches us a lesson if we are willing to look for it. Then you take your lesson and you move on. That's it, move on, end of story.
We all have problems, but I feel sorry for you if you have not learned any lessons from these problems. Look, if we were to sit around a table and each one of us took our problems and put them on the table, I guarantee you, you would be quick to grab yours back!
So today, my friends, I am here to say let it go. It's over. It's called the past for a reason, and leave it there. You need to forgive and then get on with your life. Let me ask you how long has this been holding you back? How long have you been talking about this? Life is way too short to be stuck. Start your life over from this minute. It's never too late to get over it.

I am grateful to tears
I am always trying to give you a message and my messages on Mondays. I always talk about what I learned the day before in church. I got where I am today only because of God, but look, if you found your way through a different path, that is great. Good for you.
I am not here to tell you that there is only one way or you can only get there, by my way. Anyway, you arrive at your peace, and joy is wonderful. This is just the way I got here, and so I talk about it, as I know what has worked for me.
I also know about having gratitude. I have so much gratitude that it brings me to tears.There is never a day that I don't wake up or before I go to sleep that I don't thank God. I thank him for waking me up for my girls, our health, my home, and my business. I am grateful for my purpose he gave me, my friends, my family, and my life and day.
I will be driving home from the gym, looking at the sunrise and crying because I am lucky enough to be here to see it. I walk into my home, and it takes my breath away as I never dreamed of owning my own home. I do my own thing on my time. I have no one to answer to, to put me down, or to approve or disapprove of my actions. It's all me, and the only one I try to please is God.
I will be going along in my day and a client will call to book an appointment and when I hang up, every single time I say "Thank you, God" Because I am so grateful for another client.
When people write to me or see me and tell me how much they enjoy my blogs, I say a prayer of thanks for this gift he has given me.
There are some days that, for no reason, I start to cry because I remember that deep, dark place I used to reside in, and I am grateful I am no longer there. I am grateful I no longer hold onto hate, fear, pain, stress, and anger. I know that this is what I had to go through to get here, and so it was all worth it.
So today, my friends, remember if my way, if my God does not work for you, it's okay. It's a free country, find another way but just remember to be grateful, because it always could have been another way.

Okay, now get over it!
Yes, I realize that might be a little harsh, but there are so many people out there who need to hear it.
Get over it and get on with your life already!

Truth be told
There's a song called Truth Be Told that I love, and it goes like this:
Lie number one, you're supposed to have it all together
And when they ask how you're doing
Just smile and tell them, "Never better."
Lie number 2, everybody's life is perfect except yours
So keep your messes and your wounds.
And your secrets safe with you, behind closed doors.
Truth be told.
The truth is rarely told. Now
I say I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine oh I'm fine, hey I'm fine but I'm not.
I'm broken.
And when it's out of control, I say it's under control, but it's not.
And you know it.
I don't know why it's so hard to admit it.
When being honest is the only way to fix it.
There's no failure, no fall
There's no sin you don't already know.
So let the truth be told.
We don't let the truth be told in this society. We lie about how "perfect" our lives are on social media every day. We never say how we are actually feeling. We are all broken, we have all messed up, and we are definitely not okay. Yet we lie. We are ashamed of failure and of looking bad. Looking at everyone elses "perfect" life online makes so many people feel bad.
I tell all my truths in my blog. I exposed all my dark and dirty secrets in both of my books that I wrote about my life. Why do I do this? Because through my darkest times, I felt so alone, like no one else was going through this or could understand what I was going through. I felt like we needed more people to tell the truth. If more people did this, others wouldn't be so ashamed or feel so alone like I was. We all have been through this. We all try to hide what we are feeling by saying that we are fine when we are clearly not.
So today, my friends, I am here to say let the truth be told. It's okay not to be perfect. It's okay to reach out and say I need help. It's okay to feel broken or lost, but it's not okay to keep hiding it, to pretend everything is okay when it clearly is not. Let the truth be told.

Blaming everyone else
We all know someone out there who blames everyone else for their life. It might even be you.
You are steadily complaining that everything is wrong because of what happened in your life. I was poor, my parents were abusive, my dad's a drunk, I was in a horrible marriage, blah, blah blah...insert your sob story here.
Yes, that sounds harsh, and it is, but it is also the truth. We all have a sob story, but that doesn't make us. That doesn't define us. It is what got us to where we are today, that's all.
Steve Harvey always says:
"You can't drive your car looking in the rear view mirror, your rear view mirror is for telling you, you have past something, that's why it's smaller, the front windshield is large so you can see what's ahead of you"
That is how I live my life. I don't let my past define me.
I am not a rape victim or a victim of verbal abuse. No, I am a survivor. I don't say I can't do this or that because I was in a horrible place, and I can't or won't get over it.
I wrote a book, The Blessing in Disguise, and called it that because even with all that happened to me, I consider it a blessing. I might not have felt it then while I was going through it, but I now know it definitely was. It made me who I am today, the strong, confident woman who is not afraid and is so very grateful for everything I have now.
Look, life breaks down like this, 10 percent is about what happens to you, and 90 percent is what you do about it. So yes, shit will happen to you, it will happen to every one of us but how are you going to handle it?
So today my friends do something! Stop complaining, get up, and change.
Get excited about your life, and stop complaining. Find your purpose, do what you love to do, step out of faith, let go of your fear, stop blaming everyone else and step up...it's your life, so live it!

Yes, we can
We need to know this. We need to practice saying this. Yes, you can. See, God gave us his only son so that we could know that we could overcome anything. There is an inner strength in you. It's in all of us. Trust and believe it's there. You might have to hit rock bottom to find it, but we all have it in us.
When you tap into your inner strength, there is nothing that can stop you.
You are here for a reason, for a purpose. We all have a purpose, a God-given gift that you can do the best with the least effort. It can be cooking, talking, writing, singing, or whatever it may be, but it's your gift.
Don't think it because you screwed up so many times that you failed. Or that you hurt too many people and you can't change, you can always change.
You can change from bad to good, even with a horrible past. You can change your life, and you can overcome any obstacle. Hell, look at me, I bet many people wouldn't have thought I'd be where I am now. We should never settle for where we are in life and think that is all life has in store for you.
This is a season of miracles, Easter was a day of miracles. Passover was a season of miracles. If Jesus rose from the dead, if the plague passed over those who believed, then anything is possible, if you believe. We need to live every day believing that you will seize your God moment and you will.
So today, my friends, remember that even if you do good and things don't work out, even if your friends stab you in the back and pretend they don't know you. Even if you're left alone to die, never give up. Just know that you will get another chance to be reborn, to start over. You can do it... Yes, you can! Don't forget what I say at the end of every blog…only you can be the change you want to see.

Putting someone's happiness over your own.
Putting someone's happiness over your own is when you love someone so much that you just want to see them happy. Even if that means it is not with you.
Now, many people can't imagine this concept because it's a hard one to do. Parents get this. They know what it is to put their children first. They know what it's like to put their child's needs over their own. But in a romantic way, well, that's a different story. That is way harder.
Recently, my ex-boyfriend called me and told me he thought he may have found someone else. He said he wanted to tell me because he wanted me to hear it from him first, and he wanted to make sure I was okay with it. Now we have been broken up for almost 2 years but we are still great friends. We both knew we would never get back together as he wanted children, and I do not. But we still love one another and want each other to be happy.
I was happy for him, I've always wanted him to find his forever person. Someone he could have a family with. We always talked about this even while we were together, as we knew that this relationship was not going to last forever.
We had always discussed our wishes for each of us in finding our forever person and how happy we would be when that day came.
I know this is not normal in relationship talk, but when you walk into a relationship with your eyes open and a pure heart, this can happen.
Some people are put into your life for a reason, for a lesson, and we both knew that that is what this relationship was. We enjoyed our time together, we learned what we needed to learn, and we parted as great friends with love and respect for each other.
I know many people can't understand this or get over the fact that you can remain friends with your ex’s but that comes from a place of fear or jealousy. Just because you can't make it as a couple doesn't mean you didn't like that person as a person or love them because of who they are.
So today, my friends, I am here to say it's only when you love someone so much that you would be happy for their happiness, even if it doesn't include you. This is pure love, a love that goes beyond what most people can comprehend. This is the definition of putting someone's happiness over your own, and we should all try it.

Why do we need a day to be grateful?
So, this last weekend was a holy weekend for many people. This was a time people stopped and thanked God for all he's done. But if you know me or follow me you know I am not big on days to make you do things. Why do they have to be a day to tell your mother you love her? I sent my mother flowers every Friday until she died. I always wanted her to know I loved her. Valentine's Day is another. Seriously, if you are not showing your partner every day that you love them, you are definitely doing something wrong.
So we seem to also need a day to be grateful, really? If you're not grateful for all you have, whether it's a lot or a little, trust and believe, there are many others who will trade situations with you in a heartbeat. We need to be grateful each and every day. We need to tell our loved ones how we feel every day. I say I love you to my friends and family before I hang up with them on the phone or before I walk out the door. I never want them to wonder about how I feel.
I don't need a specific day to tell me to eat dinner with my family. Yes, there is actually a, have dinner with your family day now! Seriously??
So you can let all year go by, but as long as you do it on this one day a year, that's all you need to do? No, that's not the way it works, at least not for me anyway.
I don't need a day to tell me to do the right thing. I remember my mom saying, "Don't bring flowers to my grave when I die. I can't smell them there. You brought me flowers throughout my life, flowers that I could smell and appreciate. That is what counts."
So today, my friends, do we really need a day to tell us to do the right thing? Let's do it every day, make someone feel special all the time. Be grateful every second, not just one day. Live every day like it's your last. If we all lived like that, then we wouldn't need a day to be grateful.
