Ten years ago a co-worker gave me this list and I have kept a copy of it on my desk ever since. It is still relevant today and I hope you find it helpful on this “Feel Good Friday”
Pray
Go to bed on time
Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed
Say, “no” to projects that won’t fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health
Delegate tasks to capable others
Simplify and unclutter your life
Less is more (although one is often not enough, two are often too many
Allow extra time to do things and to get to places
Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don’t lump the hard things all together
Take one day at a time
Separate worries from concern. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can’t do anything about a situation, forget it.
Live within your budget; don’t use credit cards for ordinary purchases
Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut) This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble
Do something for the KID IN YOU everyday
Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line (there’s an app for that now)
Get enough rest
Eat right
Get organized so everything has its place
Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life
Write down thoughts and inspirations
Every day, find time to be alone
Having problems? Talk to God on the spot…Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don’t wait until it’s time to go to bed to try and pray
Make friends with Godly people
Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand
Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good “Thank you Jesus!”
Laugh
Laugh some more
Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all
Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can)
Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most)
Sit on your ego
Talk less; listen more
Slow down
Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe
Every night before bed, think of one thing you’re grateful for that you’ve never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.“If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)

Communicating over the internet or by phone can be pretty impersonal at times. Especially when you only communicate via text or email. Thanks goodness there are ways to use these same devices to have more personal communication. The answer is video!
Using your phone, tablet, or computer to communicate over video can put that personal touch back in an increasingly impersonal world. Whether you want to communicate with family, friends, co workers, your boss, or even clients, and in person is not an option, consider these suggestions for staying in touch via video.
Staying in Touch with Family
Nearly everyone has a gmail account these days. You can use your gmail account to access Google Hangouts to start a group video call for free. You can even have up to 10 users join the conversation. All you need is a device that has video capabilities (ie. smartphone, tablet, laptop, computer, etc.). With so many devices available, you can have the whole family join the video chat from nearly anywhere on earth!
Here are some great ways to use Hangouts* to stay in touch with your family:
Happy family laughing and looking at laptop
Have big news you want to share with everyone at once? If you have family members spread all over the map, it can be a challenge to decide who to call first with your big news. Get everyone to join by video and see everyone’s reactions at once. The best part about sharing news over a video chat is that you can plan out a really fun way to share the news!
Bummed that you are missing a family get together? You can use Hangouts to literally hang out with your family. If your family members are too far away to get together, plan to hold the event online! Baby shower? Bridal shower? Birthday party? Mother’s Day? Father’s Day? All of these important family events can be held via video. Just have everyone ship their gifts to the recipient and they can open them over video.
Planning a family party or reunion? Get all of the family members involved in the planning to join a video meeting. You can discuss all of the details face to face as a group.
Just miss being together? You don’t need big news or a special occasion to get your family together. Plan a date and time to get everyone in on a video chat and spend some time catching up with the whole family. Consider planning a family video chat for once a month to stay in touch.
Of course you can also use video chat to keep in touch with your family members one or two at a time. The suggestions above mention ways to stay in touch with the whole family, but video chat is a great way to stay in touch with family members in general.
*You can use Skype instead of Google Hangouts. Every family member needs an active Skype account to participate, but Skype allows 25 users to join at once. So if you have a really large family consider using Skype instead!
Staying in Touch with Friends

Video chat also provides some great ways to stay in touch with friends. Check out the suggestions below:
You want to make plans. If you are trying to make plans for more than two people, you can make your planning much more efficient by discussing everything together as a group over video chat.
You have to stay in touch. You tell your best friend everything. Keep it personal and have conversations regularly over video. One huge bonus to video conversations is that you have a much better idea who is listening on the other end. Before you start sharing secrets or venting over IM, consider that other eyes may be in on the conversation.
You want to get the whole crew together. As life progresses it gets hard to get a whole group of friends together, especially when people move, get married, have children, etc. Video makes it much easier to get everyone together again.
You just moved. If you moved recently, you may be missing your friends. Use video to take them on a tour of your new place, neighborhood, workplace, or even your new city.
Staying in Touch with Work

Depending on your job, you may be able to use video to stay in touch with work. Here are some examples:
You are ill.
You need to stay home with a sick child.
You are out of the office.
You want to work from home.
Severe weather makes it difficult to get to work.
You want to meet with a customer or client, without traveling out of state.
Video may make it possible for you to participate in important meetings or discuss things with your team when any of the situations above affect you. The biggest challenge will most likely come in convincing your boss that video really can make it possible for you to do your job away from the office. You should show your boss this post to help plead your case.
If you do get permission to use video for work, remember these helpful tips:
Dress as if you are going to work.
Make sure the area around you is clean and distraction free.
Do a test run to make sure the technology is working properly.
Treat the video exchange as if you are in a real meeting.
Whether you need to stay in touch with family members, friends, co workers, your boss, or even your customers, internet based video solutions are the next best thing to meeting in person.
Do you use video to stay in touch with family and friends?

Hello friends and Happy Feel Good 1st Friday in June
Wow, where did the time go? Well just like May this is going to be short. These are just 2 outfits that I wore the weeks before Memorial Day and I simply entitled it
Red White & Aqua Blue
The jeans and dress are both from Walmart #WearWalmart
The flats are Payless and purses are Avon. I always wear this zebra tank with the zebra flats because I like the matchy matchy style…I did it with the bracelets too.
I love the casual A-line cut of this dress and there are a few other styles, so I’ll definitely be on the lookout for when they hit the clearance rack! To jazz it up a bit, I added a gold tone chain belt which was thrifted from Goodwill and a chain necklace from Avon.
These flats are the perfect color for this dress and the sunnies were purchased at Goodwill.
I hope you a
ll have a wonderful weekend and Happy Fri-Yay!
…not from the back pain that keeps him from grooming his feet
I fear for my husband’s health…
…not from the x-rays and stitches caused by students that he was there to educate
I fear for my husband’s health…
…not from the cancerous cells that have invaded his body and has made his lose so much weight
I fear for my husband’s health…
…because yesterday as I sat nervously in the car as he parked to pray…laying his Prayer Rug beside the car
Praying to Allah for the 3rd time of the day…praying for guidance, love, safety and good health not only for himself, but for his family, friends and all mankind.
I fear for my husband’s health…
…as I watched an elderly woman peer across the lot, grab her purse a little tighter and begin to walk a little quicker
I fear for my husband’s health because we live in a country that many have died to protect their religious freedoms, yet find it easy to bear arms and spew hatred against another’s religious beliefs.
I fear for my husband’s health and my son’s future….
I can’t believe that in only 3 more days, the men and I will be on flying off to paradise in the Dominican Republic. We all deserve this break and I am looking forward to spending time with hubby and my sons…which almost didn’t happen due to their expired Passports…but that’s a different story for a different day.
My blogs posts are all scheduled for next week including over at www.bloggingwithblake.com, so I don’t have to worry about posting while away. I will however, be taking lots of pictures so if you are not following now on Instagram and YouTube, make sure to do so today!
Cool in cotton is the title of this post and it’s a simple white polo shirt from Walmart #WearWalmart and a floral skirt thrifted from Goodwill. Staying cool in summer’s heat and humidity is vital as is drinking plenty of water.
Along with the pair of Ann Taylor sandals this outfit was perfect to keep me cool outdoors as well comfy inside the office.
I plan on wearing cool and comfy sundresses while on vacation and will be posting a daily OOTD hopefully at sunrise, as hubby and I plan on getting up and walking the beach each morning before then.
Disclosure: This product was provided to me in exchange for an honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.
Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world. If you have been following me for some time then you know how I feel about keeping my skin moisturized and well protected. Every night before bed I always slather my feet with a cream or body butter then put on a pair of cotton socks which I eventually kick off within an hour.
I use eye serums and face moisturizers after thoroughly removing all traces of makeup before going to bed then I attack any ash on my hands, knees and elbows by applying a good moisturizer as needed.
Recently, I had a opportunity to try 24KaritGoldShea Butter and I can honestly say that this is a great body moisturizer. I have been using it on my feet, hands, and even on that burn scar on my leg which I told you about a few weeks ago. Hubby loves using it daily on his knees, elbows and feet and the mini men have used it on their hair, scalp and face.
24KariteGoldShea Butter is a premium Shea Butter which has been hand processed by a women’s cooperative in West Africa, “Heal your skin and heal the world…one jar at a time.” I have used it as a massage oil as well, which feels great when slightly warmed using a double boiler method. B24KariteGold SheaButter contains unrefined, hand harvested wild crafted Shea butter. You can use this product safely on your body, face, lips, hair, scalp, nails and feet.
I will be taking some of it on vacation because it also has sun shielding properties. Shea Butter has a history of being successful when used to alleviated and improve external skin conditions such as itching, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, soreness, wounds burns, scarring, acne and stretch marks.
Check out this video review then leave me a comment as to how you have used Shea Butter as part of your beauty regiment.
Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world. You guys know that we haven’t been on vacation since 2009, way before they instituted the $25.00 per checked bag fee.
Long gone are the days when the boys were young and we headed to Orlando with large suitcases full of clothes, toys and toiletries. Now we have the arduous task of trying to get everyone to fit everything into their one bag and making sure that it weighs less than 25 lbs.
Although we are flying Delta airlines and are allowed 1 free checked bag I don’t want to over do it. It will definitely be easy for my sons and hubby, but I am not so sure about me.
Disclosure: Amazon Affiliate links below, so if you make a purchase I might make a few cents!
We will be staying at the Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Resort in Puerto Plata for 8 long days, and 7 nights and it’s all-inclusive. Have you ever visited this resort?
I know that I won’t need to pack much, and this is what I was planning on taking so let me know what you think.
Swimsuits
Cover Up
Shorts
tank tops
Floppy Hat
Sleep shirt/undergarments
Sandals
Sundresses
Of course in my toiletry bag I’ll have a high SPF sunscreen, deodorant, makeup, and hair care products.
What do you think, should this be enough or is it too much? I will be carrying a large tote bag to hold my camera, phone, make-up, and wallet, but I think I am missing something…maybe I need to go shopping – wanna come?
Oh, what do you think about this? Is it best to lay everything flat or roll the clothes, which way takes up more space in the suitcase?
Do you have any other packing suggestions – am I anxious or what!!!
s it best to lay everything flat or roll the clothes, which way takes up more space in the suitcase?
