PostSecret Time

Seriously I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this one and questioned whether I had done this and sent it in.  It completely looks like something I did.  It is a picture from the Top of the Rock in New York City with a Swan that says ‘Never Give up’.  Honestly, one of my favorite places in the world with one of my favorite quotes.  Never, never, never give up.  Wow, can’t believe this was one of them.  Enjoy!

Commercial Fun

I love this commercial with Peyton Manning and Justin Timberlake… The last few seconds with Justin make my life complete! I laughed for a good minute after it.

Eat, Pray, Love

I’m currently reading ‘Eat, Pray,Love’. This quote is written in there… Very powerful.

“I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. If you need the medication again, go ahead and take it-I will love you through that, as well. If you don’t need to take the medication, I will love you, too. There’s nothing you can do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and there is nothing that will ever exhaust me.”

Feel Good Day

I’m having an absolutely ‘Feel Good Day’.  I feel like the picture below.  Had my 2nd interview with Hormel, and I’m even more excited about the opportunity to work with them.  They are a wonderful company. Just waiting on hearing about the final interview!

Jump for joy. Live a little.  Let loose.  Feel free and alive.  Today is a good, good day.

You Will be Okay.

2802906539_d34b46643b

This goes out to someone very special to me who is having a very hard week. You made the right decision. At some point in life, you need to step back and think about yourself. All the pressure you are feeling, the loneliness, and the heartache; step back, breathe, and realize that this will be the hardest decision you will ever make in your life, but it makes or breaks your future.

All of the emotions you are feeling right now are hard; I know. But sometimes you need to walk away. Being alone doesn’t mean you have to be lonely. Life is far greater than what you have settled for. I’ve been in the situation where I felt like I didn’t want to live, I didn’t want to wake up in the morning, all because I didn’t want to be alone. I made a choice one day that I couldn’t let the past control me anymore, but I in fact needed the future to guide me. I realized that I couldn’t be in this rut anymore, I couldn’t let my future linger and dangle from my finger tips. I needed to grasp life, take control, and realize that the world is in my hands.

You’ve always settled, and never realized your full potential. I know you will be happy one day, because you’ve pretended for so many years. You deserve better. You need to find happiness in yourself before you will ever be happy with someone else. So please, I ask of you. Step back, breathe, and look at your life. Look at where you are, and where you need to be in order to be happy.

Life will have the roadblocks, the uphill battles, and the inevitable-heartbreaking moments; but we have these so we can fully enjoy the beauty of the good moments. I want you to keep your head up, and realize that you will come out of this, better than you ever were. Good things come to those who believe, and don’t let this beat you down. Get back up and fight. Just realize and remember that – Time heals the heart. Allow this time to figure out what makes you happy. Realize that time is your friend, not your enemy. It will get worse before it gets better, but the heart needs time to heal. You need to realize where you were in order to find where you want to be. Allow yourself to forgive the past, and allow the future.

Life is full of lessons; they lead a path for you to become stronger; you will become a better person because of the whole situation. You are an amazing person, full of life, hope, promise… and good things WILL come to you… just don’t allow yourself to shut them out now because your heart is hurting.

Just know that I am always here for you.. On any day… at any hour… at anytime. Please keep smiling. It will be okay, and you will be okay. Give your heart time to heal, don’t hang on to feelings, let go of them. Release yourself. You are too good of a person… to let this bring you down. And please remember… you are not alone. Not now, not ever.

Weekly PostSecret

Here it is my friends. This week’s PostSecret pick of the week. I think this is the best part about life.  No matter how you feel in life, you are always part of something bigger than yourself.  You can be anyone you want to be.  You can write your own story, and create your own destiny.  Life is more than the goals you set for youself… it’s the journey to get there; the obstacles you overcome; the little choices you make every day.  Life is about the journey… the journey to the final destination, which will in turn always be bigger than we will have ever imagined.  Enjoy the ride, it’s too short to not.

New York City Style

Check out this picture we created for my Advanced business communication class. Basically we have to put on a 2-day seminar on business dining an we have to represent a city. We chose NYC, and for our team picture we chose to Photoshop ourselves into a NYC subway and some others. Turned out pretty sharp if I do say so myself. Love them!

PostSecret of the week…

Here is my pick this week for today’s new PostSecrets.  I’ve always believed that people people’s imperfections make them beautiful. Universal perfection does not exist; everyone has their own version of perfect.  So I see imperfections as perfection.  We are all human, we are all unique.  We are all special.

Man vs. Food

So I’ve been watching the show ‘Man vs. Food’ on the Travel channel all morning… I can’t pull away from it. This show is insane. Not only do you get to watch him travel all over the world and learn, but you get to see the different cultural foods in each area. I love seeing these unique places that he goes to that I’d live to go see someday.

Anyhow, he takes on challenges at unique places kind of like the Buffalo Wild Wings- win challenge. Today I saw him do a 7 pound burrito, 12 egg omelot, and 15 dozen oyster challenge, yes that is 180 oysters.

If you haven’t seen this show, you need to!
