Hey Soul Sister...

Hey Henry…

On the eve of my sister’s birthday I think it only appropriate to give her a shout out.  If anyone ever was truly a Queen of Hearts-it’s my sister Michele.  Really. Honestly. Without a doubt.  I could go into my Matron of Honor speech all over again but I will spare those of you that have already heard it.   You may ask…Who is Henry? Remember that song “There’s a hole in the bucket, Dear Lila, Dear Lila…there’s a hole in the bucket Dear Lila a hole…well fix it Dear Henry…” ---well whether you think I am completely off of my rocker or if you actually know the tune---this is something that we used to sing together and just laugh about together—one of those random sisterly memories we both have...that at the time you don’t realize that they are going to stick with you for a lifetime.  This is one of those memories for me—among others that if I put them into writing my sister would have my head so I will just keep them there for safe keeping. 

I have so many of those memories—and appreciate more than I could even put into words having Michele to journey through life with.  And it has been quite the journey indeed.  She is my best friend.  It is hard to believe that last year at this time she just got engaged a couple days before her birthday-and now she is already married…what an amazing year we all shared with her.  I couldn’t be happier for her—just married and planning the next phase of her new life...I can't wait.  I am looking forward to this year ahead (especially this summer’s trip with Jason, Henry and “BIL”) we are going to have so many experiences that will linger the rest of our lives. 

That is what life is about-living in the moment and creating the memories that will sustain you during the good times and the not-so good times.  We should all think about that and take a step back from our own lives sometime, and look at ourselves from the outside—look in and see the memory you are creating…Remember that.

I love you Henry.

Happy Birthday,
Love,
Lila

What's in a title?

Yes, so I already changed the title of my blog, don’t judge me maybe I am just trying to keep you on your toes…-I am indecisive —“Hey Saturn Get off My Virgo” well  I am just going to have to save that splendid title for my book…meaning of the title—still not telling…

The Queen of Hearts…

I like this new title because it means more to me at this point in my life. So many others I know and advise on how to achieve the Queen of Hearts status.  We are all on a journey whether we know it or not to something…to something better—the Queen of Hearts is that title we earn when we can ACCEPT where we are and just BE…BE Happy…Be content…and more importantly BE OURSELVES, our true selves —so many of us don’t know how to do that.  Who is really truly happy at this point in time? Ask yourself—are you content?—Or are you still on your journey? 9 out of 10 of us are still on our journey—it’s enjoying the journey that is the trick. 

If you ask me…I don’t want to be the Queen of Hearts…not right now anyway.  I know that goes against what I usually will advise but it’s the truth…I am perfectly content being the Queen of Diamonds—I am in transition—positive and trudging through while taking it all in and learning from all of life’s little lessons.  And it’s these little lessons for myself that I am learning from so many other people -- all kinds of queens (and kings—how could I forget the kings) of hearts, diamonds, clubs and those terrible spades…that are counting on me—oh the pressure…I am up for the challenge…

More to come…

I am really doing this....

Hello there...whoever is reading this--or maybe it'll just be me...who knows?

All I know is that it is time I join the blogging world, not sure if I know what I am doing but what matters is that I know WHY I am doing it.  I feel like I have more to contribute on bigger sense.  Everyday I connect with someone and help them realize things about themselves that they may have needed confirmed or needed to hear and start believing. 

I feel like I know so many of you but really will probably never meet you.  I wanted a vehicle to express that I meet so many interesting people through www.intuitiveadvisement.com, and yes I help them/advise them.  What you all may not realize is how much you help me indirectly and directly--how much I learn about myself from advising you.

It's hard to take your own advice--so this blog is going to start to take shape--I hope you will come along for the journey.  And what's with the title??? Stay tuned...
xo,
Gina
