Men are NOT Mind Readers

Valentines Day is days away, and I can already imagine all of the disappointment.
The gift, you wanted but didn't get, the night in that you hoped would be spent out.
How does this all go wrong?
Are the special people in our lives stupid?
Of course not, they're just NOT mind readers.
I'm totally GUILTY of this!

I think my husband should be able to read my mind. 

He asks, "what do you want to do for Valentines Day?" I answer, "I dunno, I don't care."
Then conversation ends and I start thinking of all the surprises coming my way.
I'm setting this poor guy up!
I don't wan to tell him what i want, I want him to READ MY MIND!!
The romantic evening, the quality time and special gifts.  When he doesn't deliver, I'm not just disappointed. 

I get PISSED!!!

I walk around snippy, and annoyed and hold grudges. 

I get all worked up just because he didn't figure out what I want through mental telepathy. 

Epiphany of the DAY!! 

My husband is no Mind Reader!!!

But he is a great listener. 

I remember this great book he and I read together along time ago.

We read The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman, and we each decided which things we needed to feel loved.
No surprise my husband likes them all!
 But I'm a bit of a pickle.

The Clifnotes of it is that everyone speaks a different "love language." Their "love language," is the way that they feel and receive love. There are 5 Love Languages.

Words of Affirmation

Acts of Service

Receiving Gifts

Quality Time

Physical Touch

If he spends time with you but your mad he didn't bring you flowers, your Love Language may be Receiving Gifts.

I won't share my love language, but I can say it has changed over time. 

So it's important to check back in and ask what makes someone feel loved.

There is no right or wrong language and definitely no judgement. 

It simply is how you take in the love being giving to you.

Men and Women have different requirements and understanding them can help bring them closer to you. 

I found this handy chart to help you relate. 

I have used these 5 Love Languages with my children. 

I think they are really great way to help you express your love and appreciation for the ones you love.

If you know someone loves you but you just don't feel it, try communicating which love language you speak.

It really will help because no one can read minds.

Happy Valentines

Day!

Open & Honest My Goddess Philosophy

"Mommy Gratitude" has become such an inspirational force for me. 

Writing on this subject has given me new clarity in my life. 

So after a lot of thought I've come to a revelation. 

I should say I will not stop talking about my mommy gratitude. I just have even more to talk about.

I've wanted to talk more about my life from the unique perspective of being a strong, confident, evolving woman. 

I've wanted to find a way to share with you more about ME. 

The woman that I am, and the woman I so desperately want to be. 

I'm a wife, and a mother, and that is the most I have time for most days.

But there's another part of me still alive and well. 

A part of me that I don't always have time to nurture and groom, but I want to set her on fire.

I call that part of me the   Goddess.

I was born a Goddess before everything else. 

Being a Goddess means you recognize your potential to be God like. 

This is my personal philosophy:

I believe that women more then men (sorry guys) have the greatest potential to experience life through the full human experience. 
Women align their lives, and the lives of their children, husband, friends and families with our inner sense of human perfection.  

If we ourselves are on the path to becoming our live's potential then we touch others with our vibrations. 
Enriching our family and friends.  

A good woman, a Goddess, improves all she touches.

This is our POWER, this is our GIFT, this is what makes us Goddesses. 

Yes, I have used my womanly body to bear children and caring and loving those children makes me a mother.
 I believe the more I teach my children the better mother I am.

Yes, I have found love and joined my life with another person and that has made me a wife.
 I believe the more I share my life with my husband or significant other the better wife I am.

Understanding all that, I also recognize that being a wife and a mother is only possible because I am a Goddess. 
If I don't acknowledge and nurture my own dreams and aspirations I will never fully come into my power or realize 
my true potential. 

There are many things that I must learn to live The Goddess Life. 

As women we must use our full range of senses. Not just our bodily senses, sight, smell, vision and taste. 
We must use our sense of INTUITION we must trust our inner voice.
We must CENTER our EMOTIONS, and live with clarity.
We must find CONFIDENCE in our own bodies and embrace our femininity. 

Okay, so that's enough of my personal philosophy. 

I challenge you to step out of your box and embrace all the things about you that make you unhappy. 
I challenge you to try something new and be conscious of the way you carry yourself. 

The Goddess Life is about, 

Knowledge of Self

 Knowledge of Body

Strength of Mind 

Unwavering Self love.

Welcome Goddesses!

Thank You!

The Goddess Life

I love this definition from Goddess to Goddess. 

It touches upon all the principals I deeply believe in. 

Follow your INTUITION, believe in your STRENGTH, and listen to your INNER VOICE,

Woman Know Thyself

If your a woman like me than I believe in your ability to connect to the power you have inside. 

The power that makes your potential limitless.

Embrace your inner Goddess.

Don't allow your daily struggles to distract you from living your best life.
Challenges make us stronger. Strength is born from defeating weakness.
Weakness is eliminated by doing something hard.
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
Pick your path stand strong.

I will be sharing my experiences and practices which have helped me better manage my life as a wife, and mother.  In order to find the energetic space to blossom as a goddess. 

I will be writing under these Categories

Organize Your Life

Find Your Voice
Get Tough 

Authentically YOU.

All with the hopes that my journey will help you better live 

The Goddess Life

Open & Honest GIRL Talk

WARNING... What I'm about to say may Shock some of you or make you a little uncomfortable.
Sorry but, sometimes we need to have GIRL talk. LOL!
Okay, 

Moment of honesty between us goddesses. 

Ready, I prefer home remedies to doctor's visits. 

That itchy, uncomfortable, burning feeling is the most annoying, agitating sensations, uuuggghhh!
Ya know.....................yeast infections!!!

 Uuuuummmm, it's a form of torture.

It doesn't happen all that often but when it does, it makes me miserable.

So when the feeling starts it's hard not to panic and run to the drug store. 

But, somehow, I manage to make it to my fridge and grab my stash of plain yogurt, hidden way in the back behind the pickles. 

Yes, I use plain yogurt on/in my girl!

OKAY I SAID IT!!!!!

And I thought it was just me. Between my friends it's just one of those things that just doesn't really come up in conversation. So I thought it was just my secret but NO, 

Karen over at The Art Of Doing Stuff was talking about "my" yogurt cure.  Well it's her yogurt cure too.

She also made this totally awesome and hilarious video on Youtube. You have to check her out, she knows lots of stuff about lots of stuff!!!

So....Goddess to Goddess please! Pause before you ring the GYN people, most lady problems have home remedies, that are seriously a lot more gentle for your flowers. 

Also, FYI yeast infections are often cause by an imbalance of PH within the vagina, or an over growth of already present "bad" bacteria.  Heavy soaps, or taking antibiotic can cause this problem. So try a +PRObiotics with your -anitbiotics. Again this is my personal opinion about things that I have personally tried and your more than free to try or ignore any of my suggestions. Just want to share my experience living the goddess life.

If you have any experiences relating to "Home Remedies of The Goddess Life I would love to read about them. I'll even post them all here as goddess reference.

Thanks again Karen at The Art of Doing Stuff!!!

Please leave one for me!
