If you hang out on the Facebook Page then you've probably noticed the new Daily Gratitude posts popping up, ya know, daily. Gratitude is so important to me and remembering that life is good, even when I'm having a bad day.It's a constant reminder of my blessings.When you are practicing an attitude of gratitude it gives you the excuse to notice the little things. You suddenly start noticing all of the things that are going right, all of the teeny...
As many of you know I live in Oklahoma and the city of Moore is right next to my city. The elementary school that was destroyed is just nine miles north of me.Thankfully my family and I were not directly affected but as I went to work that night at the store I work at, I saw people coming in battered, bruised, and bloody. People who had lost all of their belongings and were coming in to buy clothes. There were also people with shopping carts full...
Chances are you're a little weird. Yes, I mean you, and you know what? I think that's awesome. I like my people weird and you guys are my people.Sometimes I'll be going about my day and I'll do something weird and I'll think "This is why I'm single." I don't mean it in a negative way, more in an I-am-just-too-awesome-to-handle way.I have learned to embrace my weirdness, my quirks, and those strange things that I do. I wouldn't change them for all...
My number one goal/mission/purpose in life is to encourage women to love themselves and to have good self-esteem and a positive self-image. It sounds so simple: Love yourself.But when you really think about it, it encompasses so much and it can completely change the world.If you think about all of the problems that stem from women and girls not loving themselves you get the bigger picture. When you don't love yourself, you tend to have low self-esteem...
I have a little confession to make. Maybe you already know, I'm sure I've said it before, but maybe I haven't.I have a problem with codependency.I know, you're thinking "Whaaaaat? But Dominee, you've been a single lady for forever and ever and most of the time you talk about liking it."That's true too. I stay away from relationships because I know what it holds for me. I get addicted to love, to relationships, to being needed by someone. And...
I finally got the deck Oracle of the Shapeshifters in the mail a few days ago and I have been loving the cards, they are fantastic! Yesterday I even pulled cards for fans of the Facebook Page, and I'll definitely be doing that again, so stay tuned!Today, I pulled a card for you, for me, for us, and I wanted to share it with you. I love sharing the messages of the cards, they allow us to look deeper into what is happening around us.This card...
Almost a year ago I wrote about my biological father, the one I've never met and only talked to on the phone twice as a child.I wrote him a letter three years ago and a year later he responded with a Christmas card and two pictures of himself as young adult. Finally learning what he looked like, after over twenty years of wondering, seemed like enough for me at the time. It closed the door on that chapter of my life of wishing for a father,...
My vacation from the retail job is coming to a close and as it ends I'm finding myself thinking about all of the little things that keep me happy, fill me with joy, and basically keep me sane through juggling 40-hour work weeks and my job here.What makes me feel like a Goddess?A nice cup of hot tea while reading a book by SARK is a favorite. So are luxurious naps and sitting out on my balcony enjoying the fresh air. Taking a walk in the early morning...
Sometimes I'm mean to me... but I'm getting better.Have you ever had days when you look in the mirror and nothing good comes to mind? Or you're getting ready to go out, you try on your favorite shirt, and all you can think about is how unattractive you look? Days when looking in the mirror allows you to see nothing but criticisms?I have those days.A few weeks ago I was walking home from work and taking pictures of myself, because I'm a selfie addict....
Hello you beautiful person you.I'm on vacation from the retail job right now and there's one thing that always crops up for me around this time: aloneness vs. loneliness.You should know that I'm a bit of a hermit. I rarely go out and I'm very selective about who I hang out with. I am the definition of a homebody and I'm fine with that. I think it's why the Goddess Hestia and I mesh so well.I get a good amount of social time and friend time at the...
"I don't know what to do.I feel so lost.So directionless.So empty, very empty.Sad too, all sadness.What do I do?I sit here.I write things.I cry.And I have no idea why I'm doing it.Well, I know why I'm crying, what I don't know is why I'm sitting here not doing anything about it.I could get motivated. I could set my mind on something else. I could stop feeling sorry for myself. Yeah, right.Maybe I should concentrate on this oh so wonderful future...
