Madam Justice Remembered





 Rest in peace 

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg...You were, by your word and deed, an over comer, and an amazing human being... wife, mother, and attorney at law. You brought your strength, brilliant legal mind and your desire to respectfully, thoughtfully and philosophically include all that is civilized and humane to the US Supreme Court.

For all you were, throughout your entire life...for your contributions and the highest of standards  you brought forward, in every capacity in which you served, I honor you . You clearly desired to allow justice  to come   through by   sound presentation of truth,  through the merit of delivery and presentation  of arguments put before you. That is the legacy that will keep you forever in history and our hearts and minds.

Thank you, Madam Justice.

Don't Give Up

As long as you have a pulse...your story is still being written and God charges you to be the witselfriter. Don't  let one upsetting  or discouraging scene be the last scene.That may have needed to play  out to get to the next scene, in ways you don't understand. ...Have Faith in God's  promise and know you will fulfill your destiny. Blessings,  Deborah Mullan 

Reminder:
Let me say it again...

Don't  Give Up!

As long as you have a pulse...your story is still being written and God charges you to be the writer. Don't  let one upsetting  or discouraging scene be the last scene.That may have needed to play itself out to get to the next scene, in ways you don't understand. ...Have Faith in God's  promise and know you will fulfill your destiny.

For The Love Of God and Country!



 SPEAK UP! If You cherish your Freedom and American Way of Life...Your constitutional rights and therefore freedom, are at stake! I, for one, do not want to give my life up to a socialist government. 

"If the church does not rise up and speak, the political structure will collapse."

Margaret Thatcher 


Remember, Truth has a vertical dimension. It's  moral reasoning that gives us an anchor against that which opposes Truth. Stay rooted in the fertile, moral Truth of God. Stand in the oneness of God and speak!

Challenging Yourself!

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
One of my favorite pictures...challenge yourself! It reminds me that we can conquer our fears and turn them into victories that make us strong!
Balance ...find Peace and Dare.... Don't be afraid, you were born with everything you need to know because the Devine light is inside you.... The view from that perspective is ...SPECTACULAR! 
Yet, if you find times troubling, remember the divine presence is only one breath away....

Who Are We And Where Are We Going?

DROPPING  THE PRETENSE:

Most of us have changed or are changing the way we cope and comport ourselves, these days. Yes, we may not be holding up the pretense we've employed in the past... that's a bit jarring...however, wow, are we getting real! That is a good thing. Let's get our priorities straight! So, hit the reset button! It's  going to be fine, in time.

         Pretense vs.                     Real
Oh my... oh well.
The real concern is, are we dealing with these new situations that are causing these changes to our lives and all the personal standards we are finding it difficult to be beholdant to, so we feel better about ourselves...
Deep breaths please, we'll find our new normal and maybe, just maybe, we will find ourselves in a better place, coping well, in an ever changing world.

Spending Time Together...

 What's up? I know these can be hard and scary times, but what creative things have you found to do to pass the time we have  been afforded? We I am doing doggie things on the couch with my sibs. Mom is making  dinner in the kitchen. Fun.
Please don't waste a second of the time you have together. Do positive things and give your family a new take on old familiar experiences while home.

Alcoholism: From Another Point Of View




Alchoholism
If you've ever loved an alcoholic, you will understand this picture...
So few of them and so many  of us,  who love them, ever escape the entrapment of that glass...There is hope in prayer! Put them in God's hands. You can only do so much and the pain you feel will shatter your heart. Seek professional help and find your strength in God's peace. Blessings

Stay Calm and Listen!

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future

Jeremiah 29:11



True, we all struggle. Most of us do our best to bare our burdens because we know it's part of life... but how many times do we consider that life in the flesh is temporal and in that temporal, earth bound, limited aspect of our lives, lies the frenetic struggle which spins us and eats away at us. This leaves us desperate and defeated...HOP ELESS! Not to mention,  questioning everything.
However, if we consider the part of our being that is  spiritual, the only true and eternal part of ourselves, then the negative is limited and does not have any real lasting power over us.
We can choose the thoughts we think, we can add things to our lives that are good and nuturing. Surround ourselves with people that we support, support us  and our purpose filled journey is what brings us true joy and leads us to the knowing of His will.
So, still yourself and see it is possible to quiet the negative, self defeating chatter. When you find yourself questioning any feelings of failure, fear and deception that's welling up inside you...ask yourself this question...who's the negative voice going on and on inside your head?
This is not the voice of your creator. It's  not the one who loves you, and gave you a life with purpose and intent, and brought you into this world to love others and serve Him.
Be still, see Him in your mind's eye and walk (run) toward Him. Listen to Him, feel His peace. Know He will lead you. Trust in Him, not in the words of others whose allegiance is tied to things of this world...that energy will seek to pillage and destroy you and all you love...He loves you very much and will guide you through anything ...enabling you so you may complete the purposeful journey He planned for you. 
May you alway find the peace of God.

Wait! This Is Crazy...



REALLY! My head is spinning. There are sales everywhere. Well, that's nice, I should take advantage of these lower prices! Wait, I remember seeing this blouse more than a year ago...no, I must be imagining things. How is this happening because these markdown prices are for cruisewear summer items...thinking, thinking...wait. These ARE last years summer clothes AND they are mixed with this winter's clothes. Just a minute, I don't need any more winter clothes. Hmm, I'm saving my money and I'll wait to buy new things for coming next season. I don't even know what will be in style or what I need."💡" I can take a vacation with the money I'd be spending or I can save the money I'd  spend on things I don't need or really want! Hello! How about if I save the money until I know what I need and the styles I  actually want...yeah!
So, that's that...my lucky day!
#getsmart

* If you truly need something and it's on sale, buy it! If you can wait a little, see when it might go on a second or third markdown.

Look, Reflect, Choose, Grow

It's about taking 
it all in, all perspectives and realizing you have many choices. ...have you been narrow minded or just blind to vast possibilities of 
what could be true? 


Take a good look around you, take it all in and think. Are you actually reflecting on and relating to all that's possible out there? We can have different views or change our views on issues in our lives.
Yet, once we really consider all of our options, we can realize we are not permanently bound to things which appear to hold us back and frankly hold us captive in an unsatisfying lifestyle or from what we precieved to be a painful relationship.Please, 
grow, embrace the unfamiliar and get your creative juices flowing!

How To Plan For A Spring Summer Wardrobe



So, how are
you planning for your Spring/Summer
Wardrobe?


Perhaps we need to stop buying for winter and start thinking SPRING/SUMMER! Your budget will be severely adjusted if you are not planning  ahead. So, what should you be doing, right now?
Look at what's trending, what's realistic for your lifestyle and what pieces you  can use from years past. You will be amazed at how much less you need to buy, if you really plan carefully. Remember,  trendy is good, but those pieces may end up in the back of your closet for years (probably long forgotten about). So, don't buy what you don't need.
#plan #doyourhomework
#whatdoyou have
#trytobuytimelesspieces
#thinkexpansionnotreplacement.

If you need some guidance, let me know. It will cost you less money in the end. I've been dealing with these issues since the age of 11...wow, do the math, that's 57 years! I'm good at this and well experienced in regard to these issues. I'll be glad to help you learn about these ideas and techniques, that will, serve you well... year after year.

Your Success and Happiness?

How your mood can influence your level of success and happiness!


You create the mood  that is a reflection of your persona and you do this by the way you dress and tend to your personal care. However you present yourself...do your best, be your authentic self! Please note that you can drastically alter your mood  by holding yourself accountable for the standards that you keep. This doesn't require money. It requires that your personal hygiene and choice of appropriate clothing can drastically alter the way you feel and how other people see you! One can even go as far as saying your success and happiness can be drastically altered by how much importance you place on place on these areas of your life.
