As I sit back and think about my weekend and the coming days ahead, I can’t help but smile and be thankful for all of the positive changes and supportive friends in my life, my sense of ‘personal power’ and confidence. I was surrounded by all of my girlies this weekend, as we celebrated my wedding with the Bridal Shower. I couldn’t ask for a better group of girls!!! Some people walk into your life… only to walk out soon after, some people walk in to your life and stay a while… and they walk out, some people walk into your life and pull up a chair and a glass of wine… and stay a while! The one’s that love and care about your feelings and happiness are the ones you want to be around! For now, although my life is crazy busy (no pun intended, yes maam… I’m still crazy and even more crazy for running around all day in heels) I’m constantly thinking about my new job (which I absolutely love!), the wedding, school, and yes… the new job, the wedding, and school again… a constant rush of ideas from one to the next… at all times. I’m happy and excited as I think about what tomorrow will bring… I already know it’ll be better than the last as I know, without a doubt, that I made the best decision possible for my life (and sanity)! It’s so refreshing to be in a ‘functional’ environment; happy, young, motivated money makers surround me… and they’re nice, encouraging, and respectful… who’da thought you could have all of that at work?! Love it!! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

So excited to start a new “adventure” tomorrow! My life is headed in an unknown direction, but I have a feeling it’s going to include; happiness, respect, success, and enjoyment!

If you feel stuck, get un-stuck! If you feel un-happy, get happy! If you stay on the same old boring path of your “so called life” ~ you aren’t going to get far! It’s sad really, watching people “bury” themselves in their “so called happiness”! For now… I’ll focus on me, my happiness… and I couldn’t be happier!!! Ta Ta for now ~ XOXO CrazyInHeels

“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people then dominate them, more ‘manhood’ to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.” - Alex Karras

It takes a strong mind to try and understand other people and where they’re coming from, relating to people as they are. As an adult, I’ve learned to face problems and negative situations in a peaceful manner. There is no need to try and argue, gossip, and yell. When trying to deal with a negative situation it’s best to remain calm and very politely create your boundaries. My emotions are very strong, as I’m a ‘crazy gal’, but that doesn’t mean that I have to back down to those that are wrong and crossing the boundaries I’ve set to take care of me. When I feel strong emotionally, I’m capable of facing any adversity, so the moral of the story… take your meds, start a habit that empowers you, perhaps you could go shopping ;p and remember you control your life, thoughts, and actions… so, set those boundaries and stick to ‘em! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

The last two days have been absolutely fabulous!!! I feel like I’ve grown sooooo much over the last year, and even more so over the last six months! I finally understand the power that comes along with confidence, true confidence that allows you to keep your head up and demand the respect you deserve from those around you. Please keep in mind, this isn’t an arrogant confidence, rather a peaceful and respectful confidence. As we move through life (in heels of course) we will encounter negative and positive experiences. It’s what you do with these experiences that count the most. I’m now strong and confident enough to face confrontation smack dab in the face… without fear! I can stand tall in my red stilettos, remain calm, and politely excuse negative people and situations out of my life. When you learn to own your own power in a respectful manner and stick up for yourself, the people around you that are negative will be left with their tail between their legs, knowing full well that they’ve “messed up” Girl, you control your life and everything in it, if you don’t like something… get out there and change it!

I can honestly say that I’m happy, confident, peaceful, and yes… blonde but also smart! I’m not sitting in the corner anymore, I’m dancing around in heels excited to begin a new journey! XOXO – CrazyInHeels

I have come to learn a few important things over the last year and I would like to verbalize them… just to make sure some people understand me!!!…

- Yup, I’m blonde and cute… but that doesn’t make me dumb!

- I’m motivated, driven, and oh yeah…. still smart!

- I’ve learned to stand up for myself and own my own power!

- I’m not going to let people “think” they’re superior to me… as they AREN”T!

- I have enough confidence to walk away from people that are disrespecting me!

- Wow… I finally know how strong and confident I am, love it!

Moving onward and upward in success! (Because I’m capable of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

As much as I would love to be superwomen, running from one task to the other, it’s nearly impossible to get everything done that I want to get done. After my wedding I’ll be back in full force, providing insight into my crazy life! I’m trying to soak in all of the wedding excitement, enjoy the moment but, unfortunately… it’s been a challenge. I’ve been reminded that life isn’t always “peachy”! Sometimes things happen that just knock me right of my heels, I look up and wonder how some people can be so negative, selfish, and completely ignorant! What I must remember is that I CONTROL MY HAPPINESS, NO ONE ELSE! I’ve been telling myself that for years, but sometimes the “grandiosity” characteristic of manic (inflated feeling of superiority, wanting to fix someone who’s ill, but can’t) must gently subside so I can get back to my shopping, martinis, socializing, and for the love of my shiny red stiletto’s…. be happy! Seriously, these “mood busters” as I’ll kindly refer to them ( a few choice words do come to mind) oh, where was I, trying to forgive and forget the negative people that want so desperately to steal my happiness because they aren’t strong enough to find some of their own! I had a great weekend, and most importantly I’m marrying my handsome, none the less, best friend! – XOXO CrazyInHeels

As if my life couldn’t get any crazier… I just found out the class I’m in for the next 7 weeks has two papers and a quiz due every week, OMG… my wedding is in 8 weeks. As I thought about my predicament, which is: 1) Crazy busy with work, I’m really trying to learn and grow more within my current job 2) Crazy busy with schoolwork, my nights disappear into books, papers, and research 3) My “spare” time which is far and few between is spent working on my wedding!!! Some would say “That’s too much to do, you’re crazy (yes, I am), where does all my time go, but then I had a new thought, I can think of this in a positive manner… 1) Job security 2) I’m obtaining an education that is priceless but also extremely empowering 3) I’m marrying an incredible man whom I love dearly! So, with my new found thought process I easily move from one task to the next. I feel like I’m happy, I have energy, and I’m accomplishing a lot but I also notice a slight weight loss, constant thoughts flying around in my head, last night I couldn’t fall asleep… am I slowly working my way into a manic state?! I wouldn’t mind the extra energy (who wouldn’t!) but I don’t want to crash!!! For now, I realize what might or might not be happening, being aware is what will help me deal with the “situation” at hand. I’ll be running around, crazy as ever… in heels none the less :) – CrazyInHeels
