    For me, I always make sure my kids feel the love. Even though they’re grown now, they still look forward to their Valentine’s treats—candy, cards, flowers, and all the little things that remind them they are loved. And this year, they surprised me with a teddy bear, flowers, and candy! Talk about a full-circle moment.

    So, to everyone out there, Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re celebrating with a significant other, your best friends, your family, or just yourself—know that you are loved, you are valued, and you are special.

    10 ways to live a happier life

    By: Cece Hymes

    When you look at that title it is so many ways to live a happier life right. Some of the ways I believe are:

    1.Think Positive- Now this one for me is really big. I try to stay in a positive mindset. Sometimes I get taken out of character but I try to go back to that positive side. I also try to speak positively to others. I don’t want any negative energy.

    2. Do things that make you feel alive- Now for me that’s doing things I never did before going to new places and trying new things. It’s so much in the world you have never seen and done why not try different things. I am working on this. I even started a bucket list.

    3. Stay away from negative people- This is a big one. I try to do this all the time. Do not complain a lot to me, You can’t mess up my vibes because that’s how you want to see the world with a negative eye.

    4. Do something nice for others- You will always feel good and be happy when you help someone out the kindest of your heart.

    5. Meditate- This helps me to clear my mind and think positive thoughts. It helps me wind down and it also helps me sleep. It works for me.

    6. Giving Back-This works for me knowing that I am doing something in the community and not just living for just me. I love giving to the seniors, homeless and youth. I am trying to get more involved in these things. It makes me happy.

    7. Music- To me music makes people happy, It can get you in the mood to smile, dance, and get in a zone. You can never go wrong with putting on some good music to take your mind off things and groove.

    8. Fill your life with Love- Now who doesn’t love being loved. Someone giving you happy love, making you feel special and feel beautiful or handsome.

    9. Forgiveness- Forgive the people that hurt you. You want to forgive and get that off your chest and let it go. You will live a better life. Not to hold grudges and to be at peace.

    10. Vacations- I always go back to relaxing and clearing your mind. We all work hard and need a break from life, from people, and more. Getaway trips, Vacations are needed. To see the world. To relax and enjoy life. It’s a lot more to see in this world than where you stay.

    These are some of the 10 things that help me live a better life. Let me know some things that make you live a better life. What are your 10 ways? Hope this helps someone.

  • Self Love & Care Kit

    Self-Love & Care Kit

    Self Love

    What does Self Care mean? When I look it up it says it is the practice of individuals looking after their own health using the knowledge and information available to them.

    With Self care you can do a lot of different things. Everyone does their self-care differently. For me I like to read and listen to motivational things. I like going to pamper myself by getting a manicure and pedicure. To be in a positive and peaceful mind works for me.

    In my opinion I do think everyone needs to take out that time to themselves sometimes. Have a day to relax and pamper yourself. Maybe go to the beach, listen to the waves, relax and take your mind off everything. Sometimes that helps me and then I come back and be ready. Life can get hard, and we need a break from life.

    I love this Quote by Oprah Winfrey “Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure”.

    Care Kit

    What is a care kit? It’s a parcel of food, money, or luxury items sent to a loved one who is away.

    They have a lot of packages out there. They have some for nails, motivation, food and more. I make some sometimes for different occasions for motivation. I do one for women’s day, Breast cancer month and sometimes other holidays. These can get you through life. Some self-care kits great ideas:

    1.       Candles

    2.       Books

    3.       Chocolate

    4.       Cards

    5.       Spa items

    This mentally helps people out. Let me know what self-care means to you and what care kits you usually use.

    Interview with Kissa Jo

    By: Where It Begins

    Quote “I love to create so most of my hobbies are doing just that. I make dream catchers, waist beads, and paint but I’m most passionate about acting and producing shows and films.”

    Q. Tell us more about Kissa Jo?

    A. I am a goddess that believes my purpose is to spread love and healing through tantra, dancing, and music. I’m all about love and light and sharing my journey to complete self-love (my light and darkness) with those in need.

    Q. What or who influenced you to get into music?

    A. I’ve wanted to do music since I was a little girl. I think my biggest influences would have to be my 2 first loves: My daddy and Michael Jackson. My father has a beautiful voice and sings with a group in church. When I would hear or watch them perform, I would be In heaven.

    Q. Tell us about your EP (Therapy)?

    A. My EP Therapy is a kind of road map of my healing. From losing control and falling into temptation, in the first song Dangerous, to the last song Feels Like Love, where I finally love myself and can have a healthy love with others; therapy is a love story with myself.

    One last thing I would like to add in these times of uncertainty is to be gentle and loving with yourself and others. Love will always win. Breathe through it and know you’ll be ok.
