I’m Sorry….

Katrina Russell

I don't know where he learned this, but I want to make sure that my son doesn't pick up this habit. I want my son to apologize for things he's really sorry for, not just pay lip service. I want my son to feel comfortable in his own skin and with his own actions. I want my son to look forward to people's news. I want "Guess what?" to be a question of excitement not dread. It's important to teach empathy and awareness.. it's something else to create anxiety and guilt.. or a fear of being wrong just for being oneself.

Actually, Yes, send your prayers!

Katrina Russell

Some people feel as though prayer is a waste of time, but any positive energy sent to those in pain is a good thing. Even if you don't believe in the power of vibration.. the law of attraction.. or the power of prayer, I imagine you must understand how it feels to see that others are thinking of you and hoping for your well-being.

This is no place for hate!

Katrina Russell

And to be honest, I don't really care which political figure says what about it. Who condones, who condemns, who ignores is not my problem. We are not a country of politicians. We are a country of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and children. We need to speak up. We need to not let hate, fear, and anger control the media and the tone of our world.

Sometimes to create a new life you have to forget your old one.

Katrina Russell

A lot of people talk about positive thinking... but you can't just tell yourself "I'm fit" or "I'm not an addict" and expect that to change your life. You have to retrain your brain. You have to picture yourself fit.. you have to picture all the new habits that you need to develop to become that person. You have to retrain your brain into thinking of yourself as the person who works out regularly.. that chooses fresh fruits, veggies, and lean proteins.. instead of the person who thinks of themselves as sitting on the couch eating pizza.

Be Brave!

Katrina Russell

Yet in real life it's the same. We grow up on these movies. Being taught that we have the power to create the life we want, yet we are always turning to someone else. We need someone to give us a job. We need someone to love us, to marry us. We need someone or something to create our worth and our destiny. Can't we, as a society, finally realize that if we want the life we desire... we need to decide.. and do it ourselves.

When you look back, what do you want to see?

Katrina Russell

"Regrets... I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention..." We all love the old blues tune, but how many of us think about regrets... I don't mean past ones, I mean the ones that we are creating right now.

What happens outside the comfort zone?

Katrina Russell

When was the last time that you did something outside of your comfort zone? Most of us live our lives by routine, which isn't entirely bad. There is a lot to be said for security and piece of mind, but there is also more to life.
