Press Release 10/28/2013

 

HAVE YOU MET LIFE YET?

Life has a habit of catching us off guard. Whether it switched plans, has fallen off track, or has been flipped upside down, life is guaranteed to re-introduce itself in some form or another. When life forces us to give up stubborn rigidity or comfortable ritual we are forced to confront change, be it for better or worse. As Sharman Monroe has learned, how we decide to face change makes all the difference in embracing a new life.

Proud Washingtonian, Sharman Monroe was born in raised in Washington, D.C.  After receiving her B.S. from American University Continue reading “Stubbs Talks Life with Sharman Monroe” →

This post on judging people was supposed to give you tools to help you to stop judging others.  I decided to hold off on the helpful tools post because I needed to make sure I wasn’t just spouting off and was talking about something personal to me.

 In case you are not one of my regular readers, you should know the purpose of my blog is to share my experiences and personal growth lessons I am learning at this juncture in my life.  So when I finished the first post on judging people I wondered why I felt compelled to write it. Now when I use the word “judge or judging”, I mean making a decision or assumption about someone before you meet and talk with him or her.  In the first post, I admitted to being guilty of judging people.  But the more I thought about why I was writing the post the more I came to realize Continue reading “Are You The Judge (Part 2)” →

Have you ever seen a stranger across the room and, based on what you see, made a decision about that person?  Have you ever made a judgment about a person based on what he or she does for a living or has done in the past?  Of course you have. We all do it. I’ve done it to other people and people have done it to me.

Judging someone is about forming an opinion about that person without all the facts, before you get to know him or her.  I’m not going to talk about how wrong it is to judge another person because I think you already know that.  I’m going to point out how judging someone hurts you in three specific ways: Continue reading “Are You The Judge?

Set The Direction

My Journey to Me-The Discovery

This post doesn’t come from my thoughts or things that are happening in my life. I got this post from a friend who forwarded it to me from another friend.  The message was so profound and so necessary for personal growth, the theme of this blog, that I was compelled to share it on this blog.  Here it is:

What you think of yourself has a major impact on what you do with your life. Think more positively about yourself and your world, and every area of your life will reflect it. Continue reading “Set The Direction” →

What Color Are You?

My Journey to Me-The Discovery

If you read my blog regularly, you know I have fallen in love with  Pinterest, a website where people share their interests via photos (pins) with comments.  I especially like the inspirational quotes I find.  This one shouted at me the other day:

what color is your attitude

My day at the beach was perfect!  The weather and water was warm – just right for sitting for hours .  The sky was blue with only a few clouds drifting across it.  The word for the day was RELAX!. Click on the picture above to enjoy my photos from the day.

You Are Not The Center Of The Universe

My Journey to Me-The Discovery

Very often, we start things with the purpose of gaining money or fame or something else for ourselves.  But what we don’t realize is the real purpose is to help someone else.  We may not know the person when we start or we may meet him or her while we are going along the way.  And it’s always several people – it’s never just one person.

One of the tenets of personal growth is to get your mind off of you.  You are not the center of the universe.  Believe it or not, Continue reading “You Are Not The Center Of The Universe” →
