I often have people asking me how they can turn their life around and become happy, joyful, even blissful and I always give one answer: Whatever happens to you simply say “Thank you God for everything that happens to me.” Immaterial if we deem it to be so-called “good” or “bad” at that moment, we usually have no idea how it is going to turn out. Having the faith, belief and resulting behaviour to say…

Top 7 Gluten-Free Grains For People With Celiac Disease
The “gluten-free” trend has become so popular over recent years that in almost every food establishment, you can find a gluten-free option. Eating gluten-free is a diet that many adopt for specific health reasons, others for potential weight loss, and others simply because they feel better when they remove gluten from their diet. Eating gluten-free doesn’t always mean healthier, however. Many companies advertise food this way to market their food as “healthier,” but many gluten-free products have little to no…

Jenni McGill Tripping Out in Ferrari Again
Oh oh… I think I got in a little trouble with Jenni again — but just the right amount of trouble. lol. Jenni McGill: “Don't scare me this time… ok?” Bryant McGill: “Okay, sure…” Why is Jenni screaming, instead of enjoying a “relaxing” seaside summer drive? 😂 Palm Beach, Miami, Key West — South Florida, here we come. Oh my gosh! I haven't screamed like this since Bryant took me jet skiing in Newport Beach. It's one of the reason…

6 Steps to Encourage Positive Thinking
Think of your thoughts as though they were strangers passing on the street. You can choose to stop them, to have a chat, or to simply pass them by. Which thoughts will you invite into your home? Which thoughts will you allow to influence you? Which thoughts will change you? If you strike up a conversation with a negative thought, you get to decide how often that thought comes around, or how often you let it work against you. Simply…

8 Steps to Heat Up Self-Love and Make Your Relationships Sizzle
“If you don’t love yourself, you’ll always be chasing after people who don’t love you either.” — Mandy Hale My childhood was filled with negativity, verbal taunts and attacks. In my parent’s eyes, I never felt good enough. I was not enough in school, not a good child at home and not even human. Why is it that Asian parents crush our spirits (and self-worth) by putting us at par with jungle animals? I was called every animal in the…

3 Simple Steps To Loving Yourself More
I believe we are born naturally loving ourselves. Then, a panoply of various circumstances and experiences compound over the years, providing fertile ground for our egos to collaborate with those past mistakes and unfavorable experiences to condition us otherwise. It then becomes our job to keep our egos in check and teach them how to use the wisdom gained from past experiences for our own benefit, rather than twisting it into (invalid) reasons for beating ourselves up. When we learn…

Why You Should Never Let Your Dog Lick You
Cute slobbery kisses from your furry canine friends might melt your heart, but they can also cause some fairly serious health issues. You might have heard that a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s, but that’s a big myth! So if you or your loved ones enjoy a little puppy love now and then, you should never let your dog lick you … especially your face. Why is this harmful? Most animal’s mouths are loaded with bacteria and viruses,…

These Energy-Boosting Herbs Help Keep You Awake Without the Coffee Jitters
If you’re like most adults, you can’t start your day without a cup of coffee. Or two, or five. But drinking too much coffee can be bad for your health, so you might want to slow down. While coffee gives you an energy boost, this effect is only temporary, making you crave another cup so you can finish working even if you’re already tired. Coffee contains caffeine, which is a potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulant. This means that caffeine temporarily…

Are You Ready to Get Naked?
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours. And not just your highlight reel, but your blooper reel too. I want to see all the skeletons in your closet. Your wounds, scars, weaknesses, the bodies in the trunk of your car, go ahead and bring them all out. Somebody needs to see them. We live in a culture of angles and filters, auto-tune and photoshop but real influence will always be hidden in vulnerability. There’s power in confession, when…

6 Tips For Amazing Self Confidence
Most of us will rummage through life picking up bits of confidence here and there, but never truly find a way to harness that power. Some of our naturally-born spirit might come from doing things we are naturally good at from an early age. Whether that be a musical instrument we happen to pick up at age 2 or we begin to draw at age 5. Confidence derives itself from moments of triumph. Failures can push us into moments of…

What to Do If You Are Buried Alive in Clutter
It is often said that the physical clutter we surround ourselves with is an external representation of what is going on in our mind. I have found that to be very true for me many times. When my emotions become saturated and my mind cluttered with negative, self-sabotaging or repetitive thoughts, it seems to translate into my physical world. The drain on my mental and emotional energy consumed by being too caught up in my head seems to have a…

If you have been struggling to attract a life partner who is compatible with you and who shares the similar values and aspirations with you, just remember that it very possible to achieve. The paradox of this pursuit is that in order to find that person we have to stop searching.

On the Battlefield of Life at Rock Bottom there is Still a Promise of Hope
When I was younger, I walked around in a storm, constantly plagued by worry and stress. I carried so much unresolved anger and unhealed pain that the world felt like a battlefield. I was constantly on guard, ready for confrontation, ready to fight. My mind raced a million miles a minute. I had no peace; I had no reprieve. My constant state of angst left me on edge like a ticking time bomb. I was ready to go off at…

Meet Your Dream Halfway
What’s your dream? That thing that burns deep in your soul, whispering to you whenever the noise around you dissipates long enough for you to hear it? We all have dreams, hopes, aspirations. Our soul is crying out to be heard. Over time the screams get louder and the flames more intense, until we can no longer ignore our calling. But what if you can’t hear your soul’s desires?

What Kenny Rogers Taught Me About Relationships
You know the lyrics from the popular song, The Gambler, by Kenny Rogers. “You’ve got to know when to hold’em, know when to fold’em, know when to walk away and know when to run.” Well as silly as it may sound, that song taught me more about relationships and boundaries than any college book, psychology class, or overpriced therapist ever could. Here’s what I learned. You got to know when to hold’em — Or in other words, it isn’t time…

Will It Be Worth It?
We don’t want to have to. We just want it to work out. We do everything we can to prove that we belong, that we’re in the right place, that he’s the right one for us. We play the part, we take on the role, we pour all our time and energy into making this our place. Except that forcing something that isn’t meant to be forced — that doesn’t want to be forced — never works out in the…

Spectrum of Humanity
After several decades of struggle, it is now recognized that diversity is not just a caprice of some optimists and realists. Perhaps it would take other millennia before everybody completely embraces the wonders behind our differences. Nevertheless, one thing will always remain certain: it is universally accepted fact that we all want to be included in the civilization of human race worthy of appreciation. To enumerate the entire spectrum of humanity is somehow impossible, yet it is my singular honor…
