Christmas Gift

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.  With Christmas approaching I've been quite busy.  Since it is Christmas time I would love to share a little bit about what Christmas means to me. 

Every year around this time so many people scurry around to buy gifts for loved ones that we often forget what Christmas is truly about.  This is the season of giving and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.  It upsets me when I hear someone say "Bah Humbug".  Yes I know, all the running around puts a lot of stress on everyone but it doesn't have to be that way.  I love the joy on every one's faces this time of year and I love the magic the spirit brings.  I know money is tight for a lot of people but their is truly much more to be thankful for.  There have been times I wasn't able to provide a Christmas for my kids and I remember what it was like, although, it never took away from my season of giving and I was always blessed. 
They say the best gift at Christmas time is "giving", and it truly is.  Below is a list of things you can do this year to bless someone this Christmas season.
1. Show you care for others...... Visit someone in a nursing home or in the hospital (you don't have to know them)
2. Show Kindness.....Wrap gifts for your neighbors that work all day and don't have time
3. Show spirit....Sing a Christmas Carol to a lonely Child or Family
4. Show love.....Wish a merry Christmas to anyone within 30 feet from you (be extra polite)
5. Show Courtesy.....Open the door for someone
6. Show Patience.....While waiting in line at the store let the person behind you go in front of you.
7. Show forgiveness....Tell someone you forgive them.
8. Show generosity......Help provide a dinner for those that don't have the funds to do so.  If you don't know of someone, give to an organization who will.
9. Show Hope.....Pray for those that lost someone this year or those that had a tough time.
10. Show Compassion......Hug those you can and always smile for the others you can't reach. 
11. Give faith to those who don't believe.......Display a novelty set on your front lawn
12.  Share the story of Christ with others
13. Hand out candy canes with a card

These are just a few things you can do to bless someone with the gift of Christmas spirit. Over the holidays there are many who take their own lives due to loneliness during the holidays and these are great ways to show someone you care about them and maybe save their live.  Nothing makes me happier, then to see others smile.......That truly is the best gift anyone can give me next to just being with my family.

Building my dreams!!

It is amazing how in just a few moments your life can change.  I model and act and just 5 days ago I got offered a spot with an agency in LA.  I recently was featured in Hannah Weston's 2010 look book and now I have an opportunity to travel to LA for some fashion shoots, red carpet events and so much more.  I also got a call from that show "ghost hunter" with a chance to possibily be the next investigator on there show.  I feel like I am living a dream!  It feels so unreal, yet, I have worked very hard to get here also.  Now that it is here, I am shocked!  I am so excited and scared at the same time.  I love what I do deeply, however, I am afraid to be popular.  Maybe you think I am crazy, but think about it.  Most celebrities go crazy because media doesn't know how to give them a break.  I do what I do because I love it and I am good at it, not because I want to be popular.  I have a dream and a talent, that doesn't make me any better than anyone else, so why treat me any different?  I don't want to be treated any different.  Am I going insane, or am I making perfect sense?  Will keep you posted. :)

Question for the day!!

Why do we spend so much time making decisions because we are too scared of the wrong choice, when in reality we don't know the answer till we do both?

My Story

If your on my blog you already know basic information about me.  It's pretty obvious that I have three kids and a home based business.  What you don't know is how I got here, so I wanted to share a little more about me.  Most people consider me to be a very caring, gentle, free spirit.  I am very optimistic, and I always have a smile on my face.   Seeing me now, you would never guess that my childhood was packed with many tears, much pain, fustration, and most of all failure.  As a child, I was quiet, but beneath the mask, I was scared and hurting all the time.  I was put into special educating and told I was stupid so many times I actually believed it.  I had a very low self-esteem, and absolutely no confidence in myself.  I was ignored and overlooked by everyone close to me.  It was so much easier to believe everyone then to put myself to the test and a part of me feared what I would find out about myself if  I did.  I had cancer, I was attacked, and had a family that didn't get along at all.  Now near I am 15-20 years later, I am a successful work from home mom, I am an actress, I am featured in Hannah Weston's 2010 Look book, and I am a professional business coach.  All of this is beyond my dreams and expectations of myself.  I don't ask myself anymore how this happens because I now know why it does, let me just say that over the last 2 years I have learned that all I needed to believe was in myself and  understand that I just had to change my attitude.  I did put myself to the test, and I found I was capable of just about anything.  I truely believe that the way you live is entirely up to you and your choices you make, how you overcome obstacles and how you deal. Don't be afraid, just try.  Don't be so ready to throw in the towel because things are not going your way.  So many people go to college for years and more then half don't even know what there major is.  Why be so willing to do that yet not be willing to do it for yourself, for your business, or others.  I have a degree and its called "Kelly's Law"  and it took me years to get it!
