IS YOUR SOUL TIGHT?
Laughter may seem like it's just for fun, but in reality, it's a serious matter. It has the power to heal, to connect us with others, and to bring light to even the darkest of situations. So let us never underestimate the importance of laughter, for it is a gift that can bring joy to both ourselves and those around us.

Life is endlessly unpredictable, and no matter how much we invest in the people around us, they may not always reciprocate in the ways we hope or expect. Despite this, I remain committed to pouring my energy into others and giving them the best of me, even when I don't receive the same in return.
It's not always easy to maintain this level of generosity. When you feel as though everyone around you is taking advantage of your kindness or not giving enough back, it's tempting to withdraw or become resentful. However, I choose to rise above these feelings and continue to give as much as I can.
There's a certain joy that comes from seeing the impact of your kindness on someone else's life. Even if they don't express gratitude or seem to take you for granted, knowing that you've made a positive difference can be incredibly fulfilling. I believe that we are called to serve others with a selfless heart, regardless of whether that service is returned.
Of course, this doesn't mean that we should allow ourselves to be continuously taken advantage of or mistreated. It's essential to set boundaries and maintain healthy relationships, even if it means stepping back from people who only drain us. However, I firmly believe that even in challenging relationships, there's always room to give from a compassionate and giving heart.
In a world that can be harsh and cruel, I choose to be a beacon of light and love. It may not always be easy, but I know that by giving my best to the people around me, I can create a ripple effect that will be felt far beyond my immediate sphere of influence. So even when I don't get the same in return, I will continue to pour myself into the people in my life, trusting that my generosity will be felt and appreciated in ways beyond my understanding.

There are many ways to start your day effectively, but what works best for one person may not necessarily work for another. Here are five common practices that people often find helpful in starting their day on a positive note:
1. Practicing gratitude: Before getting out of bed, take a moment to reflect on something you're grateful for. This can help set a positive tone for the rest of the day.
2. Moving your body: Whether you prefer going for a morning walk or doing a quick yoga practice, starting your day with some physical activity can help energize you and set the tone for a productive day.
3. Eating a nutritious breakfast: Eating a healthy breakfast can help provide the energy you need to tackle whatever the day throws your way.
4. Meditating or practicing mindfulness: Taking a few minutes to meditate or practice mindfulness can help calm your mind and set a positive intention for the day.
5. Starting with a positive mindset: Instead of immediately checking your email or social media, start your day by focusing on positive affirmations or thinking about your goals for the day. This can help set a positive tone for the rest of the day.

Being quiet doesn't mean I have nothing to say.
It doesn't mean my opinion isn't important. Sometimes it means I'm in disagreement and don't want to rock the boat by offering an opinion that's different than yours.
Sometimes I'm confused but intrigued enough to want to understand the message you're trying to convey.
Sometimes I've lost all respect for you because of something you said.
And sometimes I don't even care, and will try to change the subject-

A life without problems may be ideal, but a life without adversity would be incomplete. So rather than running from our struggles, let us face them with courage and conviction, knowing that it is through overcoming challenges that we can truly grow and thrive.

Love is a complex emotion that can be difficult to define. For many, love is seen as a feeling, something that comes and goes depending on circumstances. However, what if we looked at love as a verb instead? Something that requires action and effort, rather just a fleeting feeling? In today's post, I'll explore what it means to see love as a verb and the benefits it can bring.
When we view love as a verb, it becomes an intentional act of giving, offering support, and demonstrating affection to those we care about. It becomes an understanding that love isn't something you just feel, but something you do.

Moreover, seeing love as a verb also means that we open up our minds and hearts to all possible ways in which love can be expressed. It could be spending quality time together, cooking meals for your partner, thoughtful gestures like leaving little love notes, doing something special for someone, an unexpected hug, or simply making an effort to be present and attentive when they are speaking.
Lastly, it is important for us to remind one another that love isn't always easy to put into action, and it takes effort and persistence to maintain. The good news is that there is no scarcity of love to go around. We can put in effort with our romantic partners, family members, friends, colleagues, and pets. Love is a renewable resource, and each time we approach it as a verb, we prove that we can never truly run out of it, nor the affection that comes with it.
In conclusion, seeing love as a verb is transformative and can bring positive change to our lives and relationships. By taking intentional action, expressing affection, and showing support, we can improve our mental and physical health, as well as our connections with others. Love is something we give and receive; to experience it at its fullest, we must begin by giving it.

In July I will see one of my biological sisters and will meet Alex Chaves, our biological father- both for the first time in my life,
And between me, you, and God,
My 4 main goals in life, left:
I've taken the advice of everyone who has offered advice.
I'm open to anything anyone (who is married) has to offer regarding where to go and what to do.
I'm thinking about asking friends how they met their soulmates.
