Generating the Feeling of Wealth
I tell you what, this has been my only struggle with Law of Attraction. How do you generate a feeling of wealth when you've only got $4 in you bank account? Yeah, yeah, gratitude, I know. Being grateful for what you have. I don't mean to be a complainer, but I want more. That's just the facts. I had a lot more earlier on in my life, although it never truly came from me. Most of what I had and experienced came from other people. My mom and dad, my friends, my exes, they all loved my company so much that they enjoyed seeing me receive. I was young, vibrant, funny, and attractive. I really was blessed and couldn't see it right in front of my own eyes. I took it all for granted.

How I Learned to Love Myself. Top Story - January 2018.
It wasn’t long ago that I would get invited out with my friends, and I felt that I had nothing to wear that made me... “beautiful.” I would cancel my plans, and instead cry staring into the mirror absolutely disgusted with everything I was. Have you ever been to a Hollywood party? Maybe there’s a better suited question. Have you ever watched an episode of The Hills? Imagine walking into the room of a Teen Vogue summer party feeling like you have UGLY COW written across your forehead, and everyone reads it as they pass you. That was me. That was how I felt. All. The. Time.

How To Be Perfect
I think I was 13 when I finally started noticing the clumpy, black mascara and smudged, sparkly eye shadow my friends would spend an hour putting on before eighth grade homeroom. I was so jealous of them. I didn't have any of my own make up, and all my mom had were several old Cover Girl eyeshadows, a blue eyeliner pencil from 1987, and a goopy, bubblegum colored, CVS brand lipstick. She was a total tom boy growing up (*GASP* how dare I use that phrase), and never got the make up or fashion memo.

The "Just Be" Campaign
As I kid I cried and pleaded to get certain things to fit in and my family refused. They wanted my brother and I to be "proper": we wore London Fog coats in the winter and catalogue garments all through the school year that no other kid was wearing because there was no way in hell we were going to run around looking like the hood-rat kids in our neighborhood.

5 Ways to Take Control of Your Life
Life is the only "thing" that us living beings truly have. Each have always had it and will continue to possess it until the day that we no longer do. Now that being said, your life is what you make it. Cliché to say, I know, but it's very true. Almost everyone finds it hard to get a firm grasp on the impending struggles that life seems to constantly throw at us each and every day. So much that it begins to feel like a never ending cycle that cannot be broken no matter what we do or how hard we try. We get so stuck looking at life and all of its ups and downs with one point of view or perspective, and because of that we aren't opening up all of the closed doors that await us. Frankly, because of our one perspective, we can't see those doors or even find the strength, courage or knowledge to know that they even exist.

Stop Procrastinating for Good
How many times have you told yourself you are going to do something and you always procrastinate, you never do it, time goes by, you have excuses. Mainly that is going to take a lot of time, effort and the usual “I’ll do it tomorrow.” Eventually, time goes by and when you look back, you realize you could have finished by now, or at least made some progress, but you are still in 0%, not even started. Does that sound familiar? 20% of the population identifies as chronic procrastinators. Don't be that statistic.

Personal Freedom
Despite what some people may think, personal freedom isn’t automatic. It’s something that must be achieved for oneself. This is done in different ways. For example, if someone does what they think is right, despite what everyone else tells them, that person has achieved personal freedom. Also, when someone speaks their mind about something that is difficult for them to talk about, that person has achieved personal freedom as well. Even when someone simply becomes more confident in themselves, they too achieve this freedom.

Why You Should Wake up Early
Some of you may be reading this saying to yourself, "Yeah right," "Next," "This girl's crazy." Yeah, yeah, I get it. I hear it enough from my own friends. But really, think about it, and this isn't just the farmer in me saying it—if you wake up early every morning, you're going to feel better about yourself.

Why Am I Here?
Why am I here? That is the question. I honestly don't know. I don't know what life is. I've only been here for nearly 20 years and I still don't know the true meaning of why am I here. Ever since I was here, I've gone through many challenges. I don't know what life takes me nor I know what to do with my life. I have many things to go for, but nothing seems to work out for me.
