One Day...

 By: Connie J..., August 24, 2024

How often to you find yourself saying this phrase? It can be understood in so many different ways:

- it can be hopeful...

- it can be threatening...

- it can be limiting...

 - it can be completely innocent...

It can even be all of these, and more, at one time.

It's how you CHOOSE to utilize this phrase, that can make all the difference. Yes, I said choose - there are very few absolutes in life; but until you're no longer living, you can make choices for yourself. Even if it starts with a small spark inside you, at first.

One of my MANY "One Days..." was to make it to New York City, to see the WTC Memorial. I achieved it - it took me 16 years, to get there, and I only needed to be there an hour and a half; but I made my "One Day..." happen.

Another, was to help people with what I've learned about the healing process - though I originally thought I would be a Counselor, here I am. You're reading some of MY "One Day...".

Think of a time YOU said, "One day, I will ______." Have you done anything towards it? What steps are available to make YOUR "One Day..." a reality? I encourage you to really put some thought into this. Would LOVE to hear some of your ideas, comments, etc.

Thank you, and have a good day, and be safe... #ENDtheSILENCEofVIOLENCE #dviseverywhere #domesticviolence #growin2024 #awareness #protectyourself #besafe #utilize #youroptions 

*October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Please share this post, no matter what month it is, to help get the word out. The Victim has to make the choice - but, "What If..." they read something you sent them, and it just "clicks"?

*I would love the opportunity to share YOUR ideas in a Blog post. Please send them to Connie J... -

Is it real - or just your imagination playing tricks on you??! I have come to realize, in MANY of life's situations, that the one putting the MOST pressure on me, IS ME!!! Though, when questioned, my response is usually, "Well, THEY said...", etc. However, realistically - who IS "THEY"??! Often, it's the old tapes replaying in my head, from situations gone bad in the past - and NOT wanting to feel that sting, again. While we ARE supposed to learn from the past, we are ALSO supposed to grow from it. Not "pinball" our way through life - bouncing from trigger to trigger - changing directions, every time. In the consistent choices we make, each time we bounce off that trigger, we are able to choose where we want to go - IT IS A LEARNED RESPONSE, and it takes time - but if you never start, you'll never learn. The ONLY way to remove the pressures you feel, is the choices you make when they arise. Take it from a "Recovering Pressure Cooker"... We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

"Isn't it funny how often I point fingers, before reflecting on my own behavior?" (Sam Demma) This quote made me think of my Father - because this was beyond his realm of thought. He could blame ANY problem he had in his life, on ANYONE but himself. Every Father's Day. I always feel "some-kinda-way" because of the type of relationship I had with him, or didn't. With the choices I have made in the second half of my life - based on Honesty, Integrity, Responsibility, Commitment, Truth and Accountability - my life has been different. (I'm far from claiming perfection, here.) That's something he DID teach me - what NOT to do; and ANY time I get too focused on choices other people are making, I get a snap back into reality - keep in your own lane. That is all you can, and should WANT to control. Can you relate to this? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.
