Life is full of joy

by

Finding the joy in life is really the main goal. I make lists of goals and as soon as I achieve one, soon I move on to a bigger and better goal. The truth is I want to appreciate my accomplishments and bask in the glow of success. Life is full of love and joy and I am grateful for every moment.

Have a nice week 🙂

Being a multipotentialite in NOLA

by

Hi there,

Recently Emilie Wapnik gave a TED talk about being a mutlipotentialite. I deeply loved the video and realized I certainly have 95% of the traits of a multipotentialite. I am from New Orleans, which is a gumbo of diverse cultures and history. Everyone here is colorful and kind and have many interests, so it wasn’t until my late 30’s when i noticed I never followed the society norms. When my friends go to Jazz Fest or Mardi Gras, I can take it or leave it. I usually get invited to concerts and events, so I love crowds and being a social butterfly, but I don’t need attention to feel self love. I was in mortgage industry out of college and enjoyed helping people get financing for homes. I thought that was my calling to help people buy their dream homes and was satisfied for about 7years. When the crash happened in 2008 I saw a blessing to change careers and reinvent myself. Whenever a huge change comes in my life I always say, Thank God, now I can learn something new. Emilie spoke about getting bored quickly once a talent is mastered, which I can relate too.

If you learn quickly and feel like you enjoy changing careers, more than once and have many creative pursuits, than you may also be ONE OF US 🙂

Please email me any thoughts or questions and google TED talk Emilie Wapnik or multipotentialite. Thanks and Happy Mardi Gras week–If your in NOLA,

Sincerely, Mary

A brand new year of Love

by

Enjoying life and planning for a successful new year is as easy as loving yourself. Spending quality loving time with your kids keeps life more fun. Whether your in the baby years, kid years or teen years, have at least 1 board game night a week with them. Turn off the cell phones by 7pm and enjoy dinner with the family talking about your day. This will give them healthy family loving habits that will help them all their lives.

I send joy to everyone.

Swaddling helps the baby feel safe

by

Swaddling is the best way to get any baby to sleep through the night. Especially if you have twins or multiples or just want a good night’s sleep, a loosely swaddled baby will sleep like angel. Rest well and enjoy more tips when u read The Baby Years. Thank you.
