What's The Point Of Easter?

What's the point of Easter? 

I'm an adult now so why should I still honor Easter? I don't have a child or lots of children around. Colorfully dipped eggs, giant white bunnies, deadly egg hunts, wrapped easter baskets_none of that appeals to me anymore (unless there's $20 in each egg). I don't see the point in hassling around with cheesy bright decorations of pink eggs, smiling rabbits, and all that other Easter galore. So what's the point if Easter only appeals to children? 

A few years ago a revelation hit me, literally. It was close to Easter, and I was jogging about, questioning myself about the point of such a ridiculous cheesy holiday. Then it hit me. Literally. A giant mass of white goo (we won't talk about it) hit me right on the forehead! It was as if the heavens opened up and and smacked me. 

In that moment of pure embarrassment and disgust, God spoke to me. What He had to say, I never forgot. He told me, in simple language, that Easter wasn't for me, or for children. It was for Jesus. 

It's simply Jesus. The simplicity and beauty of His sacrifice and resurrection to reach us, speak to us, and save us. 

Eggs, baskets, bunnies, even the name Easter have NOTHING to do with the reason for our Resurrection Sunday. It's the pure love of God. His desire for us for oneness with Him. He sent His son Jesus to sacrifice himself so the veil would be torn. Nothing can now separate us from our Creator, our Universe, our God. That is the reason for the season. 

Layering 101: How To Layer Necklaces Like A Pro

Layering 101: How To Layer Necklaces Like a Pro 3/19/2017 0 Comments   ​ If you are an accessory kind of gal then you will be just as ecstatic about this spring trend as I am. I mean who wouldn’t! Layered necklaces, like, come on! Not only is it original but it’s super creative and fun to wear. It takes your average necklaces to an out of this galaxy level. Now I bet you are wondering (I sure was!) how in the world do I wear layered necklaces! Do I buy individual necklaces, do I buy them in a set, how do I layer them, how can I wear it? Ladies, calm down, I will answer all these questions for you right here in three little steps. Step 1: First necklace This is probably the simplest of the steps. All you need is to first put on one simple, dainty necklace. Shorter the better. Even a choker would work. You can use any type of metal or color. It's all about your taste. I prefer to use a gold bar necklace for my first necklace. Step 2: Second necklace Now it's time for the second necklace. All you need is to find another necklace, preferably one that compliments the first, that is an inch or two longer than the first necklace. I will use a colorful druzy necklace for a pop of color and elegance. Again, your second necklace can be any color or metal, as long as it is spaced out well and compliments the first. Step 3: Third necklace They say three times is the charm, and I whole heartily agree. The third necklace should be even longer than the second necklace. Again, think of spacing. Now I am going to use a stone necklace for my third. It compliments the first two very well. You can play around and use heavy stone necklaces or still keep to the simple dainty chains. There you have it! The fun thing about layering is there are no rules. Layer chunky, dainty, pearls, rhinestones, or whatever! Play around and have fun.  Just know how to space it well, and it's best to wear a low V-neckline or off shoulder top to accentuate the neck and bring attention to your necklaces. Not a fan of showing off your shoulders or too much skin, then a high mock neck top or scoop neckline would even work.   Want another secret on how to layer necklaces super easy? Buy them altogether. That's right! You can actually buy necklaces that are already layered together. Easy right Overall, have fun and you do you!

Do You Truly Love Yourself?

Do you love yourself? I mean do you TRULY love yourself? It’s easy to say yes, but when you start to really think about it do you value and respect yourself the way you deserve to be respected and valued?

If you answer no then be proud! 

Say what! 

Yeah be proud because it takes real guts to admit you don’t love yourself the way you should. In fact, admitting the hard truth to yourself is the first step in overcoming a problem, and not loving yourself is a problem. The next big question is how do you know you aren’t denying the truth. 

Well ask yourself these questions. Do you apologize for every little thing you do, feel guilty when you do something for yourself, think about yourself in a negative manner, and let others speak over you and push you around? 

You don’t have to answer these out loud, but truly reflect on your behavior and thought process about yourself. If you find it’s in an negative manner then you have a problem.

What do you do now? Well, now you turn your thought process and behavior around to reflect that of true love. 

It’s time to fall in love again but with yourself! 

Why? Because you are the perfect existence of everything that has ever been created. Nothing is random or coincidental. You exist because you were meant to exist! If that doesn’t blow your mind then I don’t know what will! 

You deserve all that is good and worthy because you are worthy. It doesn’t matter if you are working fast food, living in the slums, or even sleeping in a mansion. You are you. Perfect, unique, one of a kind, and lovable. 

When falling in love with yourself you need to remind yourself of this; people are cruel.  But you are NOT the reason they are cruel. People will hate you, spread ugly rumors about you, spit on you, think negatively of you, and treat you terribly. But, it’s not your fault the way they treat you. They hate you because of their OWN inner demons.  Knowing this, you need to let the ugliness of other people’s demons not get you down. 

Regardless of how people treat or think of you, you are AMAZING. You are worth all opportunities and love.
