How to live Succesfully and HAPPY

Recently, life's overwhelming situations were getting to me. 

Anybody Else?

Money, babysitting, work, school, groceries, dirty dishes, you name it and it was stressing me out. I tried talking to people about it, but advice from people who are not in your exact situation can be tough to handle.
 For everyone, not just myself ;)

Luckily, I came across a wonderful motivator. Roy Savery. His blog had all varieties of useful tips for everyday life that didn't sound generic and "obvious." That wasn't even the best motivation. The motivation came from his E-book. Now I understand that people are skeptical about E-books because most of the time it's just a scam! Not this though, he deserves his $17.95 :) I'm glad I bought it, because the Successful Living Handbook made my stress level go down 10 fold.

It's not just a read, It's an experience

There are area's for you to jot down notes about  how you feel personally about the subject. For example, in the chapter take time to be healthy I was able to write down all the things I didn't like about my health. I've been through a fluctuating weight cycle which left my self esteem feeling down. Being able to write about how I felt without out having someones opinion there felt pretty good.
 Don't get me wrong people's opinions are great, but they are just that opinions.

Only you truly know yourself. 

There are survey's in every chapter to evaluate yourself. My favorite was the Health survey. Here it is so you can just read over it and think about each question. I bet you will start getting an answer that you might or might not want to hear as your reading it. The great thing about this handbook is that the answers you are looking for, are coming for you. They are not coming as an opinion from someone who might light a flame to your insecurities.

There was also a chapter on Self Image. The first tip was

Make up and dress up. The way you look on the outside has a

lot to do with what is going on inside. Look your best and feel

your best

I avoided fixing myself up for so long simply because I decided I was too busy. Making that choice only left me depressed and feeling ugly. 

Learn from successful failures - people who have kept on

trying.

This was a great tip. I've heard the saying "learn from other people's mistakes" but this was a positive twist I didn't expect. I loved it. The book is written to give you confidence and optimism. Not to point out your obvious mistakes that you already feel horrible about.

It's never too late to change your perspective on yourself. It's feels so good to let go of unanswered questions that you don't need the answer to right away. And it feels even better to answer your own questions. Reading Roy Savery's Successful Living Handbook gave me a positive outlook on myself and my surroundings. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to improve their success in their life!

Petaluma Butter and Eggs Day

I was able to stroll by the Petaluma Butter and Eggs day parade and catch a few of the floats before I had to head out. Here are some pictures that I took so you guys can take a look and see if I captured any of you! :)

Next year I am going to take my time and look at all the floats with my girl and take lots more pictures!
Regardless of the short time I spent, the parade was really fun AND SO POPULAR. It is basically the biggest event for Petaluma other than American Graffiti. I spoke to Paolo one of the hombres from Tres Hombres and he said that Butter and Eggs day was the 2nd busiest day of the year. Cinco de Mayo being the first. Which doesn't surprise me because they have a gorgeous restaurant (their review coming soon!).

Enjoy the pictures :)

Taking the bus to work

I miss you camera 

The thing that sucks about not having a car is not being able to go places at the blink of an eye. 

I can't wait to have a car to call our own. Then I'll be able to make another Review with some pictures :(

Anywho I thought I'd catch all of you up on that manicure I got a little while ago. 

It still looks perfect, I promise when I get my camera back I will take a picture and it probably still will look perfect :)

In case you didn't read my review!

So today I didn't do a lot of walking. I took the Golden Gate Bus to work which was quick, but it does cost more than the Sonoma County transit bus. I've never had a "bad" experience on the GG. Except a lady did tell me to not talk on my cell phone. It was like 1pm .... not 1am.... but that's ok. I got off the phone and played my cell phone game. 

Golden Gate: Rohnert Park to Petaluma  

$3.65 Adult  $1.80 Student

Sonoma County: Rohnert Park to Petaluma 

$1.80 Adult  $1.55 Student

Both of them are pretty chill. I normally take the number 48 on the Sonoma County transit because it is Faster than the 44 (by a good 25minutes usually). There are less weird people on the 48 too. I'm not sure how to explain it ... But that's the way it goes. I take the 48 to work or to school. Taking the bus really is not so bad it's just a hassle when you have to walk 25minutes to get to the bus stop in the first place XD.

My legs kick ass though! That means I get a good 40minutes of fast paced walking each time I need to take bus as a roundtrip. Hell Yes! 

Here are some helpful tips if you take the bus

If you're going to take the bus you need

• Change 
• for yourself or if someone needs change it's always nice to have some extra! "Got change to break a $1" Karma always pays ya back.
• Umbrella 
• you never know knowadays even though its summer haha, I had to walk to work in the rain today lol
• Book
• Magazine works too :) 
• A cellphone game
• Tetris ftw
• Ipod
• music helps drown out weird conversations. 

So I guess I sorta reviewed the bus system hehe :)
