What a great statement from Hemsworth

Well life has taken some very weird turns lately but I am managing as well as I can. I love the friends I have and couldn’t ask for any one better. You know who you are. My mental health has also taken some turns but again thanks to my support system I am pushing along. I’ve gotten my Bambi tattoo and I am in love with it. It’s a daily reminder to remain some what innocent and down to my sense of knowledge.

 While looking into spirit animals and looking into myself and learning more about myself I came to find about totems and spirit animals. A spirit totem or animal should be a representation of yourself. My results after taking multiple tests were the same results over and over. Being a Gemini(known for having two personalities; The twin) it was not surprising to have two animals. My results were the Deer and the Crow. Each are listed as a little insight.

The Deer: You are highly sensitive and have a strong intuition. You have the power to deal with challenges with grace. You master the art of being both determined and gentle in your approach. You have  the ability to be vigilant, move quickly, and trust your instincts to get out the trickiest situations.

   Meanings associated: Gentleness, Ability to move through life and obstacles with grace, Being in touch with inner child, innocence, Being sensitive and intuitive, Vigilance, ability to change directions quickly, Magical ability to regenerate, being in touch with life’s mysteries

The Crow: Associated with life’s mysteries , the Crow provides insight and means of supporting intentions.  Crows are commonly associated with magic and the power to manipulate physical appearances, crows are common animals that we can find all around the globe. As such, they are a reminder that magic is everywhere.

Meanings associated: Life’s magic, Destiny, personal transformation, intelligence, higher perspective, insight, fearlessness, determination.

 I feel this makes perfect sense for me. I feel I am always between two worlds(again being Gemini). The Crow and Deer balance each other and allow me to go back and forth. This picture sums it up, the dark and light colors coexisting. I am sensitive to the things around me and even with my dark past I can look at others and life with light and grace. I can have them balanced and have a complete life.

The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial and impersonal as the law of gravity is.

The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don’t want than what they do want.

The Secret

[hellomoonlitmind]

5/5/15

I can’t begin to truly describe how much my life has changed in a few months. Once I stopped attending church and a few weeks after I began to notice a change in myself, a positive one. I began to judge others less and myself. Most recently I began reading The Secret, a book about positive living and how positive versus negative thoughts can impact your life. For a few weeks now I have been using The Secret and my life has been amazing. From friendships to my life at work. Money is good and my clients(I groom dogs) don’t fight me as much, not to mention I am getting along with my coworkers. I've been mediating on a regular basis and my mind has never been clearer. I am so excited for what the universe has in store for me.

Promise’s Story

TRIGGER WARNING: Please see Disclaimer before continuing.

I guess I should start by giving a background about myself. I was born and raised in Huntington Beach,California, my family was decent but I suppose it would be considered slightly dysfunctional, my parents fought and argued often. My family is religious and is part of the Mormon(LDS) church. Thats my childhood in a nutshell. WIth my parents arguing frequently, and although I wasn’t always the reasoning for the arguments my mind would often make me think I was. This is where my starting point for my struggles began, at least thats where I have been able to really pin-point the start of it all.

This is my story

[hellomoonlitmind]

The past couple days have really been increasingly well. I’ve been hanging out with my best friend and a member of my support circle. Work life is getting better too, I am getting along with my manager and I’m actually happy to show up and work again. It seems life is looking up and I am welcoming it.

[hellomoonlitmind]

Think of what we are doing, This planet is ours and we are all responsible for how we leave it

[berksome]

a happy couple might’ve gotten married today 

someone might’ve kissed their best friend and realized they are gay today

someone might’ve found out they were officially cancer free today

someone might’ve finally finished their debut novel today 

lots of interesting things might’ve happening today 

we should celebrate

Beautiful

[hellomoonlitmind]

So things weren’t great!  I went too great. I went to a concert on Tuesday evening and had THE WORST anxiety attack. It was so bad I actually got sick I am back on track now and feeling okay.

HEALTH

Guys I am very excited right now. I haven’t currently weighed myself, but as of this week I am no longer eating fast food or drinking soda. I’ve had both of these for years, I know its going to be hard but so worth it.

I cannot express how true this picture is, these words do hurt, and by throwing them constantly at someone will cause them to hurt themselves, I was a victim and still am battling this today. Stay strong! None of these words should be used! So many people are called these and worse, and they feel their only escape is death, suicide.  I don’t want to sound prideful but more of accomplished in that I am proud to say I have made it over a year with out this!

Heather Moss Interview

I used to run a blog here before and I did interviews with people to get stories from others! This  was an interview I did with my AZ homegirl Heather Moss. This was done before we met and I have seen her since! I want to send out a congratulations to her and her family on her new joy that will be joining the family!

____________________________________________________________________________________

Heather Moss Interview

That’s right! We have Heather Moss, So happy to have her on the blog!

For those who don’t know Heather, she is a mom, a business owner, a model and a mentor to women everywhere! Let’s get this interview on!

Promise(Me): As always our first question is, Were you ever bullied? If you were, would you mind sharing your story?

Heather: I was never bullied…. I have never really put up with anyone’s crap. I was praised at my high school for being willing to defend those who couldn’t defend themselves. I broke up a lot of fights and shut down the bullshit. I invited those sitting alone at lunch to sit with me. I don’t care about what is the popular decision and I side with no one. My brothers went through a lot after I had graduated so I would show back up from time to time to protect them and let the kids know that my presence was still strong even if I wasn’t there every day. My daughter was bullied in 6th grade and I damn near came unglued. Its so much different being there in the moment and then being a mother and watching my child go through it. It hurts so much more because I can’t protect here like I did my brother’s so I have to hold her tight and coach her. She is a very strong individual.

Promise: Where were you when I was in High School?! I wish I had someone who would have stopped the bullies. What inspired you to become an idol to others? Where your kids motivation or did you just want to prove people wrong?

Heather: I don’t want to be famous, I didn’t set out to be popular and be loved or admired. I set out to join the ranks with the best in the world and leave an imprint in an industry that I love. I want young girls, women and mother’s to go after their dreams every single day and not conform to what you “should” do with your life. I am not making as much as I would have been making if I finished law school….. but I am having way more fun. And at the end of the day I can provide an amazing life for my children and travel the world and meet people who are excited to meet me. That is such an honor.

Promise: Well you might not have set out to be, but i’d say you have become just that! I admire you and the way you live life and what you stand for. I know many more ,along with myself , look to you as a mentor. How do you take the negative criticism and turn it positive?

Heather: I can take an insult just as well as a compliment. That is just the name of the game. I am not everyone’s favorite cup of tea but that’s why there are so many different flavors.

Promise: That’s such a good way to put it! So simple and such a true statement. Do you have an regrets or do you see your past as it was meant to be?

Heather: Not at all!!!!!!!! Those days were necessary!!! Necessary for growth, opportunity, change, and chance. So as you bring in the new year, remember that the 1st of January is just another tomorrow. Always take chances, smile when your sad, walk away when you have to and always embrace what once was because it created the strength you walk with everyday. Good or bad you don’t get a second chance at TODAY!

Promise: Not going to lie, I got a smile on my face! It’s so true, people make such a huge deal of a new year..don’t get me wrong..New Year Resolutions are good but it is just another tomorrow. What’s your favorite band or genre of music?

Heather: EVERYTHING I am always in the mood for music

Promise: A girl after my own heart! It’s a rare occurrence to find me not listening to music. What was/is your biggest challenge in life?

Heather: Being a better person, friend, wife and mother than the one I was yesterday. Not getting consumed in the things I can’t control and focusing on all the joys my journey has to offer and letting go of what once was.

Promise: What was/is your greatest milestone?

Heather: Today…. I always have something in the works and it gets bigger and better everyday. All my accomplishments have been milestones and I am so honored for everyone of them.

Promise: Well I can say I haven’t gotten that answer before..but when I think about it, it’s probably one of the truest answers for the question. What’s your go-to drink?

Heather: Rockstar or Bud Light I am a sucker for those.

Promise:  You and your husband Bobby own Timeless Art Tattoo, what made you two decide to open your own shop?

Heather: He owned a shop before we met. We wanted an exclusive all custom shop that had an amazing reputation. We have owned 4 shops all at once but we shut them down to focus on our pride and joy Timeless Art and travel the world!

E2BH: Out of all your tattoos, if you had to choose one.. Which would be your favorite? Why?

Heather: My right sleeve. Its about my kids, my marriage, my family and how precious our time is.

E2BH: I love all tattoos, but ones with special meanings are always my favorites.

3/27/15: Well I guess you could say I’ve been doing better. All my coworkers have noticed how my mood while working is better and that I am happier. I know my moods and mind go back and forth but this has been a really good week for me. My moods have been great , I have tried to make it a point to meditate at least once a day or at least take a few minutes when I notice I go down to relax and remind myself what to do. I am incredibly grateful for my support system! 

[hellomoonlitmind]

For me, Disney has always been a light. From watching Disney movies to learning to draw Disney characters( I have never gone to art classes or been taught in a formal manner, it is a talent I got from my dad and in my later teen years to now I have really been pushing) to singing the songs. For some reason these characters and movies have always been able to put a smile on my face. I am an Annual Passholder and go to the parks frequently, it is always able to clear my mind. Well off to the parks!

Heather Marie's Story (Founder)

TRIGGER WARNING: Please see Disclaimer before continuing.

Some of you might be wondering why I chose the name don’t bleed. breathe. for this blog. The easiest way to explain it is that it’s something I’ve told myself over and over again for a few years now. After I stopped using self-harm as a coping mechanism, I had a hard time parting with the release that it gave me. So when it came time to focus on releasing that pain in a more positive manner, I often reminded myself to breathe. don’t bleed. breathe.
