"I LOVE MYSELF WHEN I AM LAUGHING." Zora Neale Hurston
*Laughter is both a result of and a cause for loving ourselves.  It lightens the atmosphere around us and transforms us internally.  It can bring gentleness to a heavy time or increase the delight in a happy moment.  In laughter, we find greater contentment and a sense of hope and joy about ourselves, others, and the situation we’re in.

I am thankful for the gift of laughter.  I am pleased with myself and others when we share a good laugh.

I used to laugh much more a few years ago …as I do stay,.or try to keep positive - this has just made me realize that I need to let the stupid little things in life ( as we get older they seem to become monstrous) not bother me anymore.. and that is what I intend to do .. sending laughing smiles to you all - deb:)

"There’s much to be said for challenging fate instead of ducking behind it." Diana Trilling

"I CANNOT GIVE  YOU THE FORMULA FOR SUCCESS, BUT I CAN GIVE YOU THE THE FORMULA FOR FAILURE—WHICH IS: TRY TO PLEASE EVERYBODY."
Herbert Bayard Swope

"THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN LEARNING THAT ONE’S YOU HAVE LOVED HAVE LIED TO YOU SO HORRIFICALLY THROUGH THE YEARS-ESPECIALLY FAMILY!!!! MORN THE LOSS OF TRUST- AND REALIZE IT IS THEM THAT HAS THE INSECURITY AND PAIN WITHIN THEMSELVES AND DOES NOT WANT TO BE ALONE THEREFORE TRIES TO BRING OTHERS DOWN WITH THEM!  THEN UNDERSTAND,
MOVE FORWARD AND LIVE YOUR DREAMS THAT HAVE FAILED YOU BECAUSE OF SUCH PAIN.. AND THEN SUCCEED! AND KNOW AND BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL .. CAUSE YOU CAN!!  MOST OF ALL KNOW YOU ARE WORTH EVERY GOOD THAT YOU ARE…AND LET THOSE THAT HURT YOU STAY BURIED IN THE PAST. FOR IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE WHAT YOU DESERVE!!"  FOR YOU DO DESERVE YOUR LIFE! AND EVERYTHING IT HAS TO OFFER!!"
Debbie Bell

"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

"MOST PEOPLE ARE ABOUT AS HAPPY AS THEY MAKE THEIR MINDS OUT TO BE"

As though of you who know me this year has been quite a transitional - kaboom -lol- year for me- well to be serious - my back is very bad .. I have tried to hide it.  I do not want to go into detail .. however  when my books - yes plural for several books - will be published-you all will understand what my in- between lines mean.  And hopefully all of this tragedy will be over. Ok .. I know you all shake  your heads at this .. I would too if I did not have such a severe issue , the thing is this is real ,, and it is so debilitating more than I could have ever imagined.!!!  It is not like me to complain of such pain .. EVER!!!  I have never endured so much pain in my life -and I as a child have been used to pain .. which is why I am able to strive so hard in the gym and only can assume why I achieve what I do…just this pain now is a constant.. something that just does not go away.. docs give me med’s and I hate it .. I read what they do to you and it is not good … then I wonder .. will I ever ..EVER BE NORMAL .. WELL JUST PAINLESS ever again!!  the  worst thing is - is that fitness was - IS - my life - I am so very sorry that I can not be there for you all right now .. I just hope you all can understand between not being able to be myself and my dog very sick ( G-D forbid ) dying - I am down and out … as I suppose the saying is!!  Inbetween apts … till the end of nov.. life for me is ..well one of the most challenging times I have ever experienced!  
I am strong!  I know that … and as I pour my expressions out to you this eve.. I will tell you that I WILL SUCCEED!!! …
I will .. and I express my pain to those that are in the same situation because they too will succeed … only to have FAITH!! FAITH in themselves and faith in that they you will succeed beyond this drought!  
Yes I am feeling sorry for myself.. though it is okay to do so .. just it is not okay if I do not wipe my tears and know the sun will shine tomorrow!!  And I am not joking with that statement for those of you that might think this to be funny … this is real and those that have not felt their hopelessness yet .. do not take this seriously .. please save this blog .. for I will WILL be there for you when you need someone… as I know how it feels to need someone and not have that someone . as I know one day some one of you might feel the same .. I WILL BE HERE FOR YOU!!!   I will survive.. those that know .. one of my favorite songs by Gloria G.
In all seriousness … survival and happiness .. and knowing we are worth more than what we have been dealt .. that in itself will bring you to beyond the richest person in the world
I am here for you .. as I bless you all for you caring and wonderful comments
G-D bless
debbie with smiles!!!!

"You know someone said something to me today that made a HUGE impact … I have to chuckle to myself .. for I know in my heart and soul soooo sooo very much what this person said is something I tell my clients every day and know for myself as well - which is - (without going into explicit detail) generally we all have something inside of us that can for-fill our dreams … The mind is a very powerful tool!  It in itself is a being!  And if we listen to our instincts magic can happen!  And would if we just all realized that we have control of our own lives!  Instead of sitting and feeling sorry for yourself (please note that I am speaking of times where I have been and have come out of-like turning a light on…and mean no offense  to anyone!) get  up and know that your dream in your life that you wish to happen CAN AND WILL COME TRUE!  That is only if you access  that part of your soul - the positive part  of your soul …mind and body ..
Trust me .. no matter who you are .what you want to accomplish because of seeing someone else - we all have our own unique  talent  - and that is in which makes this world a beautiful and functional place:)
Many clockwork smiles … (think why I said clockwork …. bless you all ) deb

"life is what you make it .. rather what you believe in .. what your mind tells your brain what your capable of.  If you think
your life is doomed it shall be so.  If you believe your life has potential and strive for your dream .. I guarantee .. and there are not many - no there are no guarantees in life- however this is a guarantee .. if you follow your thoughts and intuition and know .. believe that they are true and can come true THEY WILL! Why do I know this- good question .. cause I have not only lived it and had the negative and positive .. I have seen it in so so so many people that have the ability to reach their dreams .. and can .. and sadly do not!  I hope you do!
have faith and believe in yourself your dreams .. no matter what ANYONE says .. no matter what any thing you read .. search in your soul .. and that click of happiness .. that click that tells your brain that it IS right .. FOLLOW IT! .. and that IS a guarantee that it WILL happen for you .. follow not only your heart .. your soul!
