HANDBOOK FOR 2010

Hello Readers,

Happy New Year! Yes, I know I'm a bit late for the greeting; I realized I haven't posted anything since my year end review, so here I am.

Below was an email chain I recieved from a friend, a Reina to be exact and I thought, "how perfect for this to be my first post for 2010".

So, here I am reposting this; I want to preface on what you're about to read.

This is a bucket lost if you will, of how you could, actually... no, Ima be bold and say "SHOULD" go into 2010 thinking:

Some of the items we never even think twice about and then there some that we dont even think about, period.

Enjoy it my Readers especially mis Reinas, this is the year of the Reina Movement 2010.

This is the year we're taking back who we are and leashing out who we're meant to be!!!

Be Inspired and Be Inspiring!

Last but not the least:



40. Have the upmost respect for one another, don't assume people will do things for you because its you.


Somewhere through the generations, common courtesy went out the window, its up to us to retrieve it and instill it in the next generation. (Oh, and By the way...the last one is a HUGE pet peeve of mine!!!....HUGE!)

So there you have it...I've equipped you with your Handbook for 2010, its up to you to implement it.

I'm going to share some food for thought that I read from "The Maxwell Daily Reader by John Maxwell"

"Focus on the things you can do something about today"

This hit home for me...I was that person that was ALWAYS thinking about the tomorrows, next weeks, next year and 10 years from now and missed out on alot of todays. Live in your moment, take it in and focus on WHAT you really can do about it today. The saying is so true, "No one is ever promised tomorrow" so, please my readers, "Live today!!"
