I was obsessed with the dollar amount ending in an even number or a rounded number at the gas pump. We waste so much power and energy on useless activities...

It's bout to be the longest night...

Even if you do THE BEST you can do and no matter how GREAT you do it... you will find criticism, pressure, and opposition. Facing this truth makes things a bit easier. #elaynaquotes

Like a good Dominican, I'm a "big" baseball fan! Alex Rodriguez, one of our many baseball players, once said: "Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it you don't have a chance." This week I've been working working working non-stop, and enjoying "my sweat"... WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Why didn’t you just leave? This is such a harmful question for those of us who have survived domestic violence. "Just" minimizes the barriers we face. Leaving is anything but a simple choice, especially for someone with #ACEs, #trauma, or #PTSD. Leaving isn't an event; it's a hard, painful, and even dangerous process. I can relate to this quote I heard: "I was drowning and they criticized the way I swam," and I don't even know how to swim!!! What barriers can you add to my list? #DVAM

Jesus called out hypocrites. I don't want to be around them... I think I would rather quit. Give up. #collegemom #collegestudent #collegelife

9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. (Eccl. 4)

What does this #quote by Thomas Merton mean TO YOU? "Self-conquest is really self-surrender. Yet before we can surrender ourselves we must become ourselves. For no one can give up what he does not possess."

Dreams Come TRUE for those who dream for those who have the faith for those who act on their faith for those who keep the faith strong... DARE to DREAM. ~ Elayna #quote

October 19 marks Domestic Violence Survivors' Day during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (#DVAM), and I want to spread this idea: THE BEST FAMILY is a SAFE FAMILY. **** El 19 de octubre se conmemora el Día de los Sobrevivientes de la Violencia Doméstica, en el marco del Mes Nacional de Concientización sobre la Violencia Doméstica, y quiero difundir esta idea: LA MEJOR FAMILIA es una FAMILIA SEGURA.

"I believe that you're great, that there's something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life, regardless of how young or how old you think you might be, the moment you begin to think properly, this something that is within you, this power within you that's greater than the world, it will begin to emerge. It will take over your life. It will feed you, it will clothe you, it will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence. If you let it! Now that is what I know for sure." ~ Michael Bernard Beckwith

This is just the message I needed today. Thank you, St. Francis of Assisi! "No one is to be called an enemy; all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves." #quote

"Learn to live with self and you will learn to live with others." ~ Edgar Cayce #quote

Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~Howard Thurman #quote

Remembering this C.S. Lewis quote helped me: “Crying is all right in its own way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.” I smile to know that while I am quite a CRIer, I'm still quite a Doer. #quote

I've always heard that "Love Hurts"... but love doesn't hurt; love is a magical feeling that brings pure JOY and Fulfillment. #elaynaquotes

Some philosophies say "when you reject all help you are free"... Some say, "Ask, and you shall receive"... Others say "The purpose of our existence is to help others" What's your "HELPING" and "ASKING FOR HELP" philosophy?

It’s not their job to give you permission to be who you are, but it’s also not your job to make them feel better about it. #elaynaquotes

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.--Bernice Johnson Reagon #quote
