California Dreamin'

I'm living my California dream! I moved to Huntington Beach January 1st. New year, new state, new me! I found a job in less than a month. I work for Duncan McIntosh Co. I write for The Log Newspaper and Editor & Publisher magazine. For the most part it's really cool! I love writing and getting paid for it. I have 5 amazing roommates 5 blocks from the beach. I look outside and feel so amazingly blessed. Could life get any better? I think not! I have so many beautiful reasons to be happy. My only regret is that I didn't move here sooner.

Rejection

I love this song and the lyrics describe how I'm feeling. Jordin Sparks - It Takes More Dead to me A page in history Again set free Ready Steady Heidi I've rejected plenty of guys over the years, so I guess it's only fair that it happens to me too... over. And over. And over again. And again. And again. Yes, that's right. 5 times in the past 5 months. I know there's a lesson to learn about this, but it doesn't make dating any easier. Reasons these 5 guys have given me or conclusions I've drawn are as follows: Guy #1: "I want action. I am exploring new lifestyles right now...

I can't live with that kind of guilt. You're great, but there may be someone even better around the corner so I can't be tied down." Guy #3: "I'm ...

Happiness Factor

I ran across this awesome article on 22 things happy people do differently. This is really excellent advice. I think I do a lot of them, but there's def some room for improvement. The original post is at http://successify.net/2012/10/31/22-things-happy-people-do-differently/. Here they are, along with my own thoughts: 1. Don't hold grudges. HK: This is way important. By making the conscious decison to not hold a grudge, a huge burden is automatically lifted off your shoulders. 2. Treat everyone with kindness. HK: Live the golden rule. You want people to be nice to you? That means you gotta be nice to them. Plus, it's what Jesus would do. He would be nice to the jerks and the people that use you. 3. See problems as challenges. HK: And more importantly, as opportunities. For personal growth and positive change. 4. Express gratitude for what they already have. HK: I find life goes pretty good when I take the time to thank God for all of the blessings and wonderful ...

Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room? I have. Have you ever had to fake a smile and pretend that you're happy when inside you're dying? I have. Have you ever been painfully misunderstood by everyone that knows you? I have. Have you ever been unfairly judged by someone else? I have. Have you ever been betrayed by your closest friends? I have. Have you ever longed for someone to love you back? I have. Have you ever put your heart on the line and had it trampled over? I have. Have you ever been totally used and taken advantage of? I have.

Have you ever had to learn your lesson the hard way? I have. Have you ever compromised your standards in order to make someone else hap...
