When You Die Will You Have Any Regrets? Will you die happy?

Blessings everyone!

Many times we are so busy rushing through life but we forget to really LIVE life. We are so busy making money, running errands, taking care of business that we forget about the things that really matter. Things like our true happiness and the happiness of others.


I came across this great article by Addicted to Success and had to share it with you all! It is such an eye opener and made me rethink my life and habits. Not like I wasn't doing that already lol. We never truly know when we are going to die. Sometimes we just assume that we will see tomorrow, but it is not promised!


Anyway, the article is written by a caretaker who sees those during their last days on earth. When questioning patients of their regrets several themes were quite common. 
Here are a few:


1. I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself and not what others expected of me. 
We have the mistaken perception that we should fit in or be what other's expect of us when God created us to be individuals. Many people don't realize this until later in life or they are near death.


2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard. 
We are always running after money, when that really isn't the most important thing in life. 


View all top five regrets here.

Inspirational Find! Candle Addiction Soy Candles are TRULY Addicting!

Hello everyone!!

Well I have another inspirational find for you and I LOVE it!!!

I have been searching for some good soy candles and came across Candle Addiction on facebook. As I always do, I watched her page and products for a while. Then when she had a sale I decided to purchase a candle from her! There were SO MANY to choose from but I chose honeysuckle jasmine. I miss honeysuckle from when I was a child (yummy) and my hubby loves jasmine. When I received my package in the mail, I had a big surprise! 

She had sent some extra soy melts! Yay!!

My hubby LOVES the Egyptian Amber soy melts and he is still burning them!

The Honeysuckle Jasmine candle smells sooooooooo good! 
One of the inspirational tips I share on my facebook fan page is to surround yourself with relaxing scents. You know I need to relax running a business and raising twin toddlers lol! This candle did it for me! 

Addicting indeed! lol! Whew!!

My candle is getting low and I am very sad about that! Lol. 

I need to save up so I can buy like.....5 more lol!

Check them out at Candle Addiction!
