It has always been my motto to “Celebrate everything!” My children and friends are witnesses to this lifestyle. We celebrate big and small accomplishments. We celebrate life, friendships, promotions, good report cards, great ideas, creativity, originality, blessings and we celebrate each other. Now that my kids are all grown up and on their own, I celebrate new things in my life. I celebrate wisdom, new friends, traveling experiences, new projects, relationships, and most of all the reinvention of the best version of myself. Take time out to celebrate and enjoy your life. Celebrate everything!
I am reflecting on the one-year anniversary of a life-changing event. Last year on September 11, 2025, I slipped away in death at my home and was brought back to life through God and my sister(P.J. Jacobs), until the paramedics arrived.
Death came first, followed by the diagnosis of a very rare but deadly cancer, carcinosarcoma. Death even came twice the day after my cancer surgery, six months later. But God rescued me again.
I am so grateful to God for His grace and for the gift of life.
Hold your loved ones close. Life is so precious.
Thank you to everyone who loves me and prays for me. I love you all.
In all your efforts in life, remember to think happy thoughts. You will feel better and hopefully it will relieve stress. Your thoughts have a lot to do with your emotions. Your emotions have a lot to do with your health. Thinking positive thoughts, meditating and staying calm will improve your happiness. Try it!
Life is not perfect. There will always be something in your life that needs fixing. However, take one day at a time. Your life comes in layers. Peel off each layer with care and work on it. Do your best and strive to grow. Your life is worth the effort. Make it work!
If you love pink grapefruit like I do, have you ever tried it with pink Himalayan salt sprinkled on top? The taste is amazing and the salt brings out a sweetness in the grapefruit. Pink Himalayan salt is loaded with over 80 trace minerals along with potassium and iron. It is better than table salt for your health and body. Try it! It’s delicious! Here’s to your health and may you and yours live a long life! #PatricesPlace
Embrace life and enjoy being yourself and doing the things that you love. Some people may appreciate you for who you are and some people may hate you for being your awesome self. But just remember, you are great and wonderful and you do not need anyone’s approval to live blissfully blessed and happy. Keep going!
How do you see yourself? Do you live in the “box” that people tend to put you in? Do you care what people say about you when you try to move forward or try do something new? How many friends do you have and do they support your dreams? Sometimes people have a certain image of your life in their minds. They have already put you in a “box” that really has nothing to do with you. Family and friends who believe that they really know you may become skeptical when you embrace new ideas and dreams. Be encouraged to live your life based on who you are and not what people want you to be. Do not live in the box that others place you in. Get out of the box, run for the hills and live out your dreams. By all means, remain box-less!
Do you have a favorite food that gives you fond memories? I do. When I was in college, my friends and I hung out at our favorite burger place. We talked about homework, upcoming projects, our professors, our dreams for the future and relationships. We loved socializing, laughing and having fun. Big cheese burgers with all of the fixings, french fries and milkshakes were favorite foods that brought us together every weekend. There is nothing like fellowshipping and dining with loved ones and dear friends. When the food is good and the company is amazing, it creates unforgettable euphoria. Food is a connector. It connects people across all walks of life. What is your favorite food and what are your fond memories? Live life great. Stay connected. Eat good food. Embrace great friends. Create beautiful memories. Bon appétit!
I wake up everyday with excitement and vigor. There’s a certain energy that encompasses that type of mentality. My day starts at 5:00A.M. A warm shower, prayer, meditation, a drink of water, slow stretches, and a green smoothie are just parts of my morning routine. Sometimes I read and other times I sew or write. These are wonderful and calming things that I do before I leave home. By the time I get to work, I am in an amazing space mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally. Greeting people with love and smiles come easy. However, if someone approaches me with negativity, drama or discord, I will quickly try to diffuse the situation. There is no way that I will allow anyone to usurp the serenity that I just spent all morning creating. It is my determination to enjoy and protect my peace. Never let anyone pull you into their drama or foolishness. Pull away and guard your serenity. Never allow anyone or anything to take your peace. Enjoy your life.
