On a Personal Note.........

"A place for me to keep things real and simple." ~Irish~ 
It's a special time of year in my life during the months of February through April. It's a time that leaves me reminiscing over special moments and motivated to share a personal note with you all about my family.  Those of you who follow me know I try to focus Dedicated 2 Life on you most of the time.  Once in a while I remember I like to share a bit of my personal life to grow closer to my friends and followers. 

I come from a big family.  Yes, I am from a tribe of six!  I grew up in a home of all girls with lots of drama, crying, cackling laughter,

The Success Behind the Rich and Famous! Why They Reached Their Dreams and Many of Us Don't!

Picture
Ever wonder why some accomplish their goals and others struggle endlessly until they decide to give up?  The answer is right there in the last sentence.  Do you know what it is?  They don't give up.  The best example I can think of to share this is with those celebrities that have made it on screen.  They have all heard the notorious word "NO" probably more than anyone.  They refused to accept it and kept moving forward.   No matter how many times they were rejected for their word, they knew that a "YES" was coming up down the road for them.

It was that kind of determination that took them to the Big Screen!.....read more

How I Get Great Brands and Companies to Hire Me!

Picture
Working with great companies and making money online comes with doing a few strategic and consistent steps.  Anyone can do it.  In fact, I have shared many of the steps already in some of my earlier professional development posts.  However, I never put all the steps together to share a step by step process to help one GET HIRED by great companies like Dish Network, Walmart, Rubbermaid and many others. 

Some of my readers have asked me to explain this a little bit in more of a step by step tutorial to help them...read more

Coaching Tips in Professional Development and Leadership #3 - Pitch It Like a Pro!

Picture
It only takes one time to pitch the right crowd to change your world over night.  Take Lani Lazzani, the 19 year old founder of Simple Sugars who recently pitched her product on Shark Tank and landed a $100,000 deal with Shark Mark Cuban. 

Another power example of pitching a product can be viewed in the movie "Guilt Trip" where the main character played by actor Seth Rogen bores company after company with the specifics and scientific details of his cleaning product.  It wasn't until he finally listened to his mother..read more

Weight Loss and Feeling Young - The Benefits of Acai!

Picture
Thank you to one of our guest writers, Meg of Just a Little Nutty for working with Dedicated 2 Life and Delta Labs this past month on this months featured product and company for review!

As a wife, mother and entrepreneur, I have learned first hand how precious health and wellness is. We don’t have time to get sick, be under the weather or just not performing at our best. I was thrilled for the opportunity to try two ALL NATURAL dietary supplements from Delta Labs.  

I knew Acai is an immune supporting super food but never really thought about it until I mentioned that I was...read more

A Motivating Mothers Wish from Dedicated 2 Life - Shared to You with Love

Picture
It's Mothers Day as I write this and as I reflect on a few things, I wanted to share the awesome and amazing feeling that comes behind strong and healthy relationships....whether it be as a mother or not!I just got off the phone with my oldest son who is moving away today to a very rural area.  It may be awhile before I get to talk to him again as there is no cell service where he is moving.  As I said, it is very rural!  I love him and will trust in my heart that this transition will help him reach the goals he is looking for.  I have always known my oldest son to be the outdoors kind of guy.  I pray that this education will lead him to owning that charter boat business he wants one day. ...read more

My 5 Pounds of Spiritual Weight Loss - Gone Gone Gone!

"Today I am writing about a spiritual message that sometimes we forget about.  I hope you find it useful.  Blessings to you all everyone."       ~Irish~

You know those moments where you feel like you are a good twenty pounds heavier than what you really are? I dread those days.  Luckily, I have fewer these days than in the past.  I  used to have them often. It’s not hard when your two-page “to-do” list goes undone. When stress continues to build in your life because work is backed up, there are...read more

My Personal Fibromyalgia Story - Dedicated 2 Life's Wellness Topic #1

Picture
Those who have followed me for a bit might have heard me talk in the past about Fibromyalgia.  I remember how confused I was before being diagnosed and I will admit I was a total mess!  Today is Fibomyalgia Awareness Day and while I would have loved to have gotten this out so much earlier today, I was out spending Mothers Day with my children.  I still wanted to take a moment to support this day and share a little about how Fibromyalgia can effect a person's life and what some symptoms are with this disorder.
When I learned about my Fibromyalgia, I was one major mess.  On top of Fibromyalgia, I was also battling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and depression. My body ached like I had flu-like symptoms....read more

Dedicated 2 Life's Motivating Moments #4 - Lower Your Expectations Long Enough to Enjoy What's Going On Around You!

Why is it so many of us put so much pressure to do more, more, more even when everything is going just fine? 

I hear so many times of the successful steps people are reaching and look forward to seeing the celebrations among them; only to see a look of frustration on their faces.  I'm pretty sure we have all done this one time or another.   We need to take a moment to motivate ourselves!

Too often, we get fixated on the end result - THE PRIZE!....read more

Good Deeds

The Power of Kindness

Intentional Living!

Nothing else can give us the warm feeling inside and the rush of positive energy as doing something nice for someone. Good deeds are usually something simple that doesn't require too much conscious effort on our part, whether its toward an animal, a complete stranger or the very planet surrounding us. Doing good helps us feel focused, balanced and in tune with the world around us. It is the way of the open palm, the way of accepting what we cannot change and giving what we can to encourage kindness in others...read more.
