I am a huge fan of personal improvement — also known as personal development.
Why? Because not only does information like the below video shed light on why you’re not successful, but it also helps to reprogram your brain for success!
It’s just the right kind of brain washing, in my honest opinion.
Let me know your thoughts on the subject!
And if you’re ready to surround yourself with more people like this who are success oriented, then check this out!

Former President Jimmy Carter, who has been to over 145 countries and has met people from all over, speaks from his experience that the #1 abuse of human rights on earth is the abuse of women and girls.
Now, I may be partial being a woman myself, however hearing this from such a distinguished gentleman who has traveled the world over and been privy to some of the best (and worst) times in life, I knew I had to watch and learn.
He mentions that iconic holy books have often been misinterpreted by men.
What? Say it ain’t so, Jim!
In 2000, he said that a Baptist convention decided to place women in a secondary position or subservient position to men. How did they do that? By issuing an edict that prevents women from being:
– a priest
– pastors
– deacons of the church
– chaplains in the military
And in the southern Baptist seminary, if she teaches in a classroom she cannot teach if a boy is in the room!
Sexist much?
But it turns out that it might not necessarily be sexist – just a misinterpretation of what men feel is written in Scripture.
So Mr Carter says that the abuse stems from two things:
1 – the misinterpretation of holy scriptures as stated above where men have the mistaken idea that women are not equal to men and therefore do not deserve the same treatment or equal pay
2 – excessive resort to violence, which is increasing tremendously around the world
Now, there is a third but you have to watch the video to find that one out. 😉
Mr Carter touched on prison statistics and how poor people are targeted, or rather when he was President 1 in 1,000 people were imprisoned, where as these days it’s 7.3 people per thousand. Cause statistics!
Something else I learned was that the United States of America is the only developed country with a death penalty. o_O
He also spoke on:
– genital mutilation and how it is running rampant in certain countries
– honor killings (where they execute a girl who is raped, marries someone who is not approved of, etc)
– slavery or human trafficking (yes – this still goes on today)
– prostitution (and how Sweden is fighting it & who is following in their steps)
– sexual assaults in the military & how rapists are not being persecuted
– difference in pay between men and women
One statistic I heard was that really struck me was that 1 out of 4 girls who enter college will be sexually assaulted before they graduate, and how rapists are not persecuted on campus!
This is truly an amazing video that everyone should watch, so I have provided it for you today.

So while I was watching some very informative YouTube videos (no seriously) I saw this on the right column and it was so silly to me I had to watch …
Amuse yourself for a minute or two watching surgeons play operation!
So after watching this …
You think you can out-play a surgeon at Operation?
Growing up since any Disney film, girls have been given role models to look up to and learn from, oddly enough. I never really thought about it much myself.
However this video from SuperCarlinBrothers does a FANTASTIC job not only hitting the proverbial head on the nail of a major Disney theme, but also brings to light some pretty interesting information I never knew before.
For example – did you know that there is written criteria to be a Disney Princess?
Check out the video below if you are a Disney Princess fan! Or just like being entertained. 😉
What about you?
Do you agree with these Top 5 Snubbed Princesses of Disney?

Today was a glorious day!
Not only did I get to spend a few hours with my sisters and my nephew celebrating his 1st birthday, I got to watch 2 wonderful men work through putting up the mounting bracket for our TV.
Why is that glorious?
I would be delighted to explain. 🙂
It’s rare that I get to see my sisters and brother, even though they live about an hour away in Fort Worth.
With the way our schedules are, my job plus my businesses, I only take Sundays off so spending at least 2 hours in the car on my day off is really hard.
We all know time is limited, but now that I think about it I’ll just see if maybe they could meet up with me half way. That way we can see each other and no side has to spend so long driving. ^_^
Yep, I’m going to do it. Because aside from today, I haven’t seen my sisters or my nephew in almost a year and that is completely unacceptable
Don’t you agree?
So I got to spend a few hours today hanging out with my baby 1 year old nephew, being around people (which lately is a rarity unless it’s planned) and spending time with my sisters.
I really enjoyed it and miss them terribly, so it was wonderful to be able to spend the day at the pool over a meal, birthday cupcakes and celebrating the day of my nephew’s birth!
So, my awesome boyfriend bought us a new TV since we have been having issues with our last entertainment system.
And it’s lovely!
The picture is beautiful, the sounds is great, and it’s definitely a test of my endurance and focus when I’m trying to work on my businesses while he’s watching something or playing a game.
Well, he decided he wanted to mount it to our apartment wall.
Now, neither I nor he has ever done this kind of work but apparently we knew someone who used to do this for a living.
Out of the kindness of his heart, our friend has come over and I’m watching them set this up so that we can have our TV mounted instead of on a (very short) table.
So not only are we getting to spend a little time with this friend we rarely see, but Devon is learning how to set it up as well so when we move we can re-mount it in our new place!
Why are these two situations glorious?
Because when you don’t see people for so long and then you get to spend time with them, it’s like refilling your cup.
I personally feel re-energized & rested, and although sad the time ended for the day with my family and with this friend, I still got to spend my precious time with people I care about and who care about me.
So let me know!
Who do you spend the most time with? What do you guys do?
Who would you like to spend more time with?
Leave a comment below! Would love to hear how you spend your limited awake time. 😉
Also – if you’re interested, join my mailing list! At some point I’ll get my video edited and up on my blog and you can partake in some of the festivities with my nephew! (He’s super cute, I promise!)
Other than that, thanks for stopping by!
