My new favorite color is Orange!

I just bought a new little purse… all leather, and it’s a popsicle orange color.

I have in mind to use this purse in my Vemma side business! You can check it out at arthajackson.vemma.com 

Sunny Attitudes

I am always drawn to people who have sunny dispositions (or attitudes) and withdraw myself from those who are always negative. The funny thing, years ago when my little family was going through difficulties, I didn’t realize I was draining others by my own negativity until my sister took me aside and said that the negative vibes she was getting from me didn’t make her feel good. That was the best thing anyone could have ever said to me, so from that point forward, no matter what was going on in my life to dampen my spirits, I put the negativity aside and replaced it with cheerfulness instead. What a wonderful difference that made and an amazing lesson for me.

Thinking positive thoughts during the day helps me get through difficulties head on and makes me feel that I have someone on my side, supporting me in my efforts, no matter what I am involved in at those particular moments, especially when I’m out of my comfort zone. I know that difficult things are just part of life in order to make us strong…..I guess we all feel that way, right?
