How does Trump do it? Really, how DOES he do it?

As a person who reads consistently to talks, online seminars, logical TedTalks and Buddhist talks, they always serve as a reminder to me to be aware of the Ego, to not be consumed by it and try not to let it lead the decisions that I make in life. 

When Ego gets in the way, you're excluding yourself from many good (and some bad, admittedly) things in life but as a little bit of an optimistic person, I try to look at the fact that there MAY be more good out there than bad. 

But how does Trump focus so much on himself, his wealth, his name, his brand, his popularity, his wins, his achievements and his own accomplishments to be sitting there in the Oval Office still? Sometimes I wonder if all those talks and the people I've listened to have been wrong after all. 

If focusing on yourself so much is wrong, how did and does Trump do it?

In his rallies, over and over again, he emphasizes on his own wins, the people who come to his rally and how he can do anything he wants and get away with it. 

He can vent at a crowd and they don't flinch or react. It's amazing.

Prompt - Describe My Favorite Drink

By
Favorite drink? Non-alcoholic? Lol. Coffee because of its aroma and it is an added bonus that it wakes me up (before I go-go) and at this point in time, I try to stay away from Starbucks because it ain't cheap and it is basically sugar-in-a-cup, that stuff. I am continually in love with my three-in-one, yes, boring but faithful. And everyone should be in love with coffee, in my personal opinion. But that is just me. XOXO Marsha

A Sweet Life

By
Bad news comes along everyday but last year alone, quite a few bad news struck me. The timing was like a mechanical pendulum. I thought to myself several times that I had enough, that what I needed was a break. A 10 day retreat where I am required to speak to no one, do nothing, listen to silence and nature and just be what I am meant to be.  But real life is not something you can escape for a long period of time. I served my silence....but reality will pendulum-swing back. A friend passed away after being in a coma for a few months. I know both husband and wife and they've always been really positive about handling the toughest of life situations. We may not agree with everything, but we do agree on many. During the time she was unconscious, I prayed every single day. I kid you not.  Her husband would report about her condition, good or bad, and I would either offer thanks or pray for good news and strength. Even during the worst hit moments, I kept the posi...

Feeling a Little Better

By
After all that fighting with the first week of meds, I finally feel like I am slightly more human and I can even consume food without throwing up anymore! It's a big celebration at the dinner table, it's a big celebration in the room and it's also a big celebration on the inside of me.  Taking care of myself has never been as important as last month when the sickness took over every single aspect of my life, every second of my life, and every ounce of my energy. When you're well, it's OK to fight all the way to planet Pluto and back  because you have it together. But when you're sick, there's nothing more humbling than your body telling you that you absolutely CANNOT.  Being this way has everything to do with being a single mother. Being alone or lonely was never much of an option for me and that has to do with the way I was brought up and the way I grew up. I had to fasttrack a lot of things and many times, when I failed, I had to pick everything u...
