Good Vibes Only
If you are looking for positive vibes and a little inspiration you have come to the right spot. Some people find it sickening how my "Glass is always half full" mentality spews out of me all the time and to those people I simply say "Don't kill my vibe"
So I hope if nothing else my posts will bring a smile to your face. Enjoy! Beware though, my optimistic attitude might just rub off on you . . .
If you like what you see (or not) email me! I'd love to hear from you!

Ahh, don't we all need that reminder sometimes?
It seems like we easily get caught up in what we can do for others before we give any time to ourselves. Now, not to sound selfish, but honestly, if you don't take care of yourself, how can you possibly believe you will be capable to help others?
I went on for several years not understanding how to put myself first. How to put my mask on before helping those around me, if you will. All though I love helping others and have a servants heart, there is a difference between having a servants heart and letting others walk all over you. So for me, it's time to change that.
It's time to speak up for myself and make time for me!
So, this year, take time for yourself. Schedule that massage with that gift certificate you've been holding onto for months. Go out to eat at your favorite restaurant that no one else ever wants to go to.
Make ME time a priority and then see how well that helps you to serve others in different areas of your life!
Much Love,
Anna Nickens
Place your Mask over your Face BEFORE Helping Others with Theirs . . .

YOU DESERVE THE BEST
Find your person. That person that will laugh with you often. Hold you when you cry. That person that you can tell anything to and you know they will just listen when you need them to and give advice when asked. Find that person that knows you better than anyone else and still loves you for all your faults. That person that you can have fun with but take things serious when needed. Find that person who is going to push you when you need pushed and tell you to rest when they see you need it.
That person who will celebrate with you in the good moments and help you through the bad. The one who you can be silly around. The one who will be silly with you. The one who will understand that you may not be able to dance or sing, but you're having fun doing it so, they'll make sure to not kill your vibe.
As I get older, I realize that time is limited. Moments are limited and nothing is guaranteed. Why wouldn't you chose to be with someone who brings you happiness each day. Why wouldn't you want to be with the person who does all of the above and more.
So if you are searching for your person, look for these traits in them. Look for someone who can bring a smile to your face and brings you happiness. Don't waste time on anything less. Time is not guaranteed. Moments are not guaranteed. Nothing is guaranteed.
I wish you all the best this year in your life and relationships.!
Much Love,

You know that Geico commercial where the aunts come to visit the couple's house and the one aunt is going through their condiments in the fridge and saying everything is expired and throwing it out? When I first saw that commercial I thought, “Jesus I need to go through my condiments!” But now when I see it, it makes me think more about the word, expired.
Not to compare life to Mayonnaise, but here we go . . . .
When we leave this Earth, we basically expire from this life. Whatever your beliefs are, ultimately, you are no longer here in this life that you are in now. You move on.
So, my word today is about this life you are living and making yourself happy.
Are you living to make other people happy? Yeah me too. I actually told my husband the other day that I think that is my purpose, to make others happy.
But when I really get into my thoughts and start thinking about other people’s happiness, it makes me think, well what about me? What about what makes me happy?
This is where my saying for 2022 came from . . . Don’t Kill My Vibe
I may wake up tomorrow and decide, hmmm, I think I like Jazz today. And I may listen to Jazz all day. While getting ready in the bathroom, while driving around seeing my clients, when I take a shower. All day! Then tomorrow I may want 90’s Rap. And I’ll do the same thing, only with different music. And THAT’S OK! AND NOT EVERYONE HAS TO LIKE IT! JUST DON’T KILL MY VIBE!!
That’s all I ask! That’s all I’m saying! Are you with me?? Email me, I’d love to hear what you’re saying or word for the year is. It always takes me a while to come up with mine, but this year was a little easier!
Much Love,
Anna Nickens
Expired!!
