Mama Life is the Best Life - by: Mermaid Mama Nicole

It's true you can be anything you want in this world but always choose to be kind.  Kindness means being Friendly , generous & considerate and this quality will truly get you far in life. Some people in this crazy world may say kindness is someone who's weak but that is simply un true. Being kind requires courage and strength.      A kind person has there eyes open and to be active when you see someone in need, for example when you see someone being hurt or bullied by someone else, to be kind means to step in or get help if the situation is a dangerous one.  It is not ok to not do anything.  You have the power to help change someones life with kindness.  Maybe you know someone thats having a bad day a simple smile or nice message could turn there whole day around and trust me its the best feeling to know you've changed their whole day and instead of it being a bad one it might just be one of the best days. Help to motivate and encourage others in all they do,  think ab

   I've always been determined to be my own boss and do what I love while making money.  It's not an easy thing to do or figure out , It took me many years to figure out how I could make a living doing what I love every single day but also make money to pay my bills and be comfortable.   I never went into mermaiding or being a hair stylist having her own little salon from home  thinking it was gonna make me rich ....I just want to make enought to support myself.  To be completly honest I wasn't sure if that was even possible.  I mean how were people gonna know about me if I didnt work for a big company ?  Would people actually call to book me ? What if they canceled ?  I have no big sign on the road advertising my business so how sucessful could i really be ?   These were all questions that went through my mind over and over and sometimes scare me.        Im still very new at this but guess what people started hearing about me through friends and social media, I joined th

     Positive Mind = Positive Life ,  I woke up today and that was my first thought of the day and I'm so happy it was, its true you have to always keep a positive mind even at the hardest times in life.  Lately over the last couple weeks I feel like I've come in contact with people just radiating negativity or going out of there way to make me feel bad and there were a few days Im sad to say it worked and I came home just feeling down, not myself.  It didn't last long witin a few hours I said to myself  " Nicole what they said doesn't matter and don't let them take the positive happy energy out of you because there the ones not happy with themself ."  Then that was that and I tried not to give it anymore of my thought or time because it really doesn't matter and I wasn't about to let them win, the way I felt that day when I came home is exactly how that person was hoping I'd feel for probobly days but I didnt let that happen.    Always keep a

I came across this quote today " Fear isn't your enemy, but a sign post".  I love this because we all have dreams and a lot of time fear gets in the way.  For a lot of people the fear and anxiety they feel from being afraid ends up stopping them from going after there dreams so there dream just ends up turning into a daydream that never leaves their mind and because of fear that dream they would love to turn into a reality only stays a dream.   I know first hand about that because for a long time my dream was just that a dream, today my dream is a reality because I decided to not care what other people thought or said about it and told myself the people in my life that choose not to support me won't be a part of this mermazing journey I'm on.  I'm very lucky because  the ones that are my biggest supporters are my husband and family.  I'm not saying to cut out everyone that doesn't support your dream just don't let fear come in the way  of it and g

 What are some things that have had a major impact on your life?  We have all had something happen to us in a good and positive way that has had a uplifting effect on our life, & sure we have also had things happen or even people you've allowed into your life that has also had a negative impact on you as well.     Let's think of all the positive things or people in your life that have impacted us in a wonderful way!  I've been very lucky in my life to have met some mermazing people that I know will be a part of my life always, some of these people came into my life very unexpectedly but I believe that everything happens for a reason and a higher power placed them in my life or me in there's for a reason, People you have in your life should be positive influences for you, meaning they should make you smile, bring joy in your life and not stress. Being around them should bring positivity into your life.  I know we can choose to surround ourselves with good positive

     I    Love the word Inspire, there are so many things that inspire me in life and on this mermagical journey I'm on.  The word inspire has different meanings to everyone and I think that's why i love it so much.  Inspire means to stimulate, motivate, encourage, energize, spark, excite, uplift and it goes on .  So what or who Inspires you in life?  I know that can be a tough question for some but take the time to really think about it, everyone is inspired by something.  Also think about who you may inspire, a friend , family member, the guy at the coffee shop, a niece or nephew. You may not realize that you probably inspire others around you but it's true. Think about who may be looking up to you for inspiration it could be a stranger you meet and were kind to and they will carry that with them and that could inspire them to do something for someone else.       For me I've always been inspired by the beach, the ocean , all the mermazing things around me everyday i

      Following your dreams whatever they are can be a challenging thing to do.  Whether it be traveling the world, playing in a band, starting a business you've always dreamed of doing or getting that dream job you've always wanted.  All of us have dreams and it's so easy to just keep going through the motions of daily life, and then one day you'll wake up and wonder why you never followed those dreams of yours.  The good news is its never too late to go after what you want. If you don't at least try to make what you've always dreamed of come true you will never truly be 100% happy, trust me on this I know. It can be very scary to make a life change especially when you get comfortable , I know this because i'm doing it.  Im finally for the first time in my life making my dreams come true and I dream of that day when I can do this and only this and not have another job to go to, but at the same time its very scary cuz I think to myself  " well what if
