It’s Hump Day Y’all - start your day with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#92

Today is Wednesday February 15th. 
Talked about my Valentine's Day with Ahron.  Then moved on to the word of the day "friend."  
Quote of the day: "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies,  but the silence of our friends."  - Martin Luther King, Jr.
the definition of a friend for most of us i soneone who we feel connected to and who is there for us in some way.  A friend is often someone that you share a bond with.  You may share some commone beliefs and values with friends, and often, a friend is someone you trust and enjoy being around.  Good friendships and good friends can often stand the test of time.  These relationships are often made from mutual respect and care for each other's well-being.
Signs of a good friend:
A friend is there for you 
A friend LISTENS to you
You feel good when you're around them
They are empathetic towards you
They are able to apologize and forgive
There is a BIG difference between a friend and an acquaintance! Pick wisely!!

Back at it Monday! - Start it with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#91

Today is Monday February 13th.  Went over the weather here in Denver and in Canada.  Then went over the word of the day "happiness".  Meaning: a state of well-being and contentment or a pleasurable or satisfying experience.
Quote of the Day:  "Happiness is an inside job.  Don't assign anyone else that much power over your life." and "Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it." - Bernard Meltzer
"Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude." - Dale Carnegie
"I would say that happiness is a decision.  Your happiness is your decision to make.  All quotes above require actions on our part and actions require decisions.

Today is Wednesday, February 8th.  
Word of Day - UNFUCKWITABLE!! Meaning - to be so confident that nobody can mess with your vibe.  When you are truly at peace and in touch with yourself, and nothing anyone says or does bothers you, and no negativity or drama can touch you!!
He's mad because I am UNFUCKWITABLE!!

Back at it Monday Y’all - Start it with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#88

Today is Monday February 6th.  Going over the weather we found out that our Canadian friends had an earth quake this morning. They all were good.  Well I messed up and today is TJ's bday not over the weekend.  So we wanted to wish him and my friend AJFJ birthday is tomorrow.  I will not be on tomorrow, so I wanted to wish him a happy birthday.  
Class everyone
Today's word of the day is "empowerment."
//The porcess of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's right.
**Quote of the day:
"Empowerment is never about blame; it is about taking personal responsibility." - Bryant Mc Gill
Self-empowerment in its simplest form means taking charge of your own life through the decisions you make every day.  It means not giving away your power by allowing others to make decisions for you...from how you like your meals cooked to what job opportunities you choose to pursue.  Empowerment can mean:
- having a strong sense of one's self.  Knowing who you are and what your values are & sticking to them.
- believing in yourself and trusting in yourself.
- aiming high and being disciplined in order to achieve your goals.
- speaking up and standing up for yourself and others who may need you!
Try to empower someone today, including yourself!!
Went over how some Beyonce fans have launched a GoFundMe accounts in attempts to raise funds for upcoming "Renaissance" tour.  GoFundMe was originally meant for people whom had real needs.  Now of some of the 18 different categories including the "wish" category. I mean concerts are just out of reach for a lot of us.  We can not afford to go.  
Moving on...
- Went over what was included in The Grammy gift bags given out to artist.  Check out what was in those $60K bags!!  The Dena Jo Podcast Facebook page
- Went over the newest Limited Edition Oreo Flavor
- Went over the news that Shamrock shake are coming back on February 20th, along with a new Oreo Shamrock McFlurry.
Fact of the Day: Vanilla flavoring has some scary ingredients:  Be cautious next time you bake or buy something vanilla flavored, because artificial vanilla contains castoreum, which is a product that comes from a gland in a beaver's butt.  BEAVER BUTT JUICE??? WTHeck??
I then went over a list of wild and wacky "truths" your parents or school teacher tried to instill in you as a kid.
Music - was  80 hits!

Friday Fun Day with DJ -Start it with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#87

Today is Friday, February 3rd.  
Word of the day is "challenges"
//: a stimulating task or problem; looking for new challenges
Quote of the day:
"Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." - Joshua J. Marine
Challenges in life are just opportunities for success.  So if it leads to success, why do so many not go at challenges head on?? Typically because it is difficult and people like the easy and familiar path.  If you face challenges there are usually two outcomes, failure and success.
But here is the thing, failure is not a bad thing.  You learn so much when you fail.  What worked and what didn't work.  How to do it differently next time.
Look at the stories of these super successful people:
- Walt Disney got fired from his newspaper job because he "lacked imagination."
- J.K. Rowling lived on welfare to get by and her book was rejected by all major publishers
- Stephen King had his first novel rejected 30 times before it was published
- Thomas Edison didn't invent the lightbulb with the first try
Sooo do not be afraid going after those challenges that come into your life.  You will develop character & you could grow.
In Trending:
- 64 yrs ago today, The Day the Music Died: Musicians Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson, along with the pilot, Roger Peterson died in a plane crash.
- Full Snow Moon - The February full snow moon will be illuminating the sky this weekend.
- Golden's in Golden - to celebrate National Golden Day.  Hundreds of Golden Retrievers in Golden CO
- Baby Sloth is born at the Denver Zoo
- National Carrot Cake Day today 
- National Wear Red Day - Women's heart disease awarness
Then Ahron joined his Mom and went over the sports he watched during the week.  He went over the WWE Royal Rumble winners.
- College Basketball
- NFL Conference Championships and Super Bowl Matchup
- Broncos New Head Coach - Sean Payton

It is hump day Y’all - start it with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#86

Today is Wednesday February 1st.  Spoke about the weather here in Denver, Canada & PA.  If you would like your weather shout out, leave me a comment here on Podbean or on The Dena Jo Facebook page.
The word of the day is "enthusiasm.' Meaning: something inspiring zeal or fervor.
BP ate his breakfast with enthusiasm!
Quote of the day:  "There are two things that change your life: either something new comes into your life, or something new comes out of YOU!" - Brendon Burchard, The Charge: Activating the 10 Human Drives that make you feel alive.
Did you used to have enthusiasm for something in your life?  Life happens, work, kids, just responsibilities.  Something happens and I would say a majority of us, myself included, we put those things that we were passionate and enthusiastic about away, on the back burner to collect cobwebs and to never see the light of day again.
You see I was never taught to be enthusiastic about anything. To have dreams, hobbies, passion & love for something.  I was taught you get a job, work hard, move up, have a family & live happilier ever after.  There was not time for hobbies or passions.  Your life is basically not yours anymore.  I try to teach and encourage my kids to do things you love.  Have dreams, goals and bucket lists.  It does not matter how olf you are, something new can come out of YOU!!!
In Trending:
- You can now rent Kevin Costner's Colorado Ranch for $36,000 a night.
- Record store days in comin in April I believe.  Record store day (RSD) is an annual event involving more than 260 independent record shops across the UK, with thousands of stores across the world also taking part.
Hundreds of vinyls will be released just for RSD, and will be exclusively sold throu brick-and-mortar record shops.  Many shops will also host performances to celebrate the day, so be sure to check with your local shop to see what they have planned across the country.
RSD"s ambassadors are artists Amanda Shires & Jason Isbell, they are also married.  They do a pretty cool thing for people whom have a hard time with crowds or super loud noises they have sensory rooms at all their concerts so that all can experience LIVE music.  AWESOME!!
- Krispy Kreme's Limited-Edition Valentine's Themed donuts are officially here. (check out my FB page.)
- Dariy Queen just released its new Valentine's day desserts (check out my FB page.)
- Which of these unique menu items found only in other countries could you like to see make a leap to the US?  There are some gross one's.  Again posted on my FB page. The Dena Jo Podcast Facebook page.
For music I went over the sitcom them songs we all grew up with.

Back at it Monday - start it with a little sugar‼️😁💕❤️.#85

Today is Monday January 30th.  It is my boo's birthday & also my nephew's birthday.  Happy birthday you guy's,  Today in Denver it is currently -7 and feels like -5.  It is cold everywhere.  Ryan sent me a picture from his car in Kimberely British Columbia it was -21! For our friend GPmann in Dallas, TX it was snowing.  
Today's word of the day is "attitude."  Meaning: the attitude is the state of mind that is expressed in a certain way.
Used in a sentence: "If you continue with that attitude, you will be left out of the team!"
Quote of the day:  "Keeping one's attitude positive, especially when the world conspires to make us mad, is one of the greatest accomplishments of life."  - Brendon Burchard, The Motivation Manifesto
A positive attitude is a way of looking at the world that enables you to achieve your goals.  It's not about being happy all of the time, but rather taking a more realistic view of what's possible and making decisions based on that.  
Don't take things for granted because they could disappear at any moment.  Try to focus on all the good things in life and appreciate them more often.
Remember, being around negative people can affect your mood and create situations where you feel unhappy or depressed.  Spending time with positive people will help keep your spirits up and make you feel better about yourself.  Physical activity and challenging tasks can help build confidence, self-esteem.
Here are some characteristics of positive attitudes:
1.  Optimism: Optimism is the belief that good things will happen to you in the future.  It's a belief that there are many possibilities and opportunities for happiness, success, & growth!
2.  Acceptance: Self-acceptance is an important part of positive attitudes.  It is important to be accepting of yourself, your experiences, and your current situation.  But you cannot expect to change your life if you aren't willing to accept it as it is now as a whole person.
3.  Resilience: Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity and difficulties.  Resilient people have a positive outlook on life, take risks and make mistakes.
4.  Integrity:  A person with integrity is honest, trustworthy, and has the moral courage to do what's right when no one is looking.  They are willing to stand up for what they believe in and will not compromise their integrity for anyone or anything.
5.  Gratitude:  Gratitude is a positive attitude that is characterized by appreciation and thankfulness.  Gratitude has been associated with improved physical health, better relationships, greater productivity, better sleep, and better immune systems.
REMEMBER: You do not choose the load you carry BUT you do choose how you carry it!!
So, try to have a positive attitude.  It can change your life and others also.
