Brenda: Have you ever sat down and pondered about the meaning of life?  I have many times, but today I ask myself “what is my definition right now?”, and I say…living life to the fullest because I want to travel and enjoy each day going forward happily without any regrets! What about you? 

Dominique: I love that saying, that is a great definition of the meaning of life. I believe the meaning of life is being happy with where you are and where you see yourself going. It is about smiling and living your life. It is going after your dreams and pushing towards accomplishment with yourself. It is exploring life and trying new things so you don’t feel regret later on. The meaning of life needs to be positive so you feel that sense of drive with who you see in the mirror. 

Brenda: Yes! I agree, but it can have different positive meanings for each person and where they currently are in their life.  I have had many goals and dreams over the years, but right now I am at a turning point where I am tired of working full time, so I want to live my life the best I can and get ready for retirement, so I don’t have to work and just enjoy the things in life that make me happy.  I do agree with you that the meaning of life needs to be positive because you do want to look in the mirror and be happy with yourself.  Do you think other people are as positive as we are?

Dominique:  Being positive during the hard times is difficult and I know it can be. There are times when I want to give up, but I need to take that deep breath to see that positive future I want. You have to let the hard times motivate you to push harder. I’m full of mixed emotions and I’m still trying to manage my happiness I once had a long time ago. You just need enough happiness and positivity to keep you living another day towards your goals and dreams.

Brenda: Yes, I believe everyone is different and their level of positivity can be high and low at times depending on what is going on in their lives!  

Dominique: I agree everybody is different. Let’s ask our audience at this current time in their life, how are they feeling?

Brenda: Let’s do a poll from high, medium, low and maybe a box for comments on why they chose that level???

Dominique: You should never take life for granted, you only get one! I believe that with your own life, be happy with who you are and don’t let other people make you doubt yourself.

Brenda:  Yes, I agree with you!  Live life to the fullest is a motto I always live by and will tell anyone who will listen!  Self-confidence is a must because you do have to be happy with who you are and never doubt who you are or what you ​can endure.

Dominique:  Remember…you are a strong person who can do anything you set your mind to do!  Go after your dreams, go after the bigger and better things in life and don’t settle for basic and always set your standards high.

Brenda: I have always thought I am a strong person and have learned with life, sometimes there are obstacles and setbacks, but you try your hardest to keep going, even if you have to change direction to get there.  I agree don’t settle for ​the basic​, push for more and set your standards high.

Dominique: Yes, you cannot be scared to go after something,​You have to have that confidence and that sense of effort to try something even if it doesn’t go as planned. Never give up on yourself when you fail, use that motivation to go after another dream or goal. You don’t fail, you just have to try harder next time.

Brenda: Become that strong confident person you look at in the mirror that knows they can go after anything they set their mind too. Be that person that doesn’t give up easily when things go wrong, and who feels great with​ themself who you are as an individual.

Dominique: Now tell us some of your dreams and goals. Tell us what keeps you motivated to​keep pushing for more. Tell us a story that has changed your life with that strength and confidence of not giving up.

Brenda: Let’s connect at a deeper level of confidence, strength, determination, and motivation that helps us all go after new dreams and goals.

Brenda: Have you ever thought about the difference between living with someone and living alone!  Things are simpler when you just have YOU to think about, but add someone to your living arrangement and sometimes it can be total chaos!  It takes some getting used to, but it can work most days, don’t you think?

Dominique: Yes…I still don’t get why clothes get left in front or next to the laundry basket instead of inside!  “Why can’t you put your clothes in the laundry basket?” this thought goes through my mind almost daily living with Brandon.  Isn’t it crazy that little things like this just are not understood by another person in your house…even after 4 years of living together…the same routine of clothes on the floor instead of the laundry basket!

Brenda: Yes…you would think since they so in to sports they could actually make something in the basket after all that time! I don’t have that problem too much with clothes on the floor with Mark, but there are always other things that differ between us in our way of living.

Dominique:  Yes, he makes it all the way upstairs and yet…he misses the basket by a few inches!  Another thing, he doesn’t understand why I can’t take my clothes off right side in and he definitely does not comprehend pulling my jeans off around my feet with tight skinny jeans is more work than stepping and pulling my foot through inside out!  Or what about the dishwasher…

Brenda:  Well, that must just be you because I don’t take my jeans off inside out! Now, the dishwasher situation in my house…I have a routine all my own…organized!  My plates go a certain way faced forward, my pots and pans go in the back together, my bowls at the top lined up with glasses and cups on each side right next to each other, and all silverware goes in the silverware container with all utensils facing up…not down.  

Dominique:  Yes, you have to have organization in your dishwasher and I do the same thing!  My plates line up a certain way, my cups and glasses are all next to each other, my pots and pans have their spot and my bowls line up perfectly.  Why do men not get it?

Brenda:  I can’t answer that because after almost 14 years…I still have to start the dishwasher my way! I will rearrange if it is not my way!

Dominique:  I do the same thing, they have to be the right way before I can start it.  When you live alone, you develop a sense of organization on how you do things to be comfortable in your house and when you live with somebody, those things sometimes can change to meet in the middle and you learn to compromise with that person.  

Podcast coming soon!!! Stay tuned ☺

Hello we are the Medina’s. A mother and daughter that decided to begin blogging and doing podcasts about the normal conversations we have on a daily base.

We will be talking about different topics in each of our posts and discussing our different point of views because we share many things in common, but we can also disagree or have different opinions. These topics will range from basic conversations to world problems, and we hope to connect with others as we do with each other.

Why do this?

• Talking comes easy for us, so we want to share with the world the conversations we find so interesting.
• We want to connect with others and share our stories for people to enjoy.
• Help others voice their opinion in a safe environment while understanding that everyone has different beliefs.
• Motivate others to feel better about themselves and where they want to go with their life.

Brenda (mother) and Dominique (daughter) have always shared such a unique bond, so the stories, experiences, conversations, and events are what we want to share with the world. We love engaging with others to connect different point of views, this helps us voice and share conversations with others listening.

We hope you enjoy our blogs and podcasts!
