I've Gotta Say Thank You ♥

Tonight I find myself in a pensive mood. Im just reflecting on all the wonderful things God is and all he has done for me. I am, EVERY DAY, blessed by my loving and gracious Father....so I just want to spend the rest of the night focusing on thanking the Lord for all he has and continues to do in my life.



Have a wonderful night lovies. xoxo ♥

Dont Worry Be Happy :)

IM SO HAPPYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

I feel like I can scream this from the rooftop for the rest of my life. I finally realized the secret to being happy FOREVER...

Here's my secret:

I realized that happiness doesn't stem from the fact that life or the people in it are perfect...NOPE...it stems from the ability to look beyond the flaws and imperfections presented before us day after day and see life for it's possibilities. We, each and every person on this planet, have the right to be happy. We have the right to wake up every morning and find something to which we draw our happiness from. How do I know that I have the right to be happy? Foremost because God told me it's my right to be happy...I know where my help lies and I know who I serve...those two reason are, to me, biggest reasons to be happy. Happiness is a mind state. Easier said then done, I know, but not impossible to achieve.

I'll leave you with this amazing quote to ponder:

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." -Groucho Marx

Wow...


(this guy is literally a one man band playing and singing Dont Worry Be Happy...I love his vivaciousness!!!)

I hope this post finds you blessed loves. Continue to keep your heads up and keep smiling...Remember, happiness is a state of mind, not a state of being. MUAH

Let's Fall In Love

Hello Lovies...poetry is the topic tonight. Below is a small poem I penned about a year ago. I don't have much to relay tonight, so....enjoy.



Let's Fall In Love

"Did he speak?" my mind is contemplating
Or is the quick tilt of your mouth just a tease of what I long for?
That glance, the way you gaze fixedly
Alone, I hold my arms in the air twirling in turns of merriment
The resonating voice in this mind yearns to be spoken aloud from my mouth
...Let's fall in love

Walking, with no real destination, forward...I pause
Legs locked up with stiffness and I discern it is you that I've encountered
Eyes collide from across the way
Head bowed in embarrassment as crimson heat spreads across my face
Unhurried I stroll towards you the seemingly figment of my imagination


"Can you speak?" I question of myself
Upon arrival to this destination I stare in admiration
Hand stretched to capture mine, I hear a symphony of words distantly
Cautiously my hand gravitates to yours and a new time is the present
No names yet exchanged, but more importantly expelled is this...
...Let's fall in love

FYI: I Dont Wanna Hear It!

Lately I've noticed that I have become a tad bit antisocial. My very nature is SOCIAL. I love meeting new people, I love conversing, I love going out and having fun, and I absolutely love traveling; but lately I have noticed that the people around me have been exuding a lil too much negativity. Is it just me or does it seem like negative energy is more prevalent than normal? Folks with all the negativity can just pause....cause FYI: I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!!!



Life is too short and I only have time to focus on the good life has to offer. Negative Nelly's must jump ship!!!



Welp...my circle has been cut to a small few ((positive people only)) and that's how I plan on keeping it. Adopting the right attitude can change a negative stresses into a positive ones.

Author Alfred A Montapert once said:

"Improper negative thoughts sink people. A ship can sail around the world many, many times, but just let enough water get into the ship and it will sink. Just so with the human mind. Let enough negative thoughts or improper thoughts get into the human mind and the person sinks just like a ship."

and I couldn't have said it better myself!!

Hope all you lovies are having a blessed night, morning or afternoon!!! xoxo ♥

Too Good To Be True

Hello darlings!! Today has been a beautiful fall day. The sun is shining brightly, the birds are chirping, the breeze is sooo refreshing and I find myself in a FABULOUS mood!! Sigh, it's days like these that I find myself so in awe of the Lord and his creations. :)



Now to address the topic of my title...TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.



I'm sure that most of us have heard or used the widely popular quote. "too good to be true", at one point or another in our lives. It seems to be the coined term attached to things that we desperately want, but never quite work out...but I see the quote as a crutch. Yup, that's right....I see the quote "too good to be true," as a crutch that we tend to use to make us feel better about making poor decision and to push away things and people that really are GREAT but we're too afraid to give a chance.

Here's what I mean...

In life we have the ability and the freedom to make choices for ourselves, whether the choice be a good or a bad one. I can say in my life there have been poor decision that I have made just because I was too stubborn to listen to good advice, there have been poor decisions I have made hastily in excited and impatience, and there have been poor decisions I have made because I was too afraid to let a something or someone in to my life due to past hurts....and all of those poor decision I, as a crutch, labeled with the phrase, It was "too good to be true." Labeling something as one thing doesn't necessarily make it true. The poor decisions I made in life had nothing to do with the "goodness" of the decision, but rather, the immaturity of not taking the situation in, in it's entirety and taking the time to discern whether or not the decision was a good one to make. There too many people and too many circumstance in life, that are waiting to present your life with success destroying limitations, for us to be adding more too it by labeling possibly GREAT things as too good to be true based off our lack of maturity to know the difference.

Take the time to truly discern the opportunities and people in your life. Take the time to form educated decisions in your life and I promise you, you will find that most all of the things in your life that are good are simply good and the gloom of a once limiting quotation, "too good to be true." is no longer dimming your possibilities.



I hope you are having wonderfully blessed days lovies. xoxo ♥

Oops, I Did It Again =0/

FRUSTRATED IS NOT THE WORD....Grrrrrr!!!

So, yesterday started off fabulous like most of my days...I got up, ate breakfast, worked, came home and sat down to relax and watch my TiVO programs. Sigh, the sit down and relax part is when all the trouble began. While I'm sitting down watching GLEE (love ♥ love ♥ love ♥ it!) I decide to defragment my computer and clear off any random unused programs off of my hard drive....OH WOWZERS WHAT A DUMB IDEA THAT WAS. While, cleaning off the "unused" programs, I somehow accidentally deleted the program that runs my wireless Internet (-__-).



Now, I have a laptop that can no longer log on to the Internet and I have no else to blame but myself. Every time I try to modify my computer by myself I MESS IT UP...you'd think I'd learn from my past mistakes, BUT NOOOOO!!! Sigh. Now I have to blog, tweet and update my fb from my office computer which is a million miles away (exaggerated) from all of the relaxing amenities in my house.

OOPS, I DID IT AGAIN =0/

Thanks for listening to my less than uplifting post today lovies...I really needed to vent. Today didn't go as smoothly as I'd have like either...so, here's to tomorrow. Hope your day went well...xoxo ♥

He Saw The Best In Me ♥

Hello lovies!! How's your day been? How's your month and year been? I am so blessed to have wonderful listeners in you, my dear readers. I hope today was blessed.

Today, I was thinking of how exactly I could describe the blessings I have found in today, in this month, in this year and speak to all things in one blog post lol. Instead of writing a five hundred thousand page blog, Ill let this wonderful song speak to the gist of it. I hope you enjoy!!!



He saw the best in me,
When everyone else around
Could only see the worst in me,

(Can I tell ya'll one more time, one more time?)

I said he saw the best in me,
When everyone else around
Could only see the worst in me,
(I wish I had a witness tonight, all I need is one)
Heyyy,

[Choir:]
He saw the best in me,
(When everyone else around me)
When everyone else around (OOOOh)
(Could only see)
Could only see the worst in me,

(Does anybody have that testimony? When folk walks you off, Said you would never make it, what did he see?)

He saw the best in me,
(When everyone else around you yeaaaa)
When everyone else around,
(OOOOOH, Could Only)
Could only see the worst in me,

(Can I tell ya'll one more thing? I just need to tell you one more thing)

(Listen to this)

See he's mine, and I am his,
It doesn't matter what I did,
He only sees me, for who I am,
(Does anybody know that today?)
OH OHH
See he's mine, and I am his,
It doesn't matter what I did,
See he only sees me for who I AM!
(HELP ME SING IT,)

[Choir:]
(Said that He is mine)
See he's mine,
(I'm his)
And I am his,
(Said it doesn't matter, what I did)
It doesn't matter what I did,
(He only sees me for who I) (Yea Yea)
He only sees me, for who I am,
Yeaaa, Yeaaa, Yea, Yea, Yeaaaaa Yea, Yea, YeaaAAA

He's mine,
(I am his)
And I'm his
(It doesn't matter what I did)
It doesn't matter what I did,
(Cause he only sees me for who I am, yea yea)
He only sees me for who I am,
(I'm so glad)

(That he is mine)
He's mine,
(Yeaaa)
And I'm his
(It doesn't matter what I did)
It doesn't matter what I did,
(He only Sees me...)
He only sees me for who I am

He saw the best in me,
When everyone else around
Could only see the worst in me,

(I wish I had a witness tonight, Can I ask ya'll one question? The question is simply this... What did he see?)

[Choir:]
He saw the Best

(I can't get no help up in here, because there are some folk in here, people have walked you off, said you would never amount to anything, said that you would never end up being anywhere, but [? ] tell them one more time)

[Choir:]
He saw the Best

(When mama said you would never be nothing, When aunties, and uncles, said you would never amount to anything, When daddy didn't come home anymore, He didn't look at you and say that you wasn't going to make it, God looked at you... AND WHAT DID HE SEE! What did he see?)

[Choir:]
He saw the Best
The Best [x7] (I said what did he see [x6])

He saw the best in me
(Oh Lord, Oh, Lord)


God has been and continues to be a faithful God. When others see in me someone that is less than worthy, my Lord see a heir to the highest kingdom. When I see in my reflection failings and past troubles, my Lord sees an overcomer and woman after God's heart. Even when we forget about all the times that God has seen us through, even when we turn away from him in anger and frustration, even when we question his timing and plans for our lives...HE ALWAYS REMAINS FAITHFUL. It's time we see ourselves through the eyes of God. We are strong and more than capable...hold tight to those truths and mentally mute those who speak anything that contradicts the things the Lord see in you!!!

I hope this post finds all of you in good spirits. Be blessed lovies. xoxo ♥

Let's Say It Together..."I AM A WORKAHOLIC"

They say that the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem...so here goes nothing.

I...AM...A...WORKAHOLIC!!!



Yes, I am a workaholic and I know it. I honestly believe that I was born to be a workaholic, a "break my back because no one can be better than me unless I let them" hard worker. I was taught that a rigorous work ethic would be my flotation device in a world full of drowning procrastinators...thanks DAD. lol. I was also born in the year of the Ox. We have an extremely high propensity for working. When others are throwing in the towel exhausted and out of breath, that is when I am hitting my stride, my pace. I have yet to fully isolate if I like working just for the sake of working or if I'm in it for all the financial gains...((shrugs)) maybe it's both.



Now, the above statements aren't necessarily bad, but my constant need to be busy is starting to effect my health and my sanity. I have extreme insomnia...my brain is constantly plotting out my next move. I find only a moments peace in a 2 or 3hr rest and then I'm back at it. I also feel as if I am missing out on adventures and opportunities. I am a free spirit for sure...the wind is constantly trying to blow me to greener pastures, bluer skies, and crystal clear waters of possibilities, but my anchor has always been work ((I'm sure this is a feeling that most 9 to 5 corporate workers share with me)) lol.


Anywho, the other night when I was working out and listening to my iPod, Kanye West's song SPACESHIP came on. These few words are still echoing in my head.


"I've been workin' this grave shift and I ain't made sh*t. I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky"



Somehow...I'm gonna find away to fly my kite and be the kite at the same time. (if that makes any sense)...Somehow.

Thanks for listening to my thoughts of the day. I appreciate each and every one of you!! xoxo ♥
