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

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 ♥

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 ♥

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 ♥

If Life Gives You Lemons...

POSITIVITY is the key to greatness...the key that unlocks possibilities...the key that sets you free.

Life is HARD, there's no question about it, but it is the most amazing gift given to us. A lot of our lives are squandered by the negativity we allow situations to bring into our lives. STRESS, ANGER & DEPRESSION are all effects of allowing negativity to seep into our lives. But you see, the struggles we face day to day make the accomplishments we achieve so much sweeter. Struggle brings out appreciation, spurs on drive, and gives us the chance to HOPE & PRAY...it is the thread that weaves all the good in life together. There is opportunity in every difficulty, we just have to take the time to seek it out & capitalize on it...so when life gives you those lemons, don't fret, rejoice in the FREE opportunity to make lemonade.



I hope this small bit of MEME advice, can give you a chance to see, if only for a moment, the brighter side. ♥

xoxo Loves

Love's Struggle

Hello loves!!! I decided it was about time that I shared another one of my poems with you all. This poem was written a long long time ago and is full of rugged and furious emotion. I love reflecting on old thoughts through poetry. Soooo...have a read and let me know what you think.



Love's Struggle

the past rips through my mind
leaving me blind to this pure love in front of my eyes.
head hurting I lash out continuously
seeing my future fade into the night, this night.

she talks to me telling me I'm losing him
my life grim with the probability of destroying we
contemplating all these words her words
the voice fades into silence as I type my minds reality

he's gone now, taking his light
I'm stupid right? and now its clear that my cheer dies
the lamp on the desk turns on and I wonder
the choices are two...stay and lose...or go, go and find him

tomorrow promises only some
it will be done and then home, proven or unhappily failed
I feel bolted to this spot by my pride
determination seeming unheard to my stubborn mind

arm over my forehead rest
my hand tests the fabric of my pillow frantically
he's back....his choice to make are two
to finish this he started or rip apart the chance with you

my eyes, they close heavy laden
aggravated I sit up frustrated on fetching my love
and then with one word.
he decidedly broke all, making the choice.

my anger boils over to tears
angst sears through my body. I leave...stupid stupid man
why did you decided so rashly
songs play my emotions into torment as a sit to listen

inevitably I must return
no concern seems to plague his mind, over it must be
Sauntering forward I stop
the handle, cold in hand I turn, open, release....and step in

Above The Clouds...

"For I know the plans I have for u," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper u & not to harm u, plans to give u hope & a future." Jeremiah 29:11





This feeling is like I'm soaring ABOVE THE CLOUDS!! Today has been an amazing day!! I'm moving closer to my destiny everyday. I have amazing people in my life that encourage me to be the best person I can be, to chase my dreams, to live life to the fullest and I have the Lord to thank for that.

Life is NOT easy...but the battles of life make the victories so much more triumphant. For me, I know that nothing can truly harm me...nothing can truly stop me...nothing can break me down to the point where I can no longer get up, because I have an AMAZING GOD who loves me, who has plans for me, who gives me the means to prosper, hope and have a future. Every morning I wake up in awe of the fact that I am able to see another day. I pray that for all you too my lovely readers.

Below are just a few of the people who God has blessed me with!!










I hope this post finds you blessed and deliriously happy!!

Unbelievably Grateful: Dedicated To All Of You ♥

This post is dedicated to all those who have showed me tremendous support in my life's endeavors, in friendship, in love!! I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU!!! ♥

God had graciously blessed each and every one of us with a plethora of gifts \ and a life, which we enjoy every day. So we should be thankful every day. GOD IS SO GOOD.

Below is a poem by an unknown author that really inspires me to strive for more GRATITUDE for all the things I have been blessed with and all the things I've have had to and will endure... for the combination of the two has made this journey so so worth it.

BE THANKFUL

♥ Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

♥ Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

♥ Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

♥ Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

♥ Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

♥ Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.

♥ Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.

Again, I am extremely grateful for the love and support that all my blog followers and readers have showed me. I hope you have a blessed night loves!!! xoxo

Feel Free To...Stay Forever

Shhhhhh....just listen.

Just Me...Being Me
Good night loves!!!

It's Time To Let Go

I've Come To This Realization:



It's time to let go...surrender my fear. I am always taking the safe route [even though everything with in me SCREAMS to take a RISK]. I'm always and forever investing in things I feel I can count on. BUT IM READY!!! I need to start cliff diving...running full speed ahead off the ledge, opening my arms wide & feeling the glorious rush of air speed past my body as I dive towards the cool blue ocean of possibilities. I'm tired of living life in fear of failure. I can no longer allow my faith to be misguided...I am placing my faith where it belongs. IN GOD.

I can feel the waves of worries and burdens gushing out of my soul like raindrops from a swollen cloud. The knots and strain are working themselves out as I embrace this new challenge. I AM WORKING IT ALL OUT!!! I am no longer going to gauge my desires, my actions, MY DREAMS on how they will affect another person. The only person I am taking into account is...ME & what I feel God is leading me to. I will not worry any longer about people who I leave behind, praying for my downfall. I will no longer surround myself with those who have lack of vision and are trying to hold me hostage with unblief. I am investing POSITIVE energy into myself before it's too late. AND IN DECLARING ALL OF THAT...I feel UNBOUND. I feel EFFERVESCENT.. I feel FOCUSED.


The time is now...It's time for me to open my pretty wings...and EMBRACE all that is within me to succeed. Destiny is calling me to live the life I am meant to live, not the one choreographed or orchestrated by others. The INEXHAUSTIBLY DETERMINED me has arrived once again. & SHE IS SET TO CONQUER.





Be Blessed Loves ♥

Lord I Need You...We Need You...Now

It's been a rough day :( My Nina (My aunt & godmother) is in the hospital dying. She's fighting so hard to stay...but things aren't looking good for her. I'm seriously struggling to keep it all together. There's so much I feel like saying, crying, screaming...but with all the emotion building this song says it all. It says everything my soul is emitting. Lord, my family & I...we need you now.

I Need You Now
~ Smokey Norful

Not a second
Or another minute
Not an hour
Or another day

But at this moment with my arms outstretched
I need you to make a way
As you've done so many times before
Through a window or an open door

I stretch my hands to you
Come rescue me
I need you
Right away

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now

Not another second
Or another minute
Not another hour of another day
But Lord I need you right away

If I never needed you before
To show up and restore
All of the faith that I let slip
While I was yet searching the world for more

The true best friend I have indeed
You're my best friend I know indeed
I stretch my hands to thee
Come rescue me
I need you right away

The agony of being alone
The fear of doing things on my own
The test and trials that come to make me strong
The feelings of guilt, hurt, shame, and defeat
The way the trials that beat upon me
But to know Lord that in you I've got victory

I need you now, Lord, I need you now
I need you right now, right now, right now
I need you now

Oh not another second
Not another minute, Lord
Can't wait another day
Oh Lord, please make a way
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Mmmmm, Yeah

I hope that you had a blessed and wonderful day. It's important that we be thankful and happy for everyday that we spend above ground. You see...someone somewhere didn't get to see this day...and someone somewhere wont get to see tomorrow. Our days...no matter how hard or how incredible...are still gifts given to us by our wonderful and mighty GOD!! Embrace each day...Enjoy the things you have rather then dwell on the things you don't. Carpe Diem...Seize the Day!!!

Please, if you can, keep my aunt and my family in your prayers. We appreciate it so much. I love you lovies!! xoxo

Grrr....Im stuck at home again on this frantically windy night, listening to my ipod and reading over old poems again. There is nothing I love more then spending time reflecting over life...and the thing that inspires my wonderings the most is listening to music and writing down my feelings. Im not terribly good at song writing, but I am pretty good at voicing my feelings (past & present) through poetry!! Below is a poem that I have written and love, but cant quite find the right title for. Feel free to read and give me your suggestions. I'd be honored!!!






[Untitled]

Yes, I thought I must forsake life
And just turn myself into stone;
The desert wind fully suited me:
No heart, no soul; just bone.

Yes, I thought it would be foolish to attempt To yearn for something again;
Yearning turns to need, and then
transfigures into pain.

I laughed at people falling in love
at those who believed in someone's word;
To make my happiness depend
On faith seemed quite absurd.

I lay alone and meditate
Sleeplessly in my bed,
So numb, so dumb, so icy, and cold,
Not realizing I was dead

And then you arrived and glistened
My life overflowing with snow
And saw the Spring of new life only love
Could appreciate and grow;

You made me feel so dazzling
I stripped off my cold, grey skin,
And opened the doors of my heart to you,
And, fearfully, let you in.

So now, my treasure, I am in love,
With everything that I've been through.
I know the ugliest of all the world,
And...above all, I believe in you.
Meisha Dwight

Dedicated to you...
