Nothing is imposable for those who believe!

Where focus goes, energy flows. And if you don't take the time to focus on what matters, then you're living a life of someone else's design. ~Tony Robbins ~ Yesterday is over & today is here. Let's focus on what we have, what we are doing, who we are.  Dig deep inside yourself & find that passion & fire that creates your dreams then have the courage to make those dreams reality. Nothing is imposable for those who believe!

Change is definitely in the air

Change is definitely in the air-- from the leaves changing into a bouquet of reds, oranges, yellows, and green that eventually make their dance to the ground to the chill in the air-- change is here whether we like it or not. There are a lot of changes in life too... we are lifelong learners no matter what possession or place in life, and as such variety is the spice of life, right? But sometimes we fight it...we resist change..we're afraid of it...instead of going with the flow, we dig in our heals--it may be something that is incredibly good for our souls or our bodies and yet we fight it.  Change is scary, yes, but sometimes altogether necessary for our growth and movement through life. Wouldn't it be better to go into it empowered, as prepared as we can with our faith that everything WILL work out okay eventually (even if we can't see the hidden blessings at the time), and take the leaps of faith that may be necessary for change to occur? Now is as good a time as any to truly shed the old layers of ourselves-- the world needs the new and improved you!!! Release the past, let go of your tattered and torn ideas of what should and could have been, and find yourself in the present moment--- healed, inspired, engaged, empowered, ready, and willing. Let go of that which no longer brings you joy and no longer serves your true purpose here. Fill your space up with positive energy to the best of your abilities, no matter where you go or where you are led.... Ask for help along the way and trust that everything truly is unfolding as it is meant to. The really crappy part about resisting is change is that sometimes (usually?) it just goes on right ahead without us, and then it becomes uncomfortable, and super scary, heart breaking even. So, I'm going to go about my merry way.... accepting...acknowledging..releasing...healing... taking little leaps of faith and try my best to gloriously and whole heartedly embrace the changes that I have made and the changes that are on their way. Life is good... Life IS beautiful .It truly is about love...loving ourselves...loving others...loving life... the rest is merely details.

If the world could be as wonderful as my dreams
it would reach past perfection. If boundaries didn't exist, if fears didn't confine more than two hearts could forever intwine ♥

Definition Of Love

Love is a funny thing. You expect it to be easy. You expect it to be a world of roses and laughs and perfect moments that you find only in movies. You expect her to always say the right thing, and always know exactly how you feel, or exactly how to react to it. You expect her to calm you down when you're yelling or to chase you when you run away. You expect so much that you feel entirely, and utterly defeated when something doesn't exactly match up with all your plans. But that's the thing. Love isn't a plan. It doesn't have a certain beginning and it certainly has no end or visible finish line to those deeply in it.

Love happens; it is so incredibly messy. People around you can't comprehend why you do the things you do, or why you fight so hard for something that seems to cause you so much pain, because simply, they can't see. They can't see the invisible ring of insanity that surrounds you when you're in love. It's inconvenient and painful and devastating at times, but we can't live without it. What you don't learn is how hard love is. How much work it takes. How much of ourselves we have to put into it. How it isn't worth it until we are complete and utter idiots about it.

Love isn't her calming you down when you yell. It's her yelling, just as loud, just as hard, right back at you, right in your face to wake you up and to keep you grounded. It isn't her/him bringing you roses everyday or cute things that make your relationship appear more presentable.

It's after a long fight, that drains the life and bones right out of you both, and yet her showing up at your door the next morning anyway. It's not her saying all the right things or knowing exactly how to handle you. So no, it's not her caressing your hair and telling you everything is going to be alright. It's her standing there, admitting she's just as scared as you are. You have to remember that with love, you're not the only one involved. You've unknowingly put your life, your heart into the palms of another persons hands and said, here. Do what you will. Mash it into mince meat. Or forget I ever handed it to you. As long as you have it.

It makes us crazy. It makes reality invisible and it erases all the lines that we shouldn't cross. Because love isn't about fencing ourselves in; feeling safe, feeling sure about the future. It's about scaring the shit out of every nerve in our body, but pushing forward anyway. Because all the fighting and all the tears and all the uncertainty is worth it. And it's a hell of a lot better, than being 100% happy without someone to show us that there is a world of a difference between feeling 'happy' and feeling whole

How much do you think is too much when it comes to... mixing kids and caffeine?

 The question was asked on the news and brings up a very important topic. Here is my opinion what do you think? Do you let your children have caffeine?

I think a soda, ice tea, chocolate drink (all which have caffeine) every now & then is ok. As with everything in life the key is moderation. When you don't allow a child to ever have something it creates deep rooted issues that can linger ...forever. The key is teaching our children a healthy lifestyle. And nothing speaks louder than actions. Our children are going to copy many of the things we do. Knowing that we must be wise about our actions. Im positive soda everyday can't be good. But at the same time can you really imagine not ever seeing those happy moments created around a campfire with smores & hot chocolate or a cold summers day without a rootbeer float? And when my daughter was younger & wanted a delicious Starbucks treat caffeine free is the way to go for both of us :)

Ummm ya its good stuff tonight

We all get what we give. I never seek to get even with anyone, EVER! I know God's justice is far better than mine could ever be. I have faith in him & those I love. And I know those meant to be in my life will always be in my life. I'm in my thirties not my twenties I don't buy into these high school games. I know everything in life happens for a reason & even in tough spots I keep safe in my heart that God always has my best interest at heart. I stay in his light & everything will always work out for the best. The right thing is far from the most popular & sometimes a very hard lonely path.  I'm true to my heart. And I love those around me enough to make them be true to theirs! Part of loving yourself means accepting every part of your you, the light and the dark. We are a wonderful amalgamation of love, spirit, thoughts, emotions, good habits, bad habits, personality quarks, dreams and intentions. To deny any part of that is to deny the miracle that is you. Freedom and happiness come when you give up the illusion of trying to be perfect so you can finally just be yourself. I am myself always! Those that love me love that! Those that truly love me I don't need to worry about they will always be there when the dust settles from a storm. Those who I can't see simply weren't meant to be!

I never really do this but Im going to tonight because I truly think some people need to hear & digest this. So here you go:

No man wants to deal with psycho drama. Men want to be loved & appreciated, not accused & condemned!  There are few people that get to my heart but when they do they are taken care of.  Its not about being perfect. Its about loving people perfectly. Loving them for who they are just as they are. You can't change people. The only time someone changes is when they find it in there heart that they want to. A man wants to be respected, appreciated, loved & someone who will be loyal to them. Not someone who is always, criticizing, judging, blaming, and doubting. No-one wants to deal with drama. Who has the time. If you cant see the lesson its cause you haven't learned it yet, 


On different note, Don't judge other peoples faith.When that day comes he's not going to ask anyone but the person in front of him for an answer to their lives. I'm more than confident & comfortable with mine. Are you?!

LIFE IS NOW IT'S OUR TIME TO BECOME OUR VERY BEST, LETS DO IT TO IT!!

Climb that Mountain, Concur You Battles, Chase Your Dreams, Pull in the Stars & Kiss the Sun! A new day has begun! Challenges are exciting they make us better baby! There is no day better than today to be your very best! Life is right now! It's not later! It's NOW! Doesn't matter what was done last year last month yesterday or even five minutes ago. LIFE IS NOW IT'S OUR TIME TO BECOME OUR VERY BEST, LETS DO IT TO IT!! Peace Out ;)

You get what you give!

Our lives are the results of our choices to blame & accuse others or other extrinsic factors is to choose to empower things to control us Create Your own future! I don't care about the ones trying to cause drama & pain. I can walk away for it without the blink of an eye or even a second thought. When I say I don't waist my time with people that don't mater that's exactly what I mean. I surround myself with people that I care for & that truly care for me in return. Every action has a reaction! You get what you give! 

All For Now Peace Out!

Passion Baby, Thats the key!!

"Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach."  ~ Tony Robbins, Passion the key to success! You must be passionate about what your doing. If you believe in yourself & what your doing success will find you. Whats your heart's desire? First you must know the answer. When you figure it out go after it & stay committed to the path that leads you there. WE all have everything we need to succeed right inside of us already we just have to dig down deep & ignite the fire.

Passion Baby, Thats the key!! xoxo

Happy Tuesday 【ツ】

Some days it's hard to let go of the mean or hurtful things others do. In this world it's so easy to get caught in the cycle. Everywhere I look I purposefully have little reminders to try & keep myself in perspective. This is one of the ones on my desk that I look at constantly throughout the day. It helps remind me that everything should be done purposefully & to your best & that I only control my thoughts & actions.

Taglines A Terrible Thing to Waste or A Waste Of Time?!

Most business owners I've found have a fear of marketing, much less branding. Most people do not realize or understand the importance of branding. Branding matters, messages matter, & tag-lines are something that can have a huge effect on you business. A successful tagline's lifetime is almost infinite. The only time a tagline would need to be changed is if there are pressing reasons to change the core message. There can be reasons, for example if there's a change in your company's focus, or the competitive environment in which you work; then you'd need to change your tagline. Although ideally you would never want to change your tagline.(that will only confuse people) If you must change, change only your "Image" to help consumers meet where you are today. As challenging as it is to create a strong tagline, it's all too easy to craft one that fails. NEVER be generic. Remember, your brand in general and your tagline, almost more than any other piece, should be as specific and emotive as possible to highlight the connection between an individual and your business. Generic language is deadly! Your tagline should show the value of your business. Your marketing should never raises more questions than the answer. Do NOT be generic. Be specific and distinguish your company from the others. Never indulge in or plan uneasiness. Avoid introducing ambiguity into your branding. Avoid poor word choices. Only use ONE tagline at a time!!  The best way to confuse and alienate your audiences is to send out multiple messages at the same time. Unless consumers are hearing consistent messaging from your business, they are not going to recognize you in an instant. 

To be honest that is all you truly have. You have an instant to attract & keep their attention. It's imperative your message has a generalized positioning value. If your message doesn't have positioning value, if it is just a descriptor, it is a waste. That is really key, the most important "do." You want to make sure you make your tagline broadly accessible and memorable, avoiding jargon and acronyms. Make sure you can be recognized at a glance, that your company is memorable. What is it that is so important that people want to repeat it and that they can not stop thinking about. You ultimately want your company to be seated not only in the brain, but in the heart of your consumers.

We need to find God

We need to find God, 

and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... 

We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa

"Jealousy"

"Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value.  Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you.  There is only one alternative - self-value.  If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. 

You will always think it's a mistake or luck.  Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within.  Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences.  Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security.  Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them." 

Can I be More Clear Than Take A Long Walk Off A Short Bridge?!?!

to strike you down

Couldn't have said it better myself!!

You aren't going to be his first, his last or his only. He's cared about someone else before and he will again but if he cares for you now what else matters? He's not perfect. You aren't either and the two of you will never be perfect... but if he can make you laugh at least once... hold onto him and give him the most you can... he is not going to quote poetry... he's not going to be thinking about you every moment... but he will give you a part of him that he knows you can break... so don't hurt him don't change him and don't expect more than he can give you... don't analyze... smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad and miss him when hes not there.

- Angelina Jolie

I didnt write it but its still good :D

To love is to risk
not being loved in return
to hope is to risk pain
to try is to risk failure
but risk must be taken
for the greatest hazard in life
is to risk nothing at all

Veterans Day

You don't have to agree with war or the reasons behind it to appreciate respect & honor those who have fought & those who continue to fight for our freedom. To all of those brave men & woman Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!

Last thoughts of the day

The more you worry about your problems the more you take attention away from the good in your life. He's got your fears, so relax & keep pressing forward. We've got a world to concur ;-)

Wisdom

"Take no offense.
That which offends you only weakens you. Being offended creates the same destructive energy that offended you in the first place - so transcend your ego and stay in peace." - Dr. Wayne Dyer

Lao Tzu

Woman at her best, like water,
Serves as she goes along:
Like water she seeks her own level,
The common level of life,
Loves living close to the earth
...Living clear down in her heart
Loves kinship with her neighbors,
The pick of words that tell the truth,
Even the tenor of a well-run state,
The fair profit of able dealing,
The right timing of useful deeds,
And for blocking no one's way
No one blames her

Lao Tzu

Just thinking aloud

One of the hardest lessons I've learned is to simply let go and move on. Nothing has taught me more or spoken to me louder than the actions of other people. Someone shouldn't have to tell you they care for you to truly know it. It should be something that you can feel in your heart. While we may try to help or hold on to ones we love, what are you receiving from the situation emotionally and mentally? If you are the only one ever giving in the relationship as much as it hurts to admit your most likely being used. Think of the time and energies already vested into this do they add up make sense and dived equally among all involved or does one always come up a bit empty handed. Time will pass situations will change
 but a person very seldom does. Just a thought

It Is What It Is

Stressed & tired of peoples games. Never have I asked for nor have I expected anything from anyone. I live my life out in the open & I wear my heart on my sleeve. There's no need to change who I am, or alter my opinion to please others. I am me daily! My real raw emotion, sometimes good sometimes bad. I'm happy to share them with you but you gotta take me as I am cause I'll never change me!

Just a lil Faith

I've learned in life there is no point to fear. Fear is the absence of faith, and faith is something I've always had plenty of. Have faith in yourself those you love & your dreams. Because people have faith in you if no-one else know beyond a shadow of a doubt if your my friend I have faith & know deep in my heart you can achieve anything you want to if its in your heart, you have faith and then follow up with actions. It's just that easy. So believe in yourself because I believe in you!! Happy Humpday My Friends

Open Your Eyes!

I'm not perfect and never have I portrayed myself as so. I make mistakes. I mess up but everyday I live my life the best I can trying to do right by everyone I come in contact with. I learn, I grow, I become a better me with each day that passes. The people who take the time to truly know ME know this. The ones who can't see the depth of my heart are not people I want in my life. It hurts to finally realize someone you care for only sees the bad in you. Thats like seeing the ocean but never felling the water because you don't like the way the sand feels in your toes. You'll never know the know love or the true beauty of life if all you choose to see is the flaws in the world or things you don't like. No-one wants to be reminded of their short comings. Give praise to the accomplishments people make even if they are small to you. They may be huge to them. Take it from me, I'm doing the best that I can do everyday! But some people just see what I do wrong. Those people suck the life from you. They make you doubt yourself. They are like a cancer and must be removed! I only want people that feed positivity & hope into my life. I don't care how much I love you I will distance myself from you if you can't see ME for Me not just who You think I am!

Mmmmm Greatness

Life is more than getting to the top & sensuality is more than getting laid Without passion life is empty without love life is pointless. Nothing could ever replace the intense connection that occurs n a moment of passion or the undeniable bond love creates its raw it can be sweet it can be rough it just has to be real!

To My Friends, Sorry I Suck

I'm so sorry friends. I've gotten so many emails just now that I'm ignoring or avoiding people. I promise that is not the case I'm not in any way! If you are on my friend list in anyway its because I want you there. It's just very difficult to work two jobs and try to keep up with everything else as well. I'm sorry if I'm sucking as a friend lately. Ive just been working so hard. Please understand. Love you guys!

Shaping your future

Your thoughts shape your actions & Your actions shape your life. Watch what you think. Be mindful of what your allowing to feed you heart is it positive or negative.Surround yourself with negativity & negative things are sure to follow. Surround yourself with Positivity & positive things will happen in your life. The choice is yours choose wisely! Happy Tuesday Friends Lets Make It Great!

Random Thoughts Take One!

Still trying to get this book straight I know I over think everything but its just who I am. I remember when I was getting my APT License the instructor told me "  calm down it's not brain surgery"   someone told me that again today..... I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Also All the people monitoring my progress told me I sound & act like a Disney princess, what does that mean.... Is that good or bad?! All I know is I wanna do good & prove to them they made the right choice. I'm excited about the challenge! One of the uppers made the statement your one of those that's going to work the system. My answer was NO, I'm the one that's going to make the system work. I fully understand the expectations of a business owner & understand the passion & dedication one must have to own a successful business. I'm thankful this opportunity has been brought into my life. I think every opportunity helps us grow stronger wiser & ultimately leads us to the person we are meant to be. Nothing is wasted as long as you are learning & growing...

Tonight is one of them nights..... So to heck with it.

There are times to be nice & then there are other times when enough is just enough & you just say to heck with it. Tonight is one of them nights..... So to heck with it. Some people are manipulative insecure people that are unhappy with their circumstances & want others to suffer to. Instead of getting better they just get bitter & want you to join their bitter little world. Those people will never change. You can try to be nice to them but they are who they are. Realize it & walk away. They WILL try to follow and keep up their nonsense just keep walking. They aren't even worth your time. Little people with little dreams, goals or hope in life play games. Don't fall into their twisted web of unhappiness. Take an inventory of all the blessings in your life & turn that frustration into useful energy for the ones who deserve it.

This October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays all in one month. It happens only once in 823 years

I heard this statement on the news this morning my first thought because I was still asleep and hadn't had any coffee yet was "WOW, That is so cool!" After I had a cup of coffee it changed to " Huh that can't be right...." In fact NO it is NOT right....... 
Let’s think about this, a year can only start on one of seven days, so there are seven possible basic calendar years. Add leap years, and there are fourteen basic calendars. Period. And one of those calendars only gets used every 823 years? How would that be possible? It’s not of course, all fourteen calenders get cycled through regularly, in fact 2010 uses the exact same calendar as 1999. That’s eleven years, not 823.

Now it is cool that this month has 10-10-10. Since this date only occurs once a century and the five Fri/Sat/Sun occur only once every 7 or 8 years. Also we had the whole harvest/equinox moon thingy all of which are very cool. Add on top Rangers & My NY Yankees today thats definitely never happened before. This all sets up for a very memorable October.

Finale Point, Go ahead and save your 2010 calendar, it will be good again in these upcoming years:  2021, 2027, 2038, 2049, and 2055. And for future reference, 2066, 2077, 2083, 2094, and 2100.

I'm Ready

I carry my heart on my sleeve my faith on my chest & the weight of the world on my shoulders.I've turned my darkest hour into the brightest light that illuminates my path. Now I'm standing with no fear my heart filled with faith &love going boldly into my future!

Hate Me If You Want To Love Me If You Can!

We build so many walls in the world. Most of those walls are inside of us. We forget who we are & become what others want us to be. Don't be afraid to be yourself. Not everyone will like you & that's ok. Because those meant to be in your life will love you. And love is a lot better than like. Today and every other day just be you. Be who your meant to be grow better, grow strong, grow into the person you wish to be but ALWAYS Be true to yourself! Happy Saturday Friends

It's Just Who I Am

For better or worse what you see is what you get. I'm so tired of dealing with drama filled people who have nothing but negativity sugar-coated with "fakenesses"! I've had about all I can take! I don't care if your having a bad day. If your my friend I'll be there with you. I'll help get you through may even cry along side you. I'll smile with you & if I get mad enough my even curse with you but one thing you'll never see me do is be fake! Bring me what you got flaws & all! That's the only way I accept people. Who they are just as they are. That's just what real friends do. And it's just who I am.

365 Days A year This Is Me

I am amazed by the people who stand on a soap box & proclaim their loyalty & love for Christ but cant seem to align their actions with their words. I'm sorry I don't feel as though I need to shout my love or the depth of it for all to hear. I know they can hear it through my actions. My CONSISTENT actions day after day year after year. I'm not gonna send you a threatening letter cursing you out to the next day act as though the sun shines out of my behind to the rest of the world. For starters I would never do either in the first place. Second I dang sure wouldn't do it then have the audacity to act as though it never happened. I would at very least be embarrassed of my own actions & apologize.  I'm sorry it's just not who I am. If I can't be the way I am in public the way I am in private maybe just maybe I should stop and think, who am I. Do you really know who you are? Can you look in the mirror every day & be proud of yourself your actions & your actions against others. Do you spend your days bringing others down or lifting others up. Do you add value to the word or do you only add drama. Deeds not Words alone that's what people see. No-one cares what you know or say until they know who you are & that you truly care!

Scars Of Life

The reason some scars never fade is because we're meant to always remember the lesson we learned. I love my scars, each one of them tells a story about my past. For me, they represent momentary weakness but long term strength. To me scars are beautiful. It's all Wabi-Sabi Baby!

True Fact

Success is not measured by what you accomplished but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage by which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

To You, You Know Who You Are

I think it's very sad that someone was sitting up at 2:22am trying to figure out how to hack my yahoo, facebook & twitter accounts. I'm sure your nosey little self is on here if your going through that much trouble. Let me just tell you now, you need to worry about creating your own life & find your own happiness & place in the world. I am not that interesting!! Furthermore you will never be able to hack my account & even if you did you would find nothing. Unlike so many people, I realize the depth someone like you would go to trying to hurt another so I do not save my private emails, YIMS or anything else. I can only imagine the strife, bitterness, loneliness and sorrow you must have in your heart to do things like this. I'm sorry for whatever pain your caring with you day to day I would wish that on no-one. I promise you there is a world of happiness & love with your name on it. I hope you find the strength you need to move past whatever is bothering you set your problems down & find peace.

Short & to the point ;-)

Remember, your attitude affects others more than you realize, so don't spread negativity by only focusing on your problems spread hope by focusing on the solutions!

We are all worthy of happy life full of love

Trying to deal with the day to day problems of life can sometimes just seem so overwhelming. The world gets deeper with complications day by day. Even the most positive & blessed people get discouraged. It's not a sickness it's human nature. We are here to support each other and lift each other up. In those moments of sadness and confusion if we are lucky we have friends & loved ones to see us through. Some people are simply not that lucky. And even worse, many are just children. It is each of our responsibility to remember to not just be a human "  being"  & make daily conscious effort to be a Human "  Doing".  Doing something to make a difference, to reach out to those around us, to make the world a better place. We've each been placed here purposefully & there is no such thing as a life not worth it. Because we are all worthy of happy life full of love ✌ღ☺

God will see you through

It's so hard some days to know the one thing you've always wanted is one of the only things you'll never have. You question so much. You wonder what have you done so wrong & why has God forgotten you. In times of weakness your heart breaks. Your mind is lost & can't find a way to understand. There is no answer or comfort in sight. Nothing takes away the pain & nothing makes it better. But you must go on so you breath strength in. With no understanding you continue tried & true knowing God will see you through.

Become the person you are meant to be!

There are things in life we've always longed for but no matter how hard we try we'll just never have. Some things just aren't meant to be. That doesn't mean life has let us down it just means life has a different path than we've imagined for ourselves. Life has so many ups and downs. We achieve greatness to fall straight down to the depth of failure to realize success comes from within. The world can take everything you have & destroy you unless you truly know who you are. Its hard to have all to turn & lose it all & find the strength to fight for it again. But in & through that strength you find yourself. The person you were, the person you are & the person you hope to become. Success is great but teaches you nothing. It's the great failures, the hardest falls the deepest weaknesses that you find yourself. You find the person your meant to be. You'll never know true greatness until you experience failure. When you reach the deepest darkest corners of life your given a gift few will ever receive. You know you can look in the face of evil & you have nothing to fear. Success is a state of mind & a choice. The difference between failure & success is nothing more than the execution of a dream and the fear residing in your heart convincing you your not worthy of greatness. You are here purposefully & with cause. Don't allow your gifts to go wasted. Become all you can be today nothing is standing in your way but you. Move fear aside & with virility take place as the person your meant to be.  You are worthy, you are deserving & you are capable. Become the person you are meant to be!

Strength

We are all a mixture of strength & weakness. It is not weakness that defines your character it is your strength. When you focus on the weaknesses of others your inner being is weak. You must look for the strength in those around you. Once you recognize all-pervading power you'll understand the true depth of strength!

Set Phenomenal Goals

Set Goals that Inspire you. Goals for what you really want in life. Don't let past performance or circumstances dictate your goals. Set goals for your heart's desire. Your History is not you destiny!

To you,

You assume you know the world so well but in its twisted games you've rapidly fell. Yours lies are spun in webs of fear. Your tainted eyes hide what your heart yearns to hear. Love doesn't not find you, it doesn't know your door you've pushed it away to many times before. Oh you who judges all, when will you see the last thing you should worry about is someone like me.

Just Love

One of the most precious things in life is to feel loved, so don't just love the people around you let them know you love them. Give all the love you receive from others back, better yet give more!

My Love

I do not love to be loved but because of love believe in love. I do not love because of what has been done, nor do I wait to love until I get what I want. I will never withdraw my love when days get hard or roads seem long.  And if ever things change & your love should fade I will not forsake the promise I've made. For I am not just another woman in love,
true love lives in me. 

My love is complete. 

My love is unconditional. 

                      My love is evermore!

Forgiveness frees the forgiver much more than the offender

  

Real whole-hearted forgiveness can only take place when you've have been hurt inexcusably. It takes an unconditional forgiveness flowing from unconditional love. We must learn to love unconditionally people who don’t deserve it & forgive them when they do something inexcusable. It's the only way to achieve true peace & freedom from the wrongs others have done and the pain their actions have caused. It's only through true forgiveness that the weight of vengeance is removed from our hearts & mind. When you forgive there is no obligation to carry the hurt, anger, fear or sadness anymore. The act of forgiving is not only one of the most pure acts of love form the forgiver to the offender but also for the forgiver.

Forget the ones that bring you down & embrace the ones that lift you up!

I can't worry about the deceit, insincerity or manipulation that comes from so many. I never waste energy on the people that let me down, if I did I'd be depressed all the time. I just realize who they are & then take the energy being wasted on them & put it toward something or someone deserving of it. Life is to short to not be happy. Forget the ones that bring you down & embrace the ones that lift you up.

Walk By Faith

Just like a beautiful rose growing in a garden we must grow stronger & dig through the thorns before anyone will ever see us bloom. We can't get stronger when everything is perfect so sometimes we've gotta deal with problems beyond our control. Sometimes really bad things happen to really good people. And it's just not fair. But always remember, Its not the things that happen to us in life that defines us. No, they are merely things that have happened. It's how you move forward that defines you. You are brand new in every moment. You have new thoughts, new emotions, new dreams and new ways of seeing life. Open your heart to the love & light around you especially in those tough moments and allow that love & hope to carry you through. And if you can't see it walk by faith & it will find you.

Don't Tell Me, Show Me!

I love my life & the people in it. Even on " bad"  days I'm blessed beyond measure & am fully aware of the gifts God has placed before me! It is through the love of God I have found pure grace to boldly live my life & not only dream but have the courage and convictions to relentlessly chase & achieve anything my heart desires. I don't need to stand on a soap box and preach to those I know. I hope & truly pray those who know me can see the love I have found in God in my day to day actions. I would far rather my deeds be a testament of my faith. I have found daily actions are far more powerful than mere words ♥

This is YOUR life do it big & do it now!

Yesterday is gone! So is everything that's been holding you back unless YOU decide to let it affect you. Forget the excuses. Forget about waiting for the perfect moment. Now is the time to get started! Not tomorrow, not this afternoon, not ten minutes from now, NOW! There is no time better than now to be who you've always wanted to be. Dream the big dreams, reach for the stars, set yourself on the path of success. This is YOUR life do it big & do it now!

Smile & Laugh your way through obstacles

Smile & Laugh your way through obstacles. Nothing in life worth having is easy. Life gets hard & sometimes days just suck. But you gotta take the good with the bad & the happy with the sad. We would never truly appreciate the good if that's all we ever had. You have to feel the truth of pain to fully understand the beauty of happiness.

The Perfection in Imperfection

The imperfections in life is what makes the journey so beautiful. Don't look down on or past them embrace & accept them. You might not have planned for the path your own but your on it for a reason. It could be simply to bring beauty & love to those around you. To learn, teach, or maybe so someone can find you. Whatever the reason God put you right where you are purposefully. What could you be missing by simply not seeing the perfection in imperfection?

Today - allow yourself to make mistakes. The fear of not getting it perfect is one of the major blockers to success that there is. The fear of a bad or unwanted outcome stops you from actually getting started.

 

My life really opened when after I read an Ralph Waldo Emerson quote that said, "All life is an experiment, the more experiments you make the better".

 

Take the seriousness out of the outcome. Take the negative stress out of the process and see life, projects, relationships and everything you do as a giant creative experiment.

 

Seeing life this way will take away the fearful "negative" outcomes and not getting it "perfect" and finally let you open up and start living your life from your creative center.

 

You weren't born to get it perfect. You were born to live and learn and express your gifts to the world. The most important part is getting started and letting yourself learn and mess up.

 

Celebrate that you are on the path and don't be concerned with the outcome. Be in the process and work on improving daily and know it's perfect to be imperfect.

Enemy of Love

The other great enemy of love is fear. Fear contracts the heart. It's worries & anxieties stop the flow of love. Do we really want to live in fear?

Just Be You

Nothing you can possibly do can make someone love you more than they naturally will. You can change everything about you but if they don't love YOU they never will. Be yourself! Strive to be the very best you can be because you a worth nothing less! Someone who loves you is going to love you, ALL of you! They will love you for everything you are, everything your not, and everything you hope to become. Don't change you to be with someone. Change you because in your heart you know that is what your meant to be. God has a plan for each of us. Follow your path. Be true to yourself. Those who really love you will be there cheering you on the whole way. Love doesn't judge! Love doesn't hold back. Love doesn't limit. Love is always and forever and limitless. Don't be afraid to say who you are. You are perfect as you are and will grow ever more beautiful in the light of love. Just be you because a true friend would never want or ask for anything more! ~ Mytaege


I'm sharing this again because I think new friend really needs these words today! Please always remember the people we meet in life may Complement us but no one else can Complete us. If there is something missing in your life emotionally you must look inside yourself to find the answer. Finding happiness in someone else is only a temporary solution if you don't have true happiness within. Have faith in yourself & know you are good enough. When the right person comes along you won't have to tell them they will tell you. They will accept & love you for who you are just as you are. They will believe in you more than you've ever believed in yourself. They will make you want to be a better person because all they see is the very best that you are. Your flaws & wrongs as you see them will not matter in their eyes because to them it's part of what makes you exquisite. The right person will never ask you to change nor would that want you to because to them your beautiful just the way you are.

The Powerful

Few among us are confident enough in our selves to not treat others like trash or to allow others to trash us. To look past the normal manipulative mindset the world has become accustomed to. Few of us have the strength to stand up for whats right. The voice to speak, but the wisdom to know when silence is more important. Those who have strength accompanied by wisdom & grace to walk through life they are the powerful!

If We Are the Body

We are always so hard on each other. Worried about our own problems we forget that everyone around us has their own battles they are going through. If we simply reached out to one another and extended a hand to help the world would be a much better place. It's hard to dwell on your own problems when you helping someone... else. If all you do is smile and hug someone today start with that. We should all be helping each other & having an attitude of gratitude! And if you ever need me to lend a hand just reach out that's why God put me here ;-)

******Public Service Announcement******

Yesterday is over and gone. Let all problems, strife, bitterness, anger, or any other burden that is holding you back go today! Don't let the problems of yesterday keep you from becoming your very best today. Don't wait! There is no time like the NOW to start a new! Don't wait for other people to do it first. Start with you & those around you will follow. It takes someone to break the cycle. Will you stand and be that someone? I know I' standing, stand with me!

Your intended for greatness!!

Each challenge in life makes us stronger & appreciate life a little bit more. You'll never know how strong you truly are if your never brought to your weakest & fight to get back to the top. We're never given more than we are capable of not " overcoming"   but fighting though & coming out victoriously! God only gives the strongest & most worthy the toughest challenges in life! Why? Because your intended for greatness!!

Made me smile, laugh & cry all at the same time. I LOVE THIS ♥

I Love This Nothing Could Be More True! An Amazing Man An Amazing Testament of True Strength!!

Short & Sweet

Live your life being happy! Never waste time or energy worrying about what other people think of you. Spend your energy on the ones worth it, the ones you love that love you in return✌ღ☺

The greatest gift I was ever given

It's truly awesome how life works. All of a sudden one day you wake-up & all the pain & hurt that was ever there is gone & you just feel true acceptance & love. Been that way for a while & I love it. It's nice waking up knowing your days are just going to get better. It took a true friend to open my eyes & heart and bring me back to life from within. Life is good when you love others & they love you but you can never truly appreciate it until you truly LOVE YOURSELF. So tonight around a year of my"Awakening" I'm gonna party & celebrate & know I'll never way any other way again. The greatest gift I was ever given was buy the person who taught me how to love trust & accept myself ♥

L'amore è uno dei gioielli più rari della vita, tesoro l'amore con tutto il tuo cuore

.L'amore è uno dei gioielli più rari della vita, tesoro l'amore con tutto il tuo cuore. Quando si trova qualcuno che ti ama così come sei, è salda nei momenti di stress, disposti a crescere con voi e vi permette di sentire comunque si sceglie di stare in qualsiasi momento - non vi è nulla di più si potrà mai trovare in una persona. Hai trovato il Vero Amore, quando ti senti la paura, la paura di vulnerabilità, la paura di abbandono e la paura di lasciare andare la propria caparbia modelli egoica che mantengono il vero è separato e al sicuro da altri. La fiducia nell'amore e andare verso la tua paura, di assumere questo atto di fede l'Amore richiede per la con ricompensa dolce ღ

Troppo tardi, come al solito..

Ti ho dato il mondo, ma girava troppo veloce perchè te ne accorgessi...
Ti ho dato la luna, ma era troppo statica per suscitarti un'emozione...
Ti ho portato una stella, ma brllava troppo per i tuoi occhi semisocchiusi...
Alla fine ti ho dato tutta me stessa, 

e mi hai detto che ormai era tardi e non é piu' quello che vuoi

Forgive such a small word

Often we refuse to forgive others because we mistakenly think that to do so is to minimize their sin.... “And that’s not fair! He really hurt me. If I forgive, who’s going to care for me and take up my cause and nurse my wounds?” God is. We must never buy into the lie that to forgive means that sin is being whitewashed or ignored or that the perpetrator is not being held accountable for his/her actions. It simply means we consciously choose to let God be the one who determines the appropriate course of action in dealing justly with the offending person… To long for justice is entirely legitimate, but to seek it for yourself is not. Let God deal with the offender in his own way at the appropriate time. He’s much better at it than your or I.

A life worth living is worth the fight!

When we are brought into this world God blesses us with the family that will help construct the heart & soul that will carry us through life. He knows who we are & what we can take. He knows our highest highs & lowest lows. My grandma always told me "Baby your going to be the best, God's got his eyes on you" She always told me God only gave the strongest & most worthy the toughest challenges in life."Only the Angels he could count on" I love my Lovey!! She put something deep inside of me from a very young age that can never be taken away no matter what happens! When life gets hard I know God's working to make me the best I can be! Life may never be easy & to be honest I hope it never is. A life worth living is worth the fight!

Those I call friends

I believe there is a difference between a pretty woman and a phenomenal woman. Pretty women there are many, we cross paths with them everyday. A pretty woman may turn every head when she walks into a room but when you get to know her to know whats in her heart and mind what are her intentions do you find her to only be pretty? Or do you find that she is more than just a pretty face. We are all judged, more often than not most harshly judged buy ourselves. I look at the women in my life all different, all unique, all exquisite, all beautifully made & I know those I call friends are all not only pretty but they are ALL phenomenal women. I am truly blessed and grateful for each and every one of them 

Live without regret!!!!!!!

The only thing in life worse than failure is regret. When it is all said and done we will not look back and regret loving hard, or forgiving to much. We will not regret the things we have done. We will only regret the things we never had the courage to do. You can learn alot more from loss than you can through victory. So always do your very best to Dream Big & Live Large. Live everyday without regret. Help those in need. Love those around you especially those who anger you. Live each and every day to the fullest and as it truly were your last. This is the performance of our lives, not a dress rehearsal.

To those in my life thank you for being you!!!

Be Happy

Life is to short to be anything but happy. Smile at every person you cross paths with. Help others even if it doesn't benefit you & remember everyone has their own battles there dealing with so give each other a break.

What Is A Frienemy

1.)A "toxic" person who poses as a friend but subconsciously or consciously wishes you harm.

2.)A person who you treat and whom treats you as a friendbut if they are given a chance would "cut your throat" or get one over on you/put themselves first if it would benifit themselves, or they would gain an advantage over you. Similar to an enemy.

3.)An enemy who uses friendship to conceal their attacks.

4.)A low self-esteemed person who gets close to others for social gain, money,to steal.

5.)A enemy disguised as an friend; an enemy pretending to be a friend

6.)Someone who's guts you hate allconsumingly and bitterly but with which you also have highly fascinating and fulfilling conversations with.

7.)The type of "friend" whose words or actions bring you down.(whether you realize it as intentional or not) The type of friend you ought to cut off but don't cuz they're nice good you've had good times with them. U know they're good people that you can count on to bring you down again sometime in the near future.The friend you may or may not have cornered about their quicksand like ways and keep around because "its in the past"...and so was one minute ago. The person that will continue to bring you down until you demand better for yourself.

8.)A "friend" a "bad friend" who cares only about themselves. A friend who gets their way no matter the cost, and who they step on along the way. One might stay in a "frenemy" situation because they are fearful of this person. Also known as a toxic friendship.

Long story short a frienemy is a person with whom you may have a lot of fun and/or a lot in common, who also has a vile and random dark side. These relationships are worth doing a cost/benefit analysis on. Also, limiting relationships with frenemies to non-SO relationships is a must. Why? Because it’s ultimately all about them after all, and you will need to be in a position to get away from them for indefinite periods of time.  If this happens, don‘t expect everyone to get it—some will wonder why this person enrages you so much and others will wonder what you see in them.It is recommended for your own safety/sanity that you limit yourself to one frenemy at any given time in your life. I personaly think if you have one ride yourself. Life is to short to waste on fake people with fake intentions and ulterior motives.Surround yourself with love and nourishment and do not allow the creation of negativity in your environment.

Advice to a friend

We all mess up, I do daily sometimes all day and I hope when I do people forgive me with the same measure I forgive them. Remember no one can upset you or make you unhappy without your permission. You can't control what people do but you can control how you react. You can't let people in life bother you. There will always be someone there more than happy to knock you down and steal your happiness. Don't ever let them. No matter who they are. God didn't put you on this earth to be unhappy. The best way to deal with them is just be nice. That is the very best cure for a jerk. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort ;~) I promise!!!!! 

We all get what we give

We all get what we give. I never seek to get even with anyone, EVER! I know God's justice is far better than mine could ever be. I have faith in him & those I love. And I know those meant to be in my life will always be in my life. I'm in my thirties not my twenties I don't buy into these high school games. I know everything in life happens for a reason & even in tough spots keep safe in my heart that God always has my best interest at heart. I stay in his light & everything will work out for the best. The right thing is far from the most popular & sometimes a very hard lonely path. I'm true to my heart. And I love those around me enough to make them be true to theirs! Part of loving yourself means accepting every part of your you, the light and the dark. We are a wonderful amalgamation of love, spirit, thoughts, emotions, good habits, bad habits, personality quarks, dreams and intentions. To deny any part of that is to deny the miracle that is you. Freedom and happiness come when you give up the illusion of trying to be perfect so you can finally just be yourself. I am myself always! Those that love me love that! Those that truly love me I don't need to worry about they will always be there when the dust settles from a storm. Those who I can't see simply weren't meant to be!

What life's about.

Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've known, know now, or haven't known at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, what you drive, or how much money you make. It's not about your shoes, bags or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to church. In fact, it's not about status, money, clothes, or sexuality. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life's about.

I know that the end do not justify the means. Because there are no ends, there are only means.

I know that the end do not justify the means. Because there are no ends, there are only means. Life carries me from unknown to unknown. Each moment is filled with this thrilling mystery. I don't know where I came from nor where I am going. But I am not here by chance. And I am overjoyed by surprises and excited by landscapes that I have never seen before. I often feel afraid, but that is normal. I make many, many mistakes, more than I can count, but I cant waste my time blaming myself for my rash actions nor do spend my life forgiving myself for all the wrong I have done doing that would never set me back on my right path. My bad decisions left me scars. I'm proud of the scars in my soul. They remind me that I have an intense life. I love life and love always transforms

Its only begun

The thing about life that I've learned is that you're going to get hurt. You're going to have emotional nights and cry yourself to sleep for hours. You're going to suffer some kind of heartbreak, some kind of loss. But you will also have those moments where you heal. Those moments are the best. You feel like your smile for the first time again. You feel like you're alive again. Life just.. restarts

Never give up on those you love & never give up on yourself!

Life is a beautiful journey full of ups & downs. Its a high price we pay sometimes for our life experiences. Don’t ever take experiences for granted. The things we learn the greatest lessons from are most often not the moments of perfection. Temporary pain, temporal distractions & bad choices can still lead to long term happiness. If we only search inside ourselves & find the lessons meant to be learned. There's a high price to pay to become our absolute best & find true joy! The key is to never give up, never give up on your dreams, never give up on those you love & never give up on yourself!

Life is a beautiful journey

When you are trying so hard to be the person that you think everyone wants you to be, it is difficult to separate that from who you really are. It is a lot of work to become yourself, and the discovery can be both exciting, and rather frightening. I spent so much of my life wearing a smiling mask, being the good girl, the quiet and complacent girl who would never make waves. That is still part of who I am at times, but I can use my voice. I'm no longer drowning in the fear. I'm not as afraid to ask for what I want, and can acknowledge that I have needs. I don't beat up on myself near as much as I used to, and I find myself challenging the negative self talk more often than not. The beliefs about ourselves that we form when we are young are so often what we carry with us into adulthood, and it is difficult to let go of those beliefs. I internalized everything, blaming myself for things that I never had any control over in the first place. The thoughts of a child are so simple, and I wanted everyone around me to be happy, and I thought if I could be good and perfect, I could make that happen. I'm realizing that I'm not responsible for the happiness of others. I'm only responsible for my own. My job is to be the best me that I can be. We all have gifts and strengths, but those often get buried in self doubt, and we focus on our weaknesses. I'm trying to embrace my soul and the truth of who I am, accepting my flaws, changing and learning everyday. Life is a beautiful journey if we choose to look at it that way.

The heartless are lifeless, if you want more love, it’s going to start with you giving it out, sharing more of your love, that is.

Some people claim to be listening to their heart but few recognize how it speaks. Your heart will speak in terms of: be loving, forgiving, kind, all good, and it won't tell you otherwise. The heart was not designed to speak negative. Your heart will speak of your needs; while your flesh will speak of your wants. The heart speaks volumes.

Wanting something because it makes you feel good is bound to fade away, but your heart knows exactly what you need, what's good for you; actually, it will recognize if it’s real. It's not fair to blame your heart for the actions you asked for, your heart did not lead you there, your lack of listening to it did.

In order to remember what you truly deserve, you have to forget what you want, but not knowing what you deserve, you’ll never be able to get it. The heartless are lifeless, if you want more love, it’s going to start with you giving it out, sharing more of your love, that is.

Its just that easy

This is how we go on: one day at a time, one dream at a time, one pain at a time, one breath at a time. You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other and  you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you dig deep inside find courage & continue living… until the next dream, the next breath, the next pain. This is how we go on. That’s how I’ve done it. There’s no other way
