Twenty-two!

I'm back from hiatus - permanently this time. New Year, New Beginnings. I got to work this morning and the first quote I saw was:

"It's never too late to become the person you might have been." - George Elliot

What a great quote. Life is short, but amazing if you make it that way. This is the year that will change everything. I have a lot of plans and continue to be grateful for the abundance of blessings I already have. To all my peeps- it’s our time- let’s get it.

Happy Birthday to me. I love you. :)

On the horizon...

I know, I know I have been sporadic at best with my posts lately. But that will soon change. Big things on the horizon. Walking by faith and not by sight....stay tuned.

Conqueror

They say the enemy goes at you full force when you are on the right path to victory. Life has been better than good lately, then the pavement beneath me fell apart. Typically, this would be the part of the story where I would get stressed, cause more negative things to happen and end up being mad at the world. But instead, I realized that was exactly what the enemy was hoping for so I laughed in his measly face. I'm untouchable. I wear an armour called FAITH. Nothing can take me off path this time around and I make sure every morning when I wake up that I give thanks for that blessing.

L.I.F.E

I know my posts lately have been sporadic at best. L.I.F.E has recently done a few somersaults and back- hand- springs . The result is a full fledged period of growth. My purpose is revealing itself to me and it's slowing beginning to make perfect sense. That is usually how it goes, huh? Been staring me in the face all along. It took one very special person, one very emotional/painful/self - evaluating/honest night to turn everything around for me. Sometimes you have to get shook up to let loose of those things that bind you. Well, I had my martini moment and came out the other end in a much better place.

Instincts

Sometimes we ignore those slight warning signs. Little feelings that are trying to tip us off. Keep us from going down that path. Our own wants keep us moving forward not realizing that our wants may be completely opposite from what we really need. Just when you think everything has finally fallen in place and you can woosah...you get an unsuspecting blow that knocks you off your feet. Oh well, time to get back up again.

Beyond Rollercoasters...

You often hear the saying: Life is like a rollercoaster... Well I have realized life is an experience that goes way beyond rollercoasters. Maybe life is more like a tornado. Sometimes things come and seem to destroy everything. Othertimes you seem the storm coming and it jumps right over you leaving everything in tact. Maybe, there are times in life when we are supposed to get rid of everything to make room for the abundance of blessings coming our way. Othertimes, we are supposed to be still and pay attention. Who knows. What I do know is that today is full of sunshine and I will make the most of the beautiful weather and the blessings this day holds.

Days go by...

Days go by so quickly. Soon the days turn into weeks, the weeks into months and the months into years. You stand there looking back wondering what you have done with all of the time. Why you are only in the place you are and not where you thought you would be. There comes a time when you realize that life has a time limit. It doesn’t last forever. You begin to judge your choices, become aware of your regrets. You begin to look at your future in a different light. Your experiences turn into lessons. You begin to cherish the moments, the hours. The time spent with your loved ones. The time you wish you would have spent with them when they are gone. You look for the meaning, the purpose in it all. You try to figure out why nothing has gone as planned. You become stronger, smarter. You make better plans, while still living for each day. You don’t want to waste anymore time, you have wasted enough as it is. Some people get caught up in the regrets, the mistakes. Others learn from them and move on. In the end there are only two categories: those who look back at a life of regrets and beg for more time and those who look back on a life fulfilled. Which will you be?
