Still floating through my 30s...

Hey guys, started a new blog:

Focusing on showing up to life. Something I realized I need to do much more of. Hope you enjoy!

Side tracked...

How easily we get side tracked in life. I can't believe next week will be May already. I also can't believe I haven't written a blog post since January. We are nearing the half point in the year and I am no where near where I should be. Where did the time go? I had big plans that should be half way to fruition. Life is what happened. Unexpected people, places, events. Things pull you off course and you forget to get back on. Sometimes it seems we get pulled off the path in order to gain the weapons we will need for the rest of the journey. Well, I'm suited up and ready to go. Brand new iMac and all. My new blog is still in the works thanks to great advice from great people in my life who don't even know they gave it. Love you all. For those on you on the same path I am, and you know who you are, let's get it.

New beginnings

So I know it's been a minute. And how things can change in just a few months. My 33rd birthday was this past Friday and I had a ball partying with my friends all weekend. It's Monday and we are snowed in (yes in Atlanta.) Guess I needed some time with nothing to do but think. I'm at the age where you really start to examine your life. I have had several conversations with friends who are realizing they are not where they thought they should be in life but also realize they are exactly where they are supposed to be. Where do we go from here? That is up to us. This will be a big year. I have a new blog coming soon that will take you on the journey with me. I've been gone too long. I'm back in business. This year my life will be an open book, so if you are a part of my life, you have officially been warned. Happy New Year. Cheers.

Blinders

Sometimes I look around and almost lose hope. It seems so many of us are operating with full blinders on. Why are we so afraid to see the truth? Why are we so inclined to lie to ourselves about our reality. It is because we would then be forced to actually do something about it? Stand up to it? Be the ones who initiate change? You must first be aware of your true reality before you can change it. In the past week, I have been instilled with new hope. I am seeing our young people rise up and start to tackle the things that live beyond the blinders. Seeing this is beautiful. I see where our world is headed and we will need this generation to be fearless and full of hope. It's the only way true change will ever transpire.

The Good Life

The past 2 weeks have been crazy. My beliefs have been challenged. My faith has been tested along with my patience. I've had some new amazing people enter my life and a few leave (or at least take a time out.) I've been shocked by people close to me I didn't think could shock me. I've come to terms with things I have been struggling with. But the result is a clearer vision of my future and purpose, even more appreciation for the special people in my life and greater love for myself. I am truly blessed and full of gratitude for the life I live. All of it, the good and the bad, is what makes it so beautiful.

Peace, be still.

I've read a lot of books over the last year. Books on the law of attraction and the power of thought. Books on belief and believing. Books on setting goals, planning and taking control of your own life. As you know, I've been in a growing stage. Through all the books, reflection, prayers and meditation I have learned a valuable lesson - to be still. I've spent so much of my life going all of the time. Working multiple jobs, juggling multiple responsibilities, missing sleep. I admit that I'm still always on go, but I've learned to take moments each day, be still and listen to what life is telling me. It's amazing what opens up to you when you learn to be still. In stillness, God speaks.

Simple

Today's post will be short and sweet and will sum up my life at the moment : Grateful.
