Knowing Yourself

I will dive directly into this one. No quote, no pictures to relate to.

How well do you know yourself? What are your wants and needs? What are you willing to compromise on? Are you a leader? Are you a listener? What do you believe in? What are your standards? Who affects you? What are your priorities? What makes you, YOU? What is your love language? How do you communicate? What are your flaws in your own eyes? Are you willing to change? What do you want your life to look like? What legacy will you leave behind? What is your plan? Who do you love? What are your fears.

These are all questions that you answer through self evaluation. The past few months have been time for me to self evaluate, make some changes, try some new things, make some decisions, walk away from situations, stand on my own, learn life lessons and let my voice be heard.

Well, I know myself pretty well now. I know that from now on I cannot compromise my being for temporary satisfaction. I am a wonderful listener.. not much of a talker until I become passionate about a topic. My family affects me profoundly- the loyalty I have to my mother/father is unrelenting, the love I have for my baby sister surpasses all and if worst came to worse my family is who I lean on in my time of need. Education is super important to me, however at this time I am not passionate about it... it is just a part of my life. My love language is giving... I will give my last in terms of money, food, emotional support and self- I usually give until I realize I am hurting myself in always giving and not taking time to care for my needs. I believe in Christ and his promise...My God will come through always. I believe in his Sabbath as the 7th day, he died for you and me.  I fear being alone, never being a mother and never finding my purpose in life (Which is why I am reading "The Purpose Driven Life") My flaws are my stubborness  (to a point) my obsession with image and my indecisiveness. I have little ears, curly hair and big feet- things I would change about myself but I appreciate lol.  I want to be successful, feel and be loved, receive what it due to me and be surrounded by positive vibes and people who push me to do more and try new things, I want to travel the world and meet people from all walks of life. I want God to be pleased with the decisions that I FINALLY make and I want to learn to play an instrument. I want to continue to be a giver and encourager; however, I  also want that one person who does for me what I do for everyone else. I love my family and close friends- I once loved a guy but he loved someone else. I want to leave a legacy of love and giving behind- I want others to say that when it counted I was always there- that although I did not say much my actions spoke for me- that I smiled a lot and laughed even more, that I loved my family and made a difference in their life. I love to read, I love to write, I am a natural born leader, I have a smart mouth and quiet spirit. When I do make a decision it is final. I am unwavering in whatever I set my mind and mouth to do. If I say I am going to do it I will move heaven and earth to make it happen. I love music, I love dance, I love wine, I love Law and Order. Who Am I? I am Me, I am love, I am learning, I am God's child, I am family oriented, I am single, I am fun, I am real, I am flawed, I am goofy, I am addicted to shopping, I am quiet, I am stubborn, I am the light, I am honest, I am outspoken, I am sneaky, I am positive, I am simple, I am woman, I am unrelenting, I am strong, I am emotional, I am independent, I am needy, I am giving, I am busy, I am bored, I am appreciative, I am competitive, I am hope, I am happy. I am just me... and I am trying to be the best me for me.

Who are YOU?

Single But Ready: Greater is Coming

So I am up doing some grass roots research into pursuing some passions of mine... hair and fashion.  While texting a guy who is interested in me. And it hit me. I am ready to date again! Finally. Lordt I thought I was going to be stuck in that negative stage forever! By the way the title of this post is inspired by a podcast that I listened to- that helped get me through entitled: Single But READY.. check it out it is eye opening. So if you read some of my post from the August/September period you will note the harping of the breakup and my efforts to rebound date. Well I never wrote about my perspective of trying to rebound date. Let us just say it was horrible. I truly do not recommend trying to rebound date, while being celibate and on the tail ends of a heartbreak... Nothing good comes from Nazareth right? HA.. ok. Basically as I sat here thinking back to that time period I was sooo negative. Negative Nancy welcome to the party. These guys were showing genuine interest in me an

The importance of boundaries

As I sit here in DFW international airport reading "Don't Settle For Safe" by Sarah Jakes Roberts, I am compelled to write on the importance of setting boundaries. Boundaries keep us safe. Safety is a primary foundational component of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Basically, we need boundaries at our core in order to survive. Relationships are one of the hardest areas of our lives to create and maintain boundaries. Why is this? Our need for acceptance tugs at our inner being to disregard the natural boundaries that our conscience created for us. Whatever it may be- friends, significant others, parents or siblings we want to be accepted. But at what cost do we pursue acceptance? As I have grown and matured in all things called life, I realized that I had created boundaries that were too loose as well as disregarded others all together. I had to realign myself to think in terms of boundaries when approaching any situation. Here are a few of the questions I asked myse
