Life is Great Right...?

So life is great.... good job, great apartment, good car, all my family, able to travel leisurely, not broke, finding myself...... but something is missing.


Transparency:
 I am sitting in my living room- not wanting to my watch my usual on either Netflix or Hulu. Not quite depressed but teetering this fine line of questioning all that I am. Why can I not have everything I want...why must I wait for Mr. Right? So I sound like a spoiled 3 year old... oh well, that is just where I am in life right now. Maybe it hormones or maybe its the process.

 I have a bestfriend who had a baby and then got married... she seems happy... The other bestfriend has her kids to go home to and what do I have? My great job, quiet apartment and wine......but positive breeds positive right? So I shop.... I shop to fill the missing pieces of my life... clothing and shoes never worn to make me feel better. Catch me at my shoe store tomorrow off Preston... Just FYI

Cannot smoke weed... yeah promised Jesus back in 2009 I would not go back down that road, I think about it A LOT but no... so no green for me and I am ok with that.

Cannot go be promiscuous and transfer spirits and bodily fluids with a total stranger or an ex.... yeah I am scared for one, two- told Jesus I would wait upon him and if he got me to January I could then pray to make it to July... waiting and working remember....not 100% ok with that.. but waiting.

Cannot keep shopping- 90.00 at Ross, 60.00 at Forever21, 30 more at Ross, 50.00 at Ulta, 20.00 at half price, 100.00 out to eat, 100.00 on wine, and even bought a new tire and sensor 180.00 (I needed it right or nah) and going shoe shopping tomorrow- just wanted to emphasize that.. the first step to recovery is acknowledgement- yes I have a problem and yes I will be catering to that problem tomorrow... need some new boots it got cold over the weekend!! (justification, satisfaction)

Read... yeah not focused. TV.... yeah not focused  Workout... did it felt good for like a hour and back down.... Eat... no that will really be a bad decision lol

I feel stuck.. no decision can be made and no where to turn and then he says "Be still and know that I am God." Yeah but I cant see you and that is hard for my little human mind to comprehend you are here and I believe you are here but where?

Why do I feel less than when you promised me more? Why do I feel like a fish out of water? Where is my place in this life? I feel like I am going in circles but life is great, right? Why did I choose books over boys, passion over comfort, peace over drama- where did it get me? Oh yeah my great apartment, with my great job and great life right?

Sips Wine.

Feeling a little better at least I am not crying anymore... (I am a crybaby, ask about me)

Stay safe this NYE... remember buzzed driving is drunk driving.

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
