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?

Taking Opportunities: It Takes A Man, Male Initiative Program, Inc.

This weekend I had the joy and honor of hosting the Launch Party for "ITM" Dallas. This initiative is a mentoring program geared towards young minority males to provide them with an outlet to be themselves and find their purpose in life. This program is not like others where I call you 1x week and maybe show up to a few games. It is about giving and receiving what you need to succeed.  The premise of the program is to not only mentor young men but for those same young men to then become mentors for a lifetime. The level of accountability is unsurpassed. As a mentee- I can mess up and maybe slack on my goals a little because someone (my mentor) is there to guide me, but once I become a mentor- someone else is now depending on me to be their guide and I now have a true empathy and understanding for their plight as a mentee- because I was there. It is genius. Consistency is the goal and we are committed to changing the world- 1 life at a time. Successful launch party on 10...

What are REFINED CARBS-?

REFINED CARBOHYDRATES AND PURIFIED SUGARS found this on the internet- at diagnosisdiet.com What are Refined Carbohydrates? It is actually easier to define which carbohydrates are NOT refined, because the term “refined” is very confusing. ALL sugars and starches, EXCEPT those that come in the form of a natural whole food like a piece of fruit, a Lima bean, or a sweet potato, are considered refined carbohydrates. If you are looking at a sweet or starchy whole food that you could come across exactly as is in nature, you are looking at an UNrefined carbohydrate. Refined carbohydrates are forms of sugars and starches that don’t exist in nature. They do come from natural whole foods, but they have been altered in some way by processing to “refine” them. Processing methods include industrial extraction, concentration, purification, and enzymatic transformation. It’s easy for most of us to identify sugars, because they taste sweet and usually come in the form of crystals, s...
