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?

In search of magic

She told me something was missing. Not a spark or a twinkle Not a light or a star Not a fire or an ember My magic was missing. The very thing that allowed me to create the me I wanted to be, had long gone missing He took it, I said, and I want it back! I want it all back. Slowly she felt it returning- but she had to figure how to use it again. Never again would she let someone steal her magic. Never again would she freely give of her magic. Never again would she take for granted the magic that was given to her as her prized possession. And when she said it- she felt it- the magic she once knew had returned and oh how it had grew. It was undeniable, unimaginable- she realized that the magic was her, she had never left- she had only forgotten due to his curse. She realized what she had forgotten; she had placed her magic safely on a shelf far, far away from what she called her heart. Hidden from all others, even herself- because she was too weak to control it ...

Where has time gone....

It is almost 2018 already and I have yet to post my last few trips but tonight I didn't want to talk about my trips, my goals, or any of that. I just want to share my candid thoughts. As I reflect on the last year, I am saying to myself- I never imagined I could be this happy in a relationship, this satisfied in life, this comfortable with my own thoughts. I am thankful for my family and the new friends he has placed in my life. I was challenged with change this year and now it's about to be 2018.... I guess what I want to say is accept the changes that life has for you. Enjoy moments, laugh, cry, be comfortable in your in skin and if your not be confident in your decision to change it. There is so much you all don't know that I don't have time to share tonight but given my new take on life blogging is back, books are back, wine never left and bae is good. I'm just really happy to be happy right now.

Falling in LOVE

In life, you have to take the pace that love goes. You don't force it. You just don't force love, you don't force falling in love, you don't force being in love - you just become. I don't know how to say that in English, but you just feel it. Juan Pablo Galavis Life is never what you expect it to be. I caught myself this week being the girl I always have been, the hopeless romantic..... Just how hopeless am I? A Walk to Remember, I cry the entire movie- not because she dies- beacause he loves her UNCONDITIONALLY. I cry so hard I get a headache. I digress.  What happened? I had a bad day and I needed a drink, an outlet of some kind. Of course on these type of days none of my friends are ever available. Usually, I just curl up, cry it out, drink wine and eat pizza.  Not this day, I went to Marianos and had a drink by myself and cried a bit lol. Drinks were good and should have been for 11buck a pop! But then, he, my prince charming came to my aid.  He had so man...
