Life from my view

When Someone Shows You Who They Are.. Believe Them The First Time- Maya Angelou I took this to heart today when reflecting over my life choices and why things turned out the way they did. It was brought to my attention by my younger, middle brother that I am all too quick to cut off people. WHEN they do one thing I am like NOPE, DONE. This is a trait that I know I have and I have always viewed it as both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I cut the bull at the beginning. A curse because some people deserve another chance. It is one of those gray areas in my life that I try so hard to color in or make clear. But the real reason why that quote resonated with me is becuase there was a time in my life, these past 4 years, that I tried to not be the person who cuts others off. I tried it and it failed. This quote is true and will forever be true especially when it comes to humans. Rarely do people change to suit others. Self is always more important than others. When others tr...

So it is week one of my Jenny Craig... the food is good but mannn I still be hungry. My best friend and I are on a mission though to get healthy and happy and this is the first step in that journey.

So, I am somewhat back on the dating scene and God I did not realize how being in tune with yourself can open your eyes to everything! the past, present and future. My mother has always told me that it would take a VERY strong and patie...

Today's sermon is entitled WHY THO?  Many of you may be wondering where I am going with this... Well just stay with me. Not too long ago, it was brought to my attention that a person seems to have an unending issue with me to which they have no sound reasoning. When asked why they feel or think this way about me- the answer is trivial or silence ensues. So, I pondered and prayed upon it and the answer that I got was astounding. God said they are jealous and I asked Why Tho? Jealous of me? I ain't got nothing that they don't have. Then a conversation I had with my mother years ago when I was in middle school came to mind. Backstory being -I have always been sort of a loner- I had my close circle and that was it (No New Friends) Not that I did not want more friends, I just chose them wisely.
