Life from my view

What comes to mind when I think of LOVE... well first Diggy Simmons song you're my 4 letter word (Jamming) Love is new for me, not really, but really. I am ready for the all encompassing, all enduring love. Life is not always perfect but I feel that it can and will last forever. We hear so many opinions on what love should look like and how it should feel but it is a personal battle. I want committment, compassion, endurance, faith, hope, knowledge, communication and acceptance. I am so ready to promise my all, to feel as though I am that person- my other half. I know what it is to be in like, to be in lust- but I have never given my ALL to one person. I know myself and I have always held back a portion of myself for fear of failing at love. At 25 I am now ready to hand it all over and say here I am. What keeps me from loving? Fear. Why am I scared? I have no idea. So today, I am jumping head first, maybe feet first- well it does not matter. I am jumping all in- into LOVE. ...

This quote is hanging in my living room right now as a reminder to myself that I am the creator of my own destiny. God gave us choices and it is up to me to decide what I will do with my life. We have so many self help books, dvd's, podcast and everything else that we forget to look within. When we step away from our phones, reality tv, and social media we will then be able to focus on the real that is within us. We lose ourselves to relationships, careers, education and life in general. It is time to start looking within for all that you need without. I once told a friend that she had to find herself outside of all the titles- find herself without being a daughter, sister, mom, friend, girlfriend- who are YOU and you alone? What is life? Who decides? Life is what you make it! We have a saying now that says " oh these shoes are giving me life" or "this food is giving me life." Life for me is trying to live holy, traveling, helping others, making money, havin...

The Problem.... It is hard to let go of something you have had for so long. The saying goes, " If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they’re yours; if they don’t they never were." But what time frame is it that we are supposed to stick to and how long do you wait on someone who may not even love you?   I have read over a zillion articles, magazines and blogs in regards to relationships and how to know they love you, what to do to keep a man, how to please him and the list can go on and on..... For some some reason in the back of my mind I keep saying that I will know when it is real. But will I? So many questions that go unanswered, but there comes a point in time that you must realize that you are in this life for yourself- make the most of it.I am learning to accept the things I cannot change and to change those which I can. I cannot continue to wait on a love that only exist half way.  So what is your plan you say? The Plan.... Change the situation....
