Wake Up and Live Today

Don't wait till a new year to begin making those changes you want to do. Those changes should be today. Each day we should wake up and simply want to live in each moment that is given. 
What baffles my mind is how people can think that they have all of the time in the world to begin what it is they keep putting off,  but what if you were just given today or next week. What would you do? A DJ friend of mine and to many others got into a horrific car accident and I am sure he did not plan to spend his whole holiday fighting for his life to stay alive. His life changed in that instant and so did his families. Even God states in Ecclesiates 9:11 "Time and unforseen occurrences befall us all." How about each day is a new day and a new beginning. If you have dreams to whatever you want to be in life, live that dream today. 
I had a series of ups and downs and felt my life in an unbalanced shuffle of sorts. I didn't wait till a new year to make a change, I vowed to take whatever came at me and just face it. Regrets are a waste of time. They are the past crippling its way to the future. Look at the hard moments, that is your pathway to being strong and developing courage. Welcome it and embrace those moments and instead of being a victim, ask yourself, what is my lesson here? 
Living in your moment each day can be replacing a negative thought with a positive one. It could be signing up for that class you have been putting off. It also can be doing the necessary research to begin that big move you have always dreamed of doing. The point is, don't wait till tomorrow to make your dreams a reality. Live your dream today. 
May this up and coming New Year bring peace, love and many flowing blessings your way. This is my wish for us all. 
Goodbye 2014!! It's been hella REAL, but the most wonderful year that changed my life for the better. 
To the Universe, I thank you for all you have taught me and I welcome this new year and each new day with all love and gratitude for everyday I am given. I am thankful to wake up today and have the opportunity to see this day. Please keep me, my family and friends safe this evening. AMEN!!!

Happy New Year Celebration!!!
With Love,

Saying Nothing is Sometimes Saying Everything

Everybody has a Judas in their lives and sometimes several. Some are friends, but most are unfortunately in your own damn family. I can relate to Jesus. It's hurtful as shit. The reason this occurs is lack of real understanding and so many being so far in their own asses to ever even want to try to understand who you are and why you feel and think the way you do. It's fucked up, but that's what it is, but you know what you do have control over, how you respond or don't respond to the bullshit. You don't have to answer to things especially if they are coming at you as an attack because that's all you will get at the end of the day, your  feeling like you were nailed at the cross. So, don't say shit!!! Keep it moving. Sometimes saying nothing is everything.

Counting Friendship Blessings

I have had more than my fair share of ups and downs in the last year and I am sure there will be a few hiccups to overcome this year, but having the support and love from my kids and friends has been the most wonderful testimony because the ones that are currently by my side even in my darkest days, have shown me they were my true supporters.  We need to go through those downs at times to see that  and you better know I asked the Universe to reveal them and I was pleasantly surprised by it's answer. There were folks that came out the woodworks and have literally told me that I had inspired and gave them the determination to go after their life goals and dreams and that I was their strength when they were down. My jaw dropped to the ground and my eyes have been full of tears because although there has been a battle within my own self, God wanted me to know because of what I did for others, that those same ones would be there to be my strength and guide as well. I am beyond humb

Passion vs. Effort

I hear it all the time from people on what you need to succeed.   “Follow your passion”. Here is is why I have an issue with this advice.   Everyone is passionate about something and usually more than one thing.  We are born with it. There are always going to be things we love to do like music, art, knitting, cooking etc..  The list can go on. Those passions more than likely for most are not worth a nickel. Here's why?  Think about all the things you have been passionate about in your life. Think about all those passions that you considered making a career out of or wanted to build a company around.  How many were there? Why did you bounce from one to another? Why were you not able to make a career or business out of any of those passions ?  Or, if you have been able to have some success, what was the key to the success?  Was it the passion or the effort you put in to your job or company?  If you really want to know where your destiny lies, look at where you apply your time.
