Lolo Knows

We live in a very busy world and there doesn't always seem to be enough time in the day to complete it all. People can even come off a little self absorbed and not really take in consideration that others are busy but have taken an opportunity to think about you while you were running around. Today's tasks may even in fact be there tomorrow. So, what's 5 minutes of your time to speak to the one that called you and thought about you in the midst of the chaos. It just might be God's way of telling you to slow down and never take for granted those other blessings that we often do and before you know it, we have lost a friend or family member because we got too busy to even give them that precious and most treasured time of the day to them. Instead we think that they will be there tomorrow or the next day. Folks, WAKE UP!!! Look around you and really observe who really is in your corner and make a conscience effort to stay there. What's up with the people that are too b...

This quote by Charlize Theron says it best. I never wished to be a single mom, but that is what I have been for 21 years and I have to say, it was the best years of my life. My mother got divorced from my father when I was 9 years old and she became a single mom. Having her as an example was the best lesson I could draw from to be the best mom to my boys to this day.

There was a time in my life when I was hanging out with all the wrong people. Let me be clear, they were awesome individuals, they just weren’t MY crowd. They didn’t get me, they liked to do all the things I really didn’t care to do and they talked about things I had no interest in. Hanging around with them made me feel drained, depressed and lonely. Lonely because I couldn’t make a connection with them around subjects that had meaning to me… Drained because I had to BE SOMEONE ELSE to fit in with who they were and what they wanted to do… Depressed because, well, it sucks to feel like you don’t fit in or like people just don’t GET you. Am I right? So how do you attract the RIGHT People into your life? Are you ready for this? Because it’s some seriously powerful stuff…  BE YOURSELF. 100% of the time and 100% REAL. If you think that you’re being real, but you’re still finding the wrong people showing up in your life, then you need to take a moment to reassess your YOU-ness. If the wr...
