Through and Through

Dear Friend, Some days there will be nothing you can do to change what you are going through. At times in this life, we just have to go through it. Yet, remember to be grateful that you are at least going through it, because some didn't make it to the other side. ~Lady V.

Humble Pie...Would You Like A Slice?

Dear Friend,

In every situation, no matter how difficult it may be remain humble. Don't all the temptation to lose your cool, eat you alive. Some people and circumstances can get the best of us at times, but it's our responsibility to...well take a chill pill. There are plenty of haters out there scheming against you and will lie on you in hopes you fall. Please don't give them the pleasure in which they seek. Unfortunately, some people only thrive from the destruction of another's image. Let them speak. If you are remaining true to yourself and those around you then they will not win. Beat them at their own game by turning the other cheek, and revealing them for the monsters they are. Life's too short for all of that drama!!

WIDE AWAKE

Dear Friend,


I was sitting in my room listening to the rain, when my mind clicked!!! WAKE UP!!! Life doesn't wait on anyone. So many days we lay in our beds dreaming about the possibilities yet, never taking the chances to truly seek what could happen if we just....step out!! I woke up today, and I felt a stir in my spirit. Yes, I woke up with that sick and tired feeling that only leads to one thing...change. So no I am not going to wait on life to change itself, I am going to change it!! Here's where my head is right now. I firmly believe that faith without actions is dead. We say we have faith and say we believe that God will do something, yet we don't do anything to prove that belief. What are you doing to prove your faith?

Definition of Who

Why should I define myself for you?
That will never benefit me, but will make it easier for you.
Easier for you to place my life in a category.
Categorizing me with all of your other ladies.
But baby my personal style is weaved in my own originality.
So how can I ever find you worthy of my mind and body,
when you're so busy putting me on a shelf.
No honey, this is not barbie.
You refuse to learn or appreciate me for my inner qualities.
I find you blind to the meaning of true beauty.

You will only pay attention to the outside, saying that I'm sexy labeling my body a dime.
You can stimulate my body with your tongue all night , but are you willing to stimulate my intellect with words of knowledge that will have me yearning to learn more in this lifetime.

Why should I define myself for you?
That will never benefit me, but will make it easier for you.


You strive so hard to define me, categorize me, instead of taking the time to get to know me.
How will you ever obtain anything with me?
I find that to be mundane,
a waste of both of our time.
What I am saying is more than just another rhyme,
for I seek what's real and not a lie.

Go sit in the same box you tried to use to trap me.
Either I am too hood or too classy.
So I have a suggestion for you,
go about your business and find the woman that was tailor made just for you.
Because tailoring me to fit your description just will not do.


Why should I define me for you?
That will never benefit me, but just make it easier for you.

It's so easy to get caught up in other peoples' thoughts about you. Yet, since when does the opinion of others define your personality? That is absurd!!! I have been dumped with all kinds of reactions from people when they meet me or get to know me. Honestly, all of it means nothing. My goal in life right now is to define myself. To wake up each day and embrace every single part of me inside and out!!! No I am not perfect, nor do I want to be. Yes, I will fail but that's the best way to learn. No, I'm not always sociable, and can be very awkward in social situations, but I love it!!That's me!!! I like what I like, and I don't care what people think. Yes, at times you have to go get a personal opinion, but you are still the one making the decision. You have to live with you, so work on that,lol!!! Embrace what makes you different and as an old manager use to tell me....distinctive. Muah!!!

Self-Discovery

Welcome,

Hello, how are you? This is the question that we all ask our acquaintances, when writing to them or speaking to them. However, do you ever stop to ask yourself this question? Sometimes you are the one person you forget about in the chaos that is called life. However, I have made a declaration to ask myself this question more often (as in everyday,lol)!!! Why not? Why forget about the one person you need just to make it through the day....yourself? At the end of it all, you can't runaway from yourself.
