It Is What It Is

Dear Friend, Have you ever heard the quote,"don't take yourself too seriously"? I love this quote, because it exemplifies exactly how we should treat ourselves. Some days you need to remember to be human, to have a little fun, laugh, and play. Norman Vincent Peale said that the, "imagination is the true magic carpet". Yes, we are always looking for the magic to happen in our lives, without just taking a moment to look within ourselves. Some days all hell does break loose, but drink a tall glass of chill. Calm down, everything works out, don't break yourself to the point that you lose all sense of humor in life just because everything is falling apart. Yes, I know I sound looney, but if I am going to lose everything, then why not at least not keep my smile? After all it's free. ~With Love, Lady

You're Not Perfect

Let me see your imperfections, the flaws that nest skin deep. Remind me that you’re human. Easily broken as porcelain hits the concrete. Let me shelter your soul in this pounding rain. You’ve worn band aids to cover old bullet wounds, instead of seeking hospice. Let me see your imperfections, the flaws that nest skin deep. If it were in my abilities, I’d suck the poison out of your heart to heal you. The venom left by life’s nasty bite, has infected you from the inside out. Yet, you hide behind a cloud, pretending to be okay. We both know you’re not. Let me see your imperfections, the flaws that nest skin deep. Remind me that you’re human. Easily broken as porcelain hits the concrete. Tribulations have clogged your perception, sprinkling their dark midst of pollution. But let’s clear the air, for then maybe the sun can be your smile. Maybe I can hold you for a little while, cover you like a gas mask to protect you from the stench. Yes that stench. The stench that left was by the carcass of fools who have infiltrated your mind. It smells so foul. Yet, I’m willing to walk over their bones, just to be with you. I’m willing to put up with apocalyptic disasters, just to nurture you. Let me see your imperfections, the flaws that nest skin deep. Remind me that you’re human. Easily broken as porcelain hits the concrete. ~With Love, Lady

Anxiety Boulders

Dear Friend, Philippians 4:6 states, "Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to God". I must admit that I have been anxious to make things happen on my own instead of the allowing the doors to open. Yes, your gifts are nothing if you don't use them or push yourself towards your goals, however are you so anxious to get it done that you aren't capable of putting in that 100% ? Being in a rush mode isn't always beneficial, because you aren't truly perfecting your skills. Think of a chef in the kitchen. Imagine the chef taking his or her time, to buy the most ripe and dish worthy ingredients. Next, the chef takes his or her time to prep everything just right before throwing it all together for the most mouth watering dish you've had in your life! (Yes, as you can tell I love a good meal)! Unlike a good chef you're throwing all you have in the pot without any prep or any attention to detail, hoping that it turns out to be a delightful dish. Having an anxious spirit is so detrimental to us, because it produces that fear, worry, and doubt that people are carrying around like boulders on their shoulders. Do you really want to walk around with such heavy weight ? Personally, I do not wish to live an anxious lifestyle. If you are anxious to obtain your desires now, then you will be just as anxious about maintaining whatever you have when you receive it. Yes, work hard and put in more than enough effort, but make sure you are able to enjoy the journey while you're on it! ~ Love Lady!

Willing For A Change

Dear Friend, Do you ever see yourself doing the things in which you are fully capable of doing? Yes or no? Alot of us walk around not truly fulfilling the call that was placed on hearts. Everyone of us has our own unique gifts and talents, each to use for a specific reason. Being that you are alive and not dead you have the opportunity to do more than those bones drying up in the grave! Yet, it depends...are you willing? The Psalms says grant me a "willing spirit, to sustain me". What use is the ability to take action, when you are not "willing" to move? The change in which we seek can only happen when we are willing to allow it. To be willing, means that you are ready to let go of what was in the past, for what is in the present. Are you ready to accept the truth, whatever that truth may be and move forward? Being willing means that you are "willing", and ready to move beyond your darkest hour. Once you open your eyes and acknowledge the truth you can actually focus on climbing your mountains. To be willing is all it takes to move leaps and bounds!! With Love, ~Lady

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.

Pressure Boiling!

Dear Friend, How's it going? Yes, trust me I know that life can get a little heavy at times. Everywhere I turn someone is struggling with high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and so forth! It's hot outside so people forget to take more care of their bodies, and the bills are piled high so people are stressed beyond measure! At times life can become a little too much to handle. Yet, understand you have to see yourself excelling forward despite it all! Use that pressure as gasoline for your life! Use the passion and motivation within you as a spiritual engine to push you towards your future! With Love, ~Lady

Where's the Path?

Dear Friend,

 I haven't spoken to you in a while! I've been busy...no actually I've been lost. I've been lost trying to decide what's right, what's wrong, and which directions to take. When I was growing up my mother would say that one day I'd understand that the road isn't easy. Well I understand. Despite these bumps, and sometimes mountains I also understand that it takes faith to keep moving. There are many days when nothing goes as planned, but that doesn't mean you stop in the middle of the road and give up. So in my bout of self-discovery I will keep seeking answers while taking this journey day by day.

With Love,

Lady
