Words Of The Soul

Never underestimate the power of words for they are your thoughts which tell the story of your soul. You think what you feel and your emotions are key to who you are. Feelings are powerful. Thoughts are powerful. We have to be careful of what we think. I think what we all fail to realize is everything about life is spiritual. Spirit is constant revolving energy that we can not touch, smell, taste, hear, or see. Its beyond our understanding, its pure. Its who and what we are without control. The closest we can get to understanding it is by our thoughts and feelings because like spirit we can't physically understand them.

As I grow I come to learn and understand that life revolves around faith. Faith is where all strength lies. Faith keeps us going. Faith is hope! Who are we without hope? You see everyone has dreams but without faith that you can reach them those dreams begin to taunt us. You ever see someone who only talks about what could have been and what it was. They've given up, lost hope.

Some how this blog post has went into a many of directions that I wasn't aiming for. My intent was to tell you to mind your thoughts of self and others. Words can either be medicine or poison. Be careful of the words you use and speak. Fix within of what you think of yourself so that you may think better of others. Your words are your thoughts and people judge you based on what you say and for good reason. Your words define who you are. So be selective of your words because they are the definition of you.

Comfort Of Home Can Be The Death Of You

I will be the first to admit that I'm a home body. I love being in my own space, under a warm blanket, ooh with a cup of milk and chocolate chip cookies yum. However this combination of things is a recipe for obesity and depression which for me is too close to home and unacceptable. I won't say that you can't "meet" anyone from home because thanks to the Internet anything is possible. Hell just recently I've met an exceptional man whose laptop I'm using right now to write this blog; but before I drift anymore off topic because I can seriously talk about him for at least another two paragraphs (you know how it is when things are fresh), my point is that's not excuse enough to stay in the house.

Realistically if you have goals, you aren't going to reach them by sitting around your house. Yeah okay you say, 'but I'm in school and I come home to study' or 'my job has me working X amount of hours.' Now you see that, those are EXCUSES, which a lot of people like to confuse and mix up with REASONS. See reasons are legitimate obstacles as to why you couldn't at that particular time do something versus excuses are the reason you never get anything done. Do you see that difference? If you don't, its probably because you're one of those people who make excuses. Now back to these goals, I was raised with the saying "its not what you know, but who you know." Keyword is that common phrase is "WHO" meaning you have to know someone. You aren't meeting these 'someones' in the "comfort of your own home." You meet these someones by getting out and being social or active.

Life can be overwhelming trust me I know, but you aren't making anything easier by hiding from it. Get out there and get in the game. You aren't fooling anyone but yourself. Don't want to believe that's fine, I'm only here to give you my opinion based from my own personal experience. I'm not the kind of individual to talk on something that I myself haven't been through or tried. That would be considered ignorance which I wants no part of. But hey, you do what makes you "happy" and I'm going to continue doing me. I will try to be the example of my own advice. Keep reading my blog and watch my progression :)

Psssst.....I'm Baaaaacccckkkk

Peek-A-Boo

Hi all, so I know you're thinking yep she started a blog but didn't stick it out and follow through. I guess in a way you would be right but let me explain. See the big issue is my computer died on me in September which oddly enough is a month after my mother died. No I do not talk about it, not only do I not talk about it but I don't even have pictures up. Just not ready to handle it really. I'm genuinely a happy person and I can't really feed into sadness. So I choose to avoid it altogether until I'm ready. Okay so as you can see, I have a lot on my plate. However since September I have been back and forth to what I consider my real home, Atlanta. I'm really missing it there. I love the friends that I consider family there. So trust me when I say I will have a lot more to blog about real soon. I'm ambitious and unfortunately I've put way to much of that in people who don't appreciate it anymore. Not anymore, from here on out its about me and my lil fellas.

So why is this called peek-a-boo, well because I'm just checking in but I'm not ready to be consistent as of yet. I can't wait till I get an actual computer of my own again. Until then I will peek in and out of my blog from time to time. Hang in there with me. ;-)

Much needed break

So I realize that I've been gone but that don't mean I've given up. I will be the first to admit that I have been guilty of starting things and not finishing them. Over time as you age, you start to feel guilty about it and if you don't than you should. I understand in life that you have to experiment to find what's right for you but at some point in your life you need to stick something through rather its for you or not. 

So over this past month I've experienced a lot. My life has had a few bumps and bruises as well as some beautiful moments. You have to take it all in. I choose to not go extra personal in my blog but I'm dealing with it. I did learn a few things. Never underestimate the mind for it is very powerful. Also if you don't have friends get some because life is lonely without them. My life has been amazing because of the friends that I have that embrace me and care for me when life throws you curve balls.

This is a short blog today cause I'm just happy to be back blogging. I'm going to gather my thoughts and have many things to share in the near future. There is excitement to come people. In the words of Mary J. "Share My World"

Get Your Stretch On

Its fall and you know what that means....New Fashions!!! I used to not be big on this kinda of stuff but the older I get and come into my woman-hood lol, the more I'm like yes bring it on...

Growing up I love leggings. I mean who don't. They are so comfortable and can be matched with almost anything. Anyone of any size can wear them, its just what they wear with them that becomes the deciding factor of "oh no she didn't." I'm not a skinny chick by no means. I've got thick legs for days but you better believe I will rock a pair or two. Anywho, here is a sample of some leggings this fall.

Just when you thought they were jeans...

This gives it motion w/o doing too much.

You can rock this a cute solid top.

Of course there is some stone washed.

If you like edgy....Ripped

So will you be rocking some leggings and if so which ones...I got my eye on a few ;-)

Afraid of life....

I haven't blogged in quite some time. Its not because I've started something and back slide into giving it up. I enjoy blogging and see it as a good form of release. Often times its hard to get a grip on your thoughts until you see them written down on paper. This blog is my piece of paper.

"Life Is Short"

Sure we hear this all the time and most of us blow it off. When you are growing up it seems like it takes forever to become an adult. However has anyone noticed the moment you become an adult the years start racing past you. One day you are graduating talking about going to college or pursuing some entertainment dream, the next you look up and its your class reunion and you're wondering if anyone else has failed to accomplish all their dreams...smh

The problem is the "real world" is full of responsibilities and limited, restricted work and school schedules. How many people do you know started a job and said it was just temporary. Then temporary turned into 5 years because of a house, car, or just fear of not being able to obtain anything better. Or is that person you? Life is meant to make mistakes, and take risk no matter the circumstance. More importantly make those mistakes while you're young. If you don't live and take chance while you're young you are heading down a lane of would've, should've, could've which is basically bound to end up with a major midlife crisis or overall depression.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself...Live like you will never live again cause guess what...YOU WON'T!!!

Mini Vacay

So I recently took a little 4 day weekend vacay and I spent it with my best friend Derek. I know Detroit don't have the best reputation but it still has much to offer and wonderful things to see. Funny thing is I got caught up and trying to show him the sites of the city and began to get frustrated when I realized how much there was to do here. I haven't even scratched the surface of places but I tried to pick what was convenient for our schedule.

Currently I don't even live in the city but instead Ann Arbor which I truly love so of course we had to spend some time enjoying the sites here and we discovered such nice culture in this town. Then we headed to the GM headquarters which is located in the Renaissance building after stopping off at the infamous John F. King Used Book Store. I spent my Saturday at Cedar Point amusement park. Sunday was a family day and Monday was strictly recovery.

So how was your weekend?
