Let Me Move You & Inspire You

As some of you may already know, I am CO-Founder of Get Wit It Magazine. I've recently released my FIRST self-published book. I have also started my own jewelry line. I've been dedicated to continue to pursue and walk in the path that has been given to me. Fortunately enough, I have a strong mind and have the patience it takes for most of us to get exactly where it is we feel we need to be. Last night, a concise expression of some sort of admiration towards me has reassured me that my goals are being fulfilled. Just like many others, I've had my share of difficult times. But, here I am, I kept going. Challenges or not, I chose to continue. The one that surrounds me at all times has helped me straighten out my posture and proven to be the perfect backbone for me. This is a quick THANK You to those that have supported me and have allowed me to move them in some way. And an even bigger THANK YOU to those that have reached out and took that second to let me know! To all others... well.....let's just say
...REAL RECOGNIZES REAL!

Rationally Speaking.....

At the moment I'm experiencing emotions that have me raging inside making me both bitter, bothered and stand-offish. For the past few days I've been fighting an urge to say 'screw this and screw that and tell some people about themselves and their unappreciated actions. During these times when I am most irritable, I have found myself beaming my negative energy towards all the wrong people...mainly those who I encounter on a daily basis or some who just cross my pass on the mentioned days.
Well, today I had it in me to let things out, in an irrational way. Instead, my husband said to me today 'use that energy on something else'. 'Oh , I'll use it on something else alriight..as soon as I tell these people how through I am with them' I told myself. Well...you're reading this now..which means I listened to my husband and the rational side of me won. I've decided to blog and express myself through words. Something we can all agree that I do best.
See, I have this problem in which I find myself caring for things or people that I shouldn't be caring so much about. I find that I am minding too much about having them in my thoughts. I really do feel like typing ALL the names...but you know what??? I won't...I won't because I know no matter how blind they may try to act..they know exactly they are wrong. And whether or not they care enough to change their ways..I have decided not to mind. I'm going to continue to put my focus into what matters most to me. And I will also continue to pursue my goals with out those individuals. I won't shut them completely from my life.. ( Phone calls/texts, social networks) because this will be my way of letting them see my progress. Anything I touch will inevitably turn to gold. If I am contacted by the individuals my reply will simply be a link to this blog, if that. If I, like them..am in the mood to respond!! Also, those individuals who I just reach out to for networking...on SOCIAL NETWORKS..they shouldn't under estimate me! See, I've spent some time reconstructing myself, and when I attempt to network..its for a cause. I do business.. I don't network for simple pleasures or because I want to make lifelong friends. I aim to make lifelong CONNECTS, I network to WORK!!
I must admit, I feel so much better. Now that I've let this out and gotten it off my chest, I can continue to prosper and dust my legs off from the fall I just had. If you in anyway feel like I'm speaking about you...I probably am!! To know me is to love me. To dodge me is to have mistaken me for a foul ball! Mood is now kosher!

Be Happy, Be Successful!!

Success is ACHIEVEMENT! It can be any form, and will be a different form for each of us. Not everyone has to become a Rapper, Model, Lawyer, Writer, Nurse or etc. for it to be classified as a Success. Give everyday what you can. Don't over-limit or under-limit yourself. Reach the measures that make you feel like you're reaching your defined Success Point.I encourage you to do and to strive. Success wont come knocking at your door, you have to go look for her. I challenge you to define your own success, success for you and not for the amusement of others.
When you aim for success, you become successful. You will find fulfillment, with that comes happiness. If you haven't heard it recently, let me be the one to say that I praise all who have goals and are doing something, anything that is positively bettering them.

Being Yourself...Is Where It's At!!

I've come across quite a few people attempting to portray themselves as someone else, from looks to social network status. I question "why"? Why do people have these desires? No answer to this question would ever settle right within me. If there wasn't just one of each person then we'd all be alike. Being all alike, this kinda world would be type BORING! It would be no type of excitement or differences. Everything would just BE! That's STALE!!! We were created significantly. Each with a purpose. We all have a place, you're duty is just to find it and fulfill it. It's ok to admire and be inspired.But there's nothing to gain if you just want to pick up and disguise yourself like another. You're special, you're cool, you're stylish, you're pretty, you're handsome, you're amazing! Embrace it, and don't let it get washed away by pouring a disguise!

Be inspired,But still... Be You!!

A Dedication To...

"....The woman kept house while the man hunted"

Being a woman means more than just outer beauty and the physical attraction through attire. The term is reserved for a matured adult female. A woman is set to play a significant role in the life of a particular man. In the bible she is referred to as a mans rib. The missing link to fulfill man. As a woman, she is well put together. Her intelligence matches her actions, her speech coordinates with her education, which coincides with her demeanor. As a woman she is to compose herself at all times. A woman knows when to scream and shout. A woman protects her territory. Using her wits not fists. A woman is delicate yet sturdy. A woman has self respect which enforces respect from any other angle.
A woman is given the gift to carry, create, develop and born another living being. This is an extremely important role in life. Production. A woman has the ability to produce. While producing doesn't guarantee a stamp of approval. The role of a woman is more than laying down and pushing out a being. A real woman will never degrade a real man, for he will degrade himself. A woman can and will restrain herself from the unnecessary, making the use of her time productive. She is concise and prefers not to waste time on childish behaviors. Including any role in which a girl may provoke one woman to behave out of character. The silliness of girl, or immature female adolescent is left alone as they use single syllable grammar, the woman has outlined a more adult way of handling a comeback. An intelligent, well rounded woman is aware it isn't about the amount of "I told u so's" she can tell a man but the amount of times that man "does not" because she told him so. A woman is beauty and she is brains. A woman is power and stability. A woman has importance and is a necessity. A woman is a super hero.

Within a Hole

......'These are the moments when your marriage, faith, will power and strength are tested. The revelation of who people truly are and what they care and care nothing about'

After being dug in a hole, my husband and I are shoveling ourselves out. We had some extra hands for sometime and they gave up digging. So, its just us two again. We began to see some light above, turned out to be our faith. Our faith is lighting our path ahead. We remain strong and united. As I shovel one side he shovels the other. When we can finally stop, I'll remember always looking back, to my left and to my right and seeing the same face, the one I devoted my life to, the one I traded vows with. Blessed and determined. There were moments where some would guarantee to come pick up a shovel and help us dig. But of course would never show up. Then there was the unexpected few that came out of no where and provided us with food and water when we most needed it. For these few we are so grateful and appreciative. Days passed and the dirt we previously dug was kicked back onto us. Giving us more and more to dig. Only thing left to do was dig. I had my moment when I wanted to give up. My right hand man would assure me he could see light ahead when he felt I was losing my faith. He humored me with jokes and all I could do was laugh. Humor became a powerful source and the drive that energized us both as we kept digging. Time passed and we could see a dark water filled cloud passing up above, the smell of rain covered the air. What will we do if the cloud released the rain and we are below in the ground with nothing but dirt. I continued to dig and gave the lord thanks for allowing me the opportunity to have gone through something so major with someone I love and so supportive. Time was running. A shadow approached, and a familiar face appeared. He released a long sturdy rope. My husband let out a sigh of relief and a small smirk. He gave me leeway and I held on to the rope, he held on behind me. We were pulled up, without turning our heads back we were focused on the outlet.
Mission accomplished. We finally made it. Ironically the one that brought us out of the whole was covered in dirt and had a smell of smoke attached. Turns out he had just dug himself out of a whole not too far from us and one can only imagine why the smell of smoke surrounded him. We praised and gave thanks. This opportunity taught us so much. This also confirmed the strength of our marriage and our demeanor. We will never ever forget this incident nor will we forget the guardian angel like friend who threw that single rope down when we were in need.

Foot notes:
You can't expect everyone to be as strong as you are. You also have to keep in mind that everyone has their own digging to do and their hole may have more turbulence than you can expect.

Dear John,

There's someone I turn to when I feel in need. You're the one I turn to in bed while we sleep.
I'm lonely with your presence and accompanied by his absence.
You are black and he is red, Yet you are warm and he is cold.
He consoles me and helps me understand while supporting my emotions. You cater to me and simply agree to disagree.
He's there when I need him but not when I want. You're there physically but mentally scarce.
Memories of completion and happiness are elusive. Most of my thoughts are comfort and pleasure.
He hurt me once and makes me smile,You make me cry and gave me happiness.
He loves me and tells me he misses me, You miss who I was and tell me you love me.
The butterflies you gave me have grown into moth.
You are him and he is you. Both so similar yet you're not like him
and he's not like you.
I think I'm confused. Lost in love and infatuated with a dream.

Forgive me please, sincerely yours, forever his
Mentally Distraught
