Your Journey is leading to....

Today is a new day filled with hope,and all you have is faith that things will work out the way you imagine them to. You woke up with something on your mind and a split between two thoughts of which way you should go or how you should handle the situation. Speak out loud...even if its by yourself...he will hear you. He actually likes to hear you speak to him, for when you speak to him you speak to your spirit as well. You are acknowledging your spirit and the other unforeseen forces that govern your life...our destiny.

When will you stop pretending that all is good and something will just drop out the sky? When did hard work and determination not ever give you huge returns on your investment? A new year is steadily approaching us and that year will soon be gone. Since time never stops for any of us, will you be prepared when your golden moment of opportunity looks you in the face? They say opportunity is when success and preparation meet...what have you done to prepare?

I speak from a space of preparation. I have been sacrificing my blood sweat and tears to achieve the life I want for myself. The life I told myself I would have two years ago and I am finally starting to see it come to fruition, and all because I simply said "I want to do that". The journey has been long, hard, bumpy, leaving me needing an alignment like nobody's business...but it was always attainable.

I have learned that God helps those who help themselves. You can sit there and wish and pray for anything in this world, but you must seek out and do as needed with the strength you have to get it done and it will be.

Congratulations to all the wonderful folk in my life who are putting their God given talents to good use and fulfilling their duty of being a source of hope and a pillar of strength and a role model for inspiration.

Be grateful...Live open hearted.

Have a productive Thursday.

XOXO

Art=Creativity=Inspiration=LOVE.. & LOVE... = will you ever know?

Why do we love?

Why do we yearn for it?

It holds us captive to a world that is never seen, never realized, never fully able to reach its potential..OR DOES IT?

How could you love someone sooo much for them not to reciprocate it in the way you gave it to them? How could you sacrifice so much of your life and time to one person for them to walk all over your deposit to their soul?

Then...what happens to the woman who waits for love...for this...invasion of peace...love disturbs everything..it takes you off your balance...it allows you to be vulnerable..you are a prisoner to it's wave..but you wanna ride it. Why not? You love the feeling, and if you fall off...then...who care's. You will cross that bridge when it comes...Yes. You are living irresponsibly to a degree...you are riding in a Ferrari at 120 miles per hour with no seat belt..that is the feeling.

TRUST...That is what keeps you sitting down. Holding on. FAITH...that is what comforts your worries and reassures your heart that maybe this time...it wont BREAK. It wont crumble into a million small pieces and you feel it in the pit of your stomach each day.

Love is too complicated Avril once said...What does she know...she was a teenager when she sang that song...yet she was right...Why does it have to be soo complicated.

Why does hate and jealousy run free when LOVE is present?

Why can't we all embrace and encourage LOVE?

We should WANT to see each other happy, finding that special mate to end our sentences, kiss our foreheads, wipes our tears, hold our hands, rub our cheeks, whisper in our ears...

LOVE ...DAMN....

When will we understand your intentions?

I don't think we have reached it yet. The world keeps living and we keep going...and LOVE will always be on a mission to grab us once more...before we turn our backs on it for the last time.

"DON'T HURT ME"! I love you...LOVE!

I was inspired to write this through ART. Through watching someone's story unfold, and watching love never reach its full potential! Such is Life.

Have the courage to LOVE again!

Love Responsibly. She didn't deserve for her love to go in vain.....

Thank you Sydney Pollack! *winks*

FLASHING..LIGHTS...LIGHTS..LIGHTS.....

You ever have a tough decision to make, or in a certain space in your life and all you can do is hear music in your brain that is a reflection of what you are dealing with. Like seriously, all you hear is a particular song on repeat in your mind. The reason why you hear it is because unconsciously you are relating to those lyrics, without even trying to.

This started happening to me this morning. I am faced with a major decision and all I can do is here Kanye say "Feeling like Katrina with no Fema, Like Martin with no Gina, Like a flight with no Visa, First class with the seat back I still see ya". (Flashing Lights). I don't know why I have always been the stubborn girl who is determined to do what SHE wants regardless of what. Many take this as a slight form of arrogance, some write it off as being "young", and "she will learn". I can't call it, but...I am happy that I have never been one to settle for anything that makes me feel unhappy and alive.

The funny thing is, when we go through these type of times we tend to ask those closest to us for some sort of advice or opinion on what we should do. This is when you will see the essence of who people really are. Some will really listen to you, and help you try to figure out what the problem is and how you can make it work for you, while some will really send you off with a dollar menu remedy because they really don't care. Then you have the one's who think that life is supposed to be this way and just deal with it. "Oh you getting smacked with some lemons, suck them ,eat that"..They don't tell you make lemonade...they say "EAT THE SOUR LEMON..SUCH IS LIFE"....I say...Kick Rocks!

Most would say that the "decision" I am facing is a great one, you should be happy Deandra, Why do you always complain, you are spoiled as it is". Maybe I am. SO WHAT! I don't mind saying that I am a tad bit spoiled, and I have created that spoiled environment for myself because I love me sooo much! I have to have my BEST interest at all times and I won't allow any external forces, irregardless of what, to create the future that I want.

A wise person once said "The Best Way to Predict the Future is to Create it". Therefore, I am in the lab and I am going to create. I commit to flying face first out the window for what I truly want to do and taking no prisoners....Time is Finally come....

Stay tuned....

XOXOXO
