Proactive approach.

What is something you want to do but you just aren't doing at the moment? If you can answer this then fear is present in your life. There are so many things that we are put on this mission to do and GOD has the script. He places people, things and experiences in your life to shape you into doing exactly what he sent you to do. The funny thing is we choose to ignore the gut feeling that nags at your heart, we choose to ignore our passions, intuitions and dreams because we believe they are far much too great or we will create an excuse as to why we can't do it at the moment.

I say that all of that is nonsense! This is a story that you have told yourself for years and you have now begun to believe it. There is a freedom that unleashes when you finally decide to LIVE and DO what you want. Some people look at this, as being selfish, because you have centered your motivations around what makes YOU happy, but in essence, this is needed if you are to share your life with anyone. We must be able to embrace the humanism power of pro activeness and commit to being greater!

I know a few people with amazing God given talent and they are doing absolutely nothing with it. I knew from a child that my gift lied in my ability to communicate and speak to others. I would sit in my mothers room for hours acting as if I had a class in front of me. I was 9 years old and did not know, that I was practicing for the career that I am now in. I also know that teaching is not what I will be doing forever and that I will take my ability to speak, touch and inspire people to a greater level and that is my ultimate goal. God knowing that I am in tuned with my gift he will allow it to manifest and place the people, places, and experiences there, I just need to openly embrace and recognize it. That is why we all should pray for the power of discernment.

We all have this ability, and we allow distractions to occur in our life on a daily basis to keep us from attaining it. I have reached the point where if something or someone does not serve a positive purpose in my life then I must get rid of it. I have learned to take responsibility for the energy I create and surround myself around. If you do not do these things, and you keep negative people and influences in your circle, unconsciously they will keep you from achieving your greatness.

Love is one of the most important aspects of ones life and it is something we all want. Do not be afraid to embrace love or be with the ones you love because the lesson will be hard and hurt later. Stop over thinking everything and allowing your fear of failure, and what "might" be, to keep the gift of love away in your life.

We are not promised tomorrow and if you have today spend it being of service to someone else, say things that uplift, be with the ones you love and make your mark.

LIVE ON PURPOSE....The time is NOW! Today is a great day to start!

and it all comes down to this....

I have been in a space of total gratitude and deliverance. One day I decided to just give it all up. Give up all my worries, my insecurities, my pessimism, my addictions, my attitude, my selfishness and any other trait that was preventing me from elevating to that clear, radiant space of greatness.

I have always been a woman of many words. I can talk for hours and hours about anything. Make you believe it to. The point I had been missing all these years is I could talk a good game but did I believe it myself. I always knew what I had to do but being disciplined to actually do it, is where I fall short. I was blessed with a father who really "deposited" into my existence. He would talk and talk to me for hours about how important it was for me to be somebody and not follow the crowd, and even though my father is far from perfect he never was lazy on being a parent to me. That I am grateful for and it is because of that effort that I am who I am...in addition to the assistance of my entire family as a whole.

As I have matured into a woman I have made some great decisions and great life moves, and then I have stumbled on a few. During those stumbles I realize now that it came from me rushing and not taking my time where I should have been. So many of us want everything fast..right now. Hey, we live in a world with everything at our fingertips. I never wanted to wait and work my way up...just place me at the top with my cushion and bring me a cup of tea.

Well at 29 going on 30 I see that is not the way life works. I saw a quote recently that hit me like a ton of bricks: "You wanna see God laugh, tell him YOUR plans". That resonated with me so much that it made me realize that ...hey...Do I ever really plan or do I just think on impulse and move? Many of my years was based on impulsive moves. The funny thing is many of them produced great results but I definitely tripped and fell on a few.

The good news is I am here today and standing tall. I am so blessed and in tuned with my higher self that I can say this and be proud and truly grateful of the pitfalls. Without them I would not be who I am. Had I not had a taste of what I did not want, I would not know how the dish should actually taste. If that makes sense.

Two things I know for sure that has helped me reach this point and I am sure someone else may reap the benefits of this message:

1: Be absolutely present to your RIGHT NOW. That is really all we have and if you are 100% in tuned with what is happening around you..you wont worry about tomorrow..or what you don't have, where you wish you were, who you wish you were with. You would be absorbing and giving all your pure energy to what is happening now that may produce the future you want. You have to force yourself to be present to your moments.

2: Every thing, person and event, try to take yourself out of it. Try to think of the next person in all you do and you will see how much "you" actually benefit from being of service to someone else. I learned this the most being a teacher. I teach in one of the most poverty stricken areas in Brooklyn. My kids come to me everyday happy to see me. For some of them I am their only source of hope, excitement, and something to look forward to. I used to get so upset with the "way" things were until I realize, this is not about me....but these kids. Once I took myself out of the equation and realized that I am just here giving myself the best way I can and it has nothing to do with what I would like, where I wish I was etc. I am here and they are the source. I found a new found appreciation for the blessing of just being "Selfless". Giving of your self without looking for anything in return. Being considerate. Being loving. Caring. Generous. and Patient ...just because. That is being HUMAN. That is what GOD intended for each one of us.

Of course this state of thinking and level of understanding takes time, and usually a string of hardships and experiences to humble you to the place where you can actually ask God to "use me the way you can to allow me to be a source of light and the best way you see fit. I am open to receiving your will and message". Once you open up your heart and your aurora to receive that energy it will come to you and you will start to see clear and focused.

There is many things that I am still longing for in my life and I am 100% sure that they will manifest when the time is ready but for now...I am living each day consciously, purposefully and with the bigger picture getting sharper. During this time, many people will fall through the cracks because I have to be responsible for the energy and company I allow in my life. The truth is everybody is not for you, even if they say they are. The wrong type of person, or energy can delay your goals heavily, and who can afford such a thing.

I, for one, have worked too hard and sacrificed too much to allow any more careless mistakes, negative people and ill intentions to be a part of my life.

I am on a one way trip to Joy. I feel it and it is settling in very nicely.

You owe yourself....

So much can happen over the course of a season. Life can change dramatically without notice and it is not always what we expected. It can leave us asking questions like how? why? and what does this mean?

Surprisingly, the biggest culprit usually in the equation is you! It is so easy to say that you know you are the master of your ship and you can control "you"..but so many of us cannot. It is hard to really control and get a grip on our emotions at times. They lead you stir crazy, unhappy....and literally creates situations in your mind that don't even exist. Everything external to you should not matter when it comes to the effort you put into making every day amazing and fruitful. Whatever that is within your control and reach, you make sure to keep positive and peaceful. If it is outside of you, then have no expectations in the results.

We like to blame everything and everybody for when we are unhappy, upset and disappointed but really it is us who we should look to. One thing I have learned is God is faithful and nothing in front of us is bigger than we can get through or handle. I am a testament to the beautiful blessings of him and I will continue to have faith in all that he does.

How amazing life works and how beautiful it is when we just be still and not think too much about what is supposed to come next. Don't think I am saying you should not plan for your future because you should..but keyword YOU plan for YOU. Never look to your neighbor for what you should be doing, where you should be going, or what is important. Only you hold the answers to your life and what it is to be. Remain open to all the love that comes your way and treat it brand new.

Everyone in our lives who loves us and guide us and builds with us are truly blessings. God uses them to assist in his work. Love your peeps! Be honest with them and stay working on the seeds that will grow to bear you the sweetest fruits. Everyday we are here it is a blessing to be acknowledged and celebrated. Who has time to be mad, angry and bitter. You are here! Make your mark and live with purpose. You owe it to yourself! Life happens, stay positive and keep going with the natural ebb of the universe.

Love....

The berry is sweet....inside.

The things we choose to sit and pout our lip out about can be so revealing of the space we are in on the inside. When we are glowing and in a space of gratitude, rarely do we let people and places rise us up to show our ugly side. We just let it roll off our shoulders. When will we stop allowing things and people to affect us in ways that steal our joy and make us frown for way too long?

There is always someone else going through a hardhsip that is not so easily treated. There is always someone else whose load is too heavy for them to carry. I say as long as you have breathe, health and can make a deciasion about your next move ..then you should be smiling. You should be happy to still have another chance to do it all over. The time is now and the life you are living is yours to do as you may. Who has time to frown, have a sour puss face and hold a grudge..let it go..and as they say LET GOD! He can and will handle it all...

Keeping seeking your sweeteness...let it seep out your pours when you speak to your co-workers, family, friends....let it be contagious and let your smiles guide your path. You will get so much further.

XOXOXO!

We need not wait for no one....

A simple word of encouragement when you are down can be a breathe of fresh air that awakens a spirit that was once down and broken. Just as food becomes stale after it sits too long, we can also become stale. Only thing with us becoming stale is we are the culprits behind it. We allow ourselves to becomes stale by becoming complacent, miserable and victims.

We know what does not work in our lives, when we are not at its best but we allow it to remain. We know we are capable of doing greater things but we stay in the same comfortable positions. We know that certain people and their energy and intentions are ill willed but we keep them around. We know that we are at our best when we surround ourselves with things and people that motivate, encourage and inspire us to do bigger and better things.

I believe that every day GOD awakens you, you are given a moment of "inspiration" to grasp and make your own. I do not care if you stayed in the house all day, crying, there was something that was placed in your space to awaken your giant and give way to the purpose you are to serve in this world. We get signs and clues into our future all day everyday. It amazes me sometimes now when I look back at certain "previews" that are present in my life today and thinking how I had no idea I would be where I am.

It takes patience and focus to be great. It takes great sacrifice to attain success and I can attest that nothing easy is ever built for the long haul. You must sacrifice much and commit to whatever it is you truly want to achieve it. So many of us have extreme degrees of blessings overflowing in our lives but this sense of "never being satisfied" and wanting more and not being grateful takes over like a disease and corrupts the essence of what really matters.

Here my list of what really matters:

1- LOVE
2- Genuine Relationships with each other
3- Respect
4- Inspiration
5- Guidance
6- Passion
7- Commitment
8- Humility
9- Compassion
10- Generosity

These are in no particular order of importance, they all are equally important. They're all ingredient's to the recipe to being our greater self's.

Live with purpose..on purpose.

Enjoy your day....

RIGHT NOW....

Sitting ...listening...taking in every single particle of what exists in my "right now"...its amazing.

I can see and watch the clouds move across the sky. I can sit and feel my legs and get up if I need to. I can watch nature conduct itself, I can breathe deep breathes and take in the life that exists around me. I am one with my environment...RIGHT NOW.

The now is a magnificent thing. It only exists for a short time and it goes...awaiting and preparing for the next NOW. What are you doing to make sure that your NOW lives up more than the one before it. How do you capitalize off of every single minute that you are blessed to have.

Here's a hint:

If you are:

1- Sharing the same space with someone and they are speaking LISTEN
2- Driving or walking outside PAY ATTENTION
2- Working on a project or at your place of business DO YOUR BEST
4- Spending time with your mate LOOK THEM IN THE EYE AND TELL THEM I LOVE YOU
5- Spending time with your mate and your wish you weren't END IT
6- In church GET THE MESSAGE...PRAY...BE ONE WITH GOD..don't just be there
7- Praying at home...BE ONE WITH GOD AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE THAT RESPONDS
8- Crying and heartbroken THANK GOD FOR THE EXPERIENCE AND PRAY EACH DAY FOR STRENGTH AND COURAGE TO CONTINUE TO REAMIN OPEN TO FIND LOVE
9- Broke and living off of pennies HAVE FAITH AND WORK DILIGENTLY TOWARDS THE GOALS YOU HAVE SET TO ENSURE THIS IS JUST A TEST FOR YOUR TESTIMONY TO COME
10- Breathing and Alive LIVE RIGHT, GIVE LOVE and BE STRONG FOR THOSE WHO ARE WEAK

Life is too precious and goes too quickly for us to sit back and watch it happen without much input from us. It's something that we all have a stake in and we all have to challenge ourselves to stay focused on....Living on purpose!

Have a wonderful weekend and let your spirit guide you to what it craves to become alive!

XOXOXO

Feet planted in the ground..Thinking on a higher plane.

Are we really afraid of what we don't know and understand? Is it fair to say that we get a little funny feeling in our stomach when we walk into brand new situations, with no prior knowledge of the environment, or people or circumstance that make that up. I notice many people, forgo "trying" to accomplish many things because of this fear.

It is safe to say that the human condition is built on being comfortable, once a comfort level is reached in relationships, career, and everyday life, we try to hold on to that unconsciously. We don't think of ruffling the feathers of what makes us feel secure, confident, and in a state of being able to predict our next step.

The downfall of this is we basically end up watching days, months and years fly by before our eyes and we feel time has been wasted. We then beat up on ourselves for not being more proactive and doing the things that really make us shine. Taking a risk and finding the one other person in this world that completes you and makes you feel like new love every single day. We don't allow ourselves to meet new people because we have known the ones in our lives for years. We don't go to the supermarket to buy healthy food and cook at home we rather speed off to the drive way and get something fast and quick, that does not require our energy to prepare.

I started to notice a long time ago that the way we "upkeep" our self and our things are a huge reflection of who we are feeling on the inside. If we organize and constantly clean out everything around us and evaluate our steps and moves, pushing ourselves to attain the short and long term goals we have set, we live on purpose and we give greater meaning to our existence.

Be well! XOXOXO!

Evolution is necessary...

Thank goodness just like the world in which we live, we as people evolve. If I was still the same person I was 10 years ago, who am I kidding, even 5 years ago, I might as well pack up my things and live in a hut in Tibet. I have grown, evolved and accelerated my life so much, with my own doing, that I am proud to be in the space I am in. I can say I have grown and committed myself to making moves with my life and the direction I want it to go.

It is so easy to be trapped in a life of habit. Habits that promote activities and occurrences in your life that are not in your best interest. Not all of our habits are always bad, but we might not realize by overindulging in some of these habits, it can do more harm than anything.

Surrounding ourselves around certain people and their habits can cause problems for us as well. Shouldn't it be crucial for us to constantly evolve and introduce new things into our worlds for us to thrive? New information, new books, new people, positive people, people making a difference, people following through with their goals people who are about more than just themselves.

Evolution is key to your existence. Life keeps going, moving, reaching and we must stay in the race. Lets always go against the "No's" and make whatever we want happen for ourselves. Who says we cant?

P.S. I LOVE YOU! (Yea you)...

Only you can make me feel like I am floating when I am really taking steps. You send me on an all time high, I don't need a drink, when I am with you. I can take you all in and its good enough for me. You give me the space to be me. You allow me to be free, to move as I like. You are like the sax that lies underneath my rhythm...what would it be without that SAX?

I think when you were created from perfection that is, it was in your destiny to meet me at the moment we did. It was only right that we had lived such drastically different lives with drastic differences and come to the same crossroad to align and be a reflection of what the other needed.

What type of emotion can make you spit out such infectious words, get a tingling sensation up your spine and make your heart spoon? There is something about the feeling you get when you are in love that makes everything feel a little bit more alive, everything you hears sounds a little bit clearer, and everything you see is a bit more beautiful than it was before.

Love can put you in a high and keep you on a high, and nobody but you and the other person can relate to it. You cannot tell your friend..."hit this", "Sip this", "try this", because the love you are IN is made custom for you and that person. NO SHARING! All they can do is get a whiff of the goodness that drips off of your spirit when they are in your presence, and if that is your true friend, that will be enough for them. They will be sooo happy and elated for your joy that, that is all they will need.

LOVE is something wonderful. I think of Love and I think of Stevie when he said in "AS":

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always
As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind Cause I'll be loving you always

Until the day is night and night becomes the day---ALWAYS
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away---ALWAYS
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4---ALWAYS
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Did you know that you're loved by somebody?
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left---ALWAYS
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
I'll be loving you forever
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through---ALWAYS
Until the day that you are me and I am you---AL~~~~~~WA~~
~~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA~~~~

LOVE YOU ALL! FIND LOVE! BE IN LOVE! EMBRACE LOVE...FROM EVERYWHERE!!!!!!

Have a LOVE FILLED FABTACULAR WEEKEND!!!!!

XOXOXO!

Small Voice..BIG deal....

When it is all said in done, minus material things, minus our careers, minus our positions in the world, minus religion and minus race...we are simply human beings. I think many of us forget this...We are just that FIRST. A form of species. We are a species, an animal. We have the great abilities to create, invent and inspire unlike any other animal on the planet. We really are the only species on this planet that has so much freedom.

I experienced an interesting relationship 3 months ago with an individual that lasted a week...A WHOLE WEEK! It started off mellow and ended harshly. It was funny because our relationship really lasted a week! Why? Because I ended it and I was at peace with my decision. I had enough courage and wisdom to say this is just not going to work out anymore. I do not like the way you have been treating me on a HUMAN level, I do not like the way you speak to me on a HUMAN level, and I do not like the respect, concern and care you show me on a HUMAN level. So this has to be over.

Is it easy to do this? Absolutely not! The same way you can tell when something is just off in your body, or something is not quite right with your food, or you know you don't belong someplace but you stay anyway going against your gut, is the same way you know when a person just will not work and fit into your world. I have been the one who will force this sometimes for the benefits that may come from having someone in my life, but then you realize the detriment it causes in the long run is not worth it.

So what have I learned from that. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS listen to your instinct and the small voice that speaks to you. I am blessed that mine talks so loud and clear that I sometimes have to close my eyes and say OK...you are tooo loud! Then some of us have that tiny voice going off all the time and you have learned to ignore it so well that it sounds like humming and it never works for you.

I believe that the little voice is the tunnel or the channel line between you and GOD, or whatever higher power you believe in. I believe that once you really take a minute and listen to it, you will find that the little voice will never ever steer you wrong and always has your best interest in mind.

We don't take enough time to be still and to listen to the messages that come all throughout the day. It takes discipline and will to really WANT to do this, but once you do it, it is soo worth it.

Be loyal to you, Stay True to you, and keep people, places and things out of YOU that are no good for your advancement in life. All you have is...YOU! When things happen ...you can always look to yourself for why.

PAY ATTENTION while you are still here...it goes by fast.

XOXOXO!

Happy Tuesday!!!

Knowledge is POWER....STILL!

There was a time when you woke up, scratched your head, looked up the hall or to the next room, and your mom or dad was right there asking you "You hungry"? "What you doing today"? " How much you need"?

Then as if it crept up on you like a nasty winter cold....you are grown and expected to get it together FAST! Questions that come now are more like "When are you getting your own place?" "When are you going to get a job?" "The bills are due"? and then you find yourself asking someone else "How much THEY need"?

Adulthood creeps up and sticks on you like adhesive. This can be a beautiful, wonderful, liberating time OR it can be very stressful, depressing and upsetting if you haven't prepared yourself for it. I always give thanks everyday for my childhood and my family. My father and mother pushed me and stayed on top of me and my education like it was their only duty in life. In addition to having their constant motivation, my Aunts and my NANA were a constant reinforcement and motivation for me, telling me to be the best at EVERYTHING I did and telling me how great I was always!

This is extremely important for a child. I know so many young people who are turning into adulthood and who are IN adulthood and don't know what to do. They don't know where to turn, how to navigate in life because they never were encouraged by their family, or anyone for that matter, on how important it is that you lay a foundation for your future that is steadily approach fast!

I have been in school now for 22 years...and just recently I have been contemplating getting my PhD., because WHY NOT! I have not always been a FAN of going to school...and I must admit I did not always go for the best reasons. I am a social bug and during high school most of the time I looked forward to going everyday just to take my cozy spot with the rest of my friends who sat at the top of the social hierarchy. We came to school to dress, flaunt our perfectly framed bodies and talk talk talk. Passing classes was just something we decided to add on to the show. Because afterall, High School was a show!

It is not until now as I sit in my Masters program class that I give thanks a thousand times over for the endless nights my father sat up with me talking and drilling the importance of getting my education. He would tell me how people can strip me of alot of things but no one can EVER EVER take away the knowledge that I learn and acquire in my lifetime. How my knowledge will always set me apart from the rest, and my persistent and dedication to WANT to always push myself will take me far. He used to tell me "Yes Dee, looking good will get you in the door, and having some personality will get you further..but once you get there you have to sustain yourself..." Thank you DADDY! How many times have I LIVED those words and they have came true.

My point is this. School is NOT for everyone, and to be successful you don't ALWAYS have to have a degree BUT...be clear..you must be committed to learning and adding on to your greater mind. You can self teach yourself. I know so many people, men especially, who have not gone to school but can tell you facts on topics from history to physics because they DECIDED to pick up a book and read and to expand their mind on their own time.

The man who picks up garbage everyday makes a great salary but the man who understands what happens to the garbage after its picked up and why it happens, has a greater appreciation for what he does. In other words, knowledge is POWER and your passport to livelihood in the new world. Believe it!

Our President is a grand example of an educated man whose intelligence green lighted and secured his spot without a doubt. Had that man lacked the intelligence, diligence, articulation and wisdom that he had, no way would he be where he is.

Always push yourself to go further, to READ, to learn more, to discover new things, to research what you don't know or understand and to never ever give up and stop! I love you all for reading!

Have a marvelous day and stay focused on your paths!

Have a great weekend!

XOXOXOXO

MEMORIES....don't live like people do....

Sometimes I sit and think about the times I had with her and it makes me smile. She took the best care of me EVER, I miss that. I miss knowing no matter what she would always be there to make sure I was OK...ALWAYS. I sometimes sit and can loose my myself in the memories and when I come out of the long thought, I look to pick up the phone or go visit, but she isn't here anymore.

Such is Life...Death. We live and we move on. I have to remember that, just because she no longer is here..I can still speak out. She hears me. She knows I wish I could just hug her one more time. That is what is unfair in it all. She can take me all in, It is I who is limited from here.

I have my days...where I miss her a whole lot and today is one of those days.
We all have our moments. I think about what she would say, I hear her response to what I just said, I wonder how she would feel if she saw THIS! I know she can see how happy I am. I know she would love every bit of it. She would smile, donning her gold rim on her perfectly straight teeth, and we would split an apple. :)

Death happens. Life continues...We miss, We remember...I love you! R.I.P. NANA!

Light a candle for all your missed loved ones. They appreciate it!

LOVE YOU ALL!

Have a great weekend and EAT MUCH!

XOXOXOXO

When did time become friendly?

Time waits for no one. Time is not on our side. Time is to be used as effectively and efficiently as it should be. None of us have time to waste. It just keeps going and going. Each second turns into a minute that translates into an hour that registers to a day, that adds up to a month that will ultimately end off another year.

What are you doing??? How many years are starting to pass you by?

When next year comes are you going to be a year younger? Are you regressing? Do you possess some special secret that allows you to sit and not fulfill the dreams you have had for yourself? When will you start? Why are you waiting for someone else to HELP YOU. Or maybe, you think that the relationship and connections that you need will just come knocking on your door without you going out and networking and marketing yourself. Maybe you feel that someone is home thinking just about you and that if an opportunity does arise, that person, who could help you get there, will have YOU on their brain without YOU following up with them, nagging them, showing them your hunger...MAYBE.

I know for a fact that time is the most precious thing that we all have. It can belong to us. It can be mastered. It is what we do with it. Do not tell me you have to go to a dead end job every single day because you have to pay bills, OK, go to that job and utilize every ounce of that place to help you get to the next step in your plan. Make a plan. Don't tell me you have to get married now because you are getting older, yet that person is a knockoff of the authentic mate you really want. Get the mate you really want, that makes you FEEL like you are sailing through galaxies blind..CRAZY LOVE. Don't tell me you have a god given talent, (sing, dance, draw, write, act) and you are not USING it! Don't tell me you don't know HOW to use it...just USE IT..ALL THE TIME...and watch the blessings come.

Sit down and map out what it is you want in your life, It is very easy. You know what you want just secure it and get it. It CAN BE DONE! Who told you it could not?

Stop pitying yourself, crying and complaining about what you do not like about the space you are in and just switch it up. It really is that simple. I promise. It can be done in a matter of a thought. Make up your mind to be where you want to be, that is it. Start your journey. I cannot stress how EASY this is.

I did not realize how easy this was until I started practicing it all the time. It is funny. When you decide to do this, you start to worry about what everyone is going to say, how they will react and how it will affect them. When those are the wrong questions to ask yourself. Change those "everyones" to how will "You" feel and the answers come so easily. Then you realize once you make that jump you wanted in your heart, you feel so free! You feel so much more alive and you can appreciate the goodness of what LIFE really is.

I hope for everyone to live their best life and be the person they want to be no matter WHAT that is. We all deserve it. Life comes and goes....every day. Make the best of your time while you still can. Be an example to the young ones around you. Smile and spend time with those who matter. Tell the ones you love..I LOVE YOU. Go out your way to make someones day. It should be your goal to be able to say at any time "There is no place else I rather be, than right in this moment, doing what I am doing now".

Practice makes perfect....He who practices often is always prepared to win. Start NOW
