I read a post today that said:<br />
<br />
"It's not the FUTURE that you're afraid of, it's <b>REPEATING the PAST <u><i>that makes you Anxious"</i></u></b><br />
<br />
I've lived on this earth long enough to know that we all experience LIFE lessons that are specifically for US that's created to help shape us into the individual we are meant to become. Most times we are in a learning session and not realize it for quite sometime later...<br />
<br />
The thing about lessons is mistakes, failures, poor choices etc...can either help us become a better individual that <b><i>STRIVES </i></b>harder...<br />
<br />
OR<br />
<br />
it can stunt your growth-intellect whereas you become <b><i>STAGNANT</i></b>.<br />
<br />
Are you living in the Past or Striving for a <u><b><i>BETTER, BRIGHTER FUTURE?</i></b></u><br />

It's been a loooooong time since I've posted anything and to be honest a long time since I'd even visited my blog; Sad but true. I initially started the blog as a form of therapy for my Soul to further my Spiritual growth and help me with having a more positive outlook on life in general. What happened is probably what your wondering. I kind of lost sight of what I was aspiring to accomplish. I listen to Christian radio, read inspirational books, listen to sermons etc...but in the end you can be taught however "YOU" must apply what you've been taught in order to learn.<br />
<br />
I received a email last week from a advertiser attempting to sell me some gadget for my blog that would encourage/direct more people to visit my blog, at that point I clicked on the link for my blog (which was included in the email) and instantly felt saddened and a bit disappointed in myself that I'd<br />
separated from something I created to help keep me encouraged and in the process uplift others. Needless to say, I did not purchase the gadget nor had any intentions but I'm grateful that I received the email that directed back on this path.<br />
<br />
I will not be posting daily or weekly however I WILL post periodically. This week, I'm home on a stay-cation however the plan was to be lying down on a beach lounge chair with a book or iPad in hand enjoying the sound of the ocean and seagulls while embracing tranquility :), needless to say, my plan wasn't in line with the "Divine" plan . Circumstances beyond control including not good timing for some and a illness of a dear friend ;( (no worries, she's going to be fine) Love you Girl :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Bc0y8_QVszmOEpiZar9KcVEzVbItz3I1AhpKbIDIxOWhBY6gwADcJZbBNQJszTMjnlXyv5qqZOMr30NpB0lJpqzUxawt2vBFLJVqxioqR2KGQMa97mDjLjYZLQJlCsAhiXWh-yZ5FaMK/s1600/DSCN0374.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Bc0y8_QVszmOEpiZar9KcVEzVbItz3I1AhpKbIDIxOWhBY6gwADcJZbBNQJszTMjnlXyv5qqZOMr30NpB0lJpqzUxawt2vBFLJVqxioqR2KGQMa97mDjLjYZLQJlCsAhiXWh-yZ5FaMK/s320/DSCN0374.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<br />
Let me go back to what I mentioned earlier about "Applying" what you've been taught. I was in a self defeating, self pity state of mind:( Shameful . I'm so blessed and fortunate enough to honestly say that<br />
most of the time the desires of my heart are granted, not to mention the numerous blessings "GOD" has allowed in my life. I've overcome SO much through the grace and mercy of my Heavenly Father.<br />
<br />
When you are feeling Low and sad about a disappointment try to live with perspective. I'm not at the beach but I'm sitting in MY home at MY kitchen table listening to the sound of the interstate and the sway of the trees blowing in the breeze and in this space I have shelter, peace and tranquility.<br />
<br />
What you seek you can have even if it doesn't come as imagined or hoped.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's to enjoying my "Stay-Cation" and living my life on purpose!<br />
<br />

<br />
Stay encouraged &<br />

Be blessed!</h3>

It's true, you really are what you "THINK" and if you don't like it, then YOU have to change your thought process.. Trust me, if it were easy and simple I'd be the most positive, optimistic person there were :) <br />

I love this song and it makes me "Happy", Enjoy... Love you <span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">Ledisi..</span><br />

It's a great article and I wish I could miraculously change my negative mindset and think myself into a tranquil, happy state of mind when I'm feeling the complete opposite.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately It doesn't happen instantly for me; I may have to read it Several more times, meditate on it Several more times but I know that eventually even "I" will think myself happy!<br />

Mother's day is such a special day and for me being a mother has been the most fulfilling part of my life. Unfortunately there's no training guide that can ensure a perfect outcome for the different growing pains however one thing is for sure., if you've done the very best that you can, your kids will love & respect you forever....<br />
<br />
Happy Mother's Day! <br />

Today I'm blessed to be able to celebrate another birthday. I was given a special gift on my birthday 25 years ago; not many people can say they gave birth to a child on their birthday. Ok, it was a "Painful" gift but still a gift :) <br />
<br />
So.....when things seem to be spinning out of control and every day seems to bring more and more obstacles that you must endure try to remember that on the other side of pain is "JOY". Sometimes it takes longer than we'd like to get to the other side however once you get there, it makes the "Pain" all worth it.<br />
<br />
I was blessed with two wonderful young men!<br />

<br />
I decided to go to the park, I'm sitting on a park bench enjoying the beautiful sunshine and as I sit here, I hear rumbling in the bushes behind me and kids playing at the playground, joggers running, families barbecuing, birds chirping etc... Life in motion :)<br />
<br />
Thinking back i remember as a young girl i loved to lye on our driveway with my eyes closed and listen to nature sounds; birds chirping, grasshoppers etc.. I guess that's why I love going to the park and BEACH, those places give me a sense of peace and calm regardless of what's going on with me.<br />
<br />
What brings you solitude? (shopping does not count, Lol)<br />
<br />
Be Blessed & Happy Easter! <br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>I wonder what it would be like to live and not have a care or worry, to not constantly think about what if, and why or why not. Life is such a mystery that's complex and even entertaining at times with many twists and turns but for the most part "we" ourselves paint our own portrait. Every decision you make in your life is like selecting the type of canvas as it relates to quality of life and in the end, you look at the picture you created and ponder over if you like the image before you.</em></span> <br />

<br />
Since that time, my health has been questionable to say the least. I've had two car accidents (I'm fine, physically, Lol) Bizarre incidents at work..... Could it be the universe way of testing my endurance or the devil trying to discourage me or both? <br />
<br />
Who knows but I'm still on my journey to peace, tranquility, faith, spiritual growth and prosperity so I win :)<br />
<br />
Tonight, here's to me having a date night with "ME" to celebrate life..A glass of moscato, (it's one glass) steamed crab legs and a girlie flick:) <br />
<br />
I'm learning that you have to celebrate the victories and defeats knowing that in the end you will always be victorious with God on your side<br />
<br />

OK, January is almost gone. My goals were/are to live better, do better......Today, I was reflecting on what I've accomplished thus far with regards to my goals. I determined that I have made a little strive and have done better in a few aspects of my life, but I emphasize "little" :) Every month, I'm going to give myself a personal review in hopes of that keeping me on track. <br />
<br />
So, if your Goals-Resolutions were to exercise more, work on self development, read the bible more, be a better friend, spouse, mother, co-worker (employee) or better person in general, here's to Motivation...<br />

I heard a great sermon by Charles Stanley today, called "Advancing in Faith". <br />
<br />
Building faith brings a "Test" Below are things that pastor Stanley stated that you should do in order to grow your faith.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Meditate on the word of God (The bible is fuel for our faith)</li>
<li>Apply principles of God's word </li>
<li>Observe the ways of God (God uses suffering to strengthen our faith)</li>
<li>Observe God's work in other people's life</li>
<li>Obey God and leave all the consequences to him (Do what he says and believe that god will work it out for your good)</li>
<li>Answered Prayers (Pray with expectations & confidence-you can do anything that God has called you to do)</li>
<li>Worship</li>
<li>Confess faith failures (God will not cut you off because you fail-God is a forgiving God)</li>
</ul>
<br />
I'll be referring back to this OFTEN... God wants us to trust him<br />
<br />

My blog entry is a little long today, but please bear with me :)<br />
<br />
Sighing>>>I keep learning the same valuable lesson Over and Over again... You know the saying " you will be given the same repeated test until you pass it.. <br />
<br />
Here's my story.... I was upset for weeks and just plain Negative about something that I had to do that I just did not want to do; honestly, it was mainly because I was fearful of failure.<br />
<br />
Over the past couple weeks, I had created all kinds of doubts, possible problematic scenarios in my mind based upon what I've observed-seen as it relates to the situation.<br />
<br />
God says, <span style="color: red; font-size: large;">"We Walk By Faith, Not By Sight"</span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium;"> </span></b>

The below sermon by Joyce Meyer speaks about the importance of a Good Self Image. I really like this snippet because the message incorporates teaching on self love, endurance and patience.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Last year a good friend of mine, gave me "The Everyday Life"Bible-Joyce Meyer Amplified Version and I just love it. I needed some motivation so here's what I read and thought I'd share.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>Joyce Meyer- Life Point </em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em> </em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>God always energizes us to do what he leads us to do. It is only when we go beyond his will to follow our own wills (or other people's desires) that we are likely to get exhausted. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em> </em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>II Corinthians 2:14- God always leads us in triumph, his will is not for us to live defeated, weak lives, he wants us to be more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). His will for us is strength, not weakness; victory, not defeat. </em></span><br />

With a New Year approaching, I thought I'd list a few of Oprah's Quotes on living your best life. <br />
<br />
<div class="fancybox-bg">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><div class="fancybox-bg">
If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><div class="fancybox-bg">
Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><div class="fancybox-bg">
Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.</div>
</li>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
</div>
</ul>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
And last but not least, I think this one is SO appropriate.......</div>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
</div>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><em>"Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right"</em></span></strong></div>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
</div>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
<br />
<br />
<em>So...here's to "US" Living a Better Life in 2012 :)</em></div>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
<br /></div>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
<br /></div>
<div class="fancybox-bg">
Be Blessed!</div>
