Hello Stong Men & Women,
You have been stopped in your tracks interrupted by that very thing that you have notoriously, dodged, ran from, side stepped and frankly feared and you decide to take a chance and not run. As you suspected or maybe not, it blows up and now regret grips your hand tightly to comfort your suspicion, to put you back on the running track and back in shape to dodge, run etc. Well, everything is not going to work out all of the time, at least you dared to try, as the saying goes, "Nothinng beats a failure, but a try." If you decided not to try, because you feared failure, you would have never learned that you can be open to give a chance to something that you have turned your back on for sooo long. Disappointment may set in, but only give it a moment then move on. Everything and everyone is not a good fit, but something or someone is. It does not matter so much if things went good or bad, but that you dared to try. What others may deem as easy, may not be easy for you, the wonderful thing is, if you are valued for trying, if you are worth it and special enough in giving it a chance, then, it will fall into place. Be grateful about what you have learned, take the positive away from the lesson and let that part grow to enhance your future experiences.
I say to you that all of you are beautiful for trying, beautiful souls, beautiful minds, beautiful hearts. Do not be discouraged and by all means, do not revert back to the old, but embrace the newness of what you have unlocked and opened. Baby steps never hurt, but, keep stepping. The right situation, the right person will meet you where you are - wherever that is and will have no pains about showing you that you are worth the wait, the understanding, the talks, the time and so much more.
With that said, breathe deep and exhale:)

When You Are Hurting
Hello Strong Men & Women,
I have been having conversations with so many hurt or simply unhappy people lately, it seems. I feel compelled to blog on the subject. You know, I see hurt as something that is considered indescribable and unreachable. Hurt can take one to a place of surrender, wherein, you give in to what you have been fighting against. For example, someone may be determined not to be emotionally affected by someone close to them that puts them down, but the day comes when everything makes for the perfect storm, the melt down, when all emotions are on the loose and the pressure cooker explodes.
I had various conversations with individuals that touched on reasons why they feel hurt or unhappy. So, I am thinking, what can I say to ease their hurt or unhappiness, but it is also good to listen and say a prayer in your heart. I am not an expert who can say do this and you will be rid of all hurt and unhappiness. But, I do know from experience that prayer and actively working on becoming strong is vital in healing. Sometimes, the people that we let into our lives do not have overall good intentions and do not reciprocate kindness, real sense of friendship and genuine compassion for others. In many cases, there are relationships and friendships that are broken because one hurt the other.
I could go through many situations where people become hurt and unhappy. Instead, I want to encourage anyone reading this who is hurt and just can not figure out why this happened. First, I say, for every moment that you want to play back what happened, don't, pray instead, give yourself room to feel the sadness that it brings then, be thankful for the revelation. Sometimes, when we see things after the fact, we get upset, which is human, but be thankful too that you know what you did not know before. Second, I want to say, do not place blame on you for not seeing or maybe you decided to ignore signs. All you can do from here is take in the lesson and apply it to your future. Give yourself credit for even feeling hurt. Some people just are cold and care very little. Just to have feelings that are real and can be extended to another is in its own way a blessing. If you are caring and loving remain that way. Do not become bitter and begin to build the highest emotional wall ever, just be thankful for the heart that you have to be kind, gentle, thoughtful, understanding and good, by no means does this make you gullible. It makes you human, living in God's light.
Never feel that you can not recover from pain and unhappiness. It is a part of life and we have to go through it with hope and courage. You can recover, you can find happiness, you can heal, you can find peace of mind. Let God help, He will listen and will never walk away.

What Is Your Monday Song?
Hello Strong Men & Women.
This is my Monday song. Through it all, God has worked it for my good. I thank Him for my song.
In our lives, we make mistakes and for those mistakes, we must go through a storm to wake us up.
The hurt, pain, misfortune and failures that we endure, many times, are because we did what was pleasing to us, not pleasing to God. Thus, the storm comes, the winds blow, the thunder roars and the lightening flashes, but that heavy rain helps to wash it away, it helps to usher in the sun, it serves a purpose to refresh us, awaken us, help us to see our errors and make us feel whole, inspite of our mistakes. God uses our mis-step to teach, refine and take us to a different place that will remove the stain of mistakes and give us a smile that only He can give.

Are You Comfortable? Repost
Hello Strong Men & Women,
Do you feel quite content with where you are, but still have a dream? How can that be you ask? Well, it can happen by feeling that you have done pretty good for yourself, a decent job, financially fit and just satisfied. Then, you look at your dream and determine, it does not seem attainable, but that is no big deal, because........you are comfortable, no real complaints right?
Comfort does not necessarily equal true fulfillment, until you pursue your dreams and make them happen, you should not lay back in your easy chair. There is more life to be had. When we see dreams as being unattainable, that is when negative thoughts begin to tell you, "look at that dream, it is too far for you to reach," "You need to be satisfied with what you have accomplished, not many have done what you have done, stop trying to be so happy." Have you heard this one, "Why put yourself through the pressures of going after that dream, it is not worth facing its' challenges, you are afraid anyway?" All of this is just mental noise and has nothing to do with anything until, you listen to it.
Get out of being comfortable, step out of your comfort zone and start getting in motion. It does not have to be a quick motion. It is like riding a bike, the gears have to get in alignment, you have to repeatedly peddle for a nice smooth ride, but to get to that point, you start out with a slow peddling motion, you have to hold on to the handle bars to really get some momentum, but if you just stay in motion, keep peddling......guess what, it begins to happen, it gets easier and now you can ride with no hands. Hills maybe in the path, but, if you keep peddling, you will make it to the top, because you stayed in motion. As fun as biking is, it is not always easy, it takes effort, safety gear, which for us, is ...prayer. However, along the way, you will see beautiful scenes, you may meet others who share your ambitions, there will be nice smooth surfaces. It will not happen if you do not try and to your surprise, you might become uncomfortable.
My message is, do not consider comfortable as where you should be. If you do not have dreams and are truly satisfied, then, be comfortable. This does not pertain to you. But, if you have this burning desire that just will not leave you alone, then you need to get in motion and stay in motion. Do not stop because of negative thoughts or even negative comments from others. This has always been my feeling, those that do not support my dreams did not make me. He who crafted and created me and wired me a certain way has given me this dream, ultimately, the dream is actually my purpose. So, my dream constantly nudges me and keeps me in motion. I am going to keep peddling until I get there. So, for you, please keep peddling too:)
