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:)

How To Believe
Hello Everyone,
Life is something that we can not predict it's every twist and turn, we hope, pray and anticipate. This is where believing and faith comes into play. We are not made to know everything, nor could we handle it if we did. God knows how much we can bare and when we can bare it. Thus, life happens.
So, how does one believe? First, you must believe that God is almighty and that He keeps His word, no mater what. We, however, must trust Him and look to Him for help. One believes by accepting the fact that God may not come when we want Him, but, He is always on time. One believes by surrendering worries upon Him and trusting that He will come through. One believes by letting God be there through it all and yield not to how one perceives things should be, but, look forward to God's results, which will far exceed anything one could ever imagine.
I have learned that God is a true friend and wonderful heavenly Father. He makes His presence known, when we need His shoulder to lean upon, He will let us lean as long as we need. Someone very near and dear to me once recited the Serenity Prayer to me, I am so thankful. It helped me so much. I would always reflect on the first part. I would like to share the entire prayer with you.
Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
Believe that God will come through.

When Someone Hurts You And You Need Peace Of Mind
Hello Strong Men & Women,
It seems that I have been having conversations with so many hurt or simply unhappy people lately. I feel compelled to blog on the subject. You know, I see hurt as something felt in a place 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, that person's mood, the fact that they have begun to be affected by the person, even fatigue sets in and it happens, 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 good to listen at times, and say nothing other than 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 your kindness, real sense of friendship and genuine compassion for them. In some 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. I will add that decisions we make are not always good ones and therefore, we somewhat dig our own ditch. But, what I want to do is 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 before. Second, I want to say, do not place blame on you for not seeing or maybe you did and 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.
There is a video that I watched awhile ago and I heard the song sung by a different artist. The song is titled "Peace of Mind" sung by Lauryn Hill. During the time that she sung this song she was hurt and in tremendous pain over a breakup, the song gave her an outlet. Never feel that you can not recover from pain and unhappiness. It is a part of life's lessons and we have to learn to grow from them and be encouraged to move passed them. You can recover, you can find happiness, you can heal, you can find peace of mind. I have my own story too, so, I understand your hurt. Just never doubt God's power to heal your hurt. Let Him Be Your Peace Of Mind.

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:)

When You Don't Feel Ready For Change
Hello Strong Men & Women,
There comes a time in life when change is inevitable, but, we are just not ready. The part of us that is not ready, is uncomfortable and can not see all that change will bring. However, if it is for the better of your health, sanity or spiritual well being, then guess what, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Many times, we become complacent in pain, misery, grief or meritocracy and there is no real vision or perception of change, it is too unfamiliar. Complacency steals time, joy and dreams. We are made to fulfill purpose in life, God does not want us to not live our purpose, nor does He want us to stay stuck in any situation.
Change can be shockingly painful, because, we realize that we may have to leave others behind that pull us down, let go of negative situations in our lives, give God control and do as He says and at times, it can really hurt. However, it is what is best, if we truly want to be happy.
Change for the better can only make you better. There is nothing that God can not do, so you know that He can step right in the middle of your situation and pull you to the top. We only get (1) life and it is not for others to destroy, but for us to live and live it to the best of our ability. We can not control others, but we can be in control of us. We know in our hearts what is going to improve our life, it is the sigh of not wanting this to be our reality, but most times, it is. Therefore, if we choose not to change, the situation will only stay the same or worsen. My advice to you is to pray, tell God your fears, but also, give Him your trust.
You will be o.k. You may not be ready for change, change is ready for you.
I hope the song below inspires you.
