"My ex-girlfriend taught me a valuable lesson, if you don’t show a woman you love her and give your all to her—she knows it."

So today I've been reading through all the blogs I've subscribed to but never look at, lol. I came across one that I think will make the top 10 list, just so I can keep up with his posts. The blog is BLACKGIRLSAREEASY.BLOGSPOT.COM ... and I will admit that the only reason I even clicked on it is becasue I was ready to read this fool for such a ratchet damn blog title. However, after reading through some posts I realized that although the blog title is very ignorant (he admitted it as well) he really isn't. It's actually a blog about relationships or in some cases just relations, from a man's POV. I'd check it out, ladies ... if only for a peak inside the mind of man who seems to have done it all AND actually learned something from it!

SN ... the title quote is very, very true ☺

IMPOSSIBLE ... is nothing.

I heard this song about a week ago while watching Basketball Wives and immediately fell in love. It's been awhile since I heard a song that made me feel the lyrics. I'm always a sucker for a good ballad and heartbreak lyrics. I'm not even going through what Shontelle is singing about, but I sure can remember a time when I was ... and it seems to me that she has stolen that page straight from my journal. I can remember feeling like I would never get over certain things that certain people did. I can remember feeling so stupid because I truly felt that it was IMPOSSIBLE for that certain person to do what they did. But with time and experience you come to realize that nothing is ever IMPOSSIBLE ... absolutely nothing. The word itself says ... IM POSSIBLE {Audrey Hepburn} and now I apply this to every element of my life. Everything is POSSIBLE ...

The fine art of "NO"

Your mom needs you to run to the store. The hubby needs his dry cleaning picked up. The kids are bored. Your friend needs advice. Dinner needs to be cooked. The floor needs to be mopped. The dishes won't clean themselves. Your assignment is due. The boss wants to know where your report is right now!

And all you want to do is run and hide!

The thing about being overwhelmed is that it makes you not want to do anything or better yet ... FACE anything. For fear that there is more to come. That the demands will never stop. The truth: they won't. Some-one will always need some-thing from you, just as you will always need some-one for some-thing. It's the way of the world, we're all co-dependent at our best. The trick is in prioritizing what's important and learning to SAY NO to whats not.

Telling someone you love or care about that you WON'T be able to meet a request of thiers may make you feel like a bad person, but I like to think of it as doing that person a favor. Seriously, I'm not joking! Consider this: If I say yes to something that I either really don't have time to do or really don't want to do, how good of a job am I really going to do?! Not only that, when it doesn't come from the heart it looses its effect. You become resentful and have an "attitude" about the task and/or person and nothing good comes from that. You feel like the person "owes" you something and when it's not reciprocated for whatever reason, your resentment grows. Or you spread yourself so thin that even though you don't mind helping out, you're tired and cranky ... and it shows. Either way, it's best to just be honest about what you are really feeling. If you have room for more on your plate and you don't mind helping, go for it! But, when you start to feel overwhelmed or better yet, once you know you're at the capacity of what you can handle before you start to feel overwhelmed, let it be known. You'll save yourself the stress, you'll save yourself time, and most importantly you'll save your relationships. People have no choice but to respect honesty. They may not like it, but if they choose to maintain the relationship they will respect it and it will free them up to be more honest with you as well. They have probably come to you in the first place because they know you'll do a good job ... why jeopardize that rep by performing below standard because you really didn't have time to focus on the task?!?!?! A good friend or family member will understand that you'd do anything for them under normal circumstances. You have to take care of yourself or everyone suffers.

Mom can ask your brother that sits in his room all day with his headphones to head to the store, and maybe Hubby can pick up his own dry cleaning since he's out anyway. The kids can bust the suds if they don't have anything better to do! While, you breeze through your assignment and the report with ease due to your clear mind and relaxed state!  Okay, maybe in a perfect world but you get my point. Somethings can be worked out and once everyone is on the same accord the ship will run much more smoothly. There will definitely be more family-fun nights versus family-vent nights!

So, there you have it! All me & now it's your turn!! It doesn't have to be as long as mine, lol.
 Let me see it ...


Do you have a Plan?!

Do you lead a life filled with all the things you love - including relationships, the career, the hobbies - with energy to spare?! Do you manage the office and the household?! Are you a single girl making it happen for yourself?! Are you doing what you love and loving yourself in the process?!

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are indeed Every Woman!

Being Every Woman simply means that you take on many different hats to fulfill whatever goals you have for yourself and your family. You stop at nothing and allow nothing to block you from living a life you truly love!

So often, we set out to do all the things we love and soon realize that some element suffers, usually ourselves. It doesn't have to be this way and I can show you how you can do & be it all ... and still have time for yourself!
What's Your Plan?

Seriously, take a moment and answer that question. Do you know what it is that you want out of life? Do you know how to go about getting that? Do you know how to organize and maintain everything else in your life so that you actually have time to do & get what you REALLY want?
No? Well then, how do you expect to get what you want? I got this one ... you don't.
It's really very simple. If you have no idea of what you want or how you can get it, chances are you won't get it. It will continue to feel like a dream. Something that you have to be asleep to actually enjoy or even believe in. What you should know is that absolutely A.N.Y.THING that you want in life is possible and the necessary second step is to believe it. When you believe it, you expect it. When you expect it, you align yourself with everything that comes with it.

Notice whats missing yet? ... "IT"

In order for you to believe in something you have to know exactly what "it" is. You have to know that "it" is possible and the only way to do is to figure out how it can be possible.
The absolute first step in getting what you want is to KNOW what you want.
EWNAP focuses on self-love, time management, and goal setting skills to help women clear out mental and physical clutter. This is the only way to figure out and to make room for what you really want in your life!

1 YEAR BLOGAVERSARY!!!!!!

Wow ... it's been a whole year since my very first post!!!!

Absense makes the ♥ grow fonder?!?!?

I definitely believe so...
I MISS BLOGGING!!!!!!

I'll be back soon, blogging buddies!!!

Wanting More

Life takes its stand on things
and you just have to figure out
what it is that you truly want from this
sans negative thoughts and doubts.

If you really believe that it can happen
then that's where the journey begins
You have to know that whatever it is
you'll only get out what you put in.

There's nothing wrong with taking a few steps
even if you're not sure to where it may lead
The important part is that you've taken that step
to cultivate the growth of that seed.

Every successful venture out there
started as "just" an idea
So that's my motivation to succeed
in the 2nd century and the 10th year.

Ms. Keri, baby ...

Wow ... I know I'm late as ALL hell, but I am literally in love with 'A Perfect World'. I've actually had it for a long while, but only listened to the songs that I knew from the radio. The songs I had already fallen for, but had grown tired of hearing .... so, in the case the cd went until recently I needed something to take my mind off the mundane & boring that is my day job. I decided to give the rest of the cd a chance and what do I get ... a blast from the damn past!! I swear I can only currently relate to one song ... Make Love, cause that's how I've been feelin' lately about my Honey bunz. But when I tell you, at some point in time I've felt every single damn thing this Chick is singing about ... it is really crazy. I think she's been reading ALL of my damn journals!!! CRAZY. But I love her for it. Just revisiting without actually having to go that crazy shit, is kinda nice. I'm definitely in my zone with Ms. Keri. Don't change me, Tell him the truth, Where'd you go, Alienated, Intuition, Energy ... My whole damn life story right there.

Quote of the day ...

Love: a temporary insanity ...
... don't I know it.
Photobucket

Love what you do ...

For the Young who want to
Talent is what they say you have after the novel is published and favorably reviewed. Beforehand what you have is a tedious delusion, a hobby like knitting.
Work is what you have done after the play is produced and the audience claps. Before hand the friends keep asking when you are planning to go out and get a job.
Genius is what they know you had after the third volume of remarkable poems. Earlier they accuse you of withdrawing, ask why you don't have a baby, call you a bum.
The reason people want M.F.A's, take workshops with fancy names when all you can really learn is a few techniques, typing instructions and somebody else's mannerisms.
Is that every artist lacks a license to hang on the wall like your optician, your vet proving you may be a clumsy sadist whose fillings fall into the stew but you're certified a dentist.
The real writer is one who really writes.
Talent is an invention like phlogiston after the fact of fire.
Work is its own cure.
You have to like it better than being loved.
~Marge Piercy~
I read this poem today and related immediately.
You have to absolutely LOVE what you do even if no one else loves you for it ... yet!

Where is it when you need it?!?!?



I seriously need to get one ... for a WHOLE lotta' shit!!!!

Letting go of the hurt & pain
is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do,
but trust when I say
it's the ONLY way
to become a better you.
Simple words that I'm still learning to live by ... work in progress.

Music Makes Me Happy

So, I've been running through all my old cds and flipping through youtube videos for the better part of today and I swear to you ... I've experienced every emotion one person can possibly feel in one day!! I've been crying, laughing, staring blankly at nothing in paticular, all because of whatever song is on at any given moment. Sounds like I've on some type of drug, right?!?!? Well, glad to say it ... I'm drug free cause that's the way to be. The only thing that's been gettin' me high today is good ole' MUSIC. Love it, all of it. I've been listening to everything from the old New Edition to the New {but old now!} New Edition!!! Montell Jordan, Aaliyah, Monifah, Total ... even N-Toon. Don't know who that is???? Well, I'm sure you know of Young Lloyd {Street Love, Southside, You, Girls around the world} ... it's the group he started out in many many many years ago, google it. It's crazy, cuz I didn't even know he was in that group and I've been looking for that song "Ready" forever!!! I'm just ramblin' now, but I've definitely been in my zone today. Good times. Good times.
