Take me away from here...

Sing it John Legend! Lol.


Hello all!

I have been feeling sick lately. I told a close friend of mine and he asked if I think stress is the reason I am always sick. I said yes, I really do. I have been fighting to maintain my sanity and that in itself is tiring and stressful.

This morning I was feeling horrible. I sat on my bed and begin to say to myself all of the things I am grateful for. This really worked for me, thank God! So I went to work.

It has been on my mind for a while, so I have put in a request for vacation. I want to be out by the water!!! :) My funds are pretty low so I probably won't be going anywhere. But I really need a break. Any suggestions on a vacation at home or in your local area that was relaxing ect.?


Thanks!


~God bless.~

Unearthing...

I am so anxious
Sometimes it makes me sick
Scared to believe what may come
I know fear is False Evidence Appearing Real and I am working on reminding myself of that daily
I'm scared of not having control
Even though I really don't have it anyway
Being comfortable is starting to feel way too comfortable to me
I start to picture what I want to be in my mind
Then my thoughts of doubt sneak in and make me feel weird, even bad for thinking about change and upward movement
Like I should stay where I am and settle...continue to be unfulfilled
This is nonsense...


I will work and volunteer where I am giving and living a fulfilled life and helping others to do the same!
I will write a book of poetry and publish it.

I will sing from my heart and love it!
I will dance from my soul and love it!
I will use the talents that God has given me and remember that all things are possible through Him.

I will know that I am a spiritual being having a human experience and not the other way around.
I will learn to be 'in-spirit', I will learn to be 'in-spirit', I will learn to be 'in-spirit'!
I will invision CLEARLY and without wavering what I want in and for my life and move through my fear(s).
I will pray and believe that the things that I want are already here. I will speak them into existence.

I will remove these shackles from my mind and heart and learn to live again!

I deserve to be happy, joyful, and excited about life!
I deserve all of the best and will give the best to others!

I deserve to be free!

What about you?

Peace.

Passing of a Musical Legend: Prof. George Edwards

Prairie View Band Director Remembered
Updated: Friday, 05 Jun 2009, 9:45 PM CDT
Published : Friday, 05 Jun 2009, 6:31 PM CDT


Hundreds of people came together Friday to say goodbye to a beloved faculty member at Prairie View A&M University.

Students and alumni from the school's famous marching storm band performed Friday at the funeral of professor George Edwards. He directed the band for 30 years before dying in a car crash last week.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee described Edwards as a great American.

A highlight of Edwards career came earlier this year when the marching storm band became the first to participate in the Rose Parade pilot program, which includes bands from historically black colleges and universities.

FOX 26 Photojournalist Greg Ramirez documented the service.

I always enjoyed listening to the Marching Storm during my college years!

In remembrance of you, I will strive to be the best musician I can be.

Boy don't you know...

You're my baby...my lover my baby...That song is really in my head right now!

So glad to have a 3 day weekend! Yayyyy!! Rest is SO wonderful lol and God is SO good! I have started taking some classes to get my side hustle on! Wanting to join this church choir. Have to keep my mind and feet moving. Not let my current situation keep me down. Remembering that I am the master of my thoughts and I create my future. I will have what I want if only I believe. I am a beautiful child of God who is capable of ANYTHING! And so are you! ;)

Going to take this time to study and listen to my 4 Day Hour Work Week and 7 Habits of Successful People audio books. Maybe write a little bit.

Did I mention that I love my baby!? Lol, well yes I do. It still scares me sometimes...lol so crazy.


You love me
No thought for yourself
My eyes smile

That's how I feel about him right now, lol.

I inhale
And your love fills me
warming my heart....

Sounds like a poem I need to finish...hmmm.

Hope things are well with you all!

Have a wonderful and restful memorial weekend!!

You Are What You Think About...

Hello my beautiful people!!! I hope that things are wonderful and lovely with you!

High energy huh? lol

I am blessed to be here today and working on replacing my negative thoughts with positive ones. I am looking to get into event planning and have been networking a bit and looking for resources to learn from (any suggestions??). Something pretty new for me! Boy I tell ya, after being stuck in a certain place for a while it is a BEAST working your way out. It seems God is bringing it together for me though, people telling me to give them a call and help them with projects. Sounds good to me! All I need to do now is follow through and succeed! (Lol sounds like a poem...)

The Secret has helped me to start to understand that we create our own reality with our thoughts, rather we realize it or not. So it is really time for me to change my thinking or I will continue to stay just where I am. Which is a no no! lol

What Is The Secret

I am actually excited about going to church now and actively being involved. Man I have been praying for that! So glad it is coming together because that is really step one I believe in getting everything else in my life together. I really need to blog more I am just so tired all of the time. :(
This will change...


Keep me in your prayers that I will follow through with the things that God has given me to do.

and....

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO THE LADIES OUT THERE!!!

God bless you all.

From my Ralph corner:


Treasure that is already yours

Before you seek more, ask yourself this. Are you doing all you can with what you already have?

Gratitude is a powerful and undeniable way to bring more abundance into your life. By making full use of what you have, you're expressing gratitude in a sincere and effective way.

Your life already has richness that you have not yet discovered. But if you're constantly wanting more, you'll never even realize that richness is there.

This very moment is filled with joys that are waiting to be experienced. This very day is full of beauty that is waiting to be seen and appreciated.

Decide today to discover some new treasure that is already yours. Instead of striving for more, fully accept and celebrate what already is.

Abundance is all around you. See it and it is yours.
********************************************************************************************

Above and beyond

A little extra effort can bring your life to a much higher level. Once you've done what must be done, do a little more.


The distance you must travel to get from ordinary to outstanding is not really that far. Yet the benefits of going that extra distance are enormous.

You have something very special and original to give to life. Let the best that you are flow out from you with every effort, in every situation.

There is an abundance to which you're already connected. Do the work and put forth the commitment to fully express that abundance through the outcomes you achieve.

The opportunity to make a difference is one of life's greatest blessings. Seize that opportunity and live it with every breath you take.

Know the magnificent joy that effort can bring, and you'll always be eager for more. Go above and beyond, and you'll find it to be a truly wonderful place.

-- Ralph Marston


Have a great one and live purposely!!!

An Awakening...

Hola mama citas! Did I spell that right? lol

I have been in a semi world wind it seems. Happy , then really sad, then just neutral. It's weird. Dealing with the journey of being in a relationship. Oooo wee. Still love my CRAZY baby though. Lol. I'm learning patience through this journey though.

So anxious about something...ready to jump and move...NOW! But I know God moves in his own time. So each and every day I am working to remember that and hopefully to get rid of this anxiety. For real. Ya'll pray for me please.

I want all of those around me to be prosperous and really love themselves. But the best teacher is a good example. So I am working on eating better and thinking positively. My sistas check out http://thesisterhood.ning.com/ when you have time.

Well I am currently on a 30 day journey to change my life and thought process to things positive. God be with me! I have been reviewing The Secret (by Rhonda Byrne) again and how important it is to have positive thoughts to attract positive things. I sat down and realized that negative thoughts and feelings are part of my life DAILY and that REALLY REALLY needs to change. It just seems so hard because that is what I am used to. It's crazy. So, we will see....

I was telling my home girl how I felt and this is what she said to me:

just always remember whose u are and that he is royalty which makes u royalty
and u are a woman of God and ur worth is far about rubies so nothing is better than you
and that if he be for you he is more than all things against you
remember those things when ur down and u will lift urself right back up


Man I love my friends!!!! :D

I miss my man...haven't seen him this week, probably won't see him until next weekend...that sucks.

See there goes another negative thought! lol


A few words from Ralph:

Yes, you are ready


There is no limit to the number of ways in which you can create real value. Breathe deeply, smile lovingly, and just do it. The moment you're in is plenty. The place where you are is an ideal place from which to move forward. Instead of punishing yourself with regret, delight yourself with the possibilities. Get busy creating and living a beautiful now. Yes, you are ready to be your best. Let go of the doubts and let it happen. You can create your very own future, and you are doing so even now. Take this opportunity to fill it with what you know to be good and valuable and meaningful. There is immense beauty in you that you have not yet seen. Share it with the world and live the joy of discovery as that beauty continues to unfold.


Think a new thought

Think a new thought, and the whole world changes in front of your eyes. Adopt a new perspective, and you enter a new reality. What seems to be out there is precisely your perception and interpretation of what's out there. And as such, you can truly make it whatever you choose. At your core is a purpose that provides an endless source of energy. It is new and bright and sparkling in every moment. Seek to know the truth of that purpose, and notice how it feels so very right. Let it be the lens through which you see all else. Know where you are coming from, and you will know where to go. Know where to go, and you will be there.
