To make a happy home and family.
To help family and friends.
To get healthy and fit.
To read. To learn. To just be.
To have integrity in everything that I do
To be thankful. To be patient. To be faithful. To set an example.
To pray.
Pet Peeves are those anthills that you turn into mountains because it somehow presses your buttons and takes you on a first class trip to angryville.
I have a few pet peeves but one that really irks the fck out of me is “when someone blows their nose in my presence" – eff, eff now, excuse yourself and go lets say in the bathroom?
Its rare moments like these where I get the urge to step out of character, and slide tackle a crab upside their head. *woosah* zen habits don’t seem to cure these vile acts from getting under my skin …
A girl who lives, laughs and loves.
Nothing holding her down, she listens to her heart and stretches far to reach her dreams.
Placing all hopes and trust into something higher, she sees the light of inspiration and takes the leap of faith.
She is focused, determined, grounded and moving forward, never stopping to looking back.
She holds on to no frustration but thrives on every experience as growth.
She is beautiful. She is beautiful. She is beautiful.
She is YOU

Someday isn’t real, but its real to me
“Someday.” *Ahh. The lies we tell ourselves when we want what we truly want but don’t believe we can have it*
Someday never happens because life just doesn’t work that way, but I will remain hopefull that my Someday will come sooner than later.

Is he out there some where, is he out there waiting for me ....."
Is he out there some where, is he out there waiting for me ....."
My hair stylist was in a talkative mood today he said “You nice girl. You have boyfriend?”. “No”. “Why?” He seemed so bewildered and in shocked. I shrugged, still too traumatised to muster up an answer that wasn’t monosyllabic. “Anyway you young, got lots of time” I gave him a smile and he responded with a knowing laugh.
I think we had a moment.

My policy is "Depend on no one". It isn't a very good policy but I've seen where people can be spiteful at times.
In no particular order ... *note to self*
1) Preserve your sexy
All women need to preserve their sexy. Not for men, but for themselves. The more you preserve your sexy and embrace yourself ... the more attractive you become. It's a virtuous cycle.
2) If "he's not that into you" ... find someone else or remain content with yourself
3) Raise your standards.
Apparently women are too picky. Myth! We're not picky enough. I personally think all women should raise the bar. Expect more! Expect more respect, more kindness, more love, more cake, more *insert virtue*
4) Become More
If we expect more, we’ve got to become more. Want more respect? Be more respectful. Expect more love? Be more loving.
5) Don't tell ALL your friends
Everyone doesn't need to know what's going in your love life. Know what to keep to yourself.
6) Own Your Power
You can not pretend to be anything less than you are. You are so huge. You can’t go around dimming your light just to be walking with someone else. What you really want is to be completely full of yourself so that your cup runneth over so you give it to other people. Not in an arrogant way but so that you absolutely own your own power. OWN YOUR OWN POWER! ~Oprah Winfrey
7) Take each day as it comes and enjoy the moment

I dont offer advice. EVER. I use to but now *bleh*
5 reasons why I don’t give advice:
1. 99.99% of the time the person who wants the advice knows exactly what they are going to do anyway.
2. People will generally use the advise you give them to counter-criticize you. Yes I have been called self-righteous and judgmental.
3. People generally don’t want advice; they want a sounding board.
4. Your advice could be wrapped in hundred dollar bills … if a person isn’t ready to receive the life lesson they won’t get it.
5. Sometimes giving advice is like the equivalent of peddling bullshit. Often times where something may have worked for you; it won’t work with others.

A YEAR TO....
Experience. Dream. Risk. Close your eyes and jump. Enjoy the free fall. Choose exhilaration over comfort. Choose magic over predictability. Choose potential over safety. Wake up to the magic of everyday life. Make friends with your intuition. Trust your gut. Discover the beauty of uncertainty. Know yourself fully before you make promises to another. Make millions of mistakes so that you will know how to choose what you really need. Know when to hold on and when to let go. Love hard and often and without reservation. Seek knowledge. Open yourself to possibility. Keep your heart open, your head high and your spirit free. Embrace your darkness along with your light. Be wrong every once and a while, and don’t be afraid to admit it. Awaken to the brilliance in ordinary moments. Tell the truth about yourself no matter what the cost. Own your reality without apology. See goodness in the world. Be Bold Be Fierce. Be Grateful. Be Wild, Crazy and Gloriously Free. Be You.
