Why Don't We Fall In Love?...

I'm feeling like Amerie and asking why don't folks just go with the flow? Life is far too short for hesitation. One thing I've learned is that you have to be happy. Money isn't going to make you happy, not in my opinion, it just makes life a little easier. One less worry. I don't want to leave this earth with any regrets. I wanna die with a big smile on my face. Do everything you want to do in life. Just as long as you don't hurt anyone else. Go to the top of the Empire State, go to that state or country you always wanted to visit, try all the daring things you wanted to try and never had the courage to, be brave and have faith. I believe that deep in my heart, I know exactly what all the answers are. I just have to get up enough courage to accomplish all the things I know GOD has in store for me. I don't know who my soul mate is. I don't think I've met him. But he has to be someone who knows and understands that life is truly a gift. And someone who intends to make the most out of that gift. Someone who praises the entity responsible for that gift and this beautiful Earth that embodies us all. A paradise made up of laughs, smiles, joys, tears, and miracles. Sometimes, we forget just how beautiful life is and all the things that accompany that beauty. It's not always going to be bright and sunny days. You must learn to appreciate the beauty of GOD and the wrath of GOD. You have to accept the good and the bad. With every life comes death. Everything good has an evil counterpart. That's just life. Dangers and perils are part of life and part of this world. You have to be cautious, and remember just how precious life is. And also remember who died so that all of the human race could be saved. Don't forget the reason for the season yall.

Peace...

Are you Generous?...

I've found in life that being generous is not a trait everyone has. I'm so glad that my mother instilled that value in me at an early age. I don't want money so bad that I have to betray my beliefs and values. I'd rather be broke then to sell my soul. It just isn't worth it. I can't find it in myself to take advantage of another human being. I would feel so guilty. Therefore, I'm generous. Maybe a little too generous. But I've often found that a closed hand can neither give or receive. In other words, how can you receive any blessings, if your hands are closed. If you give a bum on the street $3.00, it doesn't matter what that bum does with it. All that matters is your intention and your heart. GOD doesn't judge you by another's actions. So if the bum used that money to get high or drunk, so what. That's between that person and GOD. It's not your matter to be concerned with. If you give $15 to a church and the pastor is stealing money, so what. Your heart was in the right place. GOD knows this and will bless you for your generosity. If you keep your hand open, you will see that GOD will continue to bless you. It might not be next week, or next month, but you will be blessed for keeping others in your thoughts and prayers. Remember that yall...
And give a dollar every now and then. You might get it back ten fold.

Being a Mother...

Has to be the hardest job ever. Forget about the dangerous and challenging jobs you seen on TV. This job is a life time commitment with little or no financial gain. I often wonder what my life would be like if I didn't become a mother. Probably dull and boring. At least I have a three year old to share my bed every night. I know all yall single girls is jealous. You don't know what you missing. But seriously, some folks really want to have children and they can't. Well, it's a constant challenge. I'm always wondering if I'm doing the right thing. Am I being the best mother I can be. To be honest, I'm tired a lot of the time. Being a single mother takes it's toll. It's definately a two person job. But some times you have to deal with what GOD gives you. I have a beautiful child, I guess it's just me and him. When he's away, I miss that little body next to me. He's all I have.
