Not the FaceTime on your phone, but when you see yourself or something in the clear without you being able to ignore the facts. I had some FaceTime recently while listening to my thoughts in my head. The things we tell ourselves, the fears, doubts and everything you can think of to sabotage your happiness without you knowing it is going through your head daily and you don’t even know it until you be still. Regardless of what he or she is doing or probably said about you, done to you, or what you haven’t accomplished yet or the lame excuse as to why doesn’t matter at ALL!!! What you really hear is the FEAR talking! If it’s true, then what? Or WHY are you avoiding something or saying something that needs to be done or said? It’s all boils down to fear of something you have to face. We can call it procrastination, but what is the cause? You won’t get to pass go and go on and finish your goals, or even take that next step to your happiness. That is FaceTime! Now man up/ woman up, and take back your power!

Don’t get caught up in yesterday when right now you’re feeling all the pain….

“Sometimes it takes years to know your worth and know that you are worthy of so much more than we accept from others.”

So I ask the question that was asked of me, “Have you had the blessing to waking up with a purpose and a smile?”

How many times have you wondered if you’ve found your soul mate? What is a soul mate defined? A soul mate is defined as: a person who is perfectly suited to another in temperament, a person who strongly resembles another in attitudes or beliefs ideological soul mates.

Have you encountered yours? Are you with them or they with another? Is it possible you see them as yours but they have not defined you as theirs? What do you do, how do you go on a dating journey when knowing you’re comparing them to someone they’ll never be?
There’s no easy solution for this problem because just because you’re in touch with what and who you want doesn’t mean the soul mate you’re claiming is at the same place. But for God sakes, don’t try to fit every female or man in the same box as the one you find as your true souls place. It will lead to a disservice for yourself and a loathing for the stand ins.. my advice, love yourself not to settle. It’s not enough true love in this world already.. and it’s often replaced by temporary shallow moments spent with strangers that will never satisfy your soul. So if you’ve met your soulmate, the one that has rendered every aspect of your needs, stay true to your definition. It’s better to have encountered and experienced your soul mate fora brief moment in time than to experienced it and spend your life trying to duplicate perfection. Be patient and wait for it to come back to you.❤️

It’s a couple of months within the new year and some of us have started these RESOLUTIONS to better ourselves. Some have vowed to exercise, do less social media, and delete some bad seeds out of our lives. How easy it is to vow better days ahead because these are the things that has weakened, hurt and distracted you from your greatness! However, allow me to play devils advocate. YOU choose to surf the web.. Daily. On breaks. In between red lights while driving.As soon as you wake up…and once again before bed!🤷🏽‍♀️

You decided to eat those extra snacks in bed, and allowed your gym membership to be a ghost in your life.

Now those bad seeds..🤔 Let me guess, they made your life hell! I mean always wanting something and for the life of you, you can’t imagine one good reason you even know them right? The nerve of them actually sharing your space! Texting or calling to say hello, and small chit chat. Yes! Definitely get rid of them! After all, you’ve never picked up the phone to text or talk with them on your own! Begone with them!

Now that you have your perfect 2020 in perspective! You’ve kept in shape, stayed away from the bad influences of social media that has distracted you from total greatness, and blocked or deleted those dead weights out of your life, how happy and many goals have you reached?

* Than baby, maybe it wasn’t all them EXCUSES above.. maybe your focus and dedication needed to be adjusted by YOU. Maybe your friendships or acquaintances fell off because of you. Whatever the reason, 365 days passing and nothing changing can’t be everyone’s fault and not any of it yours.. get it together .😉

We should never forget those times people have been our shoulder or listening ear. You’ve heard, “we sometimes forget what people have done but not how they made you feel…” My advice is to forget neither…💞♊️♊️♊️♊️

You’ve heard the saying “time waits for no one,”well it’s true. While sitting on my deck, I thought, it’s time to accept and make amends with any circumstances any choices I made or didn’t, any that was made by others. Right now, You May have someone hurting and your focus is on those that could care less about your journey or situations.. focus on the latter.. love on someone that needs a little boost. Focus on your path and if that means taking a break from the inevitable than do so. It’s not giving up, it’s giving in to the time that is quickly passing, the time that you can never get back. Walk in stride with time, don’t let it leave you behind with regrets… live your days purposely.

I’m sure you have heard the saying, “Don’t wear your feelings on your sleeve?” When you love or have a respect for someone that blatantly hurts you, it’s hard to overlook it. However, even with this saying, it seems to basically tell you and myself to protect ourselves. There is one of my favorite scriptures that also gives us specific instructions on how to prepare for this. In Proverbs 4:23, it tells us
“Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.” — Let’s not allow anyone to take your joy from you..It’s okay to have a tender heart, a forgiving soul..What’s not right, is allowing your heart to become sad because of the inconsistencies of another. BLESSINGS TO YOU~L.A.M

It’s not the words that are spoken, but the silence that’s heard. It’s not the gifts that mean so little, but the presence of that friend. It was never just the thoughts of the physical touch, but the memories of how they touched your hearts…and if it’s not then it very well may be love..

It’s amazing that when experts speak of “loving for a lifetime,” they offer readers statistics. This is absolutely the opposite of what love is! These experts says after time passes passion declines. The problem is, the article was more likely written by someone who has not had the blessing of being in love, and staying there. All relationships whether just budding or years that holds memories has their own stories, their own paths. But to say to love for a lifetime is impossible, they have no definition of eternal love. This is unconditional, overlooking faults and shortcomings but loving the very essence of the person because they are who they are. The ability to look at these faults and give a reasoning..no not an excuse, but a reason to love them regardless of their imperfections. Love them because somewhere, some how, you are connected by the pure intimacy that your two souls are sensing that they have found home. Even when you have not seen them and days runs by that turns to weeks, months, and even years. Others may spark your attention momentarily but hasn’t awaken that part of you that says this is your peace. You won’t find statistics to speak on those numbers, because this is rare and often said to be fairy tales. No matter what anyone says to me, I have found, embraced and will cherish my gift of having the blessing to love for a lifetime…
