The Road...

Hello all,

I am wondering if I am the only person who realise that everyone is caught up in there own confusing, disoriented upheavals to be atleast humanely kind to others.

Just throwing it out there to see how many people try to do a kind deed daily; or daily enough when we remember, being realistic. Sometimes we have to slow down and remember the people who are important to us and try to do something special for them. We all know times are hard and blah blah but something nice doesn't always have to involve spending money. From the goodness of our hearts can work as well. Encouraging words,  making yourself available, whatever that person will appreciate.

Life is short and unpredictable, we dont know when we will need a hand from a friend or even a stranger. As I have said so many times...everyman walks in a circle.

The road might be rough and the events exasperating but with every struggle there is a better understanding. We should try to use our own examples of life struggles to create a kinder environment for others. Too often we are caught up in our personal sphere, that the needs of others are ignored. Not saying you should out of your way to be a hero but a little more thoughtful.

In spite of whatever we are going through we can still find that simple kindness...human to human and express it. Be kind to someone, they may really need it.

Pushing me, if I dont who will! Motivate yourself!

Hi Blog fans,

I dont know where I have been, but it sure was a long time!

I wont waste anytime let me jump right in and say whats on my chest. So, as my title says pushing me, if i dont who will. We have to find encouragement through our own eyes, stop looking to others for encouragement. We have to stop, clear our heads, and look at our goals and figure out the best way to reach them. Be motivated not because someone said you can, but because you know you have to.

We have to push ourselves much further than where we are, be the best you that you can possible be. motivate yourself, if you don't feel like doing it, find a reason deep down. Within everyone there is that inner strength to push or that hunger for more. I say go ahead today and push yourself! motivation comes from within, therefore if we cant motivate and push our-self then in truth, no one else can!


I promise all my blog fans I will have something for you more often!

share your opinion as well.

Sometimes the moments do end

There are a thousand different moments in life, some are worth holding on to but the majority you have to let go. The moments help us to move from one period to the next in our lives. Too often we hold on to a particular moment and wonder why we do not grow; but growth is stilted simply because we cannot let go.

Much like the moments so are people, there comes a time when we just have to let these people go, they were in our lives to help us, they provided that help and that’s it. I believe if you continue to hold on to these moments and people, life becomes so complicated beyond belief.

             

Too often we hold on to the moments hoping it will get better, forcing it in the direction we want it to go, not realizing  that this is not natural. I say be bold let go. Sometimes the moments do end and we need to understand that it is Gods way of pushing us forward.

Take a chance, take a risk, let go and move forward. Let go when its still a happy moment take that picture and move on, stop second guessing or questioning. There are millions and millions of people and moments out there create more than what we limit ourselves to!

Mini Vacation

Hello all,

This is a quick synopsis of my mini vacation to Palm Beach Florida.

            This trip was a long overdue visit to my family and friends in Florida, I had no preconceived ideas as to how I wanted my trip to go, I was very open to whatever came my way, also taking in consideration the fact that I had my 2 year old son.

            To begin I must say I love the easy going stress free nature of Florida, the abundance of pools and beaches, the warm smiles from strangers, the air and never having to dress in more than one layer. The first thing I noticed was how perfect the landscaping was and how uniformed the buildings and houses were, all this made me think and wonder ‘do we not pay taxes in NY’.

            As for vacation things, I really don’t think I did any of those but what I did plenty was go to Wal-Mart! Why in God’s name does Floridians visit Wal-Mart so often? I was really appalled by how many times I went. What was amazing other than Wal-Mart was the country boyz with super long T-shirts super white sneakers and 20 inch wheels spinning to match their grills.

           However there was more to my trip, I had a good time hanging out with dad, who cooked for me and pampered me one whole day and was very excited to have his grandson following him around shouting 'granddad'.  I must also give credit to my cousins who took time out to drive me around and show me what Florida is really about and the simple pleasures in life which I am unable to enjoy here in the Big Apple. Thanks to my friend Sydia who made time for me and took me to a lovely dinner out in Pembroke Pines. I want to also big up Rasta (Danny) for of course being a great host! Overall my trip was very peaceful and relaxing. As for my son he had tons of fun he saw lots of space and he utilized it vivaciously with lots of running and socializing with his cousins!

Oh Florida I will miss all that sunshine and southern accent ‘wey they do that at’ and ‘wey u stay at’

We must record and cherish the simple moments in life, even though they are only memories we have proof of those memories by writing and taking pictures.

Thanks guys for a lovely time!

Self Worth and Self love....

The value of ones self is important in all aspect of our day to day life, how we relate to people, how we function in relationships, how we handle simple problems and lastly just how we allow people to treat us. We have to be the first ones to appreciate our talents and attributes highlighting all the good in our self and knowing who we are before we expect others to highlight them.

I am sure that like many things in life such is taught or for want of a better word 'developed' at a tender age, I am sure if you constantly heard that you are not good enough or you were praised for the things you did well, the outcome will surely be different. This among other things will coin the the value you have for your self.


With all that said lets dive right in; when do we realize that a current situation has gone too far and its all because we did not value ourselves, our beliefs and most importantly our talents. Oft times it is the people who we believe loves us that we try to please and lose ourselves, but if from the start we loved ourselves and knew our true worth then it would be hard for people to push us.

One of the things I find hard to understand is why do some women allow a man to continually put them down and in some extreme case hit them. Another is this whole bleaching idea whats going on with that, as I said before we have to accept our own being. In regards to women allowing men to put them down and sometimes beat them I must say I am not here to judge and ostracize. I am merely using an example to say If we value ourselves and our worth then, it will be much easier to move on from such a situation. We would  know that someone else will accept us for who we are.
Now about the bleaching why would I want to change my complexion is it that I don't accept myself or according to my friend it just style, but what type of style would  recommend that I change me.
I have no idea why some people do the things they do but One thing I know is that when we have enough worth and know it, that sure cuts back on a lot of pain.

please be accepting of your self and not just the positive things but also the flaws, learn to love from within and don't change who you are for anyone. If the people around you tear you down find new people you are worth it.

I am just saying..Relationships

ok so let me start by saying I am not a relationship guru, neither do I have much experience on the topic, I am merely speaking from what surrounds me. Here goes...

I feel as if I have failed before I have began, what makes relationships work? Should I take it from a point where I am  this girl with so many rules and principles for my prospective person to follow. Laying standards higher than my own head just to prove that I am not going to be the girl who is easy or I should just let things flow and be that relaxed girl not naive but just the girl that doesn't have too much rules and goes along with the flow as light as possible? It seems to me that whichever avenue taken is the same results reached. As soon as we get to know each other the relationship starts to break, or maybe we really didn't take enough time out to get to know each other and the real person that we get is not really what we signed up for.
I don't want this to be a male bashing piece because its not, But my friend shared a very interesting story with me it is 'the new cow syndrome' where a bull is more interested in a  new cow than an old one, some studies even states that the bull will not have sex with a cow more than once. Imagine now if this is really how men are ( not with the sex but just finding a new girl more interesting) if this is the case I am in a revolving door. Enough babbling and down to the real 'nitty gritty' why cant people stick it out in their relationships like our grandparents and old time people? Is it that we have so many choices and distractions that we don't have to try hard with anyone or we are simply choosing the wrong person? I would love some feedback on this especially from people that are in relationships that are working. please feel free to share your stories.

Blessings, cheers to love!

Oh Island in the sun

Oh Island in the sun where handcart men scream at pedestrians,
and higglers curse for touching without buying,
Oh Island in the sun where taxi men fighting over passengers,

Oh Island in the sun where children are free to walk miles to and from
school shouting and playing, where high school children crowd the
bathroom to wash face and clean shoes and fix up all day long to
go home,

Oh Island in the sun where Rasta man smoke weed from sun up till sun down and
try to convert 'ball heads' Oh Island where everything shut down on
Sundays and after all holiday you get the Monday,

Oh Island in the sun where you have to truly live to know that not
everywhere has white sand beaches!
