Infestation

There seems to be an endless epidimic of negativity going around and I'm trying to use everything in my power to not get infected with this growing infestation of negative thoughts, vibes, actions and words. What we sometimes fail to realize is that we are being constantly watched by others even when we dont think that we are. Our examples can either encourage or discourage. There is great power in the way that we present ourselves to familiar and unfamiliar faces. There is also great power in our words and how we say or address certain things. Although I definitely have caught myself in weak moments, which becomes dangerous because I am further more making myself immune to the devestation that this infestation brings. If we cant bring solution then lets not add to the problem......I will recite this also to myself daily because it is so easy to fall victim to the beginning of a bad situation. I will chose otherwise. Oneluv and GodBless.

Why I Thank God For A Sense Of Humor

The thing that sometimes takes life's suprising on edge and most possibly annoying situations from critical and possibly stressful to hilarious and lightweight is my God given sense of humor. Yes! Everyday I am severely grateful for this asset. This tool also know as my sometimes twisted sense of humor allows me to learn how to laugh at the things that are done to try to get under my skin or just the all too familiar "foolish" things of this world. It shows me that alot of things are not in my control so why stress, pout or lash out about it? A joke always makes me feel better and makes the difficulties simmer down to entertainment, epiphanies and exceleration. So, at the end of each day I am so thankful to God to have the choice to laugh instead of choosing to be emotionally sensitive over the tiniest things in life. Oneluv and GodBless.

A women of great virtue. What we should all strive to be.

http://bible.us/Prov31.10.NLT Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing her food from afar. She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls. She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard. She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night. Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber. She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy. She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes. She makes her own bedspreads. She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns. Her husband is well known at the city gates, where he sits with the other civic leaders. She makes belted linen garments and sashes to sell to the merchants. She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness. Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!” Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

It's nice and I'd like to have it but I can live without it.

I dont need to have fancy decor to let me or other people know that I'm living good although it is nice to have, I dont need it. I dont need expensive shoes on my feet to make a stylish stand, I can decorate my own shoes (hello craft store) and then I will gain my own genuine personal style. Now dont get me wrong its nice to have a nice pair of expensive quality shoes but its not a necessity. I dont need luxury although it may be nice to have, I sometimes prefer the simple and less luxurious things in life. Ultimately you will see that they reap more benefits in terms of longevity, oppose to having or yearning for something luxurious and temporary. Oneluv and GodBless.

The betterment of myself week.

Its that time again........the betterment of myself week This week was a good one or should I say a life enhancing one. I started the week off by getting my spiritual renewal with a great sunday service in church, which was needed and much appreciated. As I continued the week I shifted my thoughts on enhancing my mind by signing up for free classes to refresh and update my knowledge in some helpful potential work and business related tools. I also treated myself to some more vitamins (b complex and a multi vitamin) to enhance my health for the greater good. I got outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather while I got the chance to and I also did some research on some material that can possibly boost my way of thinking and way of percieving things of importance. To sum this week up I put myself in a position of repeating for practice in the things that can help me to enhance myself and become a better me by not the standard of this world but the standard of who God has chosen for me to be. Have a blessed week and I encourage everyone to explore their own personal journey of the betterment of yourself day or week. Oneluv and GodBless.

Wonder Woman

When I was a teenager in high school I was the very quiet and nice girl who was kind of loner. I was young, insecure and sometimes very shy, so occassionally my mind would wander to a fantasy of a future of recognition where people would know who I was, what I did and what I excelled at. Of course I was also going through a phase of feeling completely alone and absolutely cynical and unappreciated(like a lot of teens do). Today as I look back on that imprinted fantasy/goal that I once had for my future as I see how quickly it is transforming into a completely different fantasy/goal. I realized that I am a simple person that likes simple things and sometimes occassionly outlandish things (just to mix it up a little). But as I phase out into a different chapter in my life I sense myself gravitating towards different levels of expectations. I don't need everyone to know what I'm doing, what I'm capable of way and what I can excel at. I would rather it be the opposite now. I would rather be a mystery, a suprise, a secret weapon of shock and awe. Just know that I have something great building in me and I'm capable of executing it when opportunity approaches and when I'm ready to share it and not just show it off. I Don't want to share every move I'm gonna make with everyone, I'd rather keep the buildup in the right ears and hearts of some until the greatness comes to its peak. Nowadays I'd rather hear: "I don't know what she's gonna do but I feel like its gonna be worthwhile or she's getting the job done (whatever she's doing)", and not "yeah I already know what she's gonna do, she told me a thousand times." Some things are better left unsaid and better off respected when seeing the final result in action. I want to be that kind of wonderwoman.

The thing about validation

Almost everyone feels the need to be validated at one point in time or another. Whether it be someone showing off their knowledge of something in exchange for attention or something as simple as changing jobs for the mass to a specific par range. We all as human beings have suffered from the need to feel appreciated and valid. We want to feel smart, we want to show what we know, we want to try out what the next person has referred to us and we lovvvvve confirmation of what we already know! Honestly who  doesn't (to some subconscious extent)? Now, I am not pointing the finger at others but also at myself because I also find myself a victim of this sick flaw of my human nature or flesh (whatever you want to call it). So, as I dug deeper into this fascination that some of us may have for the need to feel valid, I came to a realization. When we fall into this trap that leads to second guessing, sometimes stressing and ultimately: self destruction we throw away a piece of our true selves (little by little) and inherit a manipulated version of someone or something else that was never really intended for us to take on. We take a job that was intended for someone else, we get blinded by money and lose sight of the simple pleasure that came with a desired hobby, we depend on attention and confirmation for the little things we know, we become the outsider looking into ourselves and all the things that we forgot we were capable of loving to do. The solution starts with getting back to ourselves......what we love to do but not  what we love to do for the sake of monetary gain, praise or because it looks good on our "life resume." Let's get back to doing things for the sake and the beauty of just wanting to do it with nothing in return. Let's not just do it to see where it can get us but do it to see how we can grow and learn through it and then see what unfolds. Let's do it because we have a passion a joy, excitement and a desire to do it without anyone paying attention. Without requiring some type of validation let's get back to the basics. This will be my work in progress.
