"Falling back" into the swing of things!


Its been awhile. Things happen, circumstances change, we grow, and add/subtract things to and from our lives. I have been M.I.A from this blog for awhile. It wasn't intentional but so much has happened with my life. I am back working, schooling, being mom, etc, etc. I finally have a little time to pop my head in from time to time to post and see how other bloggers are. I HAVE MISSED YOU GUYS AND GALS!! I'm back for awhile though. :)

Chrisette LIVE!!

So I went to the Chrisette Michele concert March 5, 2010. It was EVERYTHING I expected and more!!! I really enjoyed myself because she puts on a helluva show. The artists and the bands were really on top of their game. The stage presence was awesome.
This is why I chose Chrisette Michele for music Monday.
Chrisette is an awesome artist at the young age of 26. She puts emotion and shows she means exactly what she's singing. The "Epiphany" album is about break ups and becoming one with a new love. She caters to an audience of all ages and really knows how to reach out to her fans.
If she is ever in your area, the money will be well spent because true talent is really shown. She draws you in to where you feel the words of the song. She really has you contemplating relationships and what true love should be about. Be sure to check out Chrisette Michele if you haven't already. She is truly a treat to enjoy!!!

Showdown Sunday!

Well the Super Bowl has come and gone and the season has officially ended. That lil bar and grill is no longer packed with others getting wings, shrimp, oysters and other finger foods. Those faithful football fans have put away the seat cushions, face paint, fingers, and jerseys til fall.
With that being said, what are we to do with our Sundays now? We will catch up on drafts, all star programs, etc, but we won't have that same game excitement as before. Maybe date nights and family time will happen more often. Who knows what these days may bring?
We just have to wait til pre-season comes again and back to our "comfort zones" we go. What do you have in mind?

Day of Love?!?!

Some people get excited each year for this so called day of love. We want gifts, flowers, chocolates, etc not thinking this should be happening everyday and not just one day of the year. And what about those that don't have a significant other?!?! They have to sit through the nonsense as if though being without isn't already hard enough.
We prepare ourselves each year and spend unnecessary amounts of money to satisfy someone we love (or like) to keep the peace. ME? I show my love throughout the year so when this day comes it won't be a pressure thing as to what I am (or am not) getting because we know we already show love each and everyday. Besides my birthday is around the corner and I wouldn't want to mess up that gift right?!?! *wink*
Not to down those that do give gifts but we all should show love and treat each other special each and everyday so we don't fall into making all the companies happy (by spending our hard earned money) instead of our mates. Til next time be safe and love one another unconditionally!!! Peace

I Love...I Live...I Laugh

What to do when you love someone so much and are truly in love with them yet you love someone else. No one can help their feelings but how do you know when to act on a feeling. Sometimes your mind and heart can be in two places at once and you don't know which way to go. This is a dilemma that a friend of mine is facing.
She has a boyfriend she's been with for 5 or 6 years and they have a house together and have shared these 5 years with plenty of TLC. There is nothing that will break them apart (at least in their minds). They live life fully as a happy couple. The only thing is she has feelings for someone she's been close friends with for years.
She feels as though its wrong for her to like this friend yet wants to act on a relationship. This relationship could possibly jeopardize her current relationship. Her acting on her feelings could end something permanent for what could be a few days of pleasure. Now my response is to play it safe and love the one you're with. She says you can't fight feelings. What do you think bloggers?

Life is like...

...A box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get -Forest Gump
Not that anything is wrong, but I just decided to blog. I have been enjoying 2010 so far and am praying it continues to get better each day. I have laughed, smiled, joked, etc since January 1. I continue to believe and have faith in God and know everything works according to his will.
I was blessed with trials and tribulations in 2009 to be blessed with the overflow in 2010. I am no longer stressing over things out of my reach. I will not continue to live in the same situation as before. I will continue to be a better person. I will continue my education. I will succeed. How has 2010 been to you so far? And what are you contributing to it to make it better?

Tis the season...

...Or is it? I started off December wrapped in the spirit of Christmas and somehow just fell off. With a lot of people around me full of drama and hatred, its hard to keep a smile on your face. When the closest people to you begin to separate themselves from you, you start to wonder what could've caused such animosity in the first place. I've always been a friendly person, yet it seems others can't stand to see you happy.
You get many well wishes when things start going well, then its the down-talk and what was initially well wishes becomes "spite". With so many different attitudes and so-called friends and relatives weighing you down how can you truly have a Merry Christmas. We all have our problems and issues yet we take them out on others that have nothing to do with those issues. It seems one day you have yourself surrounded with the greatest people and the next they're all gone. How can it be a season of love, hope, and giving yet no one is around to participate.
No one wants to isolate themselves from others completely yet everyone isolates themselves from you. Some say you came here alone and you will leave alone so enjoy yourself. I say why not surround yourself with loving people and great friendships to make the days better. I pray for myself, my friends, my relatives, and others to build better and lasting relationships and enjoy this holiday season...HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!!

Time for yourself

Whats the deal with everyone thinking at home moms (or any mom or woman for that matter) dont need a break...We as 24/7/365 mothers need a place where we can all get out, meet up, vent, tell stories, etc. We also need to learn how to take time that we set aside for ourselves and adhere to it. No one knows what we need to fulfill our desires except us. The ones around us will never know unless we voice how we feel and be firm about OUR OWN space and time. We as women have been and will be some of the strongest beings known to man and can withstand test and trials but will "blow a vein" if something isnt done when we want, the way we want, and where we want it. Think of things that interest you and take part in them when the kids are asleep or away at school or even with the other parent or family members.

I take a chance to get a breath of fresh air when my son is asleep or his dad is off work. I also get on CafeMom ( www.cafemom.com) and other websites for at home moms just to chat with those in the same situation or something similar. I absolutely adore going on walks and sitting by the lake but sometimes getting away from "everything" is needed. Take a weekend trip or have a girls night out, or even a date would be a nice, sweet, and simple getaway if there is a sitter of some sort. Not sure if you all have a sitter thats available at anytime needed but it can be quite helpful. Getting away from it all is needed as far as I can see because if the baby crys or coos or sounds like there is some want or need you will be there. There wouldnt be any chance of the spouse, sitter, or family member to calm or soothe your baby because you have adjusted to each cry and longing sound.

Make sure you take the time out for yourself so you may keep your sanity. Try not to refuse any help be it with the kids, help around the house, etc. Be yourself at all times because of the release of added stress from outside sources. Share how you get that "ME' time?!?!?!

A misunderstood woman!!!

Women are misunderstood when it comes to all aspects of life. Whos to say we dont know what we want or dont care about anyone other than ourselves. Women are the most caring creatures and often misunderstood because of a change in attitude or way of thinking. A woman shows love and kindness to any and all who crosses her path. There are times when she may be in need but have something that may help or encourage others, and gives it. Any woman, married, single, straight, gay, or bi, all have that one thing in common. It is a woman who shows the most unconditional love, a woman who heals cuts and wounds, a woman who lends an ear to those who want to talk or express feelings, a woman who will give you her last, a woman that can feed and nourish her young or anyone for that matter and a woman who gives birth to man and woman.
Like myself and other misunderstood women, we can withstand the test and trials of life and keep on stepping, we can travel along lifes journey and live on with others holding close and trailing right behind. No one fully understands how and why a woman would love and care for those that dont even reciprocate the same actions.
We as women have come a long way. From not being able to vote, to straightening our hair, moving into the workplace and even running our own businesses, woman have become an evolved being. So much progress has taken place and so much is still left to be conquered. A misunderstood woman sat on a bus in the wrong area in 1955, a misunderstood woman who invented the windshield wiper, a misunderstood woman who helped slaves to freedom, a misunderstood woman who became an astronaut, and a misunderstood woman who wants to work from home and be with her family and others more than not. How can we as women get men, other women and children to UNDERSTAND us? This journey will be long and hard even if we never live to see it take place. WHAT MAKES YOU A MISUNDERSTOOD WOMAN?!?!?!?
