I've seen alot...

Hello World...

it's been a minute between posts and my apologies.  I've let "life" come between me and my journaling.

I was rummaging through my planner and happened upon an old poem i wrote back in March 2012 and it's a tad bit dark.  I think i was frustrated about some stuff and decided to put it to pen and ink.

Take that to the bank

I've seen too much
I've witnessed repeated inefidelity all my life
When I was a naive individual, I thought that there were those that were different and said "I do" once...
Found out after the divorce that he was no different than the rest..
Even after that, I still had faith in humans and allowed myself to fall for someone.
It wasn't infideloity but a control freak, verbally and mentally abusive....no thanks.
So now, I do what I do.  The one thing someone will NEVER do is hurt me again.  My wall is like titanium kevlar, bullets bounce off and hit the ground with a "ting"!
I refuse to be hurt! I refuse to be hurt!
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever again!
And you can take that to the bank!

There is no music with this post. As you can see by the wording, I am pretty serious on this one. I've seen a lot and so my faith in a successful relationship is very iffy.

it's time to head to bed now (11:34p)

Enjoy your weekend!

It's been a minute..

Hello World...

It's been a minute..click here for your theme music...it's been a long time (as nick and valerie) are singing...since i've posted a new blog.

Life has been interesting to say the least.  The chorus of your theme music asks "is it still good to ya?" And my answer to that is YES!  I am enjoying myself in re-introducing myself to my gifts and talents and not allowing fear to keep me away from great opportunities!  It's liberating to be able to be open and not hold back in all situations.

I just did a FB post about the people i'm connected with that have allowed me to "live" instead of just existing. I mean every word of it! I love the people that push me to be better, even the haters.  Someone used to say "let your haters be your motivators" and as cliche(ish) as that sounds these days, it's a true statement.

So as I close (yep this is a short one) I want to encourage you to continue to push on. Keep your dream in your eyes and don't get bogged down on the process.  It's like Peter trying to walk on the water...as long as he kept his eyes on the objective (Jesus) he was fine but when he looked at the water and the turbulence, he started sinking.  Don't let your surroundings sink you.  Keep your eyes on the prize...another cliche but it has a HUGE meaning.  And don't ever not let it "Feel Good to ya".

*peace and blessings*
