Keep on Keeping On....

Hello World...

What's on my mind....that's the opening phrase that facebook gives you.....

I remember when I had a list of things I wanted to learn to do as I grew up....The world was mine...I couldn't wait to grow up!

Thanks to my Granny I was already a musician by 12, I was singing in church at a young age, I wanted to learn foreign languages, wanted to fly helicopters, airplanes, wanted to be a mom, a wife...the world fascinated me. My uncles were in the military which made want to travel the world like they did which I attempted but my DNA gave me full blown rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at a very early age and it's no need to stay in the military if ya can't fire ya weapon. just staying.

But then somewhere along the lines of life my creativity and vision was muted and I was just existing....zombie-like state (and i don't even like zombies), still today a lot of my life is just existing. But EVERY now and then I encounter an individual or individuals that tap on my spirit man and she wakes up and remembers who I wanted to become.

Slowly but surely I'm heading back towards that original path. I have to dust off my journals and read what I planned and jump back into life. I thank the Universe for connecting me with people that are moving and grooving and make me move and groove. When i encounter them I have two options..wake up and join the movement OR close my eyes to my own vision and choke to death. I think I prefer the first option.

 Moral of this #share ? I hope someone is encouraged to keep on keeping on. Is my life perfect? nope. Was my upbringing perfect? not at all. You see me smiling and laughing and encouraging those that I encounter and that's my way of some self-therapy. I figure if I encourage someone else I'll hear my own words and be encouraged too.

I still need couch time to drill through a BUNCH of stuff. BUT guess what I still have to live and explore, I still have to live a stable life and you do too! Anyone reading this having issues....I encourage you to use the positive energy around you to figure out a way to balance everything, use your encounters to balance your issues. you need a quick cry and pit party..yes by all means take a break and cleanse...but then jump back up and enjoy your life!

And believe me I'm talking to myself as I'm talking to you......

Peace and Blessings.....

I'm THAT girl....

Hello World...

The content of this blog post carried me through may dreams last night...well gave me at least an idea.  I've been blessed to experience some wonderful times and have created some memories that will forever bring a sly smile to my lips. (Click here to jam with me while you read...) and to put you in my mindset.

It started me to thinking MORE about the type of guy that would connect and vibe with me.  So I started thinking about what type of person am I?  Folks ask "so what's your type" all the time but it really depends on what energy YOU are giving out.  So I started to recall my upbringing.  I'm a country girl from a small Texas German town....hmmmm yes let that marinate.  I grew up on ALL music genres I LOVE it all.  I got baptized in the music world at an early age (age 3 to be exact, thanks Granny). Thanks to my Granny Clara Elliott, I can read music and was able to develop my ear.  My granny was the oldest of 10 and had her own brood.  My mom is one of 10 with older and younger siblings that I loved to hang out with.  Wisdom and Fun and that includes my older cousins who were more like big brothers and sisters.  So now...what was I exposed to?

• Music
• Cars
• Electronics
• Tree Climbing
• 10 acres to roam/run/ride
• Free flowing country living
• Fishing
• Some girly stuff (which I didnt really latch onto...i'm not a prissy, shopping chic)

So as a grown azz woman what type of person did I grow into?  A lady that likes to be around positive, open-minded, focused people.  When I hang around guys, my immediate thought is NOT oooo he's boyfriend material...I grew up kicking with the male people so I'm just kicking it like everybody else.  GREAT bodyguards when/if the time comes. LOL!  I'm that girl that can be cute, hang with the guys, jam to music, can talk cars and a few other hobbies and things.  I like it ALL!  Yes I'm THAT girl.  I don't need the labels, I don't need the purses.  Give me a good quality made piece of luggage or purse that will last while I roam.

Now, I've grown to appreciate my curves since they aren't going anywhere so, uuuh yeah there's that (Shamless less plug: The Lyngale Agency for models 40 & Over).  And shouts out to my trainer - Curtis Supreme Fitness for keeping me right! (if i can just stay obedient and consistent. LOL)

I'm that girl that can go camping and knows to pack the off spray, a can opener, soup, a pop-up tent will do and can do a survival stint if need be...thanks to my military training (Shouts out USAF - 610th SPS).  What type of girl am I?  One that enjoys it ALL.

NOW....what type of dude appeals to me?  One that can flow and vibe with me and keep me interested.  My Aries sign seems to reiterate that and I'm finding that same personality trait with fellow Aries!  I can't deal with someone that is looking to lock me down and stifle my creativity, hell I do enough stifling on my own with my few bouts of self-doubt I don't need assistance in that area.  I don't do controlling dudes, I've experienced that and it's not fun!  What trips me out is that there are guys out there who plot to control women due to their lack of proper upbringing.  What a scary thing!  No, what I need is someone that will inspire me to do something else.  Give me some ideas with what to do with my current skillset AND do MORE!!  I'm THAT girl and I'm waiting on THAT dude!  Oh man it's going to be SO freakin' awesome when we finally link up!  I'm excited!  Lemme tell you I've come in contact with some that are VEEEEEEEERY nice.  So I know I'm up for something great!

My words of wisdom today ladies and gents....think about who you are and what you've grown into and instead of looking for the best looking specimen and always thinking you need a certain look based on status.  You'd be REAL surprised at what REALLY works for your personality.  Get with who is GREAT for YOU!  I promise you that you will enjoy life when that puzzle piece connects.

So whoever you are SIR...I'm thinking of YOU...and I'll be enhancing my skillset and living the luxury brown until you find me...and then we can continue living and loving life together! :-D

Continue to enjoy life!!  Peace and Blessings....

Life is what you make it.....

Hello World....

(click here for sounds)

One of my FB friends posted a picture that says:

"I surround myself with people that force me to do better."

And that is something I have ALWAYS done because at some point in my life, my self-motivation has waned something terribly.  So I make myself do better by being around go-getters.  You can't sit back and chill when your friends are constantly morphing into their true butterfly selves!

I'm meeting folks from everywhere...social media is a beautiful thing!  One thing I'm getting more into here in "hotlanta" is modeling.  Check me out here.  Yes the nerves are there...I wanna do more singing but the nerves...uuugh...they keep holding me back....and THEEEEEEN tonight at a casting call for The Lyngale Agency I sat down and had a good conversation with a fellow 40+ beauty that I'd talked to before ya know just chit chat nothing serious and THEN tonight she told me her story.  She was going along in life, husband/kids and out of the blue at the end of her work day, her eyesight started fading....she's actually going blind because of some rare fluke of a genetic foolishness.  Still vibrant, still radiant, still loving life!  Still a mom, still a wife with an awesomely supportive husband.  I'm not going to call her name because it's her story to tell and when she does it'll be a book to read, I know I'll buy it.  But you see this convo happened at a casting call, the first time we met was at a model runway class.  She hadn't stopped living and here I am nervous due to just plain ole being scared, the genetic issues I have didn't dibilitate me to the point of not being able to move around.  My food intake, natural herbs and moderate exercises have worked for me.  I'm still able to walk, talk and do what I want and I'm too scared to live my life like I should.

The song you heard earlier said "Life is what you make it..." and dammit it is!  I am ashamed...so ashamed as well I should be.  And at this point/going forward I shall do better about living and not just existing!  I have NO excuses!

In conclusion..... Life is what you make it....make it GOOD!!!!!

((Hugs)) Peace and Blessings!!
