SOMETHING TO CONSIDER

loveli7659Leave a comment

Why is it that when you want things done a certain way it doesn’t happen like that why is it that when somebody else wants things done a certain way we can go out of our way sometimes to do with someone else wants but don’t give the same energy to ourselves it’s not easy to even do things for others but we will make sure we get it done.

We don’t give ourselves the same time in the same energy that we do others and sometimes it makes us feel good when we go out of our way for other people but we need to begin to make ourselves feel good and go out of our way for ourselves I think that one of the things that help is helped me over the years begin to do things for myself more often than usual it should just stop and take in what’s going on around me

I’m learning that it seems to be easier to go out of our way for others than it is ourselves and in order for me personally to make time for me I decide that I’m going to turn my phone off play my music and justice enjoy peace and quiet if I don’t want to hear any music

I’m realizing that it’s easier said than done but it’s something that has to be consistent and it’s something that has to happen because if it doesn’t happen then I’m left to wonder why I’m going through so much confusion and why I feel overwhelmed and why I feel like I’m not getting anywhere so when it comes to these things and when I feel this way I have to shut the world out because I cannot continue to do for others and pour into others if I can’t pour into myself the same way I think you should give it a try it definitely makes the difference

Escaping Through Words: A Personal Reflection

loveli7659Leave a comment

I begin to find myself through the escaping pen

all I wanted was freedom and didn’t know where to start or where it would end

I decided to escape through the keyboard and digital paper to write a means to my end

and once I started typing, I didn’t know where my lines would end

so I just made sure to express myself the way I truly wanted because if you really knew me, then you wouldn’t want to hear about it

hear about my day to day or even the one that got away,

Now, I’m glad you decided to tune in and see what journey I choose to write about with my digital pen. I like it this way because it has the trail that will stay; even a physical copy is something that will fade away

I want to see how far it will go

I want to see where it will land

I want to see how much I can do

I wasn’t sure where I would land

I didn’t know where to start

I was always set apart from others and writing was my escape plan

Thanks to my sisters, I can start again

and so

and soo

and soooo

I begin again……

Embrace Discomfort: Steps to Personal Growth

loveli7659Leave a comment

Have you ever felt uncomfortable in a situation that you put yourself into? I know how that feels and its all too familiar for me, I always did what I wanted to do and then when I was uncomfortable I often tried to figure out how I got into the position I was in. I had to realize it was me all along but see the problem I use to have was

I blamed others, I didn’t accept that it was my fault

It was someone else fault that I ended up where I was at

It wasn’t my fault

I use to be bitter

I use to be a cry baby because one the situation was too bad Instead of fighting my way out, I would play the victim and where did that get me…. no where at all

I decided one day when I looked in the mirror it was all my fault and I have to decide how to become stronger and set boundaries

I had to see that if I say no then I can slowly gain control over the situation in a good way

I have to realize I am able to make sure I am going to be better, stronger, and wiser. I thank God that he has help me become a better version than what I use to be.

its never too late to take back your power

get uncomfortable in a good way

get uncomfortable to become a better you

get uncomfortable to supersize your situation in a good way

You got this and through Gods grace he will always make a way !!!!

You can break FREE from mental abuse, sadness, and depression, and become the best version ever no matter who or what tells you otherwise

you are LOVED

you are POWERFUL

you are AWESOME

you are WANTED

YOU ARE SEEN AND YOU CAN BE WHOEVER YOU WANT TO BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY

Open up that book and read, write a story, create a blog, and start that journey to a healthier you!!!!! But you gotta start somewhere!!!!!

Can you truly love me

loveli76592 Comments

can you truly love me when I’m down

Can you love me when I’m up and happy, being silly and just giddy all around you

can you love me when I’m a mess? My children have made me feel beautiful but I still don’t see it

can you love me and my curves the wrinkles that may form into a false smile but still hide the pain inside

can you love the way I love you when I see you down and even if I’m hurting lift you up?

can you love me the way God describes it in the bible as being patient and kind

can you love me when it seems everyone else has turned their back and I feel alone, I feel like the only true love I’ll ever get would be from someone who can benefit

can you truly love me and know that this is all I have to give is me, my life, my children, and my gifts…..

The only one who truly loves unconditionally is my heavenly father who also chose me…..

Can you LOVE ME….

The Challenge of Self-Care: Why We Struggle

loveli76592 Comments

riddle me this:

why is it so hard sometimes to set boundaries and maybe even take the time for yourself? Is it that we get so caught up in reality and during things of “the norm”? What does a typical day look like for you? Have you ever considered just relaxing for once?

These are some of the things I often ponder because I find it hard to understand myself. I sometimes feel like I am one of those people who would just keep going and going and going and then when I do take the time to relax I feel bad, I feel like I don’t deserve to sit down for a few moments and have time to myself because there’s always stuff that needs to be done.

Let’s start with something as simple as a to-do list, But do you even think that’s simple? it’s really not, it requires a lot of thinking a lot of using your mind to organize your thoughts, and then putting it on a piece of paper that in itself is not even easy.

Maybe what I can do is just start with something as simple as sitting down for a few minutes do you think that is easy? Sometimes I think it’s so hard to do something as simple as relaxation but, as we get older, we have to learn how to take that time and just shut out the world to get the peace of mind that we need for ourselves whether it’s going for a walk, going to the library or even just laying down relaxing.

here are a few simple steps that have worked for me even now:

  1. Pray
  2. Write a to-do list
  3. put my phone on Do not disturb
  4. Cook my favorite meal
  5. Go for a walk
  6. just sit down and breath
  7. watch a good tv show

In the comments below tell me some of the things that you feel would be a great addition to this list as well as whats some things that have worked for you in your everyday life thank you for taking the time to read today and I hope that we all can learn something peace out.

Please place her around people, places, and things to help assist her in every area of her life and help get the things she needs to get God please remove any negative feelings or emotions out of her mind and remove sadness and loneliness from her. Please release the disease that she fights daily that she doesn’t talk about such as mentally, physically, or emotionally.

ITS SETTLED

loveli7659Leave a comment

I am not letting another person make me think I am worthless, I am fearless, and I am free. God loves me more than anything and nobody can ever change that.; I thank God for loving me and showing me what it means to have real friends and family who aren’t blood-related.

it’s amazing how much God can show you how much he loves you by placing people in your life who truly loves you and doesn’t want nothing from you. I am grateful for my job, my friends, my children, my home and I know for sure I am not going to allow life to let me get into a depressed state ever again!!

I will not wait for someone to play with my feelings or even make me feel like I will never get anywhere, I am not who you say I am. I am who God called me to be. I am done being shy and will not make sure to speak my mind!

straight no chaser

loveli7659Leave a comment

when i get that liquid courage i feel unstoppable. everything i want to say and do i have no thought behind it. i let it make me feel couragious. it takes a lot to admit that im addicted to the power i feel behind the drink. if i want to express my feelings and not care how anyone feels i do it. if i have an impulsive thought i act on it. if i want to be shy and pretend not to be outspoken i can do that. but the liquid courage i have sometimes has a price, sometimes im not nice and i will act out and do whatever i want. if you are around me you have to deal with it. i will shoot it to you straight no chaser. if you made me mad im telling you just like that. if im happy you will know and if im having mix feelings well there is normally no in between you get what i choose to give you in that moment. often times it makes feel sick but i still deal with it because without it i feel like i have no power and my voice is no longer being heard. i go back to being shy and asking myself why playing the events in my mind that occured and trying to figure out where was the blur. it really does become one sometimes because i will black out and not know what i did but those moments before i can either be your enemy or your friend it all depends on how intoxicated i am. sad part is i want to stop but cant i am brave when i have that drink, i am on top of the world….until im not and i want to stop and think but i cant i already had too much to drink so now, im free but not in the way i was suppose to be…..
