Welcome to 2014!

Happy New Years!

I have been busy this past year with everything going on. School and work has gotten the best of me.

It's the New Years and its the time everyone makes these new resolutions and typically is forgotten when June come around.

I believe that resolutions are good in a sense, but resolutions should be looked as goals. Year round not just one or two months. Goals is what helps us go from one direction to another.  What are goals? Short term and long term?

Finally Living within means

Money doesn't grown off of trees.The old saying that every kid hates to hear. A very true statement that most adults don't want to hear as well, although we are aware it. In the past few years with the jobless rate increasing our lives have changed.Those with jobs are trying to maintain with that job and with that may come stress. Being overworked and underpaid.Doing two positions with the same pay, which makes one upset and want to quit.Then when the company finally gets rid of the person then they are so relieved.Filing unemployment and taking a break.Taking time to get one's self together mentally and physically.

Of course, there is a concern and a disbelief that there is no job. Not enough to pay the current bills at hand. Time to downsize. Some people are aloof and gasp at the mere thought of doing less. We have been condition through society that more is better, when in fact most of what we have are luxuries.Luxuries not necessities. Cable, Internet at home, video games, brand name clothes/purses, and yes even our car's. Time to get that used 4 cylinder and sell that SUV.Then we get down to the basics- Shelter, food, water, clothes(reasonable).

To some people of different backgrounds such as people on a fixed income & low income, this is nothing new  to them because they HAVE to budget.Then when days are better and jobs are back, maybe we should keep the same frame of mind when it comes to budgeting. Live well, be conscious.

Life in General as I see it: Take it and put it to the left

Life in General as I see it: Take it and put it to the left: "I was just listening to one of my favorite women .The one and only, Beyonce. I loved the phrase ,'To the Left, to the Left'.I could relate t..."

Take it and put it to the left

I was just listening to one of my favorite women .The one and only, Beyonce. I loved the phrase ,"To the Left, to the Left".I could relate to that as my Grandma ,who is also from Texas ,would say something like that. Crazy old sayings. She is a true Texan woman who don't take no crap from anyone.One respectable woman.Genes that passed on to me :). So I knew in a sense where "B" was coming from.

I feel like we as people have been put on this earth for one purpose.It's up to us to finds out what that purpose is.I also feel like we should live up to our full potential. Some people have the courage to act on it, while others don't.

I feel if you believe in something, you should stand by it 100%. This also means back up what you say.So, as an example if I say that I'm  going to run at the annual company marathon and told everyone at work I was going to do this marathon. The people at work are going to look for me to do just that.Run at the company's marathon.If I don't run I get the diarrhea face or "funny" looks at work, because now I'm considered a flake or A.K.A( a total liar).Umm...Not a good trait to have.To simply put it,"Walk it like you talk it".

To know yourself  and connecting to that level is the ultimate goal for some people.You know who you are.What your willing to put in your life and what/who goes out. Recognizing that its important to progress in life, not regress.To Regress simply means that your not mature enough to handle mature problems.Still using the same frame of mind.Adolescent or elementary(All the same :). Sometimes its hard to deal with someone who has regressed, because you can never go forward.In a Friendship or relationship.That is how we grow. Sometimes in the process of growing, you have to the peaches fall from the tree.Releasing dead weight.A tree should be viable and full of life.We sometimes have to let people who hinder our growth go.Especially negative people.Pointing them to the left.

Fatal attraction ...literally

One would question why would a person have fatal attraction.Perhaps he or she is mentally ill.Just maybe the  thought was under the surface and awaiting to erupt like a volcano. Here's a thought, maybe that person played around with the other person emotions...hmm. Playing with another person emotions is clearly wrong and can be quite dangerous.This is often swept under the rug and is purposely ignored.

Fatal attraction that is brought on by having an affair outside of marriage is just asking for trouble.Not to justify the other person actions who is mentally ill, but both parties.Both parties are involved and are not forced into anything.One can choose to stop the action brought on and walk away. In other countries, a woman can be stoned, shot, or even hung by having a such thing. Point blank, its morally wrong. People will still try to justify as to why they had an affair. It may go something like this," I couldn't help but to fall in love with him/her.You can't control who you fall in love with" or"Don't judge me".Really now? Haven't we heard that heap of bull crap before. Having an affair is going out like a coward.Just tell your partner its over and move on. Have some kind of dignity.I know its easier said then done, but it takes courage to stand up and go out with your head up.This is also a bad move to creep around when you have kids.We all teach our children about honesty , even if it hurts.We try to protect them as best as we know how.Having an affair with someone you barely know is putting your kids at danger and more importantly yourself.When trying to break that affair up, it can be too late as you already toyed with someones emotions. One small bad decision can lead to totally devastation. To you or your family. Seriously speaking people, next time you play with someone emotions please think about the possibility that this person maybe one second away from snapping.You just pray that it wont be you they go off on.  I had to put this article out here because some people may never know how dangerous a simple affair can be and may brush it off.


R.I.P. Richie .May God be with you and your family.

Audience, What value do you think is more important if you had to pick one?

Ok, I know I haven't posted close a month  now. Just been busy.You know how life is :). Just a random thought.What do you consider as a most important value? It could be anything. As for me, I consider honesty as the most important value you can have as  a person, but one person has disagreed with me on this. So.. let hear it from you all

A saying that is common , but not taken to heart

You know majority of people say things to help other people. It almost seems that what is said has no type of value on it.People are told to value life and live like there is no tomorrow.We hear it and nod our heads, but don't do it. That's until something that is very drastic happens. Then we know the meaning of those forgotten words.

You may not realize that one day you maybe doing your same routine and the next day you wake up in a hospital bed from a car crash. You never really think that this may happen to you as you go around thinking your untouchable.So take time, think about what you really want out of this life, and execute the plan.When you say I love you to whom ever, really mean it. If you love someone, say it.You may never know if you will  see them again.If your done with a relationship that isn't blossoming , let it go.Move on to someone who wants to grow with you.You may never know what end of the stick you may be on. Much peace, love, and blessings to you.
