If you look back and regret anyone or anything in your life you’ve done. .it’s a waste of time.

1. Instead of using regret try using your mental ability to think of the lessons learned.  If anyone bring up a bad part of my past, I smile and say. .”but nevertheless, It was an experience.” You carry around so much pain, hurt and confusion if you don’t learn how to accept temporarily failures and pain. Get up, dust yourself off and pray that you learn how to be a better person from it. However,  it took me quite a few years to learn this but I never forgot how to do one thing. .forgive others. The hardest part is forgiving yourself. I’ve treated others better than I have myself for so long, that it took me a while to accept the person I saw in the mirror as a person who deserved to be treated with the love she gave out!  Along the way, you’ll lose a few friends, maybe family members and the ones you thought was your Ying to your yang…it’s ok to let go. . ..but again we love and trust man/woman like they should be as forgiving and understanding as our father God! Only to be disappointed. .Do me a favor. Forgive!  Let Go!  Did they say they’ll always be there for you in that hard breaking moment, only a call away?  How could they deceive and abandon you? Oh,  I’m not feeling sorry for you, because just like you, I searched for these answers while I was stranded with my pain and confused heart. However, not much later. .it clicked in my head. Like a light bulb switching on. (Good bless my aunt who passed, she told me a while ago the light bulb wasn’t on yet..Auntie, it came on late. .but thank God it did) “Let him go Bebe, let her go Bebe. .it’s ok. ” Yes, I have shed many tears on people and disappointments. .but I now know that the seasons God has for us with each and every person we cone in contact with comes with a reason!  It’s OUR desire to try to keep them there. We would give our whole heart, body,possessions and souls to the ones we feel are worthy of us. Yet, we only receive temporary promises, or their words of I miss and love you, or their physical touch is not equal to the sacrifice you have given. ..so,  what am I saying? LIVE! LOVE!!FORGIVE! !! GIVE more of you to those who need you!  It’s a host of organizations, children that need love ..go love on those in elderly care!! Don’t waddle in yesterday pain,  today’s disappointments or the worry of tomorrow! Life has an expiration date on it that noone knows the shelf life. ..look in the mirror and tell yourself. .”I love you, I forgive you for wasting time wallowing in temporary passion and sorrow!”  Say in a louder voice. .” God if grant me one more day, I’ll live to be a service, and I give you those people that I am struggling to forgive,  I TRUST YOU,I LOVE YOU and I THANK YOU GOD for showing me what is important in this life! Now smile, and look at how much relief you feel. I’m not changing my smile, laugh,  or my giving heart for anyone!  While some saw me as weak or naive, someone else saw me as strong and trusting!  I have to thank God for sending a friend to remind me from time to time that it’s okay to be me,  im good at being that!  Be you, and don’t allow obstacles or anyone change what comes naturally in your heart. ..
2. Until next time. .Do some mirror talk 😉

When I finally took it upon myself to take people as they are and realize they should do the same for me, it instantly became a struggle. And yes,  I backslide a little and texted or called my explanation. Don’t do that!  People KNOW when they are taking you for granted,  whether or not they apologize for it is on them. But do not be afraid to ask for respect, kindness and the energy or love you give out! No relationship should be bought, or one sided. Again, don’t wait for an apology, just keep living. Eventually in life karma will show them a picture of what you deserved and just how they are on the short stick of receiving just what you needed.. God knows I have loved and still love who I thought was my heaven sent(SC) and. .but in life we sometimes must let go and allow destiny to run its courses…but stand by your character and you’ll never regret it. ..

Now be blessed until next time. .

I have been doing a few freelance jobs on the side awaiting the outcome of my book when I received a request for poetry. Those that know me know this is how my love for writing started out and I am excited another opportunity has presented itself. In my way of thinking, I know that poetry can spark a memory or two. It can also give you a way to release the feelings inside and do things that words always have proven to do. Remove you. When ever the need to get away, take a walk with a pen in your hand, walk barefoot in the sand..with your shades on,  blocking all distractions from your sight. It’s always something to write. .

Everyday won’t be a day that you wake up and have a smile on your face. As with me, everyone that see me, may see a smile and a joyful tone. Am I just the opposite? Sometimes. But that’s temporarily. When I get up some days are reminders of yesterday, or I may remember a loved one that is no longer with me and I instantly become sadden. Frankly, it won’t last long with me because I’ve learned that with life, everything and everyone is temporary. NO!! DON’T feel bad, look at it just the opposite, that we only have small moments and pleasures in this life to enjoy one another! Instantly I smile. I thank GOD that I have one more day to right my wrongs, to forgive someone, or ask them for forgiveness. See, Frankly everything don’t have to be in black and white. We have to paint our skies blue, acknowledge that we have love surrounding us, we just have to not look for the negative…

Until next time smile and change someones world.

Word of advice… When things start looking better, take a moment and acknowledge how far you have come. Personally,

I’ve traveled from a race of having me always come in last, to deciding whether or not this is the life “I” had been passing by. This is not only material things, of course not. When I look and see the amount of blessings that have been bestowed upon me, I literally want to thank the ones that placed so much pressure on me that I thought I was going to break! Without the pain, I wouldn’t be able to appreciate love. No not love from someone else, but the love that I have for myself for never-changing characters in giving up hope that they would love me better. The fast lane in your life can be a host of things that are all dreams, desires or goals that are finally coming true. Remember that these things happening aren’t for you to boast to the ones that left you by the waste side to, but to appreciate the lesson learned alone the way. Safe travels to you all on this wonderful fast lane…
