and I didn't even know it!!!  HA! (that's the BEST way to work out BTW!  :)  hee hee) I read something tonight...  I have come across it before and I just absolutely LOVE the quote. "Pain is weakness leaving the body" Then someone (who shall remain nameless... Raphael - LOL) made the mistake of asking me my thoughts on this little string of words...  OOOOPS!  (ha ha)  you guys KNOW I

It's prep time for the journey ahead...... So after my last blog, I kinda tucked my tail and walked away from the blog world. I received many emails and messages asking me to keep writing.... I love writing... and I love you guys!!  So I wanted to still be here...   But it was like after I blew off steam and signed off that last blog, I closed the door. And then... even when I WANTED to come

Good - at least you know you stood for something... Ya know... I started this blog years ago. I started it as a sort of way to vent... a way to deal with life and all the ups and downs.... all the unanswered questions.... all the cross-roads we encounter. And as I walked along the journey of my blog - I got emails and comments from people that said Thanks for what you are not afraid to say...

It's like I'm famous or something......... Ohhhhhhh - the things I would love to share with you!!! I've learned many MANY things over the past few weeks... But the greatest news is this.... I've made it to the BIG time... I'm famous.. it's ASTOUNDING Apparently the world has gone to POT and has nothing better to do than discuss little ol' me!  ha ha My past, my present, and apparently

I found this online, I think someone posted it on facebook.   But as I read it, I thought back about relationships I have been in and I SWEAR I thought to myself at least 40 times that if I could go back in time, I would smack me in the face!!!!!!! So anyway - I thought I would share... single, married, dating, it doesn't matter - it's good advice for us ALL!  And although it's mostly written

What big phenomenon happened at the stroke of midnight that was sooooo life changing? Nothing. My friends were all out celebrating with their significant others My brothers with their wives.

Yes - I know it's Tuesday But most of us have been off work and actually had a long weekend.  Tuesday is our Monday this week.  First day back to the grind and even though it's a short week, for some reason, they always seem harder to me! So - here's a little inspiration for the week! My Christmas gift to you  :) I hope everyone had a wonderfully happy and joy filled holiday Christmas

I just wanted to take a quick minute to wish every one a VERY Merry Christmas and remind you all.... Please remember the reason for the season. This time of year we tend to get so caught up in the hustle and bustle and keeping up with who got what - that we lose focus of the true meaning and blessings of the Christmas season. Today - tonight - tomorrow - some time over this holiday, do

(or Tuesday, I'm a little late!) So I took a little time away from my blog.  Not because I don't love you all and not because I don't need this blog.  But because I needed a mini vacay from my brain and all my thoughts and analyzing! And now I'm back.... so fresh and so clean clean  :) Lots of people have checked in on me over the past several months.  (some have been checking for longer

Watched a movie ... put some things into a new perspective. Not really new for me, just a reaffirmation of sorts! Remember as little girls (boys.... you know the story too) we all dreamed of the "Cinderella" story... our prince riding in on a white horse and sweeping us off our feet and riding off into the sunset happily ever after. Yeah - ok - we believed that maybe yesterday when we were

People ask me all the time, "why do you blog" "WHY do you do it?"  "Why do you put so much of yourself out there?" I think I finally found the answer to that question tonight. I always say that this is where I heal. This is where I vent. This is where I come to spill myself. And I do it to heal me - but to help others also. Someone somewhere could be going through what I'm going through right

Everybody struggles and has pain. EVERYBODY!! God recycles and redeems the pain the very moment we use our experience to help someone else through their pain.  I read this from a pastor's facebook page that I follow and it was like a million light bulbs went off all around me!!  :) Divorce.   What a painful word.   What a painful experience.   And it happens every day all around us.

What is forgiveness? To give up resentment of or claim to requital for; to cease to feel resentment against (an offender) This seems to be one of the hardest concepts for our feeble human minds to comprehend.  Why?  Because everyone wants justification, vengeance, honor.... Revenge. When someone wrongs us or hurts us in some way, our selfish pride feels some sort of obligation to hurt

A Woman’s Prayer Dear Heavenly Father, I confess that I have not always been as careful as I should’ve been with my heart. From time to time, my desire for love has caused me to leave my heart in the wrong hands. I now commit my heart into your hands for safe-keeping. Please help me to stop being so impulsive with what you deem so precious. As I learn to celebrate Your love for

I was posed a question tonight... that I can't release from my mind? ~Do you think someone can just fall OUT of love?~ I can't seem to erase that question from my head OR come up with a really good answer... So - for what it's worth - here are my thoughts... WHAT DO YOU THINK??? Just for a moment, let's contemplate the love between a woman and a man. First of all.... I don't think it

In honor of the week of Thanksgiving - I'm thankfully switching gears. Putting on my new perspective you might say! It was pointed out to me today that we should not only spend time being thankful for the things that we have been given and that God has blessed us with; but we should also take time to be thankful for the things that have been taken away... the things that God has saved us

Today I'm sharing something I posted.....   well - long ago. Thoughts, feelings, and emotions that I today - hold firmly to  :) I hope you enjoy - but more than anything.... I hope you are inspired. To give. To LOVE. To pray. To trust in God - no matter WHAT the circumstances!!!! Unconditional love is a term used to describe a love shared with someone regardless of the other's actions

Even out of ruins, God always shows me light  :) the silver lining if you will........ My last post was very hard.  That day was VERY hard. BUT such is life. We all have good days and bad days and days that are just a little harder to get through than others. I am not special in that. I guess the difference is, I don't hold in my emotions.  I don't hold in my feelings. I may speak them, I may

The beauty and the curse in this word is - God gave us all free will. Do I believe God has a plan and purpose for your life?  YES!  Do I believe that God has great and mighty things to show you and give you and teach you throughout life?  Absolutely!  I do. Do I believe that you may suffer hardships and pain along the way... sure.  That's how we GROW!  It's also how we LEARN! Some of

As a child, I was raised in church.  I was given a foundation to stand on.  I am thankful for that. There were times through out my life when I strayed from what I was taught.  Times that I spread my wings and tried to walk on my own.  And that I did.  But the wonderful thing is... that foundation I was raised with, always brought me back around. I grew up.  I made mistakes.  I rebelled.  I did

I have sat for some time now, and watched my world come crashing down around me.  I saw it fall, brick by brick, day after day.  And I fought so hard to keep picking them up and putting them back, and throw some paste on hoping eventually they would stick.  All the while with a big smile on my face thinking... it's gonna get better.  But alas, I watched and felt my heart absolutely break into

God has given you one face and you make yourself another - Shakespeare Behind my smile is a broken heart, behind my laugh, I'm falling apart Look closely at me, and you will see the girl I am, is the girl I am not.

You know how I'll know when I'm healing? .... when the hurt becomes a memory. There are days when I am walking along, not thinking about anything and out of nowhere it hits me. That gut wrenching, heart stopping pain shot straight through my soul. And there is no stopping it. The tears just flow. There are days I talk & talk till I'm blue in the face and I'm mad and confused and just plain

My momma tells me I'm too open - she says I share too much.  Now granted - there are some things that I WON'T share.  Some things that hurt TOO bad.  Some things that would completely blow you away.... and those things...  Well - they aren't for blogs.  They may be used in person when a friend is in need.... but they aren't for blogs.

If you're going to be offended by my true honest open RAW feelings - then I suggest you close this blog right now and walk away.  Because today is NOT a good day.  It's not hopeful and warm and fuzzy and reminiscent.  It is instead......

There were times when the ride was smooth. There were times when I closed my eyes and climbed a few small hills. And sometimes I held my breath and threw my hands up and climbed monstrous mountains There were times when it was fun and there was nowhere else I'd rather be. But there were times I was plummeting to the ground and there was nothing I could do to stop it. There were times when I

Coming from a relationship with my mother that was not so perfect at the time, I planned to do everything "BETTER"!!  I had NO idea what I was in for.  After his birth, finding a joy and love in a child I never knew I could feel, I have also found a hurt that

She was 17 and the good girl always played But something finally broke in her; and all faith in life was lost She turned away from friends and family and those who loved her most The hurt and pain found a door to hell through drugs and alcohol With a man to hold her late at night she would pretend it wasn’t real But the pain and the shame were never far away and soon enough any hope was lost.

Yesterday - I gave you the low down on my trip Today - I am going to share with you - WHAT I have learned over the past week... about me... about my husband... about marriage..about life... about ... did I mention....MARRIAGE.... and most importantly - about ME! {I guess because sharing my flaws and mis-haps somehow makes it worth it?} So... for those of you who have or haven't noticed...

This post will be a 2-parter.... beginning today {part 1} with my FUN spontaneous road trip to FL!!! I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason.  If you recall, Preacher T and I never took a honeymoon because right after our wedding, I started school.  PLUS I

So I've only been married for four months right. My first and ONLY marriage (yeah at 34....) It's ME, Preacher T, my son Z (15) and T's two girls (8 & 11) Before the wedding.... I had this idea of what life would be like once we were married. Yeah....

I have written about change before.. but I'm really pondering this subject the closer we get to beginning a new year. We WANT growth and change.....but at the same time, there are some things that we want to NEVER change. And it seems it's always THOSE things that change. I don't have much more to say about this today............ just that I've talked to several people lately (myself included)

We constantly poison ourselves and just about every relationship we are in. Friends. Boy/girl friends. Family... and ironically - our relationship with ourselves. We constantly find negativity and neglect and poison, your flavor of choice, and we just dump it all around us.  Those that we love are always the ones that get hurt the most.  Oh - we always have the BEST of intentions and there is

Well....... I did it. I have made it through the first half of ultrasound school HOLY COW. I was so excited to get in......then once in and classes started, I was pretty sure I would never make it out alive.  But now - here I am - HALF WAY through I just can't believe it!!!

Someone approached me recently and said "ahhhh.... I love your look tonight.  You're like Rocker Tami"  I'm not gonna lie, it kinda threw me off guard.  I'm sure the look on my face was priceless.  As I stared back at this person, she continued on by saying, "you never know what to expect with you... sometimes your like the quiet innocent girl next door, and sometimes your smokin hot, and tonight

It's Pour Your Heart out Day Today - I finally had some time to read some blogs.....not JUST spill my guts and emotions all over the screen.  But when I read this post (over at Things I Can't Say) I have to say... I have been having these feelings too and I'm using THIS post and Shell's courage to therapeutically put this out there too - because something's gotta give.  And THIS is why I started

When I was a child, I wanted to grow up to be a veterinarian. That's what I wanted. I LOOOOVED animals... loved them.  And that's what I thought I could do best with my big ol' heart. But then I found out that sometimes you have to put animals to sleep.  Sometimes they get sick and they die.  And I couldn't deal with that. So I changed my mind. I didn't have the heart for that. Then I wanted to

I haven't shared alot lately. Life has been kinda crazy. Up and down Alot of things have changed in my life and every day seems to reveal a new hurdle in some way. Don't get me wrong - I'm not in any way saying life is bad. Life is great... it just depends on who's eyes your using to look at it. We all fall victim to putting on those glasses that only reveal what's WRONG with our lives. While

My mom fusses at me all the time because I share too much. She tells me I put too much of myself out there and share TOO much personal information. My mother is private.  She holds everything in. That's just her. I on the other hand - have only this to give. Myself. Life lessons. Things I struggle with, run from, hide from, deal with and sometimes....even LEARN from. It's all I've got.

So.... about ONE YEAR ago.... I started this thing called "blogging".  I had NO idea what I was getting into - but I love to write and vent and someone shared this site with me.  I slowly started reading and following and then ultimately GAINING followers.  How COOL! Before I knew it - I was addicted. Here's the irony. When I started blogging - I was in a weird place in life.  Kinda drifting

So T made a comment to me the other day... innocently... jokingly... but it has brought on a whirlwind of emotion and more specifically .... a BIT of a freak out!!!! {{is this what they refer to as cold feet??} Now don't get me wrong - I'm totally in love and I'm not second guessing at all what we are doing and where we are going...

Is it Monday?!!?? So far today - I feel as though I've struck out. Beating my OWN head against the wall. Some days are more frugal than others and today is not one of them. Some days I feel like God is holding my hand and taking me down a path and some days I feel like I just smashed a wall. Some days I feel like people get me and some days I feel like EVERYONE thinks I have lost my mind.

Have you ever met or do you know someone (or is it YOU) who is constantly bitter and angry and lashing out at life.  They feel like they are being punished for something or that God just doesn't care about them - or has passed them by?  Or maybe its not even all the time.... maybe its just occasionally... maybe its just a rut now and then... but then I guess - don't we all have days like that?

When I first met ChristIt seemed as though life was rather like a bike ride, But it was a tandem bike, And I noticed that Christ Was in the back helping me pedal. I don't know just when it was that He suggested we change places, But life has not been the same since. When I had control, I knew the way,It was rather boring, but predictable...It was the shortest distance between two points. But

I had a dream last night that I got to hold you one more time I could feel the warmth of your body nestled against mine I could smell that smell that can only be described as “you” There was no time, no clock, and no end There were no words, no laughing or crying Just us…. Just me and you. As I lay there smiling, freed from life and escaped from reality My entire world seemed to be right again

I recently found a new friend! I got a visit from Chantelle at The Fabulous Life on yesterday's post of pouring my heart out. Gosh Chantelle - I'm sorry that my first post you visited seemed to be so down. That really was not my intent. I did spend some time pouring out MY heart and when all was said and done, I realized how SAD it sounded  (if you missed it - find it HERE - Who I Am?) I DO have

You know those girls that you come across... the ones that have these HIGH hopes and dreams of a lifetime filled with HAPPINESS.....of finding a man to sweep them off their feet.  A man who will work hard and pay the bills and do the yard work while their sweet little wife is cooking dinner.  The man who tells you every day (or at least every other!  ha) how lucky he is and treats you like you

 As girls, we search and hope and dream our entire lives to find that one true love.  Do YOU believe in TRUE LOVE?  How do you define love?for me....it makes me strive to be a better me, yet accepts me as I amit gives me hope and fills me with joyit gives me peace in growing oldbecause with my counterpart, I finally feel complete... Its a feeling of vulnerability that you would never trust with

Exactly 15 years ago and right exactly at this moment - I was giving birth for the first and likely ONLY time of my life!  And it was Mother's Day.  WHAT a present....... I was 19 years old and totally clueless about how my world was about to be changed.  I had spent the last nine months carrying this baby around... making some small changes in my life obviously, but NOOO idea all the changes

Progression:  The act of progressing forward;  onward movement.  (which way IS forward?  who decides that?  what if your forward goes around a curve... then are you going the wrong way?) Regression:  The act of going back to a previous place or state; return or reversion.  (why is this considered a bad thing?  what if the previous place was a GOOD place?) Insanity:  A derangement of the mind.

People come into our lives... and people run out.... You never know how long someone will stay, so treasure every moment you get to spend with your special friends, with your family, with ALL the ones that mean so much.  You never know when time will move on and their presence in your life will be done. You just have no control over the big picture. But remember this......everyone you surround

Finding my perspective in life sometimes poses a big challenge for me. I don't know what has been up with me lately, but I seem to have fallen into some sort of pit that I could NOT climb out of.  And the worst part is once I was there and comfy... I proceeded to pull in any negative attitude I could find and roll around with all my past mistakes and current issues in my life.  Me and my bad

I visited a new blog today, http://momyawp.blogspot.com/ , and on her blog, she has a list of things she wants to do before she is 26. I thought - what a GREAT idea. I just turned 34.... 35 will likely be a tough milestone for me.......I mean wow.... it's so weird to think back and remember as a child when you couldn't WAIT to be 16, and you couldn't WAIT to be 18, and then 21...  and then what?!

Time marches on.... things change... people grow and change... people that have meant the world to you - change and move on and your left standing in the dust wondering where they went and what happened. It's just life. Sometimes I find myself sitting around wondering WHY?! why do things have to change? why do people that mean so much and have affected you in so many ways, disappear? Why?! I know

Some days I’m weak But, some days I’m strong…. Some days I know all the right things to say But some days I struggle to know what to feel Some days I feel like all the world is right and everything is as it should be But most days I’m impatient and nothing moves in the time that I think it should Some days there is no one, with a single right word… But some days all you have to do is speak
