....Having a winning spirit.... If you want it go after it, the only thing holding you back is you!!! If you own it and claim it then it is yours and yours alone.... Every winner has experienced failure before so if you fail once just know that when you win you will win big if you worked hard to experience that moment to the fullest.... If you constantly think you are not good enough, or take losing as a sign that you may never win you then you will continue to fail because that is you mindset.... Steve Harvey said it best "In order to change your outcome you must change your outlook..." Your mindset has alot to do with whether or not you will have all that you desire in life and if you will work hard enough to actually achieve those goals that you set for yourself... Some of the most successful people have the most confidence because they see in themselves what others do not and they have that winning spirit to want and to go for it ALL.... So...."All I do is win win w

(picture from Flickr) What is it? What does it feel like? How do you know when you're in it? Does it go away? Would you do anything to get it or for it? Can you love more then one person at a time? Whats the difference between "being IN love" and "having love" for someone? I have never been in love to m knowledge... I played the fool And I was in STRONG infatuation But deep down inside I don't feel I have truly experienced love, the feeling of not wanting to be without someone... Perhaps one day....

(picture from Flickr) "...your hiding behind the words you speak" -Danity Kane Sometimes no matter how much you express yourself to someone they are never truly 100% honest with They hide behind their words, they change up everything... Ever date someone who one day loves you and the next day doesn't? They are probably hiding from their own emotions an perhaps are afraid of letting go after being comfortable for so long even if they are unhappy.. Poetry sometimes tells a story in an indirect manner and just like real life one must read between the lines to get the full meaning behind what is being said.... There is many forms of communication and non-verbal communication is very important to pay attention to because it can say everything that someone is unable to verbalize themselves... Body language can even show a person's level of comfort around you so page attention to these signs for they are a story that the mouth is unable to tell.... Just like poetry it is an

Me and my ladies on my 25th birthday :)

In the past couple of days I have had several men from my past come back and apologize to me for hurting me in the past and I have got to say it is definitely a weird feeling by far.... One of them is actually experiencing the feelings I felt for him from another girl..its weird when someone is finally feeling what you went through... I know how bad it hurt and I would never wish that pain on anyone not even my enemy (well I don't have any of those but still lol) Its truly funny how "Karma" works sometimes but its nothing you can do about that. Its life... Sometimes people have an epiphany realizing that once upon a time they had a good person... But I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason so if you all broke up then for me that means that God has other plans for you.. Everything is a learning tool in my eyes... Everyday is another day to learn so take advantage of it.... If they apologize accept it, especially if its from the heart it provides some reli

Here is my 2010 Freshmen Squad....

Im getting that itch lol No not the marriage itch but the itch to find someone to date and settle down To put away my clubs shoes and replace them with sweats to cuddle up with my boo in.... I just turned 25 and I am slowly but surely making things happen for me so I think its about that time to find someone to share that with.... We shall see what happens....right now single is still the status....

When something is bothering you especially when it is with a person whom you care for it is best to just come out and tell them instead of holding it in. No matter how much you think that it may hurt the truth about how you feel will make you feel better.... On top of that you never know how someone make take the truth once it is out and in the open.... Sometimes you hear things about yourself that a close friend has said about you and it may hurt BUT you must look at where the other friend is coming from and see the pain they may have initially felt when they thought you had hurt them... But if you all are truly friends communication and an apology can cure the friendship and it will be something that you all can move past... Good friends do not allow small spats to come between them... Strong friendships create bonds and continue to grow stronger especially through the hard times...

I have been away from blogging for a little bit for various reasons.... 1. I have been preparing my freshmen cheer team for their regional competition this Friday and 2. I have been preparing myself for taking the Praxis this Saturday that will certify me as a middle school science teacher.... Both of these have been taking up alot of my time because they take a ton of preparation to excel at.... So just be patient with me I will be posting more often after this weekend. Thanks for always being a loyal reader....

Sometimes I try way to much to make others happy forgetting about myself along the way.... I am slowly but surely learning how to just make me happy and be ok with that....One must understand that you can not be perfect. You will never be able to please everyone... Some personalities just tend to crash with each other no matter how you try and make them mesh they just wont... My suggestion: Don't try to be close friends and force it if it just wont work. Just be cordial, be nice, be respectful but you don't have to tell secrets to each other just understand each other.... I love all the people whom I am close to now and who I use to be close to because they have an important part in my life, they have been written in a chapter of my life and I have learned from the experiences with them as well as enjoy them because at one point they truly made you happy.... I have learned that I can no longer continue to go out of my way to try and make everyone happy until that happiness resi

Love is blind.... What you think is your type may not actually be your type When you fall in love, it is possible to fall for someone who is totally outside of what you think you like or what you think is your type.... Someone who I would not have thought has got me feeling butterflies like a school girl... We shall see what happens... Going with the flow...My life is pretty different so I take the punches that life serves me as I go... I will keep my readers updated :)

What are you afraid of? What are the things deep down inside of you that keeps you from the things you truly want to do in life? Why do we all our fears to take over our lives? Control our lives? Fear does not have to be our downfalls...the only thing keeping us from what life has to offer is our selves. A wise man once said, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself...." Somethings you just have to learn overcome. For instance when you are feeling someone but are afraid to say something to them because they may 'reject' you. The worse they can say is no. And so what if they say no, do you die after the 'no' was spoken? NO, ok then take it with stride and be "on to the next" What is a fear? And why do we "fear" it to begin with? "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillian

Relax, relate, release is something I believe people a lot of people need to use in stressful situations.... Relax: Take a second to look at what is going on, calm your self down and realize that somethings are just out of your control.... Relate: Look at the situation and what it all means, relate it to a real world solution to the problem at hand.... Release: Once you have found a solution, release it into the atmosphere and let life take its course....again there are things that are just out of your control so you have to be prepared to just let things go... Stress happens, bad things happen, but what you don't want to do is to let it get to you and let it tear you down. That is how depression happens, that is how Bi-Polar can occur, because allow the world's burdens tear them down. I try to help my friends and I with this issue, because we can get bogged down by the weight of the world....but what we have to do is look at the things we CAN fix and TRY to fix them, we hav

Why are there so many rules to dating? Who created these rules? If you are feeling someone, get their phone number, why do you have to wait so many days before you call them? If you are interested in someone, why do you have to disguise what you feel? Sugar coat it? Hide it? Does that not push people away? Does hiding your emotions help your love life? I think NOT I do not like to play by the dating rules. I am a fan of just being honest and upfront and I try to do that all the time.... I feel like saying how I feel about something can be a blessing and a curse at the same time because I know some people are unable to handle the truth in certain subjects and one of those would be LOVE... I feel like dating should not be a game, it should something in which you do with your mind, heart and soul once you have found that one who makes you feel special. Sometimes you don't always find the "ONE" on the first try so you have to try again... All I know is when you love, love wit

Work, work, work.... People complain about work all the time, about how Monday is the day that everyone dreads.... But working makes the world go 'round....working makes money to pay the bills, working, allows you to vacation, working provides the things you want in life.... The trick is to do what you love to do when you work... Working does NOT have to be a chore, it can be ENJOYABLE.... Sometimes we have to sacrifice working at an un-enjoyable place until we reach that enjoyable place, where we enjoy going to work everyday... As cliche as it sounds life is truly what you make it so do what you have to do to make it work even in the work place....besides school, work is somewhere you go almost everyday of his life... Make life as enjoyable as it can be... Live, Love, Love Smile :)

I just came off of a weekend of celebration for my 25th birthday and I have to tell you that it was a great one. One of the best birthdays that I have had in a long time.... Want to know who made it great? Yep, you guessed it: My Friends....fam made no effort but I am not surprised I love them still :) However moms got me a new camera that was a definite plus :) My actual birthday fell on a Tuesday and I had the pleasure of sharing it with my freshman cheer squad and these girls went all out trying to make sure that I had a great day. They bought me Mountain Dew and Reese's which are my favorite :) got me a strawberry birthday cake, decorated the dorm room I saw staying in (We were at cheer camp lol), song me happy birthday at breakfast and on top of all that they placed 1st in the Freshman Division as Camp Champs so I was like a proud mom :) I get home, come to work and guess what? My co workers had made me a strawberry birthday cake as well...Can you tell strawberry is my fave? l

Friendships are very important to me.... My friends have been more of a family to me then my own family has been at some points in my life...the friendships that I have, I have had for years and been there through the good, bad and the ugly.... Those are the friendships that you know will last. Those that remain the same and stand the test of times..... There are associates and then there are friends.....Associates and acquaintances, people you see out, people you speak to but a friend is someone who tell everything too.... Friends are the shoulder to lean on, the person to cry to, the hand to hold, the arms to hug you, the heart to love you.... My friends have been some the most important people. They have kept me sane, gave me a place to lay my head, listened to me cry, gone through retail therapy with me, and whatever else you can think of my friends have been there.... "Friends, how many of us have them, Friends, ones we can depend on Friends..." I have friends and they
