Learning To Live with The Dream

I dream about you every night
Every day I feel your loving-touch and I see your caring eyes
It feels very real, we laugh, we dance and we play
Trapped in eternity, we will be together forever
Imagine my disappointment when I open my eyes and you're not there
Suddenly the happiness turns into nostalgia
I begin to enquire within myself, why did you leave?
Why did you give up on life? You surely had a reason to live
As I nodd yes to my own questions I feel terrified at the thought that I was not
reason enough for you to live, and before i know it...tears are streaming down my face
I have a lot that I want to share with you, my hopes and my dreams, but you're not here
Does this mean that I can only share my life with you through my dreams?
I miss you mommy dearest, Your style and grace seemed timeless..
Don't wori about me though because I dedicate everyday of my life to you
I am alright because of the principles you have instilled in me
As I go through my days i smile just for you
And somehow I know that you are always by my side

Let's Celebrate Our Authenticity

The world consists of different kinds of people from different backgrounds and upbringings, it's no surprise that we all think differently from one another. It seems as though some people don't get this concept, this group of people disregards thoughts and ideas of those who are not like them. Even worse, they do everything in their power to make others feel bad about being themselves. I think the one thing that we must never loose in this world, is the essence of being ourselves. We are all special and there are things about us that make us unique, things that no one else has or can take away, our authenticity. One of my mentors once told me to stay away from energy-drainers, he said that I should learn to surround myself with people who inspire me and make me be a better person. And in all truth, the world is filled with energy-drainers..so how do we deal with such people?The way I see it, we just need to make up our minds to be happy regardless of such people, regardless of any external factors. I believe that it is my sole responsibility to make myself happy, and once i'm happy i will inspire others to be happy. The moment we stop comparing ourselves to others will be the moment that we find true and everlasting joy. Imagine the possibilities and accomplishments we can have once we start celebrating who we are. A life free of worry of being rejected and unaccepted,because let's face it...who in the world will accept you if you don't accept yourself!!!!

The Art of Letting Go!!!!

August came with a lot of mixed emotions..I knew I was gonna have to be strong but I didn't know how or where to start.At some point I felt like a part of me was stolen, gone,never to come back again. I went into survival mode, trying to adjust,thinking of a way out...my mind felt so cluttered and all I needed was a fresh breeze I just couldn't seem to find or get. Often at times, we think that objects define who we are and I love my bags and my shoes,and somehow I think these items defined who I was and I just couldn't imagine my life without them. I wanted a change, so I figured that in order to get this change I would have to change a few things in my life. I decided to give away all my designer handbags, all twenty of them. I left myself with one that I would carry to work everyday, my white vintage Louis Vuitton. This wasn't an easy decision, I weeped before finally deciding to give them all to charity. At this point, I felt lost but I kept going and then two weeks later I got the most amazing gift, it was everything I had ever hoped for. There were a lot of issues that were bothering me, and most of these issues were not even from my part but from people i cared about. I have learnt that some people feel intimidated by me and therefore they create other personalities and pretend to be someone they are not.For example, I have a friend who lied about who she is and where she comes from...till this day I never asked her why she lied, still waiting for her to come clean.I have also learnt that other people are only in our lives because they want to use us for what we have. For example, I have a friend who always only calls or texts when she wants something,as soon as she gets what she wants she disappears until another need arises. I have decided to cut her out of my life completely. What I am trying to say is that life is short and I'm making the most of it, I'm gonna smile everyday and only be with people who see my true value. I'm surrounding myself with people who inspire me to do more and be the best in my craft. I'm glad for all my blessings and love the fact that Spring has sprung, I'm ready for all the opportunities and challenges that are coming my way!!!!!
