Positive Flow...

I saw this post on twitter last week and meant to blog about it but I had forgotten...


Im sure we all can relate to this...we all have those we want to help so bad but they just always seem to have issues, many they bring onto themselves and we feel obligated to save. Many people dont want to be saved they just are accustomed to chaos and hope you give them the advice they want to "hear" but they really dont want to take action to live a peaceful life...

Taking on the burdens of others slowly tears away at your inner self. Of course if you care about the person you will get frustrated, mad, sad etc and those are emotions we want to experience the least so its best to stay far far away unless truly necessary. But if you find yourself constantly listening to sob stories, drama and just downright negativity...runnnn....really really fast!! Before you know it you will find yourself feining for that chaos subconciously..

Sometimes we have to give tough love, they will thank you later.

Just Talk...

I think I've spoke on communication before but it is a bigggg contributing factor to whether or not a relationship (friends or significant others) will sink or float!  But the hardest part is to get a person to communicate or feel comfortable enough to communicate with someone else.  At the end of the day it boils down to detaching from your fears of the reaction you will get.  Playing both sides as a good listener and communicator can affect and improve communication skills.  We at times feel that a person will over react because that is what WE will do if we hear something that doesn't line up with what we want to hear.  But we definitely have to be receptive to the truth or just another persons feelings or opinions.  It takes one time to criticize a person for how they feel and the walls of communication come tumbling down....

I know I can be on the side of holding things in because I don't want to hurt a person's feelings, I don't want to hear their real reaction (even though we say we do...WE CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH)!!  I also seen someone post on twitter how it is necessary to express yourself, good and bad things....that is how we remove those who aren't meant to be around and gain those who ARE meant to be around.  I definitely agree but a lot of times we want to keep around the same people and are afraid to grow and get what we need from the new friends and associates that are waiting to help us move forward....

Just a random thought and reminder to myself of how I need to constantly work on communicating and being an even better listener....

"Marcy to Barclays"

New ad from Jigga man...one word to describe it...EVOLUTION

One small idea can snowball into man great ideas. Like my previous blog stated, never despise small beginnings (Zechariah 4:10). That's what I'm trying to focus on now days, the small things and small beginnings. Taking advantage of ALL opportunities presented, not just ones that seem like will make a quick buck but ones that will allow me to mature and grow on the road to success.

I surely prayed for patience...God is definitely answering this prayer :-)

First Day Back....

So today is my first day back to work and apart from my little man! :-(( I'm only in on MOndays and Tuesdays for this month then 5 days a week! I'm doing good...I haven't harassed my Ma to death, she's actually called me because I'm sure she knows I want to call her LOL! His Tia Morgan and Maikia are there also so pray he doesn't come back spoiled :-) I've loaded my office with his pics and I can't stop looking at the clock waiting for us to be reunited again...I love that little guy!

Just had to write to keep a sane mind...thank you Lord for your strenffff!

Mommy Loves You Cayden Mannnnnnn <3

Appreciation...

Just a quick post, people love to know that they are appreciated. Take the time out today to show a friend, loved one etc. how much they are appreciated. Whether it's a text, card or just a call to say thank you. When gratitude is shown it makes others want to continue to do more and not feel their actions are going unnoticed.

Just something that was on my mind and I thought I'd share! :-))

Never Despise Small Beginnings....

I'm a big fan of Tyler Perry, not just because of his movies but his overall message he sends as well as his story. I saw this video posted on FB and had to post it!

This was so on point for me!!! I have the tendency to despise small beginnings especially if I'm putting my all into something and it seems like efforts are going unnoticed. I'm always looking for the fireworks and the big break when like in the video, things can change instantly AT THE RIGHT TIME. I will just continue to prepare as far as my passion is concerned and the progression of my family.

Everyone has to start from somewhere and that waiting period is for a reason. Anything worth having is waiting for. Sometimes we feel like what's the point of taking the long way to our goals and dreams but staying the course promotes longevity. Shortcuts have short results....

Continue to be inspired!

I'M BACKKKK!!!!!!

So I haven't blogged in a whole month!! I was hoping and praying I wasn't about to kick my blog to the curb but I
have sooo much to talk about!

First....I am a new mommy and am loving every single second of it!!! I gave birth to Cayden Xavier on

February 6, 2012 @ 6:12pm and he

was 8lbs 13oz!! So to all those who swore up and down I would have a teeny baby...POW! Fooled ya :-) He is amazing and anything he does we think is sooo cute! Burps and farts included!! My pregnancy was amazing and labor and delivery was even better! Contractions are definitely the work of the devil but I handled them well *pats self really hard on the back* lol I had a great support system my entire pregnancy and that was and is a blessing in itself! Cayden is truly blessed!

I won't get too deep into everything being as though I'm a private person and I can talk for hours about my new love...I included a few pictures just to show everyone what I've been doing for the past month!!!!

Snapped Back...

Funny how things work themselves out...

I was just having a moment laying here frustrated (for no reason at all smh) and I logged on Twitter and Terry McMillan tweeted, when we wake up and before we got to sleep name 3 things we are grateful for. She said see how we feel different afterwards. I did that and I did feel different and realized I was just trippin. Us women have emotional, moments, days, weeks, etc. But we have to keep focused on all the good going on.

This post has nothing to do with anything in particular besides showing how a shift in thoughts can be a easy shift to a different mood.

Good Nite! Remember...what are YOU grateful for???

Jay really giving up the word BXTCH??

I was browsing the net and saw that on top of the song Glory, Jay Z has also written a special letter to his princess saying he is giving up the word BXTCH! That is a big deal for the rapper who pretty much went toe to toe with Oprah about why the word wasn't as bad as people perceived it to be. Little Blue is changing Jay all around the board, can't wait to hear the new music that I'm sure will be soon to follow. Kids can bring the worst or best out of people and it seems she's doing the latter!

This is definitely a shocker after his line in 'Say Hello'..."when Jena 6 don't exist, tell em that's when i'll stop saying bxtch...bxxxxtchhh"

Below is the letter to Blue from Jay:

Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich,

I didn’t think hard about using the word B—-.

I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it

now with my daughter in this world

I curse those that give it.

I never realized while on the fast track

that I’d give riddance to the word bitch, to leave her innocence in tact.

No man will degrade her, or call her out her name

the women won’t despise her and call her the same.

I know it’s gonna miss me

cuz we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees

when we all used to hang out front

singing 99 problems but a lady ain’t one.

Excuse me miss, can I be your mister

cuz I can tell the difference from a little girl and a sister,

She never grew up, her father left her alone

I promise not to talk like we used to

until Kingdom Come.

I’m so focused on your future,

The degradation has passed

I wish you wealth, health, and insight

forever young you may pass.

Blue Ivy Carter, my angel.
