What's Next!?!

What’s next?  I’ve come to the conclusion that life has its own plan and that things only happen when they are supposed to.  I often find myself looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, the prize in the Cracker Jack box, the center of the Tootsie Pop… But I haven’t quite found ALL that I am looking for just yet.

I’ve learned to be content with my current place in life, to be happy with all that I have been given.  But I can’t help but wonder what’s next!?!  Most of the people who “really” know me, understand that I have had a few desires unfulfilled over the last couple of years and it took me a while to learn to focus on the positive.  Please know that I have come to terms with where my life has brought me, but what’s next?!?

Professionally, things have begun to move forward.  I am making small advancements, building a great reputation, and preparing myself to make huge steps toward career advancement.  I have set goals and met them…I am currently basking in the fact that I set a goal and reached it!  But I still want more…

Does my “want for more” mean I don’t appreciate my current blessings?!?  Absolutely not!  Yes, I am happy!  The sun is finally shining on me and for that I am grateful… But what’s next?

I want so much more out of life and I speak those wants daily.  I don’t want to seem greedy or dissatisfied because I’m definitely grateful for all that I have, BUT I want more!  My want for more does not outweigh my grateful heart though!  Please believe that!  I’ll continue to look forward to what’s next because my blessings have already begun to poor in…

Not just for me though, my friends and family are getting all that they have asked for as well, babies, weddings, new relationships, promotions, new homes and more!  Our wants have become realities and I am so super excited for everyone around me!!!  You’ve gotta learn to be happy for those around you and before you know it, you’ll be smiling for things that are happening in your own life!  Trust me…I’m a living witness!

What’s next?!?! I’m not sure… Stay tuned…

Table for one please… I can finally see the light... Love me or leave me alone!

BACK TO HAPPY TIP: Its fun to have things to look forward to, so when you do look forward... The BEST is yet to come :-)

"If you're really a prince, I'll marry you..."

One of my favorite movies in the entire world is “Coming to America”.   It’s a side-splitting comedy about an African prince who goes to New York in hopes of finding a bride, so he won’t have to marry the princess his parents have chosen for him.   In the end, he finds love and they live happily ever after…O f course ! Isn’t that what happens in the movies?   Girl meets Boy…Girl falls in love…Boy falls too (eventually)… and they live happily ever after!   Movies have had me thinking this is what my life would be like as an adult!   Well they damn sure had me fooled!   It’s definitely not how my life has played out. I always thought I’d be married and done having children before I turned 30… Well, I’m pretty close to 30 and that has yet to happen.   In fact, I don’t see it anywhere in my near future.   I don’t see my childhood prediction coming into fruition anytime soon.   While dating, it’s been super difficult to encounter a man who actually wants to be in a monogamous relat

Weddings & Babies... Weddings & Babies...

All around me, there is love & life!   I am so happy for all of my friends who have found love and are adding to their families.   It’s no secret that my mother, the hopeless romantic is ready for me to have a baby.   In fact, last Tuesday (my birthday) we had “the talk” for the 100 th time.   She explained that she is not going to wait much longer for me to find the “man of my dreams” and get married!   I only have two more years to get pregnant and have a baby!   LOL!   She is very serious about this… And don’t get me wrong, I would like to have children, but in my own way… She is not tryna hear that at all!   There are certain things I expected to happen in my life and although things haven’t quite turned out like I envisioned, I have to live with what I’ve got.   How do you think I feel?   With the exception of a select few, almost all of my friends are currently in love, married, engaged, or pregnant!   And I am very happy for them, but I can’t help but think, “I wish that

A Forgiving Heart

Are you forgiving?   I mean really, truly forgiving?   I know I try to be, but only when it’s granted. It actually takes a lot of strength to be forgiving; to take your feelings out of a situation and forgive the person who has wronged, hurt, angered, or WHATEVERED (yes, I made up a word) you!   I’m pretty sure it all boils down to the bigger situation and if it’s actually worth it.   But, that’s a personal choice. Before you decide to forgive someone, do you come up with grounds for whether or not they should be forgiven or is it a choice you make, regardless of their reasoning?   I, for one, am a pretty good judge of a meaningful apology and that’s usually all it takes.   I mean, we are talking about minor, non-life changing, silly, but still significant situations that can be corrected.   I mean, who are we to judge?   The most unforgiving people usually are in the wrong or in wrong situations themselves.   I wonder why that is? I wonder where I would be in my life if God didn’
