The Day of Never Before

Today, 12/12/12, the day of never before...  This is a once in a lifetime day!  I, along with several other people, am very excited and doing awesome things!  Some people are making wishes, others starting new ventures… and then there are the people who are living as if this day is nothing special!

How many opportunities do you get to celebrate for nothing at all?  I, for one, like to take days like these… you know, the abnormal ones, and create something special!  I just like to have a reason to celebrate, smile, and enjoy myself!  To be honest with you, I didn’t give it much thought until midnight…

Yesterday was quite a doozy for me…work was stressful, the day was long, and I couldn’t get through it fast enough.  For some reason, I was concentrating on some feedback I received a while ago and it was truly eating away at me. 

It’s weird though, because I was feeling down for the entire day and then at midnight, I was given a reason to smile, a few reasons…more than enough to make me forget about the insignificant situation that had me down. 

I'm a firm believer that we speak things into existence and a couple of weeks ago I wrote this:

This post was about still trying to find my worth and my purpose… Understanding that people seeing greatness in you doesn't necessarily mean that you see it in yourself!  I was/am there!  But after a while of complaining and searching and trying to understand, I've given up!  Not in the way you think.  I've just decided to stand still, because instead of taking the good, I always seem to take the bad.  I can receive 100,000 compliments and take the one criticism and let it destroy my confidence.  I've been there for a little over a week… I let someone's misconception of who I am, put a dent in my character and take a piece of my confidence.

Then a little after midnight, like a beacon of light in darkness... Trumpets in silence... An overabundance of reasons that I AM ENOUGH began to slap me in the face!

I like to think of today, 12/12/12, as the day of never before!  The day that I am taking control of my worth and living IN IT!  The day that what I say GOES!  The day that I am MORE THAN ENOUGH!  No more, faking it til I make it… I am GREAT!  I am CONFIDENT!  I am influential and powerful beyond measure!



I’m not sure how you will make this day special but DO IT!!  THIS type of day doesn’t come very often… So have fun with it… Why not?

Table for one please… FINDING reasons to smile… Love me or leave me alone!

BACK TO HAPPY TIP: Even if you have to make up ways to smile… DO IT! Be happy… For no reason at all!

"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 wh...

Hello...Good Morning!?!

Image
I was going to write about something totally different today, but all of the random “Good Morning” texts I received this morning completely changed my mind!   Now, I’m not sure if I’m the only one this happens to, but what’s up with this dreaded “Good Morning” text!?! What does it mean?   Are these guys really thinking of me?   Are they just being polite?   Is it game?   How many other chicks are getting the same text?   I mean seriously, I am not personally affected by these random “acts” of kindness, but I used to be… Once upon a time, there was a girl…A girl whose daily mood completely depended on an insignificant “Good Morning” text!   It was so stupid, now that I think about it, how I could be so naïve!?!   But it made me feel valued, cared for and thought of.   I would really look forward to it every morning and if I didn’t get it, I was completely pissed and he had hell to pay!   How could I let this tiny gesture effect my ENTIRE...

The 1st step is Admittance!

When you smile is it a true demonstration of how you feel? Or is it merely a mask? Well I have to be honest with you, almost every time I smiled last year (2010) it was merely a mask, a cover up, a façade! I was hiding my real feelings by smiling in spite of.   In spite of pain, a broken heart, loneliness, betrayal.   I was abruptly thrown into a life that I hadn’t seen in 5 years.   The Single Life… I was truly in unfamiliar territory; my relationship had consumed my life.   Every aspect of my life either directly or indirectly related back to my relationship in some way.   So now that I was alone… What was I to do?   Well, I tricked myself! Lbvs… I refused to be unhappy, to let my ex have that much control over my life!   So I gave myself (in my mind) one week to get all of the screaming, crying, blaming, cursing and depression out of my system. Then I became the “I don’t need a man to make me happy” beautiful single woman who was enjoying my life! (...
