Forever starts now


Although we never want to take the time to actually think about our mortality, it remains a fact that forever is promised to none of us. Therefore it is up to us to make our forevers. We must make our forevers in every breath we breathe. We must make our forevers in every move we make. We must decide to make our forevers in every decision we make.

Learn from the lessons of your mistakes


As you get older, be sure to become wiser as well. Try to make your mistakes the learning lesson that they were meant to be. If you’re making the same mistakes as you get older, you’re wasting precious time.

Invest in our future


Our children are our futures. And what we invest in them will determine what we and the world will get from them in return. Invest more time, more love, more encouragement, more patience, more education, and more understanding. It is guaranteed that the return on investment will be a loving, encouraging, patient, educated, and understanding adult.

This too shall be the past


When that relationship is not going exactly the way you would like, when that job is frustrating you, when your child is not being the angel you would like them to be, always remember… This too shall be the past.

Advice is only truly appreciated when requested


As much as we think we know what is best for others, and hate to see them go through something that we could help them to avoid, people are going to do what they want. Your advice can only truly be appreciated when it is asked for. Say a prayer for them and keep it moving.

The winds of change are blowing


As the strong winds of change blow through our country and the world, we must remember that change starts from within. We must decide to take care of one another. We must decide to take care of this earth that we have been blessed to have for our harvest. But first we must decide to take care of ourselves and our family. Change is definitely on the horizon.

Go after your dreams with the fierceness of a hunter stalking it’s prey


Your dreams are your souls desire to be happy and fulfilled. When chasing your dreams mediocrity and failure can not be an option, and ‘impossible’ and ‘can’t’ must be deleted from your vocabulary. And among the things you will accept from someone (ie. Assistance, coaching), you can not accept “No”. Go after your dreams with the fierceness of a hunter stalking it’s prey. See you at the finish line.

Guilted Savior


Don’t allow someone to guilt you into being their savior out of a situation that they could very well save themselves from. Sometimes people look at us and assume that now that we have come into their lives we will be the difference in their happiness, when the only person that can truly make “you” a happy person is… you.

Sister love


I consider myself a people watcher. It’s quite interesting to watch people go about there day.
Something I have noticed about women in particular is that a lot of them do a lot of hating on each other. It seems as though there is an auto-hate mode wired in some of their brains, and it immediately switches on as soon as they see another woman. So they are instantly looking for something about that woman to negatively comment about.
Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that all women are like this, but they seem to be outnumbering the ones who aren’t. If women actually acknowledged and realized the the power that they have, they would be running the world; and men just might be second class citizens.
F.Y.I. this is why men can get away with so much bull$hit, when dealing intimately with women; because of all of the hateration.
Wake up ladies, and love your sister as you do yourself.

Don’t give away your power


The only way you are going to have a good day, is if you decide to do so. Don’t allow anyone/anything to steal your happiness. You have the power to decide whether or not something will bother you or not, use that power at all times.
