YOU CAN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE

Okay! today I see things through different eye's because sometime what we see as devastating or tragedy could actually be a good thing in the end.  We'll you may say Girl! what are you talking about at 11:52 am on a Tuesday...  We'll I am talking about relationships, family, work, or financial issues.  Whatever you can relate this to in your own personal life.  Bad things in any aspect may Look bad.... But God can see further than you can, and what God see's is a window of opportunity for change in your life.  So today, will be no pity parties for you, whoever you may be, but get God perspective and you will see things differently all the time..  Once again, it may not be the way you see it but this is the view from my eyes....  BJ Princess...

Adventure's and Treasures I discovered

Today was a very busy day.  I began my day with a work out that was so very much needed considering I ate alot of snacks this week.  I am so overwhelmed with the task at hand trying to pack for my trip.  Oh so ready for a trip.  I am en route for a cruise on June 20, 2010 to the caribbean I can hear the steel drums playing.  I took a ride with a close friend to the Columbus Flea Market to purchase a sweater to wear over my dress and it seems like I was there for a long time.  After the ride to Columbus Flea Market I took a trip to the nail salon to get myself a pedicure and boy did it feel good!  It was costly but oh so worth it! 

As I sat in the nail salon I was reading a very old book by Maya Angelou "I wouldn't take nothing for my journey" it is a book with alot of excerpts and poems about life's experiences.  There was a story entitled "The New Direction" it was a story about a women who was married and was very unhappy.  She approached her husband to tell him of her dismay about the horrible marriage only to find out that he felt the same way!  Therefore, they split up and she didn't have any skills but she created a job for herself selling food to the workers at the lumber yard.  She realized that she couldn't work at the lumber yard because she was inexperienced and a women so she decided to invent her own job.  The moral of the story was about a women in a crisis and instead of having a pity party she decided to cease the moment and reinvent herself!  Therefore, I've realized with the turn of events in my own life with my separation and surprising notices that my husband already had a women on the side.  With that being said I just have to accept the fact that I can;'t change people or the environment but one thing is for certain I can only change myself!    

This is the view from my eye's......

"It's a Family Affair"

Today I started my day with no direction or idea what I was going to do.  However, there were a few more items I needed to buy before my cruise on June 20, 2010.  I got a call from a close friend who suggested that we go to the mall and grab a cup of coffee.  I was not a coffee drinker but for some reason six months ago I have become very fond of "french vanilla coffee."  We did go to the mall and had coffee but an unexpected event happened while we were at the mall.  My friend's sibling was taken to the hospital by way of ambulance.  I've been around my friends family and noticed that they have such a bond.  The family is replica of the movie Soul Food as it relates to the love and closeness on holidays and family gatherings .  Yep, they are close and no matter what happens they always come together NO MATTER WHAT!  Although it was a brief stay for the family member at the hospital the whole family begans to rally together and they always show up for one another.  Family from the north, south, east and west whether via telephone or in person makes an appearance or call several times a day.  They always come through for one another! 

It is such a family affair!

Family is so important and alot of families have no respect for one another.  We talk about each other and hold grudges but if the truth be told  we can't afford not to be close!  Look at the world today.  We can't depend on anything these days.  Jobs are downsizing, social security may become insufficient for some when its time to retire.  That's just to name a few things.  When will we come to the conclusion that Family can be an asset greater than any material or money.....  Family can bring a smile to your face on a day when your not feeling well.  Family can be your biggest support in a crisis.  Believe me I've witness with my own eyes today that family is essential.

Yep,  I truly believe that it's a family affair!

The view from my eyes......

"A Day of Purging"

Yep, I said it today is a day of purging things from my past and looking towards my future.  It's a bitter sweet feeling of anticipation and frustration at the same time. I woke up in a great mood today knowing that God was going to take care of all my issues.  Purging means to purify and make room for new things to come.  So here I go today is a day of anticipation of new and exciting things to overtake me.  God is totally in control but he has giving me the power to speak good things over my life as well.  I know this may sound like I am preaching to the choir however, I am just encouraging myself through some difficult times. 

Also, I've discovered that I can't do it all!  Yeah, I know I too thought that I was super woman trying to take care of all my issues and run a successful business too.  We'll I realized I CAN'T DO IT ALL!! so there I said it! I have to let some assignments wait for a season.  Holding on to too many things can cause overload on the brain! so today I purge all the things that have weighted me down.

Hey it may not be your view of life but it's my view from my eyes... 
Till next time....

Embrace the Changes

What I know for sure is that life is ever changing and with that being said, just embrace change.  Because whether you accept it or not change is coming and no one can stop it!  I mean the changing of our appearance as we age.  Our children as they grow we have to accept the changes in them.  Sometimes as parents we can hold on too tight.  And some parents hold on to loose.  From my own personal experience we have to know how to balance it all.  Anyhow in the scheme of things change can really challenge your character in ways you never thought.  Last but not least relationships really go through a change!  But with the good and the bad I am learning how to just ride on the waves of life.  The waves may become choppy or calm but I realize that it's going to Change! Letting go is hard even when it's in your best interest!  Gosh! I sure wish my mother was alive to ride the waves with me...  RIP Mom....  Even in your absence I can hear you saying "It's going to get better!" just hold on..  It may be scary because of the unknown but this too shall pass....
