Spring Cleaning

When I was young girl my mom use to say... today we are spring cleaning. Awhhh!!!! The sound of that was just awful... clean out the closets, under the bed, make a pile of the clothes that are too small... " I want your room clean". Now that I am grown I realize that spring cleaning is not just for cleaning up that room ... it's also to clear out all that drama, hate, and  bad choices that has brought you no happiness. You see, I did my spring cleaning yesterday and it feels so good.  I got rid of the old meaning people who didn't want to see me succeed, drama, hate, fake friends, and those clothes that just don't fit anymore....I  scrubbed the walls of my brain and I cleared my mind of anything that just doesn't make sense. I washed the outside of my heart and cleared it from all the pain that it has endured.  I disinfected my entire body from all the bad. Today I am clean - free of it all. This time I am going to clean everyday to make sure nothing piles up on me. That cleaning refreshed my soul and now I know I am way too clean to surround myself with a bunch of mess. Do yourself a favor and start cleaning.

.... Is It Really a Lost or a Gain?

Wednesday is my favorite day of the week... its my way of knowing I made it through the first 2 days and if I can just make it over this hump then I've accomplished another great (work) week. Boy has this week been a major challenge personally.... I lost someone this week and it was tearing me apart. I felt like I didn't know if I was coming or going through all the pain. I spent hours upon hours crying and wondering "why me" but it wasn't until this morning that I realized just what a blessing this was to me..... You see, you can love someone with everything you have inside of you, give your all when it comes to being there for them and never stop trying when you know it is failing but none of that matters if they wouldn't do the same for you. I know this now but didn't feel this way when the storm was so strong and my heart was tangled through the strong winds. I learned that its calm before the storm and after the storm you have to pick up the broken pieces and start over. Its amazing to me that the storm is over and I feel so rejuvenated. Now I know what I thought was a lost was really a gain. I gained my freedom back, my worries are gone, and my heart isn't hurting. I feel completely happy, refreshed and  most importantly, I  won my own battle. This is my life and I took it back. ... what a breath of fresh air!


Everyone has experienced a break up but have you experienced a real life fresh start after a break up? I did and it feels so damn good. Through all the trials and tribulations I learned that in life you have to "let go, and let god" ... You never know what he has in store for you.

Have a happy Wednesday!

Who is Your Soul Mate?

I saw this and  had to share....

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so out of control that you have to transform your life…” (unknown)

What Makes a Person Happy?

I was on the phone with a friend that I've known practically my whole life ...she talked about some things that was failing in her life.... but with her being newly married, pregnant with her first child, college graduate, and  wonderful career .... I thought she was smooth sailing. Boy was I wrong. We ended the conversation with a promise to get together soon and talk but before the line disconnected I heard her say "I just want to be happy"......

Its crazy because you can look at a person and be around them on a regular basis and not realize that they're unhappy. I know personally I've gone through some rough spots and continue smiling while maintaining positivity. Its pretty scary because you are actually holding in things which makes the situation more difficult.  When thinking about the things I've been through and hearing her stories I ask myself ....what will make me happy? Is it just one thing or is it a few things? How am I sure that what I think will make me happy will actually make me happy? Man, this is deep. I know I have an idea of things but I can't say those things will complete my happiness. Do we want what others have because we think that's what makes us happy? Money, Fame, Popularity, Appearances.... no one says those things will truly make you happy... I've hears that money brings more problems, fame takes away the fortune, popularity makes you miserable and your appearances can make you crazy if you aren't the way you want to be but what others want you to be...

My only answer to the question I ask myself is if you do less pleasing of other people and while ignoring your needs... if  you spend more time keeping up with the "Jones" rather than what you can afford... if you don't keep trying new things and keeping your mind clear of stress/aggravation ... your soul can never be too happy

That's just the way I see it!
