It's the Little things that sometimes make us the Happiest, not the Big things!
I use to ask for Big things, but now I just ask for Peace of Mind. When you get to the point where your Life seem out of Control and everything seem to be going nowhere, that's the time you understand how Wonderful it will be to have Joy deep down inside.

You don't have to be on Top to enjoy life's little pleasures, what will happen if you don't make to the Top? Will you give up on Life, or make the BEST of every situation? People sometimes say, when I get that dream job or that husband I want, then I will be Happy.

What if you don't get those things, what will you do then? I have had the husband, the children, the big house, but that didn't make me happy because I just want to get more and more.

Not to say you shouldn't want these things in Life, but is that what you really want? Or it is the hope to be Important? When that don't make it, will your life's goal to be a people pleaser, then you will have the Joy to be YOU! That's what make Life worth living, to be ME! Enjoy the RIDE

Take time to Hug yourself, takeTime to give yourself some Love, take Time to smile at Life, take Time to speak Positive words into your Life, take Time to make Love and not feel guilty!

Time is all you really have, because if you don't do things in a timely manner you will never have what you need to make you happy anyway.

Time is a healer and a changer of how you feel about Life. Time will make you forget what you where mad about, what you think will happen in time can change at any moment!

Time wait for no one man, woman or child, so what ever you do, do it now because there may not be time to do it later!

Oh yea only time will tell...

Christmas is here again! New Year is just around the corner, but have we gotten our house in order?
The dog need a bath, the children want a new toy, the wife want a nice clean house to cook and wonderful Christmas dinner for the family! Will this Christmas bring you what you asked for?
Time to go back to basics, people don't have money to waste on expensive gifts, but giving from the Heart never go out of style!

A little girl I know decide to make her decorations, she got a few pieces of paper and a pair of scissors and began to cut and cut and cut. When she finished with the paper it was a snow flake in shape. She said look Mom, my design is beautiful and I want you to have it. Please put it on display for all our friends and family to see! Her eyes lit up with joy and she smiled from ear to ear.

What happen to the days when we enjoyed the simple things in Life? We have to have more and more things to say how well we are doing in Life!
If you don't get that Big Car, Big House or Big Boat, doesn't mean that you are not worth the good that Life have to offer. You can get a Big Kiss and Big Hug from the ones that Love you and still enjoy the season, for that is truly what's the reason for the Season! Happy Holidays and Great New Year

.Being Thankful is something we take for Grant, we think that by looking happy about something is enough. Why is that? You give a Gift or your Time to some people and they don't even take the Time to say even a Thank YOU!

I see little children getting everything now days and don;t even hear a, oh Thank you MOM and Dad, like their parents are suppose to do it without a mere gesture Have we came to the Times where the Me Generation, have forgot the simply things of LIFE?

Maybe we as adults do the same too...hmm, so by example the children just expect everything to be just handed to them with no doubt or appreciation, because I am supposed to get what I want! They see on TV that all the Games, Clothes and Toys are for the asking. We spoil them by running out to the Store and pleasing them every Time. When I was a Child I had to do chores and help out around the house to get something. I even started to work at 15 so I could get my own school clothes, not to say that we have to put our children to work or anything...But it taught me the value of a dollar and how much my parents had to sacrifice to get me the things that I want from them.

Times are hard and if we don't have it, to give to the young people what they want; they are Seriously willing to do almost anything to get what They want,.. this is not Good. It works on their.self esteem in a negative too, They see their peers having this or that and seek ways to get it to. Some or even selling their sell themselves to the Highest Bidder, when I say the highest bidder, they will go to all manners of negative behaviors to get what they want! You name it they are doing it, sorry to say.

When I mentor them, I asked some of them what is going on and they say to Me. I see the Grown people doing the same thing, Cheating and doing what they want, so why shouldn't I? That's what they see everyday...hmmm on the news, in the papers on the block and this is from the highest people in the land, getting theirs, by any means necessary!

I hope that I don't sound like I always show my appreciation, I would hope that I do, but just in case that I haven't lately, please except my Thanks for being there for ME!.

1 LOVE,

Rosalind

So many times I hear someone say that they are in LOVE. I wonder if people really know what it mean to be in Love? I bet you can find many a person that will try to explain what it means to them!

Some may say that it is a feeling I get when I see a person, or it could be a fluttering in my heart when I see the person, or the sexual arousment, I feel when I'm next to that person! How Good the person looks...outward expression most of the time, but it can be an inward expression too. Different people see it,as if having good sex with a person then I feel that he or she will be a good person to Love. Then there are those that like intellectual stimulation and communication that make them fall in Love! Some people have a fantasy about a person and think that, that is Love for them.

Whatever you reason is for feeling that you are in Love is not as simply as 1, 2, 3...I think that's why so many of us loose heart when the sex, communication, fantasy or romance fade. We began to say things like I don't feel the same way I did before, he/she don't look good to me anymore they are not the same person I once knew...etc

Love is a four letter word but some of us think it is the F*** word too!!! I have felt that I was in Love before but as the years went by the main reason I choose that person was like I didn't know them at all. People are good at hiding who they are and showing you what they want to show you of who they are....For example a person dates you and make you feel like you are special and then once you start being controlled by the person you realize that they are not what they pretend to be after all!

When people are single it seem like they want to be married and then when they get married they seem to want to be single...hmmm what's that about? You see the couples so happy when they are just dating and then they get married and all hell seem to break loose. Old Girl/boyfriends come back from the dead and you start seeing people you never thought you would ever take a second look at you, but all of sudden everyone want you!!! Then the drama began.

To tell the truth when you don't have anyone no one wants you but when you think you finally found that special someone everyone wants a piece of YOU...hmmm I don't understand why for some reason we can't make up our minds on this LOVE THANG? I hope that I don't repeat some of the relationships I had before because I must have been insane...Hell No they where the one INSANE

Today was a day that I just had to stop and reflect on my Life...as I look back over the years that God have BLESSED me with, I am so GRATEFUL to all the wonderful thing I have been able to endure. I was not born with a sliver spoon or in poverty, so what do I have to say is God have been so Good to ME! I'm not just saying that because I have not had any ups or downs, but I'm a grateful person for everything that I have seen, done, given and expressed in my LIFE...


I am the kind of person that look beyond what people or circumstances say I can and can't not do in my Life, you know that little voice that tell you that you are not good enough...strong enough, pretty enough, intelligent enough to make a difference in the world I LIVE in! It's not the people who say you are this or that that really stop you, it's your self talk, that make or break you!


When I was a little girl I would see how something was done and I would just start to imitate what I saw. It have never been hard for me to look at a problem and look thru the mess and confusion and take a BOLD step to do it my way. I have always been able to think fast on my feet and not shy away from things that seem impossible to other, I thank GOD for the insight he have given me. Fear= to me is false evidents that appear to to be real, that is a true statement, for the fear we see in something will make us stop!!! I don't want to sound like a person that don't fear situations or problems, but I don't let them stop me from doing what is in my heart of HEARTS.


I remember reading Elaine Freedmen's book one day and, she said feel the fear and do it anyway...that left a GREAT impress in my mind, that I can only STOP me, no one else can do that. So when I began to fear a person, place or thing, I say to myself, feel the fear but do it anyway! Don't get me wrong, God don't want us to put ourselves in harms way, but not take our eyes off of what he can do thru YOU.


I look to the FATHER in me to make me BOLD, POWERFUL, and LOVING each and everyday of my LIFE...

He will never leave me nor forsake me, when I'm in trouble or in doubt...He have proven this to me over and over again.


We are only human and don't know everything, but when you have Power within yourself to make a choice to do the necessary things that we do with our LIVES, then we can see past what seem to be a problem....on to the Blessing and the Lesson. We get so caught up in the who, what, how of the situation that we forget the TRUTH of the matter....We didn't make ourselves, but the one that did give you LIFE is always with you,if you choose to TRUST him and Him alone for the resources to make a BREAK THUR...Let your Yourself SHINE!!!

Today around the world there are many people that are homeless! How they got there doesn't really matter is the fact that why are they homeless? WE can be up today and down tomorrow, with the way the economy is going around the world. Flooding earthquakes, fires, disasters of all kinds, not to mention the fact that people don't have the income to pay for decent housing, mental disorders you name it could be part of the problem.
No one wake up one day and say I guess I will live in my car or a park today! Shelters are over full and families are breaking up at a all time high. Why, when now should be the time that we try to help each other thru the hard times that are going on. We see so many children and women, elderly and men on the streets trying to beg for food or shelter when the banks and lenders have so many houses just setting with no one to purchase them? I believe the Governments should ask the banks to give back to the communities a few of them as transitional homes! We bail out the banks and wall street in the last few years, so why can't they at lease do something to help with the homeless population. This is the first time since I have been born that I have seen so many out of work and homeless. The many people that have a place to stay and a job are holding on by a string too! The war is big business and we are paying for it with the lives of our children and the money of the tax payers, so why can't we give back to the ones that don't have a home to live in until they are up on there feet again? I would be will to open up a home for the homeless if the government or banks would just give me a few homes to work with. I have taken care of the elderly and I would like to help the women and children that need some where to lay their heads at night . The banks can do that and government too if they wanted to. It's not just up to the churches and the charity organizations to come to the rescue of the people! Think about it, it could be you next...

I was looking at the word Destiny, as a journey or a adventure. I have always wanted to travel and see the world as a whole. To be able to visit the places that you see on TV, All the the beautiful sights and sounds of a foreign land. Where you can experience the people that live there, how they see and feel about life.
People all over the world are looking for the joys of life, where they can do what is good for them. To enjoy their hard labor. When you are on vacation it is different than when you live in a new place, You began to experience the lifestyle of the everyday people, how things are not much different than where you live. Peoples culture in the islands are more laid back and slower or calmer depending on how you see it. I didn't see it at first, that the people don't see things the way I use to see them, fast pace and in an hurry. It's a good thing, because being to much in a hurry can make you miss out on what is really important
Like seeing that the people around you all play an important part in your journey thru Life. We see them just as another person, but they are helping you to see thru the lens a little clearer. There will be people that come into your life for a purpose to make you experience certain things to make you grow and may only be there for just a little while. Then there are those that's your family, that you are born into. They will teach you a sense of who you are, who your parents are and the way they understand life. By what you see them do you are influenced. They say a child learn what they live, do we real know how to share the joys of life to our children or do we just past on what we think we know from or parents too? Life can be a joy or a pain, depending on who rears you and what experiences you had growing up. No two people have the same experience, that is why we shouldn't judge someone. We don't know what they have experience to be that way. What we do with our life after we are grown and take control over our lives is up to us,by what we do. It's up to us to choose a new life, to change the things we didn't like! It's about Choices, It's starts with you. You have to attract more of what you want out of life. You have the last say on what you will and will not do, to be that wonderful YOU...

Whisper my name softly, say it as the object of your Desire. Take my Heart into your hand and mold me with the caress I deserve. Speak to me with the Love and fresh Fragrances of a Spring day, but please don't give my LOVE away. You know that you have me wrapped up in your kisses that I so enjoy, kissing me so sweetly. Rub you fingers up and down my spine and give me your Love so divine. I can't wait until I see you again, and hold you so tightly, this is all I think about my Darling, My Dear, My Sweet HEART!

We need to have respect for ourselves, if you don't people will walk all over you and not look back.
The reason I say this is because I once experienced a person that thought that because I am a good and loving person that they would take advantage of my kindness (WRONG)! I'm a people person, but I don't take to kindly to someone thinking that I am anyone's fool.
I was trying to help the person out and they thought they would use me, so I let them think that they had the upper hand and have enough rope to hang themselves. They when so far to take from me, so the next thing they knew they where back in the streets with nothing.
Why do people try to take and not give? Don't we understand that what you give you will receive! That is the law of God not just man's, I'm not saying that you will get it from the time you did the harm or deed; it will come when you least expect it. I use to wonder why would someone would try to take your love and mistreat you, but then I realized that there are givers and taker in life. Some people don't like to share, so they would rather get something for nothing. But the sad fact is that you never get something for nothing, but even if you do take from others you will never keep it for long.
So don't allow anyone take you for grant and disrespect you and take your love for weakness. Even if it is your family and friends, because they say the ones closes to you are the ones that don't always give you the Love and respect you deserve.
You are born into a family and you may not have a choice about that, but you choose your friends so choose wisely! Respect yourself at all cost....1 LOVE

No Regrets

Today the LORD spared my Life, he did not allow the accident to take me away from this life. I thank him for protecting me from all hurt harm and unseen dangers. We take Life for granted each day and don't give him the appreicaiton that he deserves!
There is no gaurantee that we will wake up every morning or live to see another eveing at twilight. I am glad that he cares for me and forgave my sins on the cross. We sometimes think that we are suppose to have everything that we want and made the mistake at taking and not giving back anything of ourselves to him or others. I pray that I will always give to people my LOVE and help anyway that the LORD leads me to do.
I hope that I hold on to the LOVE of my family and friends and cherish them while I have breath in my body and the mind and will to share each day on earth. We need each other and not things, money my come and go, but the ones that are most important to US should not be set aside for the people that may never apperciate you at all! The very people that care about you, we push them aside for others that don't care about us at all, why is that?
I hope someone will read this and take the time to call your family or LOVE ones and tell them how much you care about them, for you may not see them ever again.......

Passion is when you have a longing and desire for a person, place or thing. Passion can be to given to your mate, by giving them the best love making he ever had and please them and yourself in the process! Or it can be to create a new business or have a job that you feel passionate about. People think that when you want to do something that it will make you happy, then the reality set in and the very thing that you wanted will feel like a bore or lack of passion to do it again.
True Passion will not be begrudging. it will be as natural as breathing air. You will long to do it as often as you can and love to speak about to others. You can't wait to do it over and over, because you really enjoy the way you feel about the thing you have passion about. Reading for example can be a great passion for some people, they can't wait to pick up the new book that they have purchased. They will read it from front to back within days of getting it and want put it down. They have so many books that it look like a libary in their home. They will talk about the new book that you just read and will try to encourage others to read it too! Another person will want to dance all the time, as soon as they find a dance floor you will see them on it, moving, shaking, sliding around like it was all they want to do in their spare time.
Then there are people who are compassionate and passionate about giving help and love to others. They are the one that will become an advocate for the homeless and the children and the poor of society. They take time to give to the ones that can't do for themselves, they volunteer to charity events and give to foundation to help with making sure that the less fortune are given an helping hand when it is needed. They give Dignity to the ones that don't have any one to turn to and Respect to the ones that have been disrespected by others, that have been made to feel ashamed and looked down upon by society.
Passion comes in different forms, but when you have it you want let go of it for anything! What are you passionate about?

Happily ever after, is something that I have been wondering about.
We are read to as a child about the fairy tales that is read to use by adults and school teachers, but I want to know if this is an good thing to do? Especially for little girls, because when we don't have the Fairy Tale Marriage or the Prince Charming or the House with the white picket fence; it become a fear of failure to some!
I had a friend that when all out for the dream of becoming the Princess that we dream about. She tried to marriage prince charming and live the American Dream, just to have a divorce and no home in 10 years. She ask if there was something wrong with her or if she should have done more for him? She though that she was a good wife and a good mother and a good person, but when she got disappointed by the divorce and lost the house and the friends that she though was real; it became a nightmare.
Her family and friends said she was not pleasing him so that's why it didn't work. So she tried again, she improved herself, by taking class on how to be a homemaker and a better parent. She even took up lap dancing to excite her new husband, she got slim and looked like a million bucks. But a few years later she found out her that he was cheating on her with another women, she did everything she could to make him happy she though!
I asked her if she ever Loved herself first and she just looked at me with shock and tears in her eyes.
I never though about that, and no one ever ask me that question before either. She I was always told if I please him he would LOVE ME, I guess that never cross my mine, she said. That I should want to please myself too.
Society make sure that women are taught to do for their family and their children and others, but we never get the message that we should put us first. Even on the airplanes they tell us to make sure we put on our life jackets and air mask and then help the other person with theirs. I think the world being ran by men, so they want to make sure that they are pleased and if they get tired of the person for whatever reason then they just can get a new one. Women too have it mixed up, we don't wait on the men to do anything for us before we rush in to giving him our all an all. Women also chase the men and don't wait for him to woo us at all, we think that if we don't give him what he wants; then he will get it from someone else! I see the young ladies today are willing to kiss and flirt with each other in the clubs, just to make the men want them, so they think!
Have we become so desperate that we will do anything to get the man's attention? I don't mean that you must not let man know that you are interested in him, but I think that if he don't want you it is nothing you can do. So don't look for him to make you happy, look within yourself to be happily ever After!

Being sexy is something that women often have trouble with. We look to others to make us feel sexy, men specially make us think and fell sexy. However it's a mind thing! I can look in the mirror and see differently than someone that see me. I may see a scare or a line or a wrinkle and think that I look a mess. But when I get an compliment from someone, I say to myself are they really talking to me?
I pamper myself with creams and lotions and perfumes and feel sexy and than I get a person that say mean things to me and then I feel bad in an instance. People sometimes see you and feel insecure then want to may you feel insecure so they will talk down to you to make you feel bad. Than you stop trying to look good to please others that are insecure.
Well I say sexy is as sexy does, in other words you have to feel good in your own skin every day, because there is only one of you and God made you very special and sexy is part of that. No one can be you no matter how hard they try so don't look to others to approve of you! I know people that want to look like someone else so they go to great lengths to change themselves. But they will never be that person, if you want to be the best person you can be work on the way you feel inside and it will radiate on the outside. Even if no ever tells you that you are beautiful or sexy. We as women, as we get older we stop trying to look our best but that is a mistake we have to look our best at any age. Men appreciate a well kept women, not to please them but to please yourself. If you take good care of you then the men will notice you.
We often take care of our mates the children the friends the family, but leave ourselves for last. Why is that? It doesn't mean that you have to stop doing for them, but we must take care of ourselves. They will get to a point where they want take care of us either, by the way we treat ourselves. People are funny if they see that you don't appreciate yourself they will walk all over you. I know that society put models on the magazines, movies and TV to say this is how we should look but that is just and illusion. That's just makeup and smoke screens, but how many of us really can even be the perfect 10. I modeled for years and now I hate to wear makeup, it cost to much for instance and the person that you are looking at is not the person you are anyway.
So I would like to say to all the beautiful sisters out there, that you are beautifully and wonderfully made by the creator of the universe...Don't let anyone steal your Sexiness.....Sexy is as Sexy does.

I want to comment on this video because this is what real Life will do to you if you are not strong enough to fight back. Mr. Robbins have been a Great mentor to me, I when to one of his seminars in 2000 in San Jose CA and was amazed at how the people there gave him there full attention. Usually when you go to a event there will be a lot of moving around and talking, but this was different for me. I'm a quite person when it come to listening to someone speak, that day you could hear a pin drop! But he also had us do exercises to free us from tension and release the stress of being in our seats a long time. We jumped, hopped, ran around the area we were in, streched and twisted, breathing deeply. I felt like I was in a gym class again, Pumped up and ready for anything.
I was so excited to go home a use the technic's he illustrated to make my business grow in Real Estate. That year I made over $32,000 extra in sells, I applied the energy and technics I learn that day to put my best in to ever client I had. I formed a good relationship with my first time buyers to make them feel important, instead of just another person that I want to sell Real Estate to. I still have a good relationship with them to this very day and became friends with some of them.
I was excited to share more about Real Estate with my family and friends to encourage them to learn and grow more intrested in the Real Estate market for the future. This was the best money I ever spend on and seminar by far. When you find a good mentor it will help you go the extra mile in your giving of yourself and your business will grow too!

The human mind is so Powerful, that we can change the world around us. Thinking about something long enough and you can see it come to the past. I wonder if all of us think on Peace in our family, neighborhood, schools and world that we can see the change for a better world?
At times the world seem to be going for all out war, we have war on drugs, war on terror, war on each other. I know that we have to take a stand when people terrorize our land and kill people for what they believe to be taking what they feel is their rights. But how have the right to take away freedom from anyone?
I was looking at the news the other day and heard that we are going to send troops to Afghanistan to help them fight the enemy, why do we always have to go to war to help people fight there battles? Our young men and women have been of in the middle east for over 9 years now fighting a war that should be over by now! If the LEADERS in that country can't take care of their own people, why should we interfere? It maybe started out with 911, but now we have been at war for years after Mr. Bush said we won the battle in 2002 I think. Can't we do more with our taxes dollars here, where unemployment is high and we don't have the means to provide for our families. I may not be wise in the war game, but this is costing us a lot of money, lives, respect in the world and help for the soldiers that need help when they do come back home. I understand that freedom is a high price to pay, but PEACE is still not in sight!
