Carpe Diem ( seize the day), to take possession of by force. So just how do we begin to take control of our day? I believe that we first must arise giving thanks to the one who created us and set our mind upon the beauty and strength in us. If we begin our day with negativity this is how it will continue on snowballing into an undesirable result. It is important to surround ourselves with positive energy and positive people. What puts you into a good mood, is it music or meditation or something else. Whatever it is let it start your day and let nothing or anyone seize the day from you. Remember you control the day!

I was watching TV yesterday morning and heard this phrase. Such a simple phrase but with a lot of meaning. When we purchase something sometimes we have to activate it or it will not work.

New credit or debit cards do not work unless you activate them and so it is with our lives. If we don't put into action the dreams or desires that we have in mind for ourselves, our lives become useless in some form to us. Loving life means just that and you have to embrace change with action.

Sometimes just doing something new that you would never do or go somewhere that you otherwise would not go, Doing new things makes you want to try other new things and before you know it you have the courage to try bigger and better things. I think that everyday we should look for something new in our lives because who knows it could be our last day. Remember that tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

Good morning to my braveheart sisters,

I am sure that everyone knows by now of the passing of Michael Jackson. While i am saddened by his death it is a reality check of my own time clock that is constantly ticking down. What impact will i leave behind or whose life will i have touched in a positive way. It is easy to be consumed by our own self satisfaction but tomorrow is not promised to anyone, rich or poor, big or small. I promise myself to find the beauty in each day and to remember that my time here is limited, but i will not be consumed by the fear of death. I am reaching for the abundance of life that God promised me. No matter what your situation or what you are going through you can make it and turn your situation around. If only one person reading this today can reach down within themselves and believe with me then (we) not i have made a difference in this world one unique life at a time and whoever you are if you will reach down and do the same we can surely make an impact in this world. Peace, love and Joy to all who reads this today.

I choose everyday now and give myself permission to be a Queen who is blessed with an abundance of wealth consisting of joy, peace, happiness, family and many friends, but most importantly the love of the father and his son. I will not consider myself to be selfish when i look in the mirror and speak to the person staring at me and say you are beautiful and worth everything that God has for you. You deserve to be happy and successful in your life. Reach for your dreams for they are not possessed by a few but by many. In witting it is allowing me to release the positive energy within my soul and as so many have reached down to pick me up with their words i pay it forward to someone else and that they in turn will do the same.

Hello, to all of my sisters...

I woke up this morning feeling such joy, peace and elation.
I am so blessed to have a bond with an army of strong and inspirational women with whom i have never met but feel as though i already know.

I did something today that gave me great joy to do. Recently I found out that the man i had been involved with for almost 2 years was an ultimate con man. He was engaged to at least 5 women in different cities. He was living with me and cheating the whole time.

One of the women he was engaged to e-mailed me one week after he went to jail for a probation violation from 5 years ago. Mind you this man had his own business and was known by quite a few people. I was suspicious of his relationship with a client. I had e-mailed her in April of my suspicions but at the time she was not concerned or did not quite believe me.

Well after he went to jail in May, she e-mailed me and wanted more information. Once we compared notes we found out that there were a total of 9 women that we know of that he was involved with. He continued to lie to her about his involvement with everyone. When he found out that she had contacted all of the women who were known to be involved with him he became angry and is now threatening to sue her and i both, on what grounds we do not know.

I have not spoken to him since he was arrested but i did write him a letter letting him know that i knew everything and of course it was over for me. But what hurt even more was that this man told two of the women who spoke with him about me that he never wanted me and to look at me because he would never be with anything like me as though i was this thing that disgusted him. It hurt for a while but one of the women with whom i am still in contact with reminded that i am made by God and beautiful in his sight.

Well today i sent this man scriptures and much information on the salvation of God and i let him know that i forgive him as my Father forgiven me and that i hold no malice against him but i would that he find jesus as i had. I disobeyed God's will for me by letting this man into my life but i thank God that he is so forgiving.

This is all a part of my journey back to me. Today i can say i am stronger and wiser and this too shall pass.

Thank you so very much for all of the support and comments that i have received. This is exactly what i needed because i am fighting to overcome a people pleasing personality. It is not that i do not like to have people but i have always put myself last.
I am looking forward to getting to know each of you. You don't know how wonderful it is to have a network of positive women to cheer you on. Once again i say thank you, thank you and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I have embarked on a journey that i am excited and fearful about all at the same time.

I have been disabled since 1998 after suffering a stroke that paralyzed me on my left side. I am walking and doing okay now but I do still have some medical issues to deal with.

I decided to go back to school and take up paralegal studies but I am fearful somewhat because I want a more fulfilling and enriched life but going back to work and losing my source of income and security is what i have to get past. I know that this is something i would be good at but I have never gone out on a limb for myself, it has always been for other people and their happiness.

If you want something bad enough I do believe that you have to fight for what you want. It is hard to seek what makes me happy when I have never done so before. I hope that through connecting with other positive women that I can overcome this fear and I do know that through faith in God this too shall pass.
