I AM...This is my declaration!

      At times, I have a bad habit of saying what is on my mind, at the very wrong times. I guess you can call it diarreah of the mouth. My mommy says to me all the time,  that I am just like my Grandmommy. When it is on my heart, it is going to come out! Well, yesterday, I think I did it again. Something was bothering me and I let go. In response, it was said to me that I was a quitter. That bothered me because I know for a fact, that I AM NOT A QUITTER.! After speaking with my sista/friends who keep me sane and have no problem telling me the truth, I was told that I have to step back and assess when to say certain things. In other words, put a filter on my mouth. So, although I am not sure where my relationship stands right now from this point forward......

 

 

Today, I declare that I will do better at being mindful of my words and when I say them!

 

I am mindful of what I say and when I say it!

A Friendship REMEMBERED!

       Lately, I have been playing over and over in my head the friendships that I have lost and how it has affected me. Some relationships I can honestly say, whew... Im glad I have moved on and I am no longer weighed down by its negativity. On the other hand, I think about some friendships, one in particular, that I wish things would have turned out differently. I don't regret the things that were said but I just wish that the person who it was said to, would have really listened to what I was saying. I might have been a little harsh in my verbage but I was only thinking of one thing... NOT TO LOSE MY FRIEND!I do realize the TRUTH HURTS, so maybe she just wasn't ready to hear the truth and maybe just maybe, I should have been a better listener and watched my tongue for a minute. For that, I am sorry. I am working on being a better ME and not being so QUICK TO REACT.  Everyday,  I recall things that were said and how differently my life has been without her. When someone has been apart of your life for so many years and now they are no longer a factor, has been a very HARD, HUGE PILL TO SWALLOW. I am not sure what the future holds for us and how our universe would ever collide again but I do want her to know that I LOVE HER DEARLY!!! I miss our friendship and I can only hope and pray that all of her dreams, inspirations and thoughts are coming true!  

Until we speak again....



Friends!

      I have been in Atlanta for 4 years and I can honestly say, I have met and made some really good friendships with a group of ladies. As I reflect, over the last couple of days, I feel really blessed to know each and every one of them. They all bring out the best in me, in one way or the other. Today, I dedicate this post to them! Thank you all (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) for ALWAYS being there when I need you most!!!!

I love you all!
