Remembering Whitney Houston, YOU will FOREVER BE MISSED!

      I really can't put into words the emotion I am feeling right now.... The news of Whitney Houston's passing has me just a little shaken. Although I realize everyday that LIFE is short, it is definitely moments like this, that I hope the people that I love, know that I LOVE THEM DEARLY! I can remember singing in the shower to the top of my lungs, "And I, I ye I ye I ye, WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU... and a favorite that my best friend will only remember: Where You Are.. were my all time favorites... In memory of Whitney, here are some pics that made me smile......

This makes me smile....

You will forever live on my memory!

R.I.P.!!

Long Road.....

      Lately, I have been feeling like I am on a long road to nowhere. I have had more bad days than good and one would never know because I continue to smile through it all. I put on my favorite lip sheen, my fly outfit and fake it until I am behind closed doors. I feel my best when I am at home in my bed, underneath the covers. It seems as though I have a black cloud hovering over me right now. I try my best to continue to repeat my mantra: "And this too shall pass" but it seems as though it hasn't been working lately. As I struggle through these feelings I am having, I will continue to have FAITH that this is my TEST from HIM! Even though I know that HE will never put more on me than I can bear, I PRAY TO HIM THAT THE LOAD I AM CARRYING that is breaking my back, be slowly lifted. I am STRONG, FEARLESS and have a HEART OF GOLD so through it all I WILL SMILE. A friend of mine text me yesterday and said these words to me: "YOU ARE FAVOR! CONTINUE TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS, BECAUSE YOU ARE BLESSED!" When I read this, I got a little emotional I must admit, I don't know why but I did. I open my heart always and at times, I feel like it is taken for granted, but the text message made me realize that I can not stop being who I am because of what others do to me. I know that these small issues that I am having are preparing me for a bigger future with greater rewards. I may not understand fully, but what I know for sure is that "TROUBLES DON'T LAST ALWAYS"! With that being said, I will continue to put my best foot forward and strut my way down this long road that is ahead of me. I WILL conquer all of my problems without worrying about the past and preparing myself for the FUTURE!
 

                                                                     Happy Sunday!!!!!!

                       And don't forget to SMILE....
