" I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. "


Maya Angelou

I read this quote and I absolutely loved it! I am a huge fan of Dr. Angelou and this just caught me so off guard, but then it's so real too! I have so much happiness, dedication, fulfillment, and drive right now that it's not even funny. After I had the talk with my god mom and also just going to church and reading my bible more I'm just starting to see the old me coming back.

I had felt like I was someone else for so long that I didn't even recognize myself? As sad as that sounds it's so true. When certain things in life happen and you have certain relationships and bonds with people you almost find yourself changing to fit their needs. Now you may or may not notice it at first, but once you do it's almost like it's too late?

Now I truly appreciate and respect all those who have come into my life. No matter if it was for a Reason, Season, Or a Lifetime, because they all have taught me so many things. I posted a poem awhile back entitled, " Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row ". It's so true, everyone can't be there, until you are there yourself! That's how I feel right now. I'm the main attraction, the center of attention, I'm front row center for myself.

I'm not trying to sound cocky or arrogant, I'm merely using those examples as a metaphor to express that I'm taking care of me for me now, and everyone else should feel lucky to have me decide to let you be a part of my inner circle and care for you as I'm about to start caring for myself again. Wow! I'd never thought I would say something like that because I was always so focused on everyone else that I lost focus of myself.

Well that's over with! It's a brand new day and I'm so ready to, " Grab the world by it's lapel " and live a happy fulfilling life. Not matter if it's by myself or with a family. I'm gonna be the woman that I was always meant to be and hopefully an inspiration to my younger female cousins and others to do the same. I've been getting business in order to move and I've been so excited!!

I was talking to a good friend of mine today about me moving and my feelings on it. I told him that I almost feel guilty about leaving because of my true friends, brothers, nephews, and my godparents who I know will miss me terribly, but at the same time I can't effin wait to leave!!! I'm so happy where my life is right now that I cant see straight. Everything I've been thinking and talking about is really happening! There is still alot of things that are still up in the air, but bottom line is I'm the happiest I've been in a long time.

So watch out world, cause this young woman is about to start kicking ass and taking names!!lol Shine in 09 or get left behind!!!!!

No End To Success

Success is not the triumph over regress,
Success is the power to suppress.
Success is not the money or the fame,
Success is, knowing you are still the same.
Success is not the power or the pride.
Success is the knowing how to hide.
Success is not a gift or gain,
Success is accepting and believing in your name.
Success is not a point or goal to seek,
Success is, believing you have never reached the peak.

Please always remember this. This is for all those out there who are going to school, advancing in their careers, trying to start a career, business owners, net workers,designers, models, actors, and anybody else out there who is trying to make it to the top.

Sorry..........

I haven't posted anything in awhile. I've been working a lot lately and I've also went back to school as well. Thank GOD for online classes!!!lol

Work has been very hectic lately. There's a lot of tension within the site. It goes back to a previous post I had talking about, managers drawing the line between MANAGER and FRIEND.

I feel that my site has a really good group of people that get along for the most part. No arguing, bickering, or anything like that. I mean of course there are cliques, but what place doesn't?

My main problems with the site is lack of communication from the head manager to the rest of us and also not knowing when to draw that fine line that I had mentioned earlier.

I feel that some of the managers that have that " Title" truly do not belong in that position. I'm in no way trying to be a hater but I'm speaking the truth. And that goes toward the whole company not just my site.

I mean they have a HR rep who takes almost 6 mths to get your health benefits started and then to even get them, you have to whiteout someone elses form, fill in your own info, fax it in, then call the health insurance company youself to make sure they got them??? How ghetto is that??

I'm just very irritated right now with my place of employment and not sure who to talk to?? I mean can't go to my manager because she goes through her own mess, her manager will just direct me back to my manager, HR rep is just out of the question!!! And the CEO is down in Orlando manning he 3 new sites down there!?!

Hmmmmm??? Orlando is looking a lot better right now for more ways than one? That's what's keeping me goin right now, my trip to Orlando next month. I'm a little under the weather right now too cuz the weather here in Columbus is WHACK!!!! I wish I had someone to take care of me!! I'm always taking care of others and nursing them, but nobody nurses me back to health!;o( O well I'll get over it. June can't come quick enough for me so I can move!!!

Everyone keeps asking am I serious about moving??? Why wouldn't I be?? I'm still young, no kids, no man, and I'm just too ambitious to stay here any longer. I always wanted to travel the world, but how can I do that when I haven't even experienced living in another state?? Hell another city for that matter?!?

God has blesed me to love the field that I work in and am able to travel anywhere in the world to save lives and make a difference. So I've been getting offers from everywhere!! I find it funny because I stated that I plan on moving June of 2009, but they still giving me offers. And I'm greatly appreciating them!!

But we will see where the wind takes me?? All I know is it has to be a warmer climate, pay is what I make now or better, benefits are better, the schedule allows me to go to school, and there definitely has to be room for advancement. That's not a lot to ask for is it??? I don't think so;o)

Well that's all for now, I'm about to get back to studying this biology. UGH! I forgot how boring homework can be???lol But its all for the better of my future and my goals, so its all good. Hope all is well with my blog fam?? And sorry I haven't visited you all like I usually do, its just been hectic like I stated earlier, but I will not neglect y'all promise!!!

Have a great night!!! Hugs & Kisses!!
