So.......What's Your Dream?

My overall dream one day is to own and operate a hospital in which I would dedicate to my late grandmother. It would have a cancer center also due to the disease has been a main cause of death to most of my family members. I also hope to have a few different organizations and charities that focus on health, self-esteem, drug, alcohol, all kinds of abuse, education, arts, and other subject matters that tend to stress and bother our youth and young adults. After I'm moved and settled I will be going back to school to get a BSN in Psych and continue my Nursing to become a Nurse Pratictioner. So I ask all of you....what is your dream(s)? And what are you doing to obtain that dream?? I'm waiting to hear from you all.

Motivation

" 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!!!!!

Soooooooo Excited!!!!!

Okay so I am about a month away from going to the women's conference in Orlando,Fl that I has mentioned in a previous post. I am even more excited because I get to surprise my best female Friend/Sister who lives down there with my beautiful
little nephew. I haven't seen her since around July and alot has happened in both our lives since our last visit.

I have attached some pics of places that I have already been to during my last two visits down there as well as some places Id like to go to on my next trip down. Orlando is actually one of my top spots to move to. I'm still checking out other prospects, but Orlando is def at the top!! Hope ya like the pics!!!

This Friendship Should Be Laid To Rest

I saw this poem and it reminded me of alot of people who are having friend problems. I myself have noticed alot of fake people around my neck of the woods and its really funny honestly. But I always say " Out with the old, In with the new". And in 2009 there will be alot of old baggage thrown away, left behind, and forgotten!!! I only see stars in my future and they are as bright as can be........so who ever shinin wit me see ya at the top. Whoever trying to block my shine, must be left behind!!!!!! Sorry 4 ya!!!! hahah........NOT!!!!!!



What else could you do that would hurt me
How else could you cause me pain
How much longer will you go untrusting
And when will you leave me again
How many times will you tell me you love me
How often you'll say that you care
When again will you be unforgiving
When I reach for you no body be there
How many times will you tell me you're sorry
How often on me will you cry
And how I will always come running
For a while after Ill be left asking why
How many more tears can you take from me
How many more apologies can I make
Will there come a time for me
When I accept all was a mistake
How often will you come back to me
How many times will I fall
Before I admit how you're treating me
And for once over you stand tall
What else could you do to kick me down
How else could you make me sad
How much longer can you pretend
That this friendship hasn't gone bad
How many more times will you speak ill of me
Yet reach out for me when in pain
How much more can I take from you
And will you always be the same
When will you hear me calling you
When will you see all Ive done
When will you see how you troubled me
That this friendships had its run
When will you smile because I am smiling
Or are you saddened by my success
Maybe if these things are true my friend
This friendship should be laid to rest

Revelation

Its not a weakness if you don't know what to do with your life. That's the state most of us are in most of the time.

The weakness is if you don't want anything at all and settle for just the minimum of what you can get.

Always aspire for the things you want in life and figure out the best and most efficient way for you to attain those aspirations. Remember the sky is the limit, so always shoot for the stars!!!


Aspire: To see to attain a particular goal; to soar to a great height.
