Today I have a cause for celebration. Today, I shall celebrate what an unbelievable life I've had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make me a stronger woman. Just as a gem cannot be polished without friction, nor can a life be perfected without trials. I'm taking the time to acknowledge my life and praising myself.
Ecstatic about my Hemodialysis Training beginning Feb 21st, a goal that I've had to put on hold due to caring for my mother these past (almost) couple of years (alone), and I will continue to do so; my parents are now my responsibility, they're the best, always have been, and I will do absolutely anything for them, for as long as I possibly can. While having my mom being diagnosed with Renal Failure, I was drawn to learn more about the chronic disease, and decided on expanding my studies, and practice of Nephrology. My career path will take a drastic change from being an Engineering Configuration Manager to a Hemodialysis Patient Care Technician, but so looking forward to the new challenge. And, I'm humbly grateful that my mother is now on the list for a kidney transplant; and not to mention, she overcame, defeated one of the most known killers known to the human race, cancer (breast cancer). It's victories like this that make my heart very, very happy!
I am forevermore thankful for the wonderful physicians shes had through this long and tough journey, God's blessed my mother and family beyond words could ever express. Therefore, today, I have a cause for celebration! So here I go, onto my new chapter in life, going all in, and will soar on eagles wings--with the grace of God covering and sustaining me.
God's been good to me, yes He has!

♥LOVE♥ is a choice:
they say: "you never know what you've got 'til it's gone."
Well...my perspective on this here is:
One, I don't want to know what coulda been, shoulda been, what if....Because, secondly, I definitely do not want what didn't belong to me in the first place--it would never work--it would be a constant battle. All I'm looking forward to is what the future holds for me, and the BIG surprises the good Lord has in-store for me to embrace! I only want and need what belongs to ME! Period.
Walking away from an (on and off) relationship, and mind you, it's surely one of the hardest, most difficult things for one to endure, and the strength to let go; especially with all the time invested--Hearts, and Lives being severely shattered, all the confusion; but, by the grace of God, being totally, completely restored, and onto a speedy recovery. Awaiting what the next chapter in your book of life will hold.
Many are not aware of the relationships other people have, or are not fully informed, nor involved, in any way; they don't know the goodness of it, what they're going through, what they've had to endure, overall, one mustn't judge, or try and assume they know how another person(s) relationship status is, etc...The fact is that most like to keep their lives private. And some things in life must remain there, private.
And please, if you are in a dysfunctional, toxic relationship--under any and all circumstances, I'd like for you to hear what I'm about to say, and that you take it to heart, and that you may engrave it deep within you: please remember, that you are a valuable, beautiful person--God fearfully and wonderfully made each and everyone of us (this is His word), and He didn't make mistakes. You deserve nothing but the best, and your happiness is crucial. NEVER let anyone steal your joy, value, morals, your character, your spiritual being-because being in a toxic relationship will eventually steal all of those valuable characteristics, if you make the choice to continue. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
You matter! You are important!
Share your life with people who love you , uplift you, who support you, and your dreams. Don't surrender, submit yourself to people who have no control over your life (or theirs), and are only there to bring you down and make your life miserable: only because they have yet to figure out who they are, they're unhappy with themselves, and feed off of good, sincere, honest souls. People of that kind are called Jezebels (they don't know love if and when it hits them, they take loving people for granted, and thrive on draining others of the positive, warming energy with their decit, manipulation, and are utterly shameless, without remorse)!
Furthermore, it doesn't matter how much your in-love with someone, your love for them, if they don't love you back. Your love doesn't matter, to them. Being in love is being in ONE accord, in harmony. Share your love with someone who will not take it for granted and that will, hopefully love you with all they've got. When I love, I do just that, LOVE, with ALL that I've got!
God is LOVE, and where there is no LOVE, God is not present, nor a part of. And I want God's abundant blessings, and so should you.
Lastly, when I let go, I do just that--Let Go! LOVE is a choice! Let Go, and Let God! And, don't regret your past life, regret you invested your time on the wrong people, however. Let them be a lesson.
Don't ever compromise yourself for no-one, you are all you've got.
Love will find you.
Never the less, I thought I'd share this with you, and in hopes that this perhaps might shead some light, bring comfort to a current or past situation.
Peace. Love. Joy. ♥ =)

Could I be any crystal clearer than this?!
I'm a tad bit mysterious, compassionate and a very polite woman – it's the pisces nature in me, I guess. I will try and make you want to know what it is that I am thinking, what my dreams of night are and where in life I want to go. Desires for someone to protect me, someone who will always put a smile on my face and keep me happy. I will tend to want you to try to settle down and possibly try being in a relationship. I'll almost make you seem as if you are being enchanted, and you can’t think of anywhere else you would rather be, but here with me. If you want to seduce me, you must remember to respect my femininity, turn on your romantic charm and be genuinely compassionate towards me. In doing so I indifintely want you just as much as you want me.
Seducing me is much like a period piece romance novel. There will be talk of proper courting and romantic gestures, things that our grandparents and those before them did. You may have no idea where to begin but honestly don’t let me scare you. I like anything, everything about relationships and want nothing more than to be in one. Before you approach me, the best way to start is being direct with both sensitivity and class.
This woman generally falls for a person who is strong on the outside and tenderhearted inside. I need a partner who is positive, protective, supportive and also thoughtful. But, I must confess, I may fall in love with you quite easily, depending on; and unfortunately, I must admit, some have taken advantage of that but would hope that my next love will be the one who makes things better.
A creative way to capture my loving heart is through good old fashioned love letters, no need for pages, a few good lines will due, either or, as long as your genuine emotion is at work. This is an easy way to “court” me. Maybe a quote, or even a short poem, but begin with something positive and uplifting and we'll move forward from there. As we move forward, give me honest tidbits of yourself, little thoughts or dreams of your own.
The idea of a clandestine love affair will excite and charm me while the secrecy intrigues me. You can either be a bit mysterious at first not letting me know it’s you or you could be a bit bold and reveal yourself. Either way, keep it as only something we both know.
As you work up to asking me out, remember that politeness goes a long away. If you see me, hold open the door for me and find a way to compliment me as you do so--being quite the gentleman--what woman doesn't desire one. Find out how I like my coffee and bring me a cup, please. If my birthday is coming up, bring me flowers. I would suggest a bouquet of exotic flowers, a variety, I admire radiant colors. By sweeping me off my feet and giving me a reason to fantasize, you have already positioned yourself in my mind. The unassuming romantic gestures, coupled with a polite and courteous manner will set us off on the perfect date and put us well on our way.
When thinking of where to take me on our date remember; this woman is very visual and very romantic. Be creative. Perhaps an art museum with a café? A local symphony practice outdoors (weather permitting of course) near some street food vendors...Maybe walking through a park, or near a lake might be better. As a water sign I am drawn to my element in the form of lakes, streams, beaches, shower etc. Where ever you choose try to accomplish something visually stimulating as well as quixotic. You want to be able to create an atmosphere where I can feel only you and I exist and provide a sense of comfort to lead to a pleasant conversation.
I want someone I can love immensely, that is educated and can hold a great conversation. I'm a talker and a dreamer. This woman wants someone who can speak unabashedly and dream vividly. Within our conversations feel free to be honest and candid, always. I want to know anything and everything about you: from your first heartbreak to your favorite fabric softener. Take the opportunity to show me your strengths and even share a few dreams. Make me think of you as a rock, a person who can ground me and support me. If you can stimulate my mind and get my heart to trust you, then you can definitely stimulate other places, and turn fantasies into realities.
I make love with my entire being. Will not have sex with someone who does not have my heart. For me, there is so much emotion behind it, a way of bonding. I view sex as the ultimate expression of love and it mirrors the relationship. Behind closed doors I'm physical and passionate. My sexual intensity though is balanced by my creativity. Don't mind a little role play from time to time and even a little bit of domination. I don't mind you being a tad firm and powerful with me. So you know if we happen to find ourselves in the shower one night, having fun while holding me against the wall is probably a damn good idea.
Keeping me is simple… continue as you were.
Always prefer the understated over the blunt and the unspoken over the obvious. If you used the love letters to seduce me, every now and then, send me another. Take me away to somewhere beautiful or help me attain a dream. Simple gestures mean more to me than expensive items. Your love and support or your ability to pull me back when I take on too much, will mean more to me than some trinket.
As the sensitive romantic type, I need a soul mate more than most. I crave a companion who is on the same level as I.
I need someone to understand how deeply I care for all that surrounds me and can share in my passions. My partner on some level must be like me; gentle and caring, sentimental and romantic but strong enough to ground and protect me. You may have had to dust off your romantic side but my whimsical nature and big heart makes it all worth it. And lastly, but most importantly, someone who loves God.
Now you know. ; )

Be Glad You are You:
Sure, we all have things we want to change, to improve about ourselves. But underneath the flesh and bone, you are an immortal and perfect soul. Always remember that.
God made you wonderfully and fearfully with His hands: why would you want to change what perfect creation God has made--He made you exactly as He saw fit, Perfectly! Be glad you are you!
God made you wonderfully and fearfully with His hands: why would you want to change what perfect creation God has made--He made you exactly as He saw fit, Perfectly! Be glad you are you!
Battle Wounds Are Sexy:
Simply letting them know I have no problem taking their lashes, because battle wounds are sexy.
Keep throwing those stones--I'm using them to get to the top! ; )
Keep throwing those stones--I'm using them to get to the top! ; )
Faith vs Regret:
Do you want to take a leap of faith, or would you rather die with regret?
Who wants/needs regret when you have all that life has to offer...
I'm taking that leap-many, and so should you! ; )
Who wants/needs regret when you have all that life has to offer...
I'm taking that leap-many, and so should you! ; )
In all ways, shapes and forms...
I'm still one of those women that long for a strong man to take care of me; in all ways, shapes and forms! No woman can take a place of a man, EVER! And no man can take a place of a woman, EVER! It's that simple! Call me old-fashion--traditional etc...that's my story and im sticking to it! =)

Giving It All You've Got!
Success is not only accomplished by merely having an education; because you can have all the education one could have and still have no knowledge nor understanding of what you are doing, who you are or will become. Success comes from giving, giving it all you've got with all that you know unselfishly.
Align your mind with your heart, and fail not!
