Missing Snuggles Part 2

Hey Dolls,

 It seems like forever to not have my wet nose, tail wagging pal, jumping up and down at the sound of my voice or the moment I step into the room. I know she is better off not suffering, but can I be honest for a moment?  I would give anything to feel her affection right now. I miss her to pieces. People are telling me I should get another dog, but in my heart I am done getting more dogs, I cant take having to deal with this situation again. Although I still have my other dog Spud, its really not the same. Spud has even been looking around the house for her, I am sure he is like where is she? She would often hide under my bed to keep him from messing with her. WOW, those were the good old days. I must admit its getting better with days and I'm sure I would at least be able to pack up her things without breaking down... again. I cant even sleep...Whewwww, this is tuff. So please continue to pray for my healing of a broken heart. Enjoy another picture of my baby, Snuggles

P.S. I LOVE SNUGGLES

Missing Snuggles Part 1

Hey Dolls,

I must admit that this weekend was the most devastating for me. Am not sure how I want to feel, on one hand I never want to be selfish and keep my baby/dog here on earth and allow her to suffer and on the other hand, part of me wants to feel her love forever. I lost the one thing that offers me unconditional love, even when I discipline her she continues to greet me with a nice wet kiss. I lost my toy poodle, Snuggles on Sunday, October 26, 2014. This dog has given me some of the greatest years of my life. I could always depend on her love and affection. For all the dog owners, you know exactly how I am feeling. My heart is filled with tears. I am very grateful to have spent the last 9 years and 7 months with such a wonderful dog. Words cant even describe the moments of thoughts knowing she has left me. I just keep seeing her little face, her wagging tail, and hearing her barks. This love I have for Snuggles would never be replaced, her love lives in my heart forever. I love you Snuggles.

Shout it Out...Love to Love

Happy Friday Beautiful Dolls,

Today I'm going to keep it rather short, NOT. I want you to take some time out to "Shout Out" to the people who matters the most. I want to shout out to my wonderful husband, who truly loves me unconditionally. For he allows me to be me and offer guidance through patience and love. Shout out to my mom, who just graduated from receiving her health and sanitation license. This woman has sacrificed so much for the good of everyone else, it was an overwhelming experience to see her do something that benefited her for a chance. Shout out to one of the best friends a girl could ever have, Raquel, has been my sister since 1996 and the journey of our ship is well beyond friends. She too, accepts me for where I have come from to who I am today. I only wish and pray for the best to come her way. Shout out to Rhonda, who is another friend GOD has blessed me with. Although we may have had time and space amongst us over the years, it has only allowed us to know that having each other apart of our lives matters. I am excited to see what the future holds for us as friends. Shout out to my sisters and brothers, you all means so much to me, I am so proud to be your sibling. I promise to continue to seek out an everlasting relationship and be a better auntie. Shout out to my dad, who finally gets it...I just want him in my life. He has allowed me to love on him and accept him for who he is. Shout out to my all my en laws, who has my heart and best interest. We are growing as a family and I could not had asked for a better family. Shout out to my son, Jason I promise we will get it right, and I will reach out more and spend a bit more time ( even if you think your grown). Shout out to my family, I promise to pray and love a little harder. Although we all may not see eye-to-eye we must learn to agree to disagree. Life gives us different experiences, and we have to learn to accept the person for who they are but treat them to who GOD has called them to be. Although we me not see it, its not for us to judge just pray. Shout out to my church family, lets continue to fight toward the mark, stay in the journey of becoming who GOD has called each of us to be. Its not the easiest task trying to break barriers and believe when life throws you a curve ball. Remember, Its already done.  Pastor and Lady Amanda, keep going and don't give up, for GOD has called you both to lend and provide the people with correction, reproofing, and LOVE. You must walk toward all the promises and not run, for the blessings and winning are not giving to the swift but the ones who endure.  So if you have those special people in your life, let them know how much they mean to you, let them know that they matter. Days are not promised and nights may come and go, but LOVE is what is left behind. Go out our way to express the love that you commanded to give away. Who will you love today?

P.S. I LOVE TO LOVE

A Change is Gonna Come.

Happy Wise Wednesday,

As the season is changing from summer to fall, everything has its moments in the world where they change as well. Are you alive? What makes you alive? Words from the wise, everything that is full of life, lives to change, and everything that changes is alive. For change isn't a mystery,  although we like to think it is, or we like to prevent it from happening. As longs as your living you will change, physically (for sure) and with the moments of experiences you will change emotionally as well. Also, when your moving toward a goal the characteristics of the goal may change if you combine it with reality. We all will unveil our faces, hold on to what we believe in, and be transformed into the same characteristics of the goals we will obtain. In life we must allow the truth to change our minds and hearts to be servants to one another. Embrace your transforming its the very thing that moves images into reality. In the words of Sam Cooke, A Change is Gonna Come. Wow, this was my granny's favorite song...miss her dearly....

P.S. I LOVE A CHANGE

Hmmmm

Hmmm Friday Dolls,

This has been a trying week for me. I am not sure about you all, but my head hurts, feet are sore, and I could use a hot bath and warm tea. One thing I have noticed this week is for some people your best just isn't good enough. In these moments, you have to learn to encourage yourself. You have to work hard to get to a place where you are confident in what your doing in all facets of your life. The best way to build confidence is to seek education, gain exposure, and develop through experiences. Adhering to this will always rise you above all the distorted views of others and build self-awareness which leads to confidence. Its very important to fear not, don't become dismayed, and believe in what you have been called to do. For this season will only build stamina to overcome and surpass all understandings. Don't allow other people's short comings  interfere with your victories, for this world is an envious place. You were built to do this.... Forgive them, for they do not know. Hug them, for they may need one. Love them, for they may never experience what is true. Encourage them, for they may be having a hmm week too. Things to make you go hmmm.

P.S. I LOVE TO HMMM

Truth Moment.

Happy True Tuesday Dolls,

I think it is time to have a truth moment with yourself. Although people who apart of our lives influences our thoughts and decision making, you are still in control. No matter what the situation is you are responsible for you. If you are in school your grades are a reflection of your character; if you have a job, your promotions and accolades are reflections of your work ethic, if your are doing either its a reflection of character and work ethic. Often times people think self-esteem has to do with your physical appearance, but it also speaks to how you respect and value yourself. You should value yourself enough to walk the journey to experience the promise. Its time to turn up for you. Choose choices to move you forward, listen to conversations to filter the endurance, and keep the company that will hold you accountable. Not only should you obtain, but press on to make it happen on your own. Do not settle or consider waiting for others to bless you, but believe and press toward the goal, for the prize is greater than you can imagine.  Allow your moment of truth fuel your movement of truth.

P.S. I LOVE A TRUTH MOMENT

Blessed are the Peacemakers

Happy tone it down Tuesday Dolls,

I know I am the first to motivate you all to push and run with your endeavors. This weekend really taught me to learn the art of blocking all things out and focusing on peace and silence. I guess what I am trying to say is, days are filled with all sorts of busy items, sounds and missions. Being able to bring everything to a halt and focus on peace is a progression. I vote start with 5 minutes at a time and build until you get to at least 20 to 25 minutes in one sitting. Have you ever woke up and swore you feel as if you never went to sleep. This happens when you have allowed constant movement to become your norm, and when its time to settle down and rest you body has to fight to become submitted to silence and peace. Some people never experience moments of rest. I know you can name a few people to says " I have to have my radio or TV on to go to sleep". BINGO!!! True rest allows the mind to cast all its anxieties, frustrations, and worries to be submitted unto what brings forth peace. For this is the only thing to bring us to perfect peace. Blessed are the peacemakers, blessed are those who are filled with believing in peace. Lets make a conscience effort to turn away from evil and do good, and pursue peace. Taking those moments throughout the day will do your heart well.

P.S. I LOVE PEACE

It was all a dream.

Hey Dolls,

Well its Friday! My, my, my, is all I can say. I not sure about you, but I plan on taking a wellness break this weekend. Sometimes being tied down to something that fuels a dream can be the very thing to distract you from reaching greatness in the dream. I am learning to not allow other peoples frustrations and anxiety become mines. Be careful of who you allow to peep into your dreams, they tend to think they know it better than you. Before taking advice from them assure they are offering you the reproach in the right spirit. Assure they are able to manage their own dreams, before they can comment on yours. Stay in a place of receiving your noble task and not because you are lover of money. Walk in a place of humility and embrace the education that comes along with the dream. Embrace the misfortune that has made the journey difficult. All of this builds you to a place where it governs you to genius. Be found living and active. Without it who are you and what were you sent here to do. Dreams are meant to give you fortunate and hope. Allow the dream to take over your thoughts, gestures, personality, and short-comings. Dreams are only imagination waiting to take form. Are you forming a dream or imagining it.

P.S. I LOVE TO FORM MY DREAM
