Truth or Dare:

I DARE you to:

Be mindful of your emotions

The TRUTH is:

Our emotions have a funny way of showing themselves. Sometimes they can convey a sense of happiness or peace.  Other times they can make us angry or confused.  However, it is what we do with the emotions that we feel, that leaves the lasting impression.  Today I let my emotions get the best of me with someone I consider a great friend ,and one who I appreciate so much because of who they are.  This isn't the first time I have had this to happen but I am sure hoping that it is the last. Instead of taking a step back and looking at the situation full circle, I allowed my thoughts and emotions to dictate my actions and words towards this person. This is a personal truth for me in that under normal circumstances I am slow to act, however today wasn't the day and in retrospect I probably looked crazy with my reaction. When you are a person like me that sometimes carries around so much weight from jobs, people, and personal issues you can reach a breaking point.  That does not give you an excuse to do what you want and say what you feel. However we have to find ways to deal with our emotions in a healthy way.  So I got back to my roots, treated myself to a movie and ice cream, did a little writing and I came to the conclusion that if I had just taken some time for myself I could have avoided an emotional blow up.  Remember if you don't take care of you and deal with yourself how can you benefit others?  Peace comes from within........

The story behind this short film is what makes this so much more important to watch.  Its good to see that there are commonalities among us all......we all cry, hurt, laugh, and live.  I salute the director,  Ava DuVernay for being history in the making!

Confession................

I just realized today that I am not fully using my creativity.  I love that feeling of knowing that you are creating something all on your own.  I need to figure out how to get it back.  Let me apologize to myself "sorry creative being from within, I have been neglecting you and that is not fair......I promise from this day forward that we will accomplish something amazing mmmmmkay.........love ya"! - Lo-la-love

Fragrances That I Love!!!

I’m a little obsessed with perfumes and this is one that I absolutely love and just discovered. It’s called Dahlia Noir by Givenchy its light but also makes a statement like “mmmm she smell good”, whenever you pass someone! Love it!

it's easy to give up, but its hard to fake a feeling of accomplishment and nothing is better than that

Truth or Dare:

I DARE you to:

Stop and smell the flowers........

The TRUTH is: 

We all have so much going on in our lives.  Whether it is school, work, jobs, relationship, financial issues, deaths, that we can get so caught up in what is going on internally.  However we are so inwardly focused that we miss the things that can bring us out of our situations.  I have been struggling with where I am in my life and where I want to be.  I would come home, shut out the world and just be alone.  Finally I said this is not healthy, I need to appreciate what is around me.  My life could always be worst but I need to celebrate what I have and embrace the wonderfulness around me.  Sometimes we just have to take a moment out, breathe, and smell the flowers around you.  Find the beauty in the world and remember how important your life is! You can't enjoy it if you are locked in a room or by yourself shut off from the world.

This is beyond words, it is amazing what true and real love can overcome :)
