Yellow brick road

Alright, my life has taken an unexpected turn in the past couple of months. So much has happened I am not even sure where the turn was or if it was for the good or the bad. I am reminded that in order to get to the other side of anything that you must go through first. That means there is a beginning, a middle and an end.

The beginnings would be that I have gained a completely new understanding of myself. In the past I didn't mind being alone. In fact I loved to spend time by myself. This wasn't because I was comfortable with myself but that I was so incredibly uncomfortable with other people. Now that I am older I spend time with myself and truly enjoy the person I am. Now that I am comfortable with myself, I am fine with being around others. I want to be around other people now but the years I have spent alone hasn't taught me how to become friendly with others. I am dealing with this issue though so I am able to socialize with any type of person. I am turning this around.

As for the middle; I am in the middle of dealing with the loss of what to me was a great friendship. This isn't the first great friendship that has ended in my life but that is part of the issue. Because it was basically the end of a long term friendship I am having to figure out if there is someone else that I can share the parts of my life with that I have almost exclusively reserved for that person. I know in my heart that I will always reserve a special place for that person but when the respect is gone and things have been said or things have been refrained from being said then the end is the only avenue that is left. I will let time lead this to its end. A heart needs a little time to heal and I am going to allow that to happen. R.I.P friendship.

Self doubt/hate is over. These things have come to an end. I have to believe in the talent that God gave me. He also tells us that we don't have to make room for our gift but our gift will make room for us. That means that what the Lord has ordained in me will be done in His name and the correct roads will be available to me.

This being said, everything works to the good so even if some of my situations may seem to be a negative one there is always a positive that can be found. I am on a constant search for the positive and I do a pretty good job of keeping that focus. I encourage all of my friends and family to do the same and search for the positivity.

Whitney already told you

 Today I just knew that I needed to write a post.  Sometimes I know what I am going to write before I start, and then other times, I'm just winging it. There are plenty of things on my mind and I still don't know what my topic of the day will be. That is until I know what it is going to be. I look at the people in my life every day.  No, not physically but logically and some of the time emotionally. I come to the same realization every time.  First off, there is no such thing as coincidence, in my opinion. I believe that the family you are born into is based on many things, but it is never a mistake.  When you meet your friends, lovers and others, it is for a divine reason.  All things work for the good.  Not some of the time; all of the time. Now let me be clear, two things can and are usually true at the same time.  You can have a happy life and feel joy while still feeling sad over certain situations. The reverse can also be true where in you f...

Cafe Bustelo with a little cream

 I don't even think there is a phrase that describes the feeling that I currently have about my life.  It has been approximately, a year and a half since I have last shared.  The truth is that I have barely even written anything beyond a text message in that time.  For a while I called it writer's block but now, I know that is not a true assessment. The truth is more emotion and far-reaching than that would connote. When last we spoke I believe I was legally ending the worse chapters of my life.  Now, this is not to say that some good times were not had in that more than decade of my life, but the bad times definitely outweighed the good ones.  The lessons were a multitude with nary a time to rest really.  I am good with the knowledge of this at this point.  There has to be bad in order to enjoy the good; the night must fall in order for the sun to rise; there would be no way to turn left if you didn't have the option of turning right.  You g...

True Confession!

I have a confession to make. It's funny because telling a secret or making a confession is a very hard thing yet once it's done that weight has been lifted and you feel a little lighter. That being said confession is just good for the soul. I know that the devil is trying his best to keep me from obtaining my destiny and this confession is getting ready to shame him because he is a liar and he will not kill or destroy me. I am taking back the power I gave him in this situation. I just had a birthday and I turned 36. I love when my birthday comes around. This year was no difference. Actually, it was a lot better than it has been in years. Partially because I spent my day getting to know a new person in my life but mostly because I have been getting to know myself. This is my real-life confession. I didn't begin to feel good about myself until I was in my 30's--I was around 32 actually. I had the most negative self-talk a person could have. My self-esteem and self-imag...
