Keep It Sybil

There are only a few things in life that I truly do not like. One of those things is when people do not want to take responsibility for the wholeness of their actions. Someone once told me that excuses are tools of the devil because you are lying to yourself instead of taking responsibility. An excuse is usually given to try and keep the reaction to your actions from being a bad or negative one. This truly irks me. The only reason this bothers me us because people are always so willing to jump up and receive accolades for their good deeds but then when there is a spotlight on something they did wrong these same people get indignant and act as though they are infallible. Because of these thoughts I have a hard time with one word in particular--deserve! In general I am a very good person. I am more likely to look out for others before myself. I am a Christian that is working on my walk with Jesus and I am not selfish or stingy. Now all of that said, I have not always been the...

I have been feeling so very anxious over the past few days.  I know the reason is because in two weeks I will no longer be just me.  Then there were two!  Having this information made me think about the end and how it always turns into a new beginning.

Nothing changed except the fact that if you had to tell someone how to find you, you would have to give then a different street name than you originally would have.  This is exactly how I feel.

I am not a loner or alone.  However, with the blink of an eye and the recitation of a few words, Misses Lane will turn into ex Misses Lane.  I won't turn or do anything else to get onto this road.  So this is ...

All over social media everyone is saying goodbye 2012 and hello 2013.  I know that there is a lot to say about leaving the past behind and moving forward with what ever is happening presently.  However, I also understand, thanks in part ot Dr. Phil, but mostly due to me living my own life, the past is a good indicator of the future.  Some of the time we have to really examine the past before we are able to make ourselves 100% available to the current opportunities in our lives. Now, examining the past is a completely different thing from living in the past.  Please don't get these two confused because believe me, that will leave you completely confused also.  So just to clarify a little I am going to explain the difference.  There was a time in my life that I had my finger on the pulse of what was happening in my city.  I could pick up the phone and make a call if I needed to know which one of the clubs was going to be the hottest for any given night...
