Here's Where I Stand

Many times in our life we put on different faces to please the people we love or want to love us. In the end when its just ourselves looking in the mirror, we stare at the image and try to see who is the real person behind those beautiful eyes, and many times the answer is, "I don't know", because we have taken so many forms so that people will like us.

But eventually we have to come to the realization that who we are is this person right here and now. Either you love me or you keep moving on in life. We only get one life, and why not live it for yourself. If the people who you call friends truly love you they will take you flaws in all.

I have many passions and one is music. If the lyrics speak to me you really win me over. This song spoke to me and made me realize that this is who I am take it or leave it. Some people left or I left them, because I was tired of pretending to be something I wasn't. Enjoy this song and reflect on it, and if you have time the movie is called "Camp".

Have a wonderful weekend and remember you are wonderful and truly blessed. Good things really do come to those who wait and keep positivity in their mind, heart, spirit and everyday life.

Love Always,

Tell fear to go away

A quick message before heading to bed.

Never give up on you! You are your biggest fan! If someone doubts you and your dreams, let them doubt, but do not let that discourage you from continuing your dreams. So many people let others negativity and fear come in the way of their dreams, and they pack their dreams away and place them on a shelf and forget about it.

I've been a victim of that. We all have, and we need to end that today.

When you begin to believe in you and keep that positive energy going on around you, others will pick up on it and will start believing in you.

Never give up or put your dreams to the side, do not let fear live in your mind or heart. Everyone has a season to shine, you just have to be patient and wait for it and keep believing and have faith in its existence.

I can't stop telling you how much I love you!

This week has been a sad one.

Several teens and young adults have committed suicide, because of being bullied or tormented. It truly breaks my heart. I guess I can to some extent relate to them. My high school years were the roughest and hardest. I was teased, tormented, made fun, hated. For no reason. I cried almost everyday, but I just kept praying that life would get better and it did.

I just wish there was more outlets for teens so they can have someone to talk to. A group where they can go and feel loved and cherished and know how beautiful and special they are. I remember when I was in High school there was sort of a group like that, that I was involved in and for 90 mins I felt like I belonged in that school.

I want to create a group for teens and young adults to feel they are loved and can express themselves. I want them to find another outlet maybe through music, writing, drawing instead of cutting and drinking and taking pills. I've known too many people who I love and loved dearly who found the latter part of my previous sentence as an outlet because they felt no one loved them and self-infliction was the only way they could feel something. I don't want that to be an outlet for others.

I am just praying to God, that he gives me an answer on how to start this program. I have others things I want to do and keep bouncing back and forth between my ideas, but I feel this needs to be done. We are losing love and gaining hate. We are so quick to judge someone because they are a little "quirky" or funny looking. We throw out hateful words quicker than we do words of love, kindness and reassurance.

I started this blog and post-it messages to let people see that someone does love them and we need to spread that word. LOVE its four letters but it packs a lot of force behind it.

So know this as you finish reading this blog. Whoever you are, wherever you are... I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, and I need you here in this life. Do not give up, do not let them win. You are never given more that you can endure. Through all the rain a rainbow eventually comes out of it, so endure the rain for the beauty that will come after it. Again I say, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU and want you to love your beautiful body you were give do not damage it with scars to feel some type of feeling, do not take your life because others do not like you, because there are more people out here in the world that LOVE You, some of us you haven't met yet. If anything take me with you in your heart along with God and know that you are loved beyond knowing.
