"Defeat may test you; it need not stop you. If at first you don't succeed, try another way. For every obstacle there is a solution. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The greatest mistake is giving up." - Anon

Push past the point at which you want to give up. The darkest moment is before the dawn. You cannot break through to a new life if you are not willing to fully commit to your outcome. See all that happens as happening for your best interest. Once you have asked for something it shall be yours, and so will all the blocks that currently exist that are in the way of what you want. These blocks are not there to make you stop, but to make you stronger, wiser and better able to navigate the challenges of life. Keep the desire burning strong within you to achieve your goal. Desire is the predecessor of manifestation. Then throw yourself into action. Throw yourself into your dream's pursuit. The darkness will come... and it is at THAT moment that you will shine brightest - FROM WITHIN.

happy monday!

:) grateful for another day!

2011 where ya at?

the new year is quickly approaching. ohmygosh! already?

what things will you do differently in 2011?

what are your resolutions or goals?

it is sooooooooo very easy to set a goal or make a resolution, but the difficult part is actually maintaining those goals and resolutions throughout the remainder of the year. every year, we hear the same thing..."oh this year, i'm really gonna stick to it...no really, i am"...blah blah blah. i'm guilty of this too. but, this year...lets mix it up a little...do it a lil' different...go hard or go home! make it happen! you and i can accomplish whatever it is our little hearts desire. so, this year if you make any goals or resolutions...really try to make them happen. just make those resolutions before you start popping champagne. ha-ha. be realistic, sometimes alcohol tends make us believe in any and everything. don't follow jamie foxx and blame it on the a-a-alcohol...drink (your choice of beverage), be merry and get that midnight kiss. muahhhhh!!!

bye bye 2010, bring it on 2011 :)

my 2011 remix is...

be a better...friend, sister, daughter, christian, runner, employee, blogger, etc.

overall, just grow and strive to be a better me!

i wish each and one of you lovely ladies a very happy new year!

be safe and see ya next year!

day 13: 30 day blog challenge

we interrupt your regularly scheduled program...

hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! i did! on Saturday morning, i ran in my first eva 5k. i'm pretty darn proud of myself! it was sooooo cold, but thanks to my bff "iPOD" i kept going to the finish line. and, guess what??? this weekend is my second 5k! yeah, my new motto is JUST DO IT! {like Nike} ;) after the race, i volunteered for the Special Olympics Fall event. i forgot how much fun it is to volunteer. i never been called beautiful so many times! lol despite being tired from my race, i volunteered till about eight Saturday night. yesterday, i attended church with a friend of mine and it was...words can't describe how touched i was, sitting there, taking it all in. i let every word preached soak in. its funny how when you don't attend church for a while and then you attend a service, the sermon feels like its just for you! like, He knew you were coming and knew the words you needed to hear. that's how i felt yesterday. i'll defiantly be going back! also, i made a hard decision yesterday. it was a tough and i want that person to know, its not what i wanted to do. but, i just feel like i had no other choice. when you love someone you want all of them, not just part of them. i just pray the if its in God's will, that someday He will bring this person back in my life. on a lighter note, i'm on a positive streak ya'll...i'm kickin' out all the negative in my life! i don't mean kickin' negative people out of my life, but the negative thoughts or actions. right now, i'm trying to focus on being a positive me and grow as a better person. 2011 is going to be a great year! yes, i'm already thinking about the new year! hopefully, i'll be getting a new position at work. cross your fingers and pray for me please! along with that, i'll be getting my own place! its amazing how, when you change your thoughts...your feelings change too. i've been reading this book called "the secret"...it has opened my eyes like whoa! i highly recommend everyone to read it! anyways, that's that...now back to the 30 day blog challenge.
