The Ups and The Downs
Hello Peeps!
It's nearing the end of March and for the past few days, I've been wondering what in the world am I going to write.
I can honestly say, this month worked out pretty well. I COMMITTED to myself to wake up every day and MOVE. Work out, eat something good. And I kept it up for a while.... until I got sick. Some of my sick days I did manage to still get up and move, which did make me feel better while other days my body was just straight week.
BUT in those days of eating well and moving my body, I managed to lose 4 lbs. I was too geeked! After my cold passed, my headaches started.
If you know me, or if you'd like to, I've been having really bad headaches for over a year now. These headaches make me nauseous, groggy, dizzy, and make me feel just plain ole TERRIBLE! Some days, I stayed in bed, no computer with the TV on super low. Other days I just wanted to cry. In my staying in bed and doing nothingness I gained back those 4 lbs plus some. WHOMP WHOMP WHOOOOOOOMP!!!!
Seeing that my work is done on the computer, I'd just do what needed to be done and then shut it down. I hate this feeling. So I finally broke down and made a doctors appointment which was today (3/25). My doctor wants me to see an ophthalmologist (eyes) and a neurologist (brain). Sounds scary but it needs to be done.
It is my desire and my prayer to become a healthier me. Spiritually, Mentally and Physically! I think I say that every post but it's what I NEED! Will y'all pray with and for a sister!

If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting, but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything.

The biggest human temptation is to settle for too little.

CommitmentPhobia; It's a real thing
Albert Einstein defines Insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
Now as I have stated in my previous post, I'm a commitment-phobe. I believe the only things I have committed to are Graphic Design, Choir, and Praise Dancing. I'm trying, I really am.
I want to do so much in life. I want to succeed in things I am passionate about, I want to live a healthier lifestyle, I want to be a good person. I want to live and love myself and others without regrets, and I want to accept and grow from my mistakes without being so critical of myself because I AM MY OWN BIGGEST CRITIC.

In other news...
This weekend, my aunt, sister, cousins and myself had our annual Girl's Weekend. Though we were, a couple bodies short, we gained a couple new ones. It was quite enjoyable. It felt good just to be around them and laugh, shop, talk and cook. I like cooking (hate doing dishes though). It felt awesome being together, unfiltered and uninterrupted (expect a certain someone having to go to work Saturday Morning.) Good times, good stuff. Love those ladies.
Anywho. Later Loves,
Until Next Time

“I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going to be with me and I don't want to spend my life with someone who is always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It's high time that I accept all the great things about me.”― C. JoyBell C.
That is my goal for this month (until my next post & beyond,) not being so critical of myself. As I look for employment, knowing that I am good enough, knowing that I CAN make things happen and continuing to put myself out there even after hearing NO or no reply at all.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:13
Some may say that the scripture is cliche but its true and I believe the Bible to Be the Inspired and Only Infallible Written Word of God.____________________________________________________________

Let's Be Honest....2014
Hello Loves!!
I put myself up to a challenge to blog once a month in 2014 on New Years Day. I even set an alarm for the 15th of every month to do so. Seeing that today is the 30th of January, I am very unreliable to myself.
This year I will begin by admitting some things to myself and with doing so, hopefully I can change them for nothing but the better.
1. I have a commitment issue.
I can always begin things but I have a hard time sticking around to see results.
2. I'm an introvert.
Merriam-Webster defines an introvert as : a shy person : a quiet person who does not find it easy to talk to other people... Quiet people have the loudest minds.
3. Being an introvert, I am very soft-spoken.
Being soft-spoken doesn't get you heard or recognized and it gets nothing done.
4. I underestimate myself way too much.
Mentally and some of the time physically I know I can do certain things but somewhere and somehow self doubt creeps in and I lose site of the potential goal.
5. I have a huge fear of failure.
I don't understand. This coincides with number one and number four. Sometimes I don't even put myself into positions where I will have the potential to fail.
So with this being said, it is my goal to seriously better myself in 2014!!! I hope you'll be on my team because I think I'll need a good team of encouragers.
Later!!!
