22-12-2009 - NEW YEAR,NEW ATTITUDE

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

2010 is coming fast...with that being said, it is time to sweep the old old and usher in the new. That means time for healing(old hurts) and dealing with (new realities) See, a lot of us have been dealing with things from the past & have not even stopped to realize how fast, time is passing us by. Don't let those old hurts anchor you to a life you don't want!

Believe me I have dealt with it all...

• Mom issues
• Post Partum
• Family issues
• Personal Crisis
• Illness
• Financial

These things are hard, if not catastrophic in dealing with them depending on your emotional state. I'm here to tell you, that you can make it through. Even if that means cutting your loses and beginging anew.Trust me I know its not always easy to leave the familiar.

Invest in you! If you don't who will?

A little something each day will bring you closer to your goals. Before you know it...you have grown into a whole new creature. I plan on doing just that.

Don't let ANYBODY tell you that you are just"something"

A "friend" once said to me "maybe that is just what you are supposed to be." (like I couldn't possibly qualify for having dreams, goals and other life aspirations) I kept my cool girls, I didn't curse her to high heaven. Is that all she thought of me? That having my children would my greatest accomplishment? She almost sounded as if she had pity for me. I don't pity me! I damn sure don't want anyone else to either!

Yes, I will be the first to admit... My children are my loves, joys and the center of my life. I cherish my role in their lives. They are a gift given through me, to the world from God. I do my very best to nourish and care for their minds, bodies and spirits.

However, I was a solo human being before their births. Somewhere along the way, I put them before me. Every parent has done it by choice or by force. No need to feel guilty. I just have to stop myself sometimes and realize...I need to nurture and care for my mind body and spirit as well or there will be nothing left for them. Nothing, for them to measure and go beyond in their formative and adult years. People are quick to tell you old wives tales, but not how to keep from getting lost in the sauce as some say.

So, I am taking steps to taking me back! (I'm still someone's sister,friend,daughter and lover and of course fab mother) However, I'm improving myself when and where I can. I know, I am a strong woman, but apparently my ROAR is a little bit rusty. I'm going to fix that...because no matter what! It's my baby ducks and I against the world! (papa ducks can fend for themselves LOL)

Good luck on your journey and wish me luck on mine!
