Goodbye 2009!!!

It's time to say goodbye to this year...2009!!! Yep, we are a few days from welcoming in the new year. With this new year comes new opporunities, new friends, new adventures, and new motivation. I wish everyone blessings as they further themselves in life each and every single brand new day. I hope that you have learned from this year and will only take the positive into tomorrow.

I sure do hope so because I'm going to go into the new year (and out of this one) feeling fabulous!!! I only have plans for my new year to be amazing...way beyond anything I've ever experienced!!!

FESTIVITIES!!!!

Hello, everyone...it's that time of year isn't it ? I am glad to say that the year is about over...but I am glad that it went the way it did. Although there were rough patches and times where life seemed impossible...things truly have turned around for the better. I've been swamped with school and finals this fall but I've found it all to be worth it...the rewards taste sweeter than your grandmama's sweet potatoe pie on Christmas Day!!! Just a litter humor for my blog family. Have a wonderful holiday!!!!

p.s. Look at Frosty peeking out from behind the scenery :)

Human Rights Day

Today is Human Rights Day. This is the one day taken out of the year to recognize the injustices that occur all over the world all year long. Today marks to Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which came into existence on December 10, 1948. But I am not here to give you a historical synopsis I am here to speak the truth. I type in red to represent the blood of many people. There are millions of people who's lives are destroyed because they are not free. We say we are free, but what about the women in Zimbabwe who are raped and beaten. What about the women of Iran and Afghanistan who don't have the liberty to go to school and live their lives in peace, in any way that they choose. Yes, what about the millions of people around the world that are not being the opportunity to choose life for themselves...but are being told how they must live. What about truth ? I don't have all of the answers but I do know this...each of us can do something about it. We can speak out on what needs to change and we can change it by taking action!!! Send letters, contact government officials, make the public aware of what is going on. Let's not just sit in our lovely homes and pretend that the rest of the world does not exist, because it does. You see everytime we close our eyes to the truth, we are aiding to the terror that exists in the lives of many on a daily basis. We have blood on our hands....

Not Mine...But this Is.

Lately, I have been having these dreams. I dream that I am being chased or watched by the abuser. Normally I would say "my abuser", but the thing is I really want to let this go. I no longer will lay claim to this man as "my abuser", for he was not, never was, and never will be. I work on reclaiming my life and making it what I dream to be. Mostly, I just wish I wasn't dreaming about him. My nights are unrestful to the point that I don't even want to go to sleep sometimes. I rather stay up than have to face him all over again. But I am not weak. Alot of women and men who have been in abusive relationships, deal with feelings of guilt and maybe even worthlessness after leaving. As for me I know within my own thoughts that I am worthy of someone both loving, kind, and smart. Yet, I haven't really brought this thought into actual existence. Instead, I daydream of the day when I am ready to have someone in my life. After all it's my life, and I'm still trying to make sense of it. Since my life is mine, I accept that as a fact, and it can't be taken away. Alot of times I fear that someone will come and steal it away from me. But for me to fear the unknown isn't helping me to grow or heal. So as I continue to move on I will no longer say that the abuser is mine, because he abused others. He took a piece from so many other's lives not just mine. But this life that I live is mine.
