What’s REALLY on Your Mind?!!

The 5Ws and H of writing often extend themselves into our personal lives. If you need a refresher that would be who, what, where, when, why and how.

We’re always searching and reaching for what we are “supposed” to be doing. What is our purpose in life, how do we get there, who should we be networking with, why has our life taken its current direction. If we don’t trust our own selves and our ability to make and move ourselves in the proper direction then there are two other very viable resources that we often overlook.

God and our close friends….

I’ll leave the preaching for another time, yet some of us know the still small voice is always there. We just aren’t listening.

In the meantime…

Our closest friends and people around us be it virtual or IRL often see potential in us that we don’t see. This morning I was talking with my very good friend Erika, and we were discussing what our next steps would be and she mentioned to me something that she always saw me doing. Something that I can say I have considered but hearing her say it almost solidified it for me that it was a direction that I needed to be moving in.

Sad to say sometimes other people are more in tune with our talents than we are. We can be so critical and at times so sure of ourselves that we miss the most brilliant and equally unattractive things about our own being.

With that being said, there is a thin line between being what people think you should be and who you really are, and finding medium ground is key. However, I always find it interesting to hear what other people think of me and their criticisms be it good or bad.

I’m just curious what do you think of me based on what you “know”? When was the last time you opened yourself up to someone else’s thoughts of you? We’re talking the good and bad here..Let’s go!

I’m 33!!!!!

Today is my birthday!! *Throws confetti and twirls*

I am 33 today. I remember a day when I thought this number would mean I was old but I couldn’t feel younger.

I am so thankful for my journey. At times it  has broken me down, slapped me around, picked me up and clotheslined me….but I made it! 33 years and I’m still standing.

That being said I gets in on my birthday. Tonight the party festivities commence. Pictures will be plentiful

Thank you all for following me on this journey called life. I tell you all the time I appreciate you and I truly do.

I’ll do my dance sometime this weekend, but last year’s performance will have to hold you over for now!!

Can I Be a Hypocrite?

I just finished catching up on my Google Reader and I have noticed that I comment on a ton of blogs that don’t follow me, or have never even stopped by to comment..not.once.

Quiana over at Harlem Lovebirds did a post here…that got me thinking about folks who read and never comment.

So I’m a hypocrite. I get in these moods, I’m in one now and since I have to blog everyday you get to witness it first hand. Yes, I have blogged and Twitter ranted about not caring about if people follow me or comment and/or either but TODAY I’m peeved.

See, if you’ve been around the blog block you know there are circles and you will see people on the regular. So, if I see you commenting on other people’s blogs then I know you’ve seen me on your blog but you don’t even stop by…To defend my hypocrisy I follow a ton of blogs and never comment but if they stop by HERE I’m going to find my way over there every now and then to comment. Quietly I read everyone’s blog who follows me…not everyday but when I do, I may read 10 posts at a time. If I’m not at least following you let me know. I don’t comment like I should that would be the hypocrisy busy’ness that is my life…but still. Y’all get where I’m headed? Maybe the food has me delusional. Maybe my content isn’t their cup of tea, but when we blog about the same thing. Oh?

Maybe they just don’t like me. I care today, but I assure you I won’t care tomorrow.

Do you get in your blog feelings this way from time to time…You know women are emotional creatures. Do share and if you’ve been lurking now is the time to show your face. I’m vulnerable and need virtual hugs!
