THE RAIN

Today was a rainy day. It rained basically all morning and afternoon. As i left for work the rain got heavier. While driving down the street i noticed several people walking in the rain. Some had umbrellas, some didnt. I thought to myself, wow,you have to be pretty darn motivated to walk somewhere in the pouring rain. As I rode pass some i could see their faces and the looks on their faces told me that they were on a MISSION and the rain was not going to stop them from reaching their destination! With or without protection from the harsh, cold rain and wind they persevered because they had TUNNEL VISION, seeing nothing in sight but the END. This really spoke to me regarding life. No matter what obstacles the journey may hold, getting to your final destination is what matters. PERSEVERE...

Life has a voice and it is speaking ....

Tonight I decided to clean up my apt...i mean really clean. Cracks, crevices, closet, just everything...lately, ive been feeling kind of blue...no particular reason just anticipating moving on to the next chapter of life and getting rid of " baggage." So I've let things get untidy...truth be told...nothing to hide...it happens right ? As I began to clean im thinking, wow this is alot...but as I finished I said to myself ( yes I do talk to myself from time to time lol)" I thought I would never get done with this from the way it looked but somehow, someway I got through it and It got done." It was like an AHA moment...That spoke to me...it reminded me of life....sometimes situations seem like it will never get better, you can't see the end of the tunnel, no light in sight bc of everything in the way blocking your vision BUT somehow, someway IT ALL GETS DONE!!!!

The beginning....

How  I began Blogging
This is quite interesting. I never thought about creating a blog until someone I know created one. After reading theirs I thought' " I could do the same!"  Besides, I love to read, write, express myself through many ways although I've gotten away from it over the years. I used to win awards for public speaking, short stories etc. I was the "it" person when it came to speaking in front of audiences, editing papers, writing...anything that dealt with words. Well they say " if you dont use it, you lose it" and I must say that the lack of cultivating my gift has caused it to die a little.....BUT I must awaken that which is in me!!! LOL
