an abundance of THANKS.

I continue to over flow with gratitude & thanks. My Lord has continued to bless me with the most amazing things that blow my mind. From Family to Friends to a New Jobs, I give him all my praises. Its never about me, always about him. I did not take those 2 steps this morning on my own. I had a 1 on 1 conversation with my pastor a few weeks back and it opened my eyes to what was going on in my life, the negative things I was once questioning that seemed to have been happening I now know there purpose and I welcome them.

AMAZING

I am truly amazed at how fast this year has gone. Just months away from 2012. Each and every single day is such a blessing. I am learning more and more about the person I am becoming. Even more people have been deleted from my life, even some family. Just because I love you doesn't mean I have to like you. If someone is not beneficial to me I do not need them, I need to be surrounded by people who uplift me and bring a smile to my face. I have learned what it means to be in-love again and goodness does it feel good. I am blown away by the love given.

another month & some of crazieness...

thank you Lord for getting me threw another hard work week & allowing me to wake up this morning, I GIVE ALL GLORY & PRAISE TO YOU! Wow so much has happened since my last post, my work week has changed & my weekends consist of Sunday & Monday. which I actually prefer. It gives me the chance to get out & do things on a quiet Monday when everyone else is at work. I always did LOVE having a work week day off. Close to a month ago I had to go in for emergency surgery which was the scare of my life, I have been feeling something was wrong since I was in So. Cal but once again I put my own health to the side & was caring for everyone but myself. Well the Lord woke me up & made realize I must first care for myself before I care for others. I have the most amazing family [friends] who were there to help me get better so I was able to get myself back to work quickly. I am not 1 who enjoys doing nothing so to be back to work so quickly was exactly what I did. I still didn't get away yet for some much needed me time, but that's coming next week, taking an extra day & going to see my favorite lil cousin. Can't wait to just get in my car & drive. I am off to church & then another child's birthday party. I really wish my friends would stop having kids. lol. My Monday will be filled with hands/feet/brows appoint in the morning, then off for an oil change & then a massage. I actually have a date also. Kinda weird but looking forward to it & of course it's not a stranger. Someone I grew up with... Kind of odd. lol. Stay Blessed.

fast, faster, fastest...

why does it seem that when monday comes it was just friday? i can't wait till mid july when i have no plans on the weekends & can simply sleep in & rest. cause these weekends full of things makes me literally feel as if i had no weekend. i believe another long weekend get away is much needed. him & i need some US time.

it's not slowing down...

my days seem to fall into each other... i literally have to look at my iPhone to see which day of the week it is. no complaints here because being busy is what i love. the next month is full of lots of work & plenty of fun. exactly how a full summer should be. heading out of town for an engagement party soon, then my god son's blessing weekend followed by his 1st birthday the following weekend & then blues fest weekend. this is only threw june, i don't even want to think any further then that. xoxo

BUSY/BUSY/BUSY

it seems once new years comes the rest flies by... until May then thankfully things slow down till the fall... I had an amazing 30th birthday that seemed to go on for a month, with days spent with my mama, then nights with friends. Lunches, Dinners & Drinks. I believe it has finally all come to an end...
My favorite christian holiday just pasted & again it was a beautiful 1. As much as I hate early mornings I was up & at sunrise 6am service on time. (lol). For some reason I have no problem getting to church on time even if it's at 6am. Breakfast with my church family was nice & then home to get dressed for 10:45 service. I love getting all dolled up. I am very much a very girly girl. & getting in a dress & heels always makes me feel like the ultimate lady. I got the sweetest comments from everyone on my style.
The only thing I can say I am disappointed with at this point is that HWY 1 south is closed due to the road giving way. I was looking forward to weekends spent down at the river in the next few weeks. Just hoping the road work gets done quicker then later.

Fabulous @ 30!

6 days ago was my 30th birthday & it was amazing. I would be lying if I said it hadn't come quick cause it did. I can remember my 18th & 21st as if they were just a year or 2 ago so when it came to turning 30 I kept asking how did this happen.
I began the day with my mama & NoNo with an early lunch. Then mama & I went & did a little more birthday gift shopping. Once again I would be lying if I didn't admit to being spoiled. I guess being my parents only daughter helps with that. I had been wanting a Kindle for some time now cause I am beyond tired of buying book & them just piling up in the garage so that's exactly what my daddy got me. & my mama got me the other thing I had been eying for sometime now, a Tiffany & Co. bracelet & by surprise a pair of earrings. @ 18 I got a pearl necklace & earrings & now @ 30 a Tiffany's bracelet & earrings. Spoiled much, yeah just a lil. But to me its more the memories that these pieces hold. I will never forget when I got them.
After a little more shopping @ Forever 21 & Macy's I got my eye's done @ the MAC counter & came home to rest before heading out with 9 of my girls for Live Music, Drinks & Lots of booty shaking. [lol]. My 30th Birthday was spent exactly how I wanted it, w/ people who love me.
Tomorrow is April 2nd & I will be having my last & final birthday celebration. We are having a huge BBQ.

ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!

My Birthday Is Upon Us.

Wow, I am exactly 1 week from my 30th birthday and excitement doesn't even explain how I am feeling for whats in store in my future. With the Jesus grace and God's will I know I am gonna be alright. & just knowing that is what wakes me up each and every single day. My 20's had many ups and downs even a few heartbreaks coming from friendships as well as relationships ending but LOVE would honestly be the word I used to best describe it all. I learned who has my back and who doesn't. I have the realest surrounding me now with arms wide for hugs, shoulder to cry on, ears to listen and hearty chuckles waiting to flow with me. My Mama has become not only the woman who kissed my boo boo's as a child or taught me how to act like a lady but also my very dearest and trust worthy best friend. Our shopping outings I love, her dinner's she cooks for me often are bomb.com but what I cherish most in our talks while laying in bed opening my soul.
My job field is where I want to stay. My heart is in it, which direction I take I am still unsure but that's OK, I love what I do and for now that's all that matters. Doing what I do best I gave up 4 months of my 20's to move to southern California and help take care of a women who is in her 60's while she was going threw with loosing a breast to cancer and then chemotherapy. While sitting with her week after week and watching the patients go threw what they were, taught me so much more about life, the strengths one holds with in that we don't even realize and when faith is needed the Lord shines in ways never expected.
Home is where the heart is and that is right here on the Central Coast, God's most beautiful land. As much as I enjoyed So. Cal there is no place like home and Nor. Cal is my play ground. From the beautiful ocean to the mile high tree's. I could see myself in no other place but here.
I have learned so much about myself threw my faith which I was so blessed to be instilled with at such a young age. I found a church where I feel so much at home and a true yearning to learn. My pastor is not just a preacher, he is a teacher who keeps me wanting and needing more. I look forward to my weekly bible study and Sunday services as much as a child would look forward to a trip to a Disneyland. I am a baby in my Christianity and each little crawl forward is only 1 step closer to my Lord. My haters are only the devil in disguise trying to hinder each step I take, but I am happy to say they are nothing but stepping stones in this wonderful life of mine. I would never wish harm or malice on anyone even those who try to tarnish my name. Because at the end of the day there is only 1 man who can judge me. I have the 1's who love me in arms reach when I fall making sure I get right back up and help me brush myself off. With this I close... XOXO

i have pitty for some...

there comes a point in ones life you need to let go of things you have no control over. if your not cute, you can't help it. if your not womanly, you can't help it. if you dress like an old lady with no style, fix it. if your are miserable, fix it. if you hate yourself, fix it. if you are lonely, fix it. quit trying to be someone you are not & learn to love who you are.

DIRTY 30.

yesterday was exactly 2 months from my 30th & i am kicking it off early. heading to vegas in 2 weeks with my girls. seeing as i share march 26th now with my beautiful nephew. so on the actual day we will be celebrating his 1st birthday. i am looking forward to what my 30's have in store for me. it just continues to get better & better. god's grace & mercy on my life is truly amazing.
i love who i am & my own style & swag. i love the amazing people who surround me & support my each step. if i die tomorrow i will die the happiest women on this earth.
