Time Waits For NO ONE!

........And quite frankly time doesn't care what you have just planned!!!

Get your life! No, seriously......get your life. Love who you want. Run away and elope (if you wish). Take the trip you have always wanted! Marry the love of your life! Enjoy the family and friends that are in your life.

I say all this because I know a woman who JUST married the love of her life (earlier this year) and he had a stroke on Friday, December 21, 2012.  On December 26, 2012, was taken off of life support. Her Facebook post said "Smdh @ our first and last Christmas together." WHAT??????????????????????????
 

Love does not come around when its convenient for us. It comes when God would have us to be loved. Don't waste any opportunities! Love who you love. If someone has slipped through your grasp or someone says they let you go and need you back..........weigh your options!!!

A friend of mine broke up with her last boyfriend.  Recently, she told me they will be engaged for Christmas!  Another friend had a simple ceremony and wed the man that helped her through all their ups and downs.  Throw caution to the wind and do what makes you happy....NOW!
 

Take heed to this message and realize that we are walking into a new year that will be filled with GREAT OPPORTUNITIES! I beg you to go for what you want and love who you desire!  Don't waste your talent either.  You know that you have a God-given gift.  What are you waiting for to use it, write that book, start that company or just begin a new project?

 

We MUST stop taking people, time and talent for granted!

God bless you and your loved ones. Take care of each other.  Live your life.  Follow your dreams! 

Who You Loving Valentine's Day and Beyond?

So many put a ton of effort into getting the right gift, the right card, going to the right dinner and setting the right mood, but don't know if it's with the right person!

Valentine's Day is a day built on love. For those who know they have found THE ONE and are nestled in the right relationship, there should be a monthly Valentine's Day. Those who are still speculating on him or her, need to understand that no amount of 'right' or perfect gift on one day will make a future with someone correct.

I spoke with a guy who just proposed to his long-time mate. He did everything a woman would want for her engagement; a two carat ring, special pomp and circumstance within a posh restaurant filled with lots of strangers surrounding them, so they could ogle at her gorgeous ring.  Even with all that, he stated he's not sure if he did the right thing with the right woman. WHAT? He succumbed to the pressure of her and her mother, only to now have ex's and 'friends' telling him he shouldn't have; he's second guessing his decision to propose. So, now he is in a precarious situation;  continue the farce or be honest and admit to her that he's not ready to marry and he's unsure about his future with her. 

Why even put yourself in that situation?  We can love a multitude of people for various reasons.  The one you request to spend the rest of your life with, however, you should love beyond measure.  It's not the value in a day {In this instance Valentine's Day} or the influences of persons around you, that makes for the proper timing when it comes to choosing your life mate. 

Treat every day as your opportunity to find out if the person you are with is truly THE ONE.  Peer and parental pressures aside, stand strong in your beliefs and your cautiousness.  After all, you are taking your time for some reason.  If you have done the homework and decide the person is right for you, but your friends don't see it the same way, then maybe it's your friendship that needs reevaluating!

Find the one who is the right fit.  No one else should have to tell you or push you to that realization.
