A simple quote…

“Today is the TOMORROW we worried about YESTERDAY.”

Very powerful. Think about it.

All Things Considered

When looking to hold a grudge against an individual, take time to think about how important that grudge truly is. The time, the energy, sometimes the headache, and the breath that it takes to complain about a certain situation makes that situation in reality much less important. Wasting your time on trivial situations or spending way more time arguing about a situation rather than correcting it, tends to show your likeness in true form. What are you focused on?

Keep your mind at ease by focusing on what is needed rather than who is needy.

Philosophy

I don't know the answers to  everything;

So I don’t hurt my head trying to figure them out…

The Best Mistake To Make

everyone should have an opportunity to discover love.

no one should be punished for finding it.

 

Hypocritically, of course…

HYPOCRITE:: Definition: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.

If you’re currently living each day pointing out what someone else is doing wrong, maybe you should take the time to re-evaluate yourself. I run into these type of people almost daily in life, and sometimes it’s quite annoying. Judgment will be the end all be all to some people, for others it will be hypocrisy. 

In my opinion, the worst thing that you could be in the world, is a hypocrite. Change that for a day. You may not have tomorrow to do so.

Rest In Peace

On February 22, my aunt Jenny passed away due to a struggling 3-day (yes, 3 day) battle with breast cancer. Of course she had the disease her entire life, yet she never took the time to get anything checked. Therefore she dealt with the pain and agony of the cancer slowly breaking down her body and eventually taking her life.

This blog post of course is not intended to mourn my aunt’s death, as I am not a person to mourn continuously. This blog is intended to ask you, What would you do in 3 days?

Reflect?  Pity?  Celebrate?

Would actually take the time to forgive someone? Or tell someone that you loved them? Would you do something crazy? Or do the one thing you’ve always wanted to do? Would you waste it?

We cannot waste the days we have when we are alive; when we are breathing. When we are blessed to have the air pass through our lungs allowing us to function as a human being. I ask these questions because I personally never got the chance to know my aunt on levels I know others. I went to see her this summer, but she wasn’t home. So, should I have tried harder or could she?

We say rest in peace when you are dead, yet on Earth we rest in fear when we are alive.

 AUNT JENNY. WE LOVE YOU.

My First Sister[s]

On November 21, 2010 I was granted the opportunity to join the most Illustrious sisterhood at my college here at the University of Florida. I became a part of The Iota Lambda Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and my line was “30 Pearls of Prolification” aka 30 P.O.P. Since crossing into A.K.A I have enjoyed all of the things it has taught me. Even today it continues and will forever continue to teach me to be strong, a leader, a innovator, a TRUE woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha. I have been given the opportunity to actually have a sister for the first time in my life and although the road was not easy and we do have our ups and downs (as siblings do), I am happy that I can call any one of my linesisters/sorors at any time and they will be there for me. I know that I made the best decision that I could have and I know that Alpha Kappa Alpha will always be in my heart.
