reflections

Reflecting over 2011. Projecting into 2012.

I have learned SO MUCH about myself this year. I feel like this year really highlighted a lot of the negatives in me. Most people would be down on themselves about something like that, but I am so grateful. In all things I give thanks.... (and to my Heavenly Father). I'm learning me. I'm figuring out this process of life and how I function in it, in what environments I thrive and in others that... well, not so much. I harbor so much unfocused energy. It's just everywhere. I am very passionate, which could otherwise be translated as overly emotional. I have literally been ALL over the place. 2011 has been a year of trial and error for me. 2012 will be the time for me to take the lessons that I have learned and to focus this energy of mine into something very productive (and hopefully lucrative as well). I'm thankful for every roadblock, frustration, mistake, and distraction because i know ALL these things are working FOR ME. Now it's time for me to pick up this mess I've spilled all over life's floor and set it in order. Maybe devine isolation is in order... or maybe all I need to do is get somewhere and sit down and wait for HIm to speak to me... Whatever the case may be, I'm waiting on God to make my next move my best move, honey. :))

me. AUGUST 2010. but i feel bluesy today.

The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.
