This is an exhilerating post and one that I am elated to write.

As I discussed in an earlier post, I have been seeking God’s direction for this new level of living I am on. That direction from Him has been simply to SERVE!

“How do I serve others God?”

“Use what I have already given you.”

So I took an assessment of my skills, talents and spiritual gifts (yes, there is a difference) and then I looked at my passions and my personality. What I discovered was that my passions lay in direct correlation with helping others.

• I am passionate about helping others to heal from the pain of abuse in any form. Being a survivor of molestation, physical and mental abuse I know the pain that comes with it. It is more than the actions that others do to you during their acts of evil. The pain goes deeper and causes one to perceive a reality that is not really there but may be all they know.
• I am passionate about teaching others the value of transformation for a life that determines their business and not the other way around. I see too many work at home entrepreneurs living for their business and not living to live a purposeful life filled with true abundance.
• I am passionate about helping young girls believe in their worth and see that they are not someone’s “shawty”, “ho”, or “b****”. They are more than the sexy clothes, tattoos, and drop it like it’s hot dancing.
• I am passionate about helping new wives get that their husbands are not their Gods and their life does not stop at “I do”. Hope I am not stepping on toes but too many times women lose themselves in their families and miss living out loud for God. I am passionate about showing women how to set healthy boundaries so that they are able to truly live life outside of the box.
• I am passionate about seeing new business owners emerge from people who never thought they could.
• I am passionate about seeing the new business owner find their place in the online world of business without being taken advantage of and with a road map for success.

These are a few but for me a great start. They are the core of where I am right now in my proper place of service. You see we all have a proper place of service. As I often tell my husband who has a million ideas, everything you think of is not for you to do. Find what fit for you and work it.

I see my passions working in my business ministry (I call it this because all I do I try to do as if unto the Lord).

• Life and Business Integration is a whole life mentoring business where I minister to the whole person – mind, body, and spirit; helping them to see how to integrate life components for a better business.
• Social Savvy Online Solutions is where I help the new online business owner find and maintain their online platform. It is my goal to help my clients get in where they fit in for a stronger online presence.
• Beyond the Point of Forgiveness, Synergized Woman are both about healing and seeing the reality that exist in Christ.
• This year I am developing offline workshops and opportunities for business growth that will allow me to help others bring their business online and gain a strong community presence.

My passions are becoming my business and my business is taking on a whole new meaning.  I used to be afraid to use my passions to create a business.  According to some experts, it is impossible to do. However I have learned that my expert is God and with Him all things are possible!

You see God is the author and finisher of my race and if I look to Him for direction, I will see that YES my personality, my passion, and the purpose to glorify Him all work in conjunction to help me find my business path. I am not saying I will never listen to an expert ….I am an expert. What I am saying is that I will seek first the Kingdom of God so that all things can be added unto me.

Whoever is reading this thinking that your passions have no place in business because you were misinformed about the truth…don’t believe the hype! With God YES you can follow your passions and if God says yes, you will earn an income.

It is happening for me! It can happen for you!

In John chapter 4, Jesus deals with a woman who needs some healing. She has been married 5 times and the man she is currently with is not her husband. She is shunned by the other women, because of her lifestyle plus she is a Samaritan. So she has to do all her work in the middle of the day when hardly anyone is around. She has no idea of Whom she is about to meet and how her life will change because of His Touch.

When Jesus approaches the woman he asks for a drink of water and she questions Him as to why He is even talking to her. After all, He is a Jew and she a Samaritan so the two are not supposed to mix. Jesus talks to the woman anyway, because He knows that His Father is no respecter of person, and she needs to hear what He has to say. She needs to see the Truth for what it actually is. He knows that the only way to true freedom, healing and salvation is to know the Truth. Then and only then can one be set healed, delivered, and set totally free. So, in spite of her objections, Jesus goes forward with His message.

As Jesus speaks to the Samaritan Woman, He meets the woman where she is and not where He expects her to be. He deals with her issues and shows her the Greater Way. He accepts her for who she is and tells her that she needs to drink of the Living Water that comes only through knowing the Son of God. Eventually she gets it, the light comes on, and her salvation journey begins.

Now I don’t know what happens to the woman after she meets Jesus and goes to town to tell the others of her experience. But if I could use my “holy imagination” for a moment. I like to give my version. I would venture to say that after she bears witness to the Truth, the Way, and the Light, that she went home and began to clear out the “baggage”. Out went the low self-esteem. Out went the low self-image. Out went the luggage that carried years of feeling unwanted and useless. Finally out went the man, who really did not love her in the first place. With each piece of baggage she threw out, she saw herself in a new light. The way Jesus saw her. She was now joint heir to the Throne and the adopted child of God. She was the apple of His eye and because of Jesus, God saw her in perfect way.

Praising Him daily was now her life, because she had been healed, delivered, and set free by the Lord and Savior to all who believe.

So to each of you I say look to Jesus, be healed, and go clear out your baggage.

What goals have you pushed aside this year? How many pounds did you not lose that you vowed to at the beginning of this year? How much did you spend when you promised to stick to a budget?

With 100 days left (well 99 to be exact) it is not too late for you to lose those pounds, start that new blog, or take up a new hobby. The end of the year is near bu.

It is not the end of your dreams for this year and beyond.

So what are your dreams? What have you been putting off and saying that you will do it tomorrow?

Here are a few of mine that I am working on accomplishing in 100 days:

• Write a 30 day devotional for daily practical living
• Release an information product
• Lose 40 to 50 lbs

Those are my goals for the next 100 days.

Share yours and let’s hold each other accountable

********************************************************

Everything in me said “don’t do it” but for some reason I knew I was suppose to.  Nothing really made sense about it, yet I knew it was from God.  What you’re wondering, the leap of faith I was about to take.  Though it was hard to rationalize, understand or see clearly I knew I had to take it.  I was going to “step out of my comfort zone and into God’s hands”.  I was going to let go of my life and put it in to God’s hands.

Stepping out on faith is never easy to do, but it is definitely worth the step, the leap, the anxiety.  You may hear that still small voice, you may feel that invisible push, but somehow you just know, God is calling, God is prodding, He is waiting for you to take the leap.

Many people today are hearing that call, but few are answering.  It is like Scripture says, “the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.”  Are you going to answer God’s call and go bring in the sheaves or are you going to sit there and wait, or sit there and do nothing?

Since taking my “giant leap of faith” as I call it almost 2 years ago I have seen God’s hands working in my life more than ever before.  It is like when I let go, he took over right where I let go.  No beat was missed, no stone was left unturned, everything was put into place as he saw fit.

Was it easy every minute of the last two years, well of course not, but it sure was worth it.  The experiences have been life-changing, fulfilling and meaningful.  Would I go back to the way my life was before? No way.

If you are feeling called to take a “leap of faith”, especially into an area of ministry, especially if God is calling you to use your voice, whether audibly through speaking or through the written word then I want to talk to you!  I want to help you, equip you and encourage you.

I want to share my story and what I’ve learned with you through a membership program I have put together called Faith Leaps.  Faith Leaps is designed to help you take the leap of faith into speaking, writing and ministry.  Whether you believe you should leap into one or all three of those areas.

Come on over and look around, see if you’re ready to take the leap.

Alyssa Dees Avant is a Christian writer, speaker and blogger.  She is passionate about ministry.  Founding  Beauty by Design Ministries to reach out to girls who are pressured and confused by the messages of style, fashion, and beauty.  She is launching Faith Leaps to help others begin their journeys and fulfill their calls and dreams.   She is married with three precious children all under the age of 5.

Everyone should have a set of rules they live by to help guide their lives. For me the Bible is my ultimate rule book but overtime I have take the wisdom I have gained and created a few that for me all tie back to God and His Word anyway. Here are my rules to live by:

• Seek First the Kingdom of God. For me this means that I have add God to every part of my life, making sure that where I am at any given moment is where He intends for me to be. Only by doing what He says will my life be blessed beyond compare.
• Never Let ‘em See You Sweat. In-other-words roll with the punches and don’t let people get under your skin. There are haters and naysayers in your life and they aren’t going anywhere; but you really don’t have to let them wear you down or make you feel less than what you are worth. You are worth more than rubies in God’s eyes. This has been one rule that has brought me through much in the last few years. I have gotten to the point where I let the haters and naysayers words roll right off.
• Move Beyond Yourself. Stop making life about YOU. It’s not! Life is about what you do with it, how you live it, and the impact you make on it. Now I am not talking about making money, because that is a fleeting thing that won’t get you far. If you are a selfish, self-centered, or self-imposing individual who exist within your little bubble, then you can never be of any good to anyone else in life. Learn to move beyond yourself. This also includes those who continually live as the victim and never learn to be the victorious being that they were created to be. People who dwell in their mess are just as selfish.
• Know Who Your Are and Whose You Are. You were created in the image of God who makes no mistakes and does everything with a calculated purpose. To take yourself down to a level any lower than where God has created you is like a slap in His face.
• Everything For a Reason and a Reason For Everything. Nothing happens by accident; at least that’s how I see it. There is a lesson for everything that occurs in life; we just have to learn to open our eyes and see it.
• It Is What It Is. Whenever life happens or things just get in the way, I always repeat this phrase. Stuff happens, and you can either choose to dwell in it or learn to rise above it. We can’t stop circumstances from happening in our lives.
• Love You Like God Does. Okay so this is a hard one and I mean hard. We are not quick to love ourselves; but we are quick to criticize and speak negatively about ourselves. We just need to stop that because God is too Good for us not to see the value of His unconditional love. With this same love we can love ourselves too. That does not mean we are to value ourselves as more important than anyone else but we are to value ourselves.
• Don’t Fake The Funk. Are you laughing yet? I know people always crack up when I mention this one, but it is true. Have you ever smelled someone who tried to cover up funk with cologne or deodorant. They need to face the fact that if you stink, you just stink. Be real about it and don’t try to hide it because the smell will come out. It’s the same with living. You can’t hide things because what’s done in the dark will come out to light. So just be real. Be you!
• Live To Serve Others. Yep, I said it! It goes right back to Moving Beyond Yourself. If you are living then there is someone out there for you to help in some way. Whether you want to believe it or not, you life is not about you. WOW! What a concept. Pay attention to some the most successful people in life and you will notice that they are always in the business of helping others. They understand that it is not all about them.

These rules are mine and for my life they work. I would love to know what your rules are.

Over the last few months I have watched many women talk about what they do not like about themselves. They strive to become these perfect specimens by getting things tucked, sucked, and cut this way or that. Cosmetic surgery has become a billion dollar industry; and while I think it does have its place, it is not the answer to loving, or even liking yourself.

I have learned to come to grips with my imperfections and I know that they are a part of who LaTara is. I am a perfect imperfection with dents, bumps, and bruises. I understand that there are no perfect people- though there are many who want to believe they are. And you know what? They are perfect…but now in the way they may think.

God made each of us with a unique pattern. No two people are alike – not even twins. There is always something different. Now to the human eye some of these differences may appear to be imperfect, quirky, and down right strange. In some cases they are really strange, but God always has a reason for giving His children the characteristics, traits, DNA makeup, or looks they may have.

We, in our human frailty, look at others and ourselves and judge what we think we see; but assumption and perception can really get in the way of truly seeing who a person is. Sometimes we have to see beyond what appears and ask God to reveal what really is.

When I first accepted Christ in 1989, I was a lost child. I was partying 7 days a week (the strip club was my venue of choice back then), drinking rum and coke, long island iced teas, and straight shots of tequila on occasion; dating drug dealers and other thugs, and doing things with men that I just had no business doing. Even after accepting Christ, that lure of the street was still strong in my life. I did not break up with my drug dealing man and I still went to see “Dream” and “Hercules” do their thing on the $2 drink nights at the club I frequented and then go hang out with them at the local Denny’s until 2 or 3 in the morning. And get this, I held a full time job.

One day after church, my pastor came up to me and told me that he wanted me to take over the young women’s ministry. I thought the man was crazy and told him so. Shoot, I was waiting on church to end so that I could go get some sleep and get ready to party that night with my girls. As-a-matter-of-fact, I had been out the night before too. He looked and me and said that God has something for me to do and that he was told to offer the position to me. Something within me said yes and as I walked out the church, I thought to myself, ‘What in the h___ did I just do?”

I did not see myself as God had showed him. Often times over the next 14 years of being a part of the church, my pastor often challenged me, never judged me, and always supported me. Even when I became pregnant out of wedlock, he did not stop loving me and being there for me. He told me to keep going forward with what God has for me. I was in leadership and a teacher there for most of my stay at the church.

It took me a long time to see me for me and to accept who I was. That is a part of being authentic – accepting those areas of your life that are not perfect. Being authentic means that you know your feet may be flat or your nose a little wide but you love you anyway, knowing that what God has for you is for you.

Can I list a few of the things about me that I thing are imperfect but  I accept as my imperfect perfections:

• I have stretchmarks
• I am anal about things looking a certain way and having some sort of order.
• I have a huge kool aide smile with rabbit looking teeth
• I am not photogenic
• I have big flat feet
• I have moles on my face and body. One is one my neck and wearing a necklace can be painful.
• My lips are dark and so are my gums.
• My forehead…HUGE!
• My nose is wide
• I often sing a little loudly as I walk down the street
• I have a butt that says hello in a BIG way and my hips are not that far behind.

Those are only a few but for years many of things bothered me. Why didn’t I have small feet like my sister? Why did I inherit the butt and moles from my father’s side of the family? Why do I have to have things in order -not perfect order, but some sort of order? Why, why, why?

For years I would ask these questions. But now I am able to rest in the words from my pastor and I move forward with what God has for me to do. I now look in the mirror and see a woman who is a beautiful specimen created for definite destiny. In Africa I would be deemed a Queen. In God eye I am a perfect imperfection with so much to give the world.

So I smile wide, wear my size 10 shoes with pride, and still sing as I walk down the street.

What are some of your perfect imperfections?

While I am not a political blogger and likely never will be because politics is not at all about God, but man in my opinion. However I do find that it is a topic that many mom bloggers are discussing. I have noticed that some of these moms are to the left while others are to the right. This made me think, “LaTara, what type of mom are you?”

I have been thinking about this long and hard for the last few days and I have decided that I am a Vertical Mom. I don’t beat to the beat of a man’s drum. My drum is mine and only God can have a turn on it. That is not selfish because man is not the determiner of my life as it should be. I am not concerned with whether or not I am liked, if that were the case I would cry everyday, as there are many who think I am different – not at all like the rest. To that I say thank God because as I watch the path that many take, I am glad that my road is a little different.

Now maybe you ask, what is a vertical mom, you ask? Of course I am going to tell you but I am choosing to do so with poetry.

A vertical mom is one who looks to God to determine how she should live.
She is not one who is defined by a political party or a set of man made rules and values.
Her values stem from her belief and relationship with her Creator.
She is one who attempts to test and prove as the Word says she should.

The vertical mom teaches the morals and values of God to her children
as she understands that it is His judgment that matters most in the end.
She is a woman who strives to understand her position in life through her relationship with God.

She does not judge or point fingers at the wrongs of others
She knows that she is guilty too.
Guilty of neglecting, denying, and disobeying God
All too often.

The Vertical mom is not a right mom because there is not one who knows it all.
She is not a left mom because that is sometimes a rather crooked road.
She is not an independent mom because she knows that she must depend on God.

If the vertical mom goes left or right
It is not because she desires to be a donkey or an elephant
But because she is reaching out to her brother and sister
As a vertical witness of the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

She is simply a vertical mom
On her knees and trying to live as God says she should.

She doesn’t claim perfection;
Not even that she has it all together.
She just lives her life daily to please God;
Seeking forgiveness when she knows she did wrong;
Never being afraid to admit all have sinned
And she too fits the bill.

The Vertical Mom lives her purpose and destiny.
She knows that she was hand picked for the task
And moves forward with an authenticity that says that
She knows exactly who she is.

The Vertical mom is me.

Is she you?

If you would like to join me in being a vertical mom, I invite you to copy and paste the graphic above and write your own views about what it means to be a vertical mom. Be sure to link to http://www.momunplugged.com and tell your friends to join in too.

Looking forward to reading what you have to say.

You know as moms and women we neglect ourselves continually. We allow everything and everyone to come before us all the time. Is this the right thing to do? In some instances I say ‘yes’ and in others I say ‘no’.

I think that the goal of any believer is to be available for the work of God and to serve others as He sees fit. We are to strive to become less selfish beings and open ourselves up to the needs of others. I think as moms we have this down pack but as women we are so living as doormats.

Women tend to have a naturally nurturing spirit and we are more apt to step up to the need of another, especially when we become moms. We will be there when they are sick, when they need to be cleaned, when they fall and hurt themselves, when they need, need, and need some more. We become everything to our chidren and, if married, husbands as well.

But what have we become to ourselves? What do we do to enjoy who we are? And we are more than wife and mom -please don’t fool yourself into thinking otherwise. We are more than what occurs in the home.

At the beginning of this year I had somewhat of a nervous breakdown and had to seek some assistance to get my mind back on track. You see 5 years of being everything to my family and nothing to myself drove me to a  place that I never thought I would go again. I nurtured everyone else and not myself causing days of sleeplessness, dread, fear, anxiety, insecurity; all leading me to typical and detrimental self-sabotage.

I missed the mark of being the woman God created me to be.

After talking, sharing, praying, crying, and yes, even yelling at God I reached quite a few conclusions:

• LaTara needs time for LaTara. Even Jesus retreated to rejuvenate and spend quality time with his Father.
• A wife’s duty is not to wrap herself in her man. When God told Eve in Genesis 3:16  “Yet your desire and craving will be for your husband, and he will rule over you,” that was not a commandment He was handing down. It was a part of the curse for the sin committed. Oh boy did my eyes open on that one. I am not saying that the man is not the head of the home because that is his role in the family and I am not negating “submission” but that too has been so misconstrued over time.  But I will cover this one more deeply in another post because this is not the purpose for this post.
• Women have to take time for themselves and it is not selfish to do; nor does it mean you love your family any less.
• Your purpose in life is not wrapped up into people. It is wrapped up in God and His desire for your life.
• Men have just as much responsibility for the care of the home as women do. Caring for the home is teamwork, not “woman-work”. I hope I am not making anyone upset but this is what has been revealed to me. I am not being a feminist but a realist.

Now before you go sending me nasty comments about what a terrible wife and mom I am to think of me, let me say that I have shared these same revelations with my man and he agreed wholeheartedly. And after having my breakdown he really worked hard at becoming a part of the team that he had neglected to join from the time we said “I do”.

As women we need time to be who we are. We should not continually lose ourselves in the lives of others, even our husbands and children. That is not what the goal of the Proverb woman was. Don’t believe me, go take a look, and then come back and talk to me.

What I am saying is that it is ok to just be YOU.

It is ok to spend time with friends.

It is ok for your kids and husband to clean up after themselves.

It is ok to eat peanut butter sandwiches for dinner one night as week.

It is ok not to be a door mat. Let me repeat that…

IT IS OKAY NOT TO BE A DOORMAT

It is ok to have a dream that is God revealed and ordained; and it is ok to live that dream

It is ok to say that you are tired or that you don’t feel well.

It is ok to tell your husband that you can’t be his everything.

It is ok to teach your kids to be self-sufficient and to learn to so things for themselves.

IT IS OK!

Think about this way, while you are neglecting you, everyone is being nurtured to become more, to do more. not what happens if, God forbid, your husband died or abandoned you tomorrow. What happens when the kids are grown and out of the house. Who will you be then? What will you do?

Are you prepared for that?

Today and everyday take the time to nuture you!

A while back I wrote about getting Back to Organization and I have really been accomplishing that. I even have my husband on the bandwagon – well somewhat anyway, but hey sometimes it takes time. What I have been doing to pay attention to how things are unorganized is reading books and articles and asking questions. I am also taking a few mental and physical notes.

Some of the things that I have concluded are:

• I have to be the example to my family and show them that glorifying God includes keeping the home in order and being more organized. I had given up somewhat with Mr Messy in the house. However, I have been pushing him daily to get it together by reminding him that the Word tells us that whatever you do, you are to do it to the glory of God. Talk about conviction
• I am to teach Brehane now the value of clean and organized. He does pretty good with it but misses some point and that is to be expected at 4. So I am to model it for him.
• In order to get my office organized I need my own space because my husband and I understand organization a little differently. That issue will be remedied once we get to GA in a few weeks.
• I can’t get frustrated when they don’t do it as I want. As long as it neat and organized I need to be ok with that. I have to say that to myself about 10 times a day.
• Your style and personality says a lot about how you organize yourself. For example my family is very simple but also a little anal (ok that can be a good thing really it can) in how we do thing so my organization efforts must reflect that. I am very tight on keeping thing in their place and I try to organize my home to reflect that and to make it easy to accomplish.
• An unorganized mess equals an unorganized mind.

Those are a few things that I have concluded but not all. And I am still learning as I go.

With business I am learning to use tools and resources that will help me stay on task, keep up with my to-do list, keep meeting time straight, and be more functional as I work through that day.

Here are some of the things I have been doing:

• I found that the to-do list applications online don’t work for me without writing it down on paper as well. I find that often times I open my email and ignore the ones telling me what I need to do. So I am writing it on paper and keeping it right beside me as I work. I am even reverting to using the whiteboard on my wall to help me stay on task. When it stares you in the face, you just can’t ignore it.
• I add appointments, events, weekly tasks to my Google calendar as soon as they are confirmed. With Google you can print out the day, week, agenda, and month so that helps a lot. I am a very visual person.
• I found a very cool way to Twitter and stay on task with Zenbe. You cna even invite your clients and friends to see your scehdule, documents, etct.
• I am also using a very simple application called CreativePro Office for keeping up with all my clients, sending invoices, keeping time, and more. I am not using it as efficiently as I should be but I will get it all together soon.
• I keep track of all my clients in a notebook. I jot down stuff like their names, phone, likes, dislikes, project possibilities, notes from meets we may have and more. It really helps me to keep up with them. I do the same for an JV (joint venture) projects I have.
• I am creating charts. Charts for goals, blogging, and more. Did I tell you that I am a very visual person.
• I narrowed down my daily work schedule for clients to about 6.5 hours per day. It really helps when accepting clients and assignments or projects. To work on the back end of business and my blogs I have set aside Sundays because my husband is either home or he takes Brehane with him to work. Sure there are days when I work longer or Sundays when the family is out but that is when you learn the value of flexbility.

A little sidenote: I am not an affiliate of any program mentioned here. I just think they are very valuable tools for getting and staying organized.

Now I am still organizing for homeschool but it should be pretty simple because AJ attends the academy now in Oklahoma and Brehane will only be 5 when we get started. Most of my time with him will be creative play and we only homeschool for a few hours per day.

So there you have it. A portion of my journey to getting back to organization. A good book to read about getting and stay organized is Organizing From The Inside Out. It is a great little read and will get your organizing wheels turning.

My husband actually brought it home and I told him that he needed it more than me. But I picked it up because you can never learn too much – well actually I think in some instances you can. I figured that if I read it my husband and I can talk about the ideas in the book and that will help us to communicate better when it come so organization because sometimes I can go on one of “Tara Rants” and that is just not a cool thing to do. To watch me fuss and clean can be hilarious but it wears this woman out.

How are you getting it all together? Do you have any tips for me?

About two weeks ago I wrote a post about an epiphany I had. I realized that I am a point of finding myself and it sure feels great! I am not sure if it is all about being a few months from 40 or if it is just that I am finally hearing what God has been saying to me for years. Whatever it is, it really does feel good to be in this position!

I have listened to this person and that person about who I am and yet I never quite felt comfortable about what they had to say. It was as if something were missing. However, there were times when I listened and found myself in the middle of some situations that I did not want to be in. Now I don’t blame anyone because they were just trying to help and meant well, as we often do when we give advice. However, I should have listened to the voice that was guiding me elsewhere.

I have decided a few things about my life where my family, business, and my ministry is concerned:

• My family is blessed beyond measure and we have to appreciate that daily.
• Brehane is a major focus for me right now and everything I do must reflect that fact.
• If am not satisfied in my personal life, I will not be satisfied in anything I do.
• My business direction is changing and I must accept that and move with it.
• I only play to an Audience of One and it is He who I must seek to glorify
• I don’t have to feel guilty because my business direction is changing. I need to do what is best for my life as it is.
• I have to work smart and not wear myself into the ground. If I am overworking myself I am no good to God or anyone else.
• I must use what I have effectively
• I have to work being married daily because it ain’t no joke.
• My business must surround my personal mission and focus, if it doesn’t then for me it just won’t work.
• I love serving others and helping them to succeed.
• I have a heart for your women and want them to learn to see themselves as God does.
• God has given me the uncanny talent of creative communication. I have to use it and do it well.
• I am tired of spinning my wheels trying to make things work that aren’t. It is time to use the skills and talents i have and create a stream of income that will be beneficial for my family

There are many other resolutions I have reached but I think this is enough to share for because not everything needs to be shared.

I am at a point where I am at peace with the decisions that I have made and I love where I am in life. This has been a long time coming and I have gone from one end of the world to the other (figuratively that is), to discover what in the heck I am supposed to be doing. There is no way I am turning back now and allowing myself to be trapped back into what it not working for me.

Man, I feel so free writing that out. I really do feel so good about me!

How do you feel about YOU?
