Today's Assignment

Today, 

I want you to send at least three people a letter, note, text or email

 just to let them know that you love them...

Don't always assume that you are the other person will be around.

Tea

Today I'd like to sit and sip,
Forget about the world a bit,
Ignore the things I have to do,
And just enjoy a cup or two.
~Author Unknown

Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. 

When you feed yourself what your body needs when it needs it,
that's love. 

So give your bod some TLC and sit down and enjoy a good, substantial breakfast.

Are You Ugly?

I Wish You All ...

Take It

God asks no man whether he will accept life. 

That is not the choice.

 You must take it. 

The only question is how. 

~Henry Ward Beecher

The End

A Book

There is no frigate like a book

To take us lands away,

Nor any coursers like a page

Of prancing poetry.

This traverse may the poorest take

Without oppress of toll;

How frugal is the chariot

That bears a human soul! 

Emily Dickinson

What Are You Doing?

You are what you do, 

not what you say you'll do.

“The trick is to enjoy life.

 Don't wish away your days, waiting for better 

ones ahead.”

Secret Relationship

If your relationship has to be a secret, 

you shouldn't be in it

What Have You Read Lately?

Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.

Just A Kiss

Scene from "Empire"

Lyin' here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile

I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this
Let's just take it slow

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight

I know that if we give this a little time
It'll only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
It's never felt so real, no it's never felt so right

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight

No I don't want to say goodnight
I know it's time to leave, but you'll be in my dreams

Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, oh, let's do this right, with just a kiss goodnight
With a kiss goodnight
Kiss goodnight

~Lady Antebellum

Be Your Own Kind Of Pretty

Scene from one of my favorite shows..."Two Broke Girls"

I have said before that we can't all look like our favorite celebrity.

And most of them don't look like what we see in magazines either.

Let's not let society dictate what beauty is...

In some countries , plus size women are a treasure.

And

There are women paying to have features that you may not like about yourself.

Celebrate what makes you different.

Forget what society has to say about "beauty".

They can't make up their minds anyway...

Because

At one time full lips and full hips were frown upon by "society", now everyone wants them.

So just

BE YOU!!

And start loving what makes you different from everyone else

  

A Good Time

You Deserve The Best...

Scene from "Scandal"

Don't settle for being someone's "other choice".

If you can not be the number one person in their life,

Move On.

If you are patient, the right one for you will come into your life...

Don't settle for less than the best.

Enjoy Your Life

“Life is too short to worry about anything. 

You had better enjoy it because the next day promises nothing.”

Eric Davis

The Heart Of A Story

I Love You...

We Are Our Brother's Keeper

We, the People, 

recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; 

that our destinies are bound together; 

that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me, 

a freedom without a commitment to others, 

a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, 

is unworthy of our founding ideals,

 and those who died in their defense.

Barack Obama

The Moon

Beautiful Moon, with thy silvery light,

Thou seemest most charming to my sight;

As I gaze upon thee in the sky so high,

A tear of joy does moisten mine eye. 

Beautiful Moon, with thy silvery light,

Thou cheerest the Esquimau in the night;

For thou lettest him see to harpoon the fish,

And with them he makes a dainty dish. 

Beautiful Moon, with thy silvery light,

Thou cheerest the fox in the night,

And lettest him see to steal the grey goose away

Out of the farm-yard from a stack of hay. 

Beautiful Moon, with thy silvery light,

Thou cheerest the farmer in the night,

and makes his heart beat high with delight

As he views his crops by the light in the night. 

Beautiful Moon, with thy silvery light,

Thou cheerest the eagle in the night,

And lettest him see to devour his prey

And carry it to his nest away. 

Beautiful Moon, with thy silvery light,

Thou cheerest the mariner in the night

As he paces the deck alone,

Thinking of his dear friends at home. 

Beautiful Moon, with thy silvery light,

Thou cheerest the weary traveller in the night;

For thou lightest up the wayside around

To him when he is homeward bound. 

Beautiful Moon, with thy silvery light,

Thou cheerest the lovers in the night

As they walk through the shady groves alone,

Making love to each other before they go home. 

Beautiful Moon, with thy silvery light,

Thou cheerest the poacher in the night;

For thou lettest him see to set his snares

To catch the rabbit and the hares.

Today's Funny Moment

Love Yourself...

I think every girl needs to love herself, regardless of anything. 

Like if you're having a bad day, if you don't like your hair, 

if you don't have the best family situation,

 whatever,

 you have to love yourself and you can't do anything until you love yourself first.

Julianne Hough

Which Are You?

At Last

I love that each day

I wake up to a world that has you in it

And that I’ve been blessed

With a life that took a path

That lead me straight to you

I’ve never been as happy

Or at peace as I am

since you’ve become a part of my life

There was a time

When I thought I’d never find

This place in my life

This calm, peaceful feeling

That true love has given me

After all the bridges I’ve crossed

And all the paths I’ve taken

After all the journey’s

And all the let downs

At last

I took the right path,

I crossed the right bridge

And my journey has ended

At Last

I found my heart

My best friend, my one true love

At last, I found you

Conqueror

Estelle and Jussie Smollett

Life is like a big merry-go-round,
You're up and then down,
Going in circles trying to get to where you are.
Everybody's been counting you out,
But where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place,
Just faces in the crowd.
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up!


I'd rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
'Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won't accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh

Got a vision that no one else sees,
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves,
Remember there's a war out there,
So come prepared to fight!
You never know where the road leads you,
Not everyone's gonna believe you,
And even though they're wrong, don't prove them right.


I'd rather stand tall (tall)
Than live on my knees (can't live on my knees)
'Cause I am a conqueror
And I won't accept defeat!
Try telling me no (no)
One thing about me (one thing about me)
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh (Ooh oh)
I am a conqueror!

We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up!
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
Don't ever give up!


I'd rather stand tall (oooh)
Than live on my knees (can't live on my knees)
'Cause I am a conqueror (I am a conqueror)
And I won't accept defeat! (And I won't accept defeat)
Try telling me no (try telling me no)
One thing about me (one thing about me)
Is I am a conqueror (is I am a conqueror)
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh (Ooh oh)
I am a conqueror!

We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But I am a conqueror! (oh ooh)

Furry Bear

If I were a bear,

   And a big bear too,

I shouldn’t much care

   If it froze or snew;

I shouldn’t much mind

   If it snowed or friz—

I’d be all fur-lined

   With a coat like his!

 

For I’d have fur boots and a brown fur wrap,

And brown fur knickers and a big fur cap.

I’d have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws,

And brown fur mittens on my big brown paws.

With a big brown furry-down up to my head,

I’d sleep all the winter in a big fur bed

The Beauty Of A Woman

Aaliyah

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,

 the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair...

Audrey Hepburn

You Are Blessed

Beauty

The beautiful Viola Davis

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up.

 I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. 

You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.

The "B" Word

Men, 

just because a woman is independent,

 opinionated and / or self assured 

does not mean you have the right to call her anything other than her name.

Ladies, 

 Stop calling yourself and other women 

the "B" word.
You are not a "B"; 

that is the term used to call a female dog, wolf, fox or otter.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL !!!

Don't let anyone tell you anything different.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is 

the fragrance that the violet sheds

 on the heel that has crushed it

~Mark Twain
