Thank you everyone one of you for the Birthday wishes. It meant alot and I really appreciate it. Whether by phone call, text, online or at dinner. I am truly blessed to have you all in my life. :o)

Birthday Thought. . . Be creative! Find may ways to lighten things up with humor. Have more laughter and love in your life. If you la...ugh a lot all, your wrinkles will be in the right places, when your older. Laughing often and much will win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children.

212 The extra degree...

It's one day before my birthday and I'm proud to admit I'm turning 29 years young. However, I'm ashamed to admit that where and who I am right now, was not part of my original plan. It's better! Though as happy as I am with the outcome, there's always room for improvement in my life. So, here I am, my last day at 28 and I am graciously embracing the opportunity for growth.

Today, I attended a motivational meeting at work, with low expectations of what I would gain but to my surprise, I was motivated and inspired. 212 was what I received. My new goal: Cease to Complain. Amazing what an impact your attitude can make, not only on yourself but also on those around you. I thought about my husband and how my complaining affects his mindset everyday. I thought of my daughters whining, affecting my reaction to her needs and wants or how my negativeness discourages my family. 212 the extra degree is a combination of simple truths to reinforcing core values. It drives continual awareness of our responsibilities and actions. It's my new way of thinking and acting. It prompts me to take extra action as applying the extra degree would result in greatness and success.

Today, is my last day of repetitive routine. It's time to break out of my comfort zone. It's time to make my dream an actual goal with deadlines. It's time for me to be who I thought I might have been. Someone amazing to myself, to my family and to my friends. I was told once that the line between failure and success is so fine that we are often on the line and don't even know it. I am making it my goal to cross that line with a little bit of effort and patience. Just a little bit every day. Consistency is the key. Just a little everyday. I have been a Customer Service Representative now for almost 15 years and have become quite the expert at pleasing the other party by providing fair win/win resolutions. I have just now realized that Customer Service is not just a department but an it's an "Attitude". If I were to apply these skills and attitude to my family and friends at home, my life would breeze by as a WIN/WIN solution. This is not only going to be my New Year's resolution, but it's going to be my life's metaphor, which begins with my first day of being 29 years young.

To be cont...

My sweet love...


When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents, wife or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws.

Words cannot describe the kind of person my husband is. Amazingly, he is the guy who tells me when I've got on too much makeup on and helps me with my girdle when my hips stick. At the end of my life, I hope never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. I will ever want to regret time not spent with my husband. For the few years we’ve been married, my wedding ring has served its purpose. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times, that no matter where he is, it will always lead him back home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has definitely been my status symbol in the maternity ward. I’m very pleased to know that my husband regards me as a woman and a person. I would say that the surest measure of his or my maturity is the harmony, style, joy, and dignity he creates in our marriage, and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for me. I really take pride in the relationship that I have with my husband. Our unconditional love for each other is the one thing that enables me to sing while cleaning after my husband’s mess. Our marriage is far superior then I have every imagined it would be, because we clearly understand that we are on the same team. It’s never an easy kind of love to have but it’s definitely worth it. No, I don't understand my husband's theory of relativity, but I know my husband and I know he can be trusted. My husband is the one who, with a touch, can bring back the starlight and glow of years long ago. He believes that catching me was an art; but holding on to me is a job. Great Job Honey! You are my past, my present and my future. I love love love you forever and ever and ever! Always have, always will.

What about your FRIENDS. . . How many of us have them?

All my life I have struggled as friends came into my life and left. Only few have left unforgettable impressions, which will never allow me to feel the same about what a true friend really is. I have been discredited numerous times by many of my great acquaintances. I truly forgive and forgot these incidences ever existed. My heart always is soft and my mind is open after vengeance is met. I, too, must admit my role in deception. I haven't always been the greatest friend either. My flaws, weaknesses, apprehensiveness and abrupt behavior have compelled me to be the abominable friend. So here it is my sincerest apologies to all who I have offended in my life. I do not deny it; I can only apologize for it. I'm truly sorry. It’s time to make room for love, more love to give and more to receive. Ongoing with laughter will allow more love in our lives. Three simple words, Live, Laugh and Love. These are the words I will live by, thanks to two special friends in my life.



There are two friends I want to acknowledge. One, who has been a rock solid stone in my life, she has kept me grounded; her mistakes were my life's lessons, Her accomplishments became my drive to keep it going when push comes to shove. Her unconditional love for me has never been questionable but undeniable. I would not be half the person I am today if I did not have this person in my life. She gave me life and guided in the right direction because of her love, achievements, and weaknesses. A true friend indeed, my mother.




My other friend came here by choice. I really believe she chose me above all to be her friend. She was sent here for a purpose, greater than my human eye could see. Now I realize how much this special spirit has enlightened my life. She’s the apple of my eye. She makes me feel like life is limitless and that my all my dreams are within reach. She has moved me in ways, I can never illustrate. The feelings I have for this friend are beyond anything I could ever imagine. She is my most honorable friend, my daughter.



I have honestly been blessed with astonishing individuals, who have taught me a thing or two about life and who I have enjoyed having in my life. We've laughed together, we've cried together. Without candy coating our relationships with one another, I will admit times were demanding. These were times that made us or tore us apart. No matter what the circumstances were, you all are still considered A list in my eyes. . Thank you so much for the breathtaking experiences and for being my good friends.
