Today, 34 years ago I was born. Since that wonderful January day life has been filled with surprises, joys, pain, lessons learned, and love. This is the path life has chosen for me, and im glad. I wouldnt change much about my life and the thing that plagues me the most is the fact that i haven't spent as much time with my family. That's my challenge this year, to be more present in my children's lives, in my nieces and nephews lives, and even in my siblings lives.
People love to say i came in this world alone and ill leave it alone. that's is a crock of ish! there is at least one person who was there when you came, and when you leave you will undoubtedly leave someone behind.
Im taking this year of my life to strengthen the connections with the ones that i will leave behind.

Change is Here
Every living being must grow to sustain life. Sometimes our growth is calculated and deliberate, sometimes we allow fate alone to decide our course. Things happen in life that we don't understand and sometimes it takes an earthquake to shake our foundation violently, so that we will be forced to build a more stable lasting one. In the rubble, sometimes you will find that there are casualties, as well as survivors. Gather what you have that remained find fertile, safe, stable ground and begin to lay a new foundation. Change is necessary, its not always pretty, but it always brings life. The earthquake in my life has trapped all of the things that have choked the life out of me, and left me with a grand opportunity to relocate my foundation. Change is here; i got my building permit, do u have yours?

The Fat Lady's Song
They say its not over until the fat lady sings; well have you ever allowed yourself to wonder why she has to sing when somethings over?
This is my theory, in every movie there is a soundtrack, so it is with life i think. Music guiding every moment of our lives.
Sometimes the fat lady is singing a song of triumph or one of defeat; maybe she's singing about new life or a tragic end.
Today the fat lady is singing a song of loneliness, and she's been singing this tune in my ears for a while.
They say its not over until the fat lady sings; I say when is the fat lady gonna stop singing to me.
