Reflections of 2009.

So... It's that time of year again where I reflect upon the accomplishments, mistakes made, and lessons learned from this past year.

Focusing on lessons learned, I can honestly say, that I've bettered myself in all aspects of my life… mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually… Although there is always room for improvement, I am happy with who I've become. Not only have I grown stronger as an individual, but I've learned to ignore all negativity, and live life in a more positive manner. I've learned to recognize my own emotions and manage them to produce positive outcomes. This has helped me to see the world with clearer eyes…

I've come to the point where I know exactly what I want, and what I need to do to get it. I am laser-beam clear about my goals in life and persistent about going after them without being pushy and harming others in the process… And I can honestly say, that this mindset, has definitely created the magic to transform my dreams into a reality. I guess when you are 100% clear about what you want in life, amazing things start to happen: success, happiness, good fortune, just to name a few.

I've also come to realize that being happy is a result of making smart choices… I take responsibility for my own happiness and refuse to be pushed around by ANYONE. 2009 has had its fair share of ups and downs… but i've learned to manage my emotions and I refuse to allow any negative feeling take a hold of me.

My experiences throughout 2009 have changed me completely. I’ve come to really discover what I do and don't want in life. This year was definitely a huge learning experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better year, full of adventures, lessons, emotions & people... I am always striving to better myself, and I believe that this is the perfect time of year to do so… I am ready to take on whatever challenges 2010 has coming my way.

My Outlook on Life

Simply put:

If you don't like something, change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.

It's all in your state of mind.

The Simple Things

People, time is of the essence, so don`t come at me with run-arounds...if you come at me "ignoramus-style" then nice & understanding is the last thing I`ll be with you. Say something worth saying; words are only as true as the person who lives by what he speaks. There is nothing more sexier, sensual, beautiful, invigorating, call it what you will, than a person who has complete ownership of their state-of-mind, a great verbal-expansion and knows how to use it. Peeps, we are so involved with ourselves and such petty things that we don`t enjoy the simple things in life anymore... Don't take forgranted what you have in front of you; you know, the simple things.

A Piece of My Mind

Me: A bit too confident? No, I was just brought up to value myself & know what I`m worth; I have struggled through so much & learned what I could (although I`m still learning), to finally understand that I have a right to choose whom I want to surround myself with; I have no tolerance for ignorance. YES, I can be that down-to-earth female with the headstrong attitude, that shy yet self-assured kinda girl, that sweet and sensitie type of girl, or even that funky-vibin` chick who busts out with higher-leveled lingo...so do NOT judge a book by just reading the Table of Contents, take the time to read the WHOLE book that is forever adding chapters to it`s content. People, there is a time and a place for everything, so learn your surroundings and learn who you`re dealing with; I do NOT "holla", so don`t speak out of your arse just to do so; just to let you in on a "little" secret: sometimes silence IS golden. *Wink*

Back in Action

Hellooo my darlings!
