Is it not the simple things that matter the most. The sight of a baby smiling… the comforting feeling which comes from being around an old friend… the feeling felt from the slightest touch or tender embrace of someone you … Continue reading Simplicity
One may define Maturity as the state of being fully developing in body and mind; showing the mental and emotional qualities of an adult. Being mature is all about how you think, and how your thoughts influence your actions. It … Continue reading Maturity: Still Growing
Everything worth having comes at a price. There are some who only see value in $ dollar amounts, but everything has value. Your time, your attention, your effort, your ideas, your abilities, your talents, or a compliment you give to someone… all these things have value. Even your presence is valuable. People will pay you just to sit in a seat and do nothing. I feel that my time is the most valuable thing to me. It’s said that about 300 people move to Los Angeles every day, and in spending the last 2 years living in Hollywood and downtown … Continue reading The Cost of Success
It is now the beginning of May. In a few weeks the season of Spring will end, and summer will be upon us; and the year which is 2014 will be halfway over. As I take a step back to think about all that has happened in the last few months of my life, though I know that I’m blessed, I really feel as if I should be further along in my pursuit of happiness. So what does that mean “…I should be further along in my pursuit of happiness”? It means that I feel life for me can be … Continue reading What Is It That You Seek?
What are the general qualities present in those who have the best relationships? I would obviously think that LOVE is the key to any successful relationship; however, since everyone has their own interpretations of what love is, and also their own opinion of what they deem attractive, it is reasonable to assume that we all have different qualities we look for in a girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse/life-partner/whoever… 🙂 As I was lying in my bed tonight I thought to myself, “I haven’t been intimate with anyone since my last relationship, which was about 6 months ago.” And, some may say that’s a long … Continue reading Relationship Qualifications
Ok… are you ready for a little openness, a little honesty, some candid thoughts and feelings, and a lot of REAL Talk. Because I know I’m ready for anything that’s real. I’m so tired of fake people and meaningless actions. Life is serious, so I feel we should treat it that way. 2013 for me was about coming into myself, going through matters of unexpected issues, trusting in God, and it was also a year of relationships ending, beginning, and ending again. In the middle of the year I faced a very serious situation with my best friend at the … Continue reading Relationships in 2014
It’s January 2014, and I honestly have to say that this year doesn’t feel like last year nor the year before. I was speaking with a friend tonight and she echoed my sentiment that this year has a feeling of great expectations or accomplishments. It’s like this year will be blessed, as if the stars are aligning and hard work is yielding it’s rewards in this year. However, it is only a few days into the year and I’m just getting over some major issues that have been affecting me in my personal relationship with my girlfriend, I just was … Continue reading 2014 Another New Year
In our generation, there are very few people who have received the same worldwide recognition and respect as Nelson Mandela. His recent death in the past week caused me to be inquisitive of his life; and I had to sit and ask myself, “How much do I really know about him at all?”. I believe that the average person doesn’t know his true life story, nor the real story of how he became all that he was: respected politician, philanthropist, President of South Africa, South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Well, at least I know that I don’t … Continue reading Maya Angelou’s Poetic Tribute to Nelson Mandela
Time. It’s one of the few things that once it’s used, you can never get it back. In most cases time is something that can’t be given, it only can be taken away; and it can’t be bought, because if … Continue reading TIME: What will you do with it?
I’ve been thinking about LIFE and how so many people have a different perspective on how to live it… now, that may not seem like that means anything, but I promise you that most people wake up every morning and go about their day without giving ample thought or consideration to the things which are the most meaningful in their own life. “So what exactly have you been thinking about”… you may ask? For the last few days I have been thinking on several issues that many Christians, specifically, have various opinions on;Â and I just wanted to discuss my opinions … Continue reading Christians: REAL TALK
