What are you waiting for?
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know
I want to be able as days go by
Always to look myself straight in the eye
I don't want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I have done
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself
I don't want to fool myself as I come and go
Into thinking that nobody else will know
I don't want to hide behind blinded eyes
I do not wish to live a lie
I want to go out with my head erect
I want to deserve other people's respect
Here in the struggle for fame and pelf
I want to be able to like myself
I don't want to think as I come and go
That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show
I never can hide myself from me
I see what others may never see
I know what others may never know
I never can fool myself - - And so
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free.
Finding myself was the first key
For I can be no one else you see
Accepting myself has set me free
To be the woman I am meant to be.
I have this one copyrighted.
Thank You for dropping by.

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories..
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu-Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.
17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front.
21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important. Ladies.....quit laughing. We've Always known they think with the wrong head!!!
25. Heal the past, live the present, dream the future.
To Love
Love yourself, the Universe and Everyone in it! Feel the gentle soft divine presence that naturally flows from the center of your being. Connect it with every thought, thing, and person that your mind conceives.
To Awaken
Realize that you are intimately connected to the Universal Source. Know that this energy is the center of you! There is no separation. That is the illusion. Entertaining the illusion is what perpetuates suffering. You instantly heal yourself by honoring the fact that the Universal Source is your very core essence.
To Heal
Forgive yourself and others for forgetting that this is all a grand master play. Deepen yourself in compassion for everyone who threatens you, criticizes you, or shreds your ego in anyway, for they are craving love. Having compassion for others will enable you to forgive yourself one day. You deserve to be free from any pain or tension you are carrying around.
To Enjoy
Celebrate this divine opportunity to love who and what you are! Self gratitude will heal and release any pain or delusion from your past. You're here to enjoy this gift of life immensely!
Start by expanding all your ideas about who you think you are and drop into the relaxed grounded center of who you really are. By exploring these purposes of your life you will discover your essential nature which is unlimited, divine, all powerful, highly intelligent, manifesting energy.
Namaste'

I choose to live by choice, not by chance; to make changes, not excuses; to be motivated and not manipulated; to be useful, not used. I choose self-esteem, not self-pity; to listen to my inner voice, not the random opinions of others... If you do not like something I say or do, get over it or delete me. I am a single, grown woman and I certainly do not need your approval!!! I am not conceited, nor am I convinced. I am Confident in myself and the person that I have become. I hold my head high because there are too many that would love to see me fall. What those people fail to realize is the fact that I fall often, I just learned how to get back up a long time ago!!!
It is not my past that defines me, It is how I got through it and who I am today!! Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. I am determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; because I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren’t so busy denying them... Acceptance and accountability are the first steps to free you from yourself.
It takes strength to be firm, It takes courage to be gentle, strength to conquer - courage to surrender, strength to be certain - courage to have doubt, strength to fit in - courage to stand out, strength to feel a friend’s pain - courage to feel your own, strength to endure abuse - courage to stop it, strength to stand alone - courage to lean on another, strength to love - courage to be loved, strength to survive - courage to live. You will never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. Just remember, God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight...
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Do what is right and you will always be both, humble and proud... Although not every choice you make is about directions, all choices will influence where you end up... Just remember this... It's never difficult to make decisions when you know what your values are.
Stop let people’s compliments go to your head and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart. The degree to which you do either of these things, is the degree to which you’ll be ruled by what other people think of you. IE... I could honestly care less what someone's opinion is who does not know me. My suggestion would be... Before you judge my life, my past or my character... Walk in my shoes, walk the path I have traveled, live my sorrow, my abuse, my doubts, my fear , my pain and my laughter! Remember, "Judge not lest ye be judged." Everyone has their own story! When you've lived my life, then you can judge me!
And lastly ... My new-found Mantra = The only way to deal with a world enslaved in hate and ignorance is to become so absolutely open and free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. And I seem to be doing a good job at that these days!!!
Namaste'
