Kids will be kids!

People say kids will be kids/ boys will be boys but when does that go to far. Being a parent of a five year old I understand that children do things that the parent does not agree with and many times know nothing about. Once this happens and is brought to our attention it is our job to teach them better. When my child has come home talking about children picking with or hitting her I have always told her to let the teachers know and ask her what the teachers say in respond. Most of the time the teachers don't do enough to stop the situation so I step in to speak to them and if that doesn't work the parent of the child. This is no different when it comes to family members. I expect brothers,sisters, cousins etc. to keep their children in line and not let them beat on each because they are family. Why raise little bullies, thugs, and gangsters and be happy about it? I am raising a lady but I will not allow her to be pushed over and walked on. That being said I think along with horse back riding, ballet, and tea parties she needs some karate and kick boxing. I have given the world a chance to raise their children now I must raise mine. I felt bad telling my daughter today after she came home from her dads house with bite marks on her from yesterday that if someone hit, bite, or do anything to her to do it back to them if they have continued to do these things to her. What are your thoughts? Be blessed..........

Abstinence after 25, is it possible?

Abstinence is the practice of not having sex at all. This can be done before or after losing your virginity. In the society that we live in now it is very unlikely to find people who practice abstinence especially over the age of 25. People practice abstinence for different reasons, religious, birth control, waiting for the right person etc. I choose abstinence for me. I feel that most people choose to have sex for all of the wrong reasons myself being one of them. Now that I am older and wiser I plan to do what I want to do to make me happy. I feel that by doing this I will grow stronger as a women and find the man that deserves me and not one that wants what I have to offer. I am a 25 year old soon to be divorced mother of two who have decided to start on this journey by remaining abstinent until I get married and if I never get married again then for the rest of my life. It is time to start living for me and I invite you on this journey. I know it won't be easy but it will be a adventure! Be blessed............

Learning to live by love!

I have been hurt so much in the past year that I felt that all I could do is to hurt those that have hurt me. I am going to be the first to tell you I had the wrong game plan. I have not been hurting no one but myself because being this mean evil person was never me. when someone hurts you it is very easy to try to hurt them back but sometimes the easy thing is not always the best. With the help of God, my Lord and savior Jesus Christ, authors like Rhonda Byrnes, and multiple pastors I feel that I am on my way back from the hurt that I found myself in for so many years now. I have found that I am in control over what happens in my life even the bad things and I vow not to let anyone hurt me again. This does not mean that they will not try but it means that I am on such a higher frequency that it won't affect me. I am growing stronger daily and will not allow Lupus, domestic violence, people using me, negative family, fake friends or anything else to affect my life. I am HAPPY, HEALTHY, WISE! I pray that you all be blessed!

Why?

As you research domestic violence you see so many organizations that are out to not let a friends memory die by paying a died victims funerals or student loans wth.........there is not enough to help the women get out and stay out of these situations I understand from my family first hand that they did what they did out of "respect" for me for those who knew but what I realize now is that we don't need our family and friends "respect" for our relationships we need your support to get out of them and not turn back we need fire under our ass to let us know that we have people that will stand up against this with us mentally, physically, and financially. I want to help the women who need help getting out and staying out God bless the souls for all who have lost their lives because lord knows I was almost one of them but who is going to fight for us who are still here....I am and I ask that all those people who would have showed up to my funeral to cry and think about all the good and bad times we had fight with me! Those who would have cried for my baby losing a mother, my mother losing a child, my sister's and brothers losing a sister fight with me because I am still here and I would rather keep fighting then to give in! I am still not completely through this situation but I know that with support I soon will be.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month!

I have always loved purple never knew that two things that I never choose for my life and that I have learned to care so much about would be represented by this color Lupus Awareness and Domestic Violence Awareness......One ribbon two causes! Seek help if going through domestic violence I know first hand it is easier said then done but step out on faith not only for you but for everyone who truly loves you!

The last time I felt normal I was wearing purple for lupus awareness month in May now hopefully I can get back to being normal as I wear purple again for Domestic violence awareness month this month.

May 24th this year I almost lost my life at the hands of someone I love I came out with only a fractured tail bone but I thank God for my life. It is a struggle everyday for me to break this chain that I feel holding on to me so tightly. Domestic violence is real and not only does physical harm but mental harm as well. I lived through this for the last 6 years of my life and will deal with the hurt maybe forever. October is domestic violence awareness month and I plan to do all I can so that no one ever have to go through what I went through and is still going through right now!

Godparents, Does your Child/you have true ones!

Hello, World

My sister posted something on Facebook today that I feel should be addressed. She asked what are Godparents. That to me was very deep. Me being a mother of a four year old daughter this touched home for me because I have never asked anyone to be my child Godparents and people that have asked I have not agreed to. This is because a God parent meant so much more to me then just a tittle. When you are a Godparent it is just as important as being a parent. You have to invest in that child's life as if they were your own because once you are given that tittle they are your own. You have to be willing to step in if anything is to happen to that parent and even if that parent is still around you must be a huge asset in that child's life. A Godparent is so much more then giving your Godchild that new outfit and pair of Jordan's. You have to give knowledge, love, understanding. A Godparent actually steams from a religious background in Christianity. A Godparent was/is someone who sponsors a child baptism. A great excerpt that I found that explained it perfectly was on Wiki "Traditionally, godparents were informally responsible for ensuring the child's religious education was carried out, and for caring for the child should he/she be orphaned. Today, the word godparent might not have explicitly religious overtones. The modern view of a godparent tends to be an individual chosen by the parents to take an interest in the child's upbringing and personal development"
