2010 is my friend!

Happy New Year folks! Ok, its the 6th, but I had to give you a new years shout to start it off right, especially on a better note than the blog prior. I'm all about love in 2010, though I'm always about love :-) I just mean that I want to encourage as well as exhibit all things positive into my life and in reflection of my being!

Ok so here's something I wrote 2 years Ago as the new year (2008 at the time) approached, but I found it interesting that everything I said still applies. Feel it, feel me:

Just a year and 4 months ago, which seemed to fly by so fast, I took a leap of faith and moved to Atlanta, GA, one of the biggest, most courageous things I've ever done in my life...and alone at that. Upon first moving, I cried my eyes out thinking of everyone I would miss, and as time passed and I became adjusted, I also acknowledge how homesick I was, but in that I realize it wasn't home (the place, because home itself will always be there) that I missed the most, but more so the people; everyone dearest to my heart, the friends and family that I will never forget. Yet, in the same thought, I gained motivation to seriously pursue all that I felt valuable and meaningful in the life I wanted to build for myself, hoping that everyone would be with me every step of the way in soul and spirit, serving as much needed support. I have now become quite comfortable here, despite anything that has tried to deter my direction of positivity and new beginnings. I'm not saying Atlanta will be my ultimate "home," but its worth thinking about. To be honest, that decision all boils down to finances and what Atlanta can truly offer me career wise. For now, I dig the relaxed hospitable feel of Atlanta, the welcoming spirits of the people in general, at least the people i chose to surround myself around. I just want my friends to visit me, get a feel of the city, and hopefully find some inspiration to move, if not here, somewhere where they can expand on their goals and aspirations, versus feeling stuck and/or not being brave enough to chase their dreams. I know the courage it takes to leave all familiarity, but that is the beauty of the experience, trust me. Life will always dish out its blows, but we must never forget the time we should take out to breath and let go of all the stresses that often distract us from where we really need to be in life.


And now, its merely the 2nd month into the new year, and my optimism and prayers have set me on a new path towards more productivity that all I can do is embrace. I feel it deep down inside that this year is going to be a great one for everyone, as long as we are true to ourselves, true to our goals, and remain in an appreciative, blessed and grateful spirit, all of our desires will prosper this year! Its time for change and I feel it coming, I'm welcoming it, for I am very hopeful and open to the new possibilities that God (and I) have planned as a part of my life. As each day passes and new memories are created, I take time to reflect on who has been brought into my life and for what reasons...I am appreciative to have EVERY SINGLE PERSON that I've met, and more importantly those that remain, because you all have helped in some way shape or form to create and further masterpiece the making of me! Positive or negative influences, they all equate to the necessary laws of attractions, aligning my desires with reality.

Again, let's focus and make 08 GREAT in the most memorable and life changing way possible. Let's do more networking and less hating on each other. Let's recycle more black dollars and show appreciation for the skills in others. Let's let go of grudges, letdowns, and anything in disagreement with our paths to success. Let's grow up and really take care of ourselves and responsibilties. Let's say no to things that we second guess and trust our first minds, our inner voice, our daimon. Let's remember to spread love and tell loved ones how we feel each day. There's no better time than the current to make a change towards what will ultimately make YOU happy..."Headed in the right direction, I can see the light of day. I've got faith and intuition, there's no need for me to be afraid..." India Arie lyrics that popped in my head and seemed fitting for the moment (I hope everyone that knows the song sang that aloud as did lol)....on that note, peace, much love, and prosperity for everyone reading this! Lets get get get it!!!

"Its been a looong, a long time comin', but I knoooow, change gon' come..." another fitting song (Sam Cooke) lol...peace! :-)

Ok, so there's my long ass New Years spill, which inspires me each time i re-read it. Below is also a collage I created when I was in LA for the Holidays...you'll find that I LOVE collaging, its so liberating for me, it always feels like the perfect pieces to my puzzle of thoughts. The clippings are from some random magazines i found at my Granny's house and they all speak directly to me and my 2010 outlook. I took the color out because my lighting sucked and so did the picture i took, but i wanted to share it anyway and I actually like it in black and white, it enhances the message versus the look. Anyway, enjoy, peace and many blessings for you in this new year!
