Minding My Own Business

Wow… Its been a while since my last post, but I must get back at it! Below is a post shared with my Facebook family today.

Daily, My motive is never to boast or belittle, but to humbly motivate, inspire, and invite people to explore being open minded about their life && even perhaps entertain the idea living on their own terms…. I too need encouragement and fall weak at times… As a matter of fact,
One of my many mentors –Dr. Brad Bellard told me — “You’re already a winner — YOU just have to believe in YOU and enjoy YOUR process/ journey!  ”

What stuck out for me was “MY JOURNEY / MY PROCESS” !!  The belief is there… The struggle came when making comparisons… I was forced to realize that My path wont be identical to the ones who found success  before me… While the end result may be identical –the “journey” will vary….

In life we get WAY TOOO caught up on what HE/SHE is doing on the right and left of us—forgetting that our path is STRAIGHT ahead…. Looking from side to side implies you arent fully focused on your own track and could be the reason your train is derailed…

Learning to Mind my own business may have just been one of the most valuable lesson I’ve learned this year so far… lol (In addition to all of the lessons learned while meditating on the book of Proverbs…)

** You know minding your own business PERIOD is pretty awesome too — Less stress lol … lol #sidenote

Any whoooo — The world is OURS! Lets go see and claim what belongs to us! Stay the course, embrace YOUR journey– and mind your business!

God truly gets all the glory… ❤

Real Quick — The Root — Cont’d (My thoughts)

After writing yesterday – I fell into deep thought — That post made me want to elaborate further–I am full of questions.  I asked myself” Why are violent people violent??” — The man/women beaters…  Violence is not only physical– verbal –and emotional violence hurt just as bad… I wonder was there some form of aggression displayed towards and/or around them in their adolescence?? How does one pick up habits that they aren’t or hadn’t been previously exposed to??

Root == the foundation of one’s very existence… Who you are — base on experiences  and/or encounters … My opinion… What do you think about the root?? Your root??

Before finding out the root — you must first identify and accept there are internal issues/ blemishes… Right? No one is perfect… Right??

 People… Why are you the way you are?? Why are WE the way we are??

What are your underlying issues??

The root…

Have you ever wondered why there are prostitutes,  whinos, drug dealers, or any other morally corupt individuals?  Are you one of those people? Under cover maybe? Mmmm think loooong and hard on that?

If you answered no, ask yourself the following series of questions— have you ever lied? Have you ever slept with someone expecting anything in return–even if it was just love — to be a prostitute you not only do sexual acts in exchange for money/a little change, you could also be doing it for love, a car, a house,& ect… Have you ever gone to the doctor, been prescribed meds and shared them with a friend or family memeber?-mmmm…

I think we all have fallen short/guilty to some unclean/immoral acts at one time or another.  We may still be in the act…

But–why?

Why do people do things that they aren’t proud of?

Don’t you think there is a root to our actions?

Somewhere at sometime, something occurred to make us feel a void or emptiness, that drugs, sex, the opposite sex, and other things help to fill (temporarily)

Is it abandonment?  Is/was it lack of love?

What is your root?

Think about it…

As I sit…

Sitting here on the bike at the gym… its approximately 5:37 am.. Yes AM!! I’m just as shocked as you are…

Back to my point for writing… I just noticed that when you are doing something you really don’t want to do or some place you would rather not be, your mind starts to wonder about things that would normally be far fetched.

I.e. Getting a hot guy here at the gym. Lol — See what I mean by far fetched???    With this body? Phhhaaahhhhhhaaa…. NEVER. LOL..

My mind even went back home to my bed.. I’ve even taken a quick trip to Florida, Cali, and ATL. On these trips I pictured myself in a 2 piece swim suit. Lol –The only two piece I’ve owned or had in my possession is two piece leg and thigh from the local chicken shack. Really…

I guess the moral of This post is, “NEVER workout in the AM. Lol” IF you do, you must  be in sound mind. Lol

Please excuse any grammatical errors… I’m attempting to write as I go up a hill. Lol

Well, enough foolishness for now..

Times Have Changed…

Heeelllllooooo my loves!!!!

I only logged on to express how much I miss how things used to be…. Work used to be better… Love used to be better…. People used to be better… The world used to be better… Period!

Some of you are probably wondering, “What the hell is this girl talking about?” —- Well, allow me to elaborate briefly… I miss how things used to be in my life.  I remember when I used to wake up and knew I was going to a job where I was “kinda” valued— where I had not only a good team of individuals to work with –but a GREAT team of individuals who went to work feeling just the way I felt… I recall a time where life was at least the slightest bit interesting and full of excitement.  Nooooow===== I can not say the same….

I believe it is time to get back to feeling those feelings I once felt.

How about WE all get back to those feelings??? I know there is something you miss…. We owe it to ourselves to be happy on this earth we live on… Are you living with purpose and meeting (if not exceeding) your full potential?? If no, get up— RIGHT now— and make up your mind that you will LIVE, not just be alive…

Well— now that we all feel empowered— Its time for bed…

5 am will be here before I know it… Can’t miss my work out with sissy in the am… 🙂

I love you all!!!

<3Keisha

PS: My prayers go out to my great friend Jazz and her family… I cannot imagine how losing a child feels, but please know that I love you and no matter what—I am HERE… God NEVER makes mistakes and he will NEVER put more on us than we can bear!  R.I.P Baby Sydnee Miller…   ❤ ❤ ❤  I love you!

What Have I Been Up To???–Tidbit

Are you ladies and gents happy to hear I’m back???

It has been an extremely busy past few months.  I need to find more time to balance writing and going through th usual daily tasks…

Any whoooo…. Baking, work, and life have been pretty good lately.  As usual, love has been of none existence…. I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that im at a point in my life where love doesn’t fit… Yes, I said it… It doesn’t fit… I will find time to love when I have all of my ducks in a row.  Sound weird?? I must make certain that I am first and foremost— “THE BEST ME” that I have the potential to be BEFORE attempting to offer a terribly put together individual to a man of “GREAT” status(which is a must for me)… Really.. Think about it… Who really wants someone who doesn’t have it together and you feel you are the total package?? Yuuuuck…. I know many people feel that two people should be able to grow together, which is true to a degree.  The piece that most miss is that without a foundation, the two would have absolutely nothing to build on…. As Madea would say, ” Chiiiiile, I can do bad all by myself…”  What would two people still “trying” to get it together be doing for and with one another?? Nothing but wasting time… ooooor maaaaybe “SEX”… —- However, there comes a time when sex becomes one element that enhances a relationship, not defines it…. Me, myself, I can run without the stimulating act… When the time is perfect ooor at least right, that awesome prince will come and make himself known… until then—– work now and play later  it is!!!!

Whoa– didn’t intend on taking this post there(that topic is clearly one for another post–on another day), but I had to touch on my reasons for being single… It’s definitily a choice— not because I’m not a hot commodity… ❤ hehehe 🙂

Moving right along— I’ve updated the other pages here on my blog— to include a little about my weight loss and baking… Check those out….

To come, I will begin giving out natural hair tips and or updates as well–since I have been getting tons of inbox messages on Facebook regarding my hair regimens and products I use daily.  Watch for those… 🙂

I must get out of here — this one is pretty short, but –trust me– there will be more to come… I have toooons to discuss with  you all! 🙂

❤ Keisha –yep I know better!

 

 

I Remember When…

… things used to be real/genuine…

All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.
-Ellen Glasgow

Sitting here reminiscing on how things used to be…  It’s funny that as young as I am–things for me have changed drastically…

Do you all remember the times when  “liking” someone was the “in” thing ?? Or even the times when those sweet words, “I love you” rolling off of someone’s lips-really meant something???  It was as if there was no strings attached to the love that I was once able to feel… No one would be waiting for any special treatment in return…  Then it was as if breathing was much easier with the old love…  That love made us inseparable… As if that love could concur all and withstand all adversities…

Love as I remember it was refreshing, rejuvenating, warm, compromising, considerate, genuine, filling, and so true…

Instead of having that once refreshing love — it’s as if now, I can’t really feel… Could this be?? Is this possible? Could I be numb?

I hope not because, I so miss the anxiousness I once felt when my love would call, text, or even be in my presence… I miss the butterflies that once lived inside the pit of my belly when I would even think of my love…

What to do? Find that love?? Continue waiting for that long lost love to reveal himself to me once more?? –>or should I consider that feeling lone gone??

**sigh**

“There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.”

–George Sand

*I couldn’t agree more with the quote above…**

Come back butterflies… I will be waiting… 🙂

TGIF…

Am I the only one thanking God its finally Friday??

This week has been extremely long and full of emotions for me…

Allow me to fill you in! 🙂

Monday: -Bad/busy day at work… (But ever so grateful for that thing we call a J.O.B) :)Oh and lets not forget school…

Tuesday: A loooooooong day of work and school…

Wednesday: Work- grocery shopping- and- then I ran round to locate “only” the best shoes ever! #winning (Vilbram shoes RoCk!)

Thursday: Work and of course — however, it got better with a relaxing evening of mani(s) and pedi(s) with the parental… I love my mama!

Friday:  >>>TODAY!<<< Finally! — Work… and later I will be baking away in the kitchen since I have orders to deliver tomorrow…Then I will get ready for the March on Greenville–St.Paddy’s Day 5k! It should be extremely fun and quite draining, as I haven’t been actively engaged in exercise in a while… Wish me luck! Better yet, pray for me! lol

***Guess I shall rest when I am dead… Until then, God let my days be full of happiness and great cheer!***

It may sound as if I am complaining — but believe me– I am sooooooooo grateful for where God has brought me from <<and>> for those things he has blessed me with… Unlike others, I am not ashamed to give honor and reverence where it is due… Breath and life isn’t at all promised to any of us and we should NOT only cherish those around, but thank God for his many blessings! 🙂

Well enough for now…

Until next time,—> May the Lord watch between me and the while we are absent one from another… Amen…

❤ ❤ ❤ Keisha ❤ ❤ ❤
