How and What do You Dream - Part 2

Some people dream and don’t even realize it, so after now knowing how you dream, before you can even get to the point of what do you dream you have to realize and understand what is happening for this process to occur.

Pulling a quote that Oprah Winfrey once said “ The key to realizing a dream is to not focus on success but on significance- and then even the small steps along your path will take on greater meaning."
So many people have dreams and positive desires to be this and that and do this and that and the majority think “oh that’s impossible, that could never happen or that could never be me” but reality is you are only holding yourself back! Your dreams don’t have to be as extensive as becoming the President of the USA one day, they could be as small as being a healthy person or incorporating physical activity in your lifestyle. God knows that I would never dream of being president of the USA, (but maybe president of my own company some day), but I do have desire of becoming an author. As far fetch as that may seem to some, I know that I am on the path of having my dream come true. Creating and maintaining this blog was a small step for me and its feels like one of the greatest moments of my life. I know that negativity will only steer me away and believe me I’ve been tested, so I press on to be positive and I create opportunities of positivity.
So whatever your dreams or desires may be, keep that positive outlook in life, surround yourself with positive people and opportunities to get you one step closer to your dreams. Cherish and appreciate the blessings, put towards your effort and look forward to the next day and the next step or your dreams.

How and What Do You Dream?

I pulled this post from a website that I visited not long ago and thought it was pretty interesting and  might help with understanding my purpose more. To read the full post by the original blogger visit here.
""Twice this week I've been asked the same question. Coincidence? Probably not.


"How do you dream like that?"

It's rather simple. I just never envision things in "the now." If you filter dreams through what your current status is, is that really a dream? Or is it an analysis? There's a distinct difference between the two.

One of the things that most people do is stop dreaming. The moment you stop dreaming is the moment you begin dying. The longer you stop dream, the harder it is to revive you.

Dreams are important. You must dream.

Here are a few simple steps that I take to dream:

1. I stop. In order to start to envision a better life, a better world, a better you - you've got to remove yourself from it. You can't do that if you're still moving about. As Asagai said in "A Raisin In The Sun," - "Just sit a while and think..."

2.Let go. How can you dream effectively if what you're envisioning is tied to conditions? You've got to dream the goal first - and worry about the details later. That's the whole purpose of dreaming. It's about going to a place that doesn't exist currently. It's about seeing a life that you don't currently have yet. It's about seeing the nice bank account that really isn't there yet. Who cares about HOW you'll get there - or WHAT you'll do to get there. First just get an idea of what THERE looks like. Dream about THERE. In order to do that - let go. Clear you mind of all of the conditional stuff that you think you need to be tied to...let go.
3. Dream BIG and OFTEN. Dreams are just that - dreams. Why put a limit on them? If you're going to dream, it might as well be big, right? Dreams are one of the many things that you don't have to limit - they're unconditional. The only thing preventing you from dreaming big and often, is you. Remove you from the equation, or rather what prevents you, and then you're free to dream the unthinkable. You're free to dream what you could never imagine. You're free to dream what you've never been able to physically see. And do it often. It's like with anything in life, the more you do it, the easier it becomes.

What do I dream about? A few things...""

The Lovely Things in Life- Week 10

Widgets, widgets and widgets!

My son's report card!

My first follower!

This is another week of limited lovliness that I can actually brag about! Maybe more next time.

Until then what are your lovely things in life?

This Is Me, Who Are You?

I am me, myself and I, like no other women. But never better than the next. I love me and you! I am a Christian and God fearing woman and continuously working on my faith. I am a woman of many characteristics but my character does not change. Don’t hate me if I appear standoffish, I’ve learned through the years that it’s hard to trust another woman, and that trust has to be created and practiced, usually not at first sight. I do not have stupid written across the top of my forehead, but can you believe that some people think I do? I’ll admit I can be naive at times because it’s hard for me to believe that others can be so stupid, not that they have it written across their forehead….I am not perfect and I don’t strive to because that’s not realistic. I am a very curious woman, too nosy at times, but who isn’t, who doesn’t want to know? I can forgive and along with that goes forgetting. If you chose to purposely hurt me or cause problems with me, I will forgive you and then FORGET you ever existed. I don’t like to be taken advantage of, again I ask who does? I am not ashamed of anything that has ever happened in my life. I have moved past the negative things and I’m living my dream each and every day. A miserable day is part of living my dream, because it makes the next day even better. I am a hard worker, often working too hard, but very proud of my career and my position in life. I am a great wife, a real life black wife with a real life black man and a beautiful family. I know my duties and I hold my position with all my might. I love my family hard, so don’t mess with them either. I am also a great sister, daughter, aunt, cousin, daughter in law and niece. I am forgetful at times, forgetting familiar faces, important dates, holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions, but God knows my heart and I ask of forgiveness at times for things that I know not what I do. I love reality shows, from the Family Crews to Tiny and Toya, because they are not afraid to show there ups and downs, rights and wrongs and different experiences in life. I like real people who go through real life situations. The people I hang around are a reflection of me, I will not keep bad company. I am evolving in so many ways. I can be reserved at times, just sitting back and observing. I am learning etiquette something that was not taught in my neighborhood as a child growing up, but that doesn’t mean I’m acting white or boogie, just that I’m versatile for whatever situation I may encounter. I’m learning style, my own style, getting to know me better and better each day, so excuse me if I don’t dress like you. I’m learning patience and how to expect the unexpected. I am not keeping up with the Jones, or the Thomas’s or Davis’s. If we like the same lamp or color paint in our kitchen, so be it, why hate? This is a overview of me, myself and I and I feel it’s time to let people know.

Who are you?

My First Follower!

I want to give a special shout out to my sister Maelean for following me on my Blog! I love you and appreciate having you as a sister. You are so important in my life and the hundreds of miles apart we are will never come between us. In honor of you I want to dedicate this special poem to you. Keep taking good care of my little nieces and nephew and by the way call me back! (lol)

This is for you!

Before I start I must say I searched high and low, website to website, but no poem or words could express how much you mean to me. So here I go freestyle…




There’s so much love in my heart


That I don’t quite know where to start


Sister, the apple of my eye


I love you with all my might


We have grown and evolved in many ways


Oh how I remember the days


You are a reflection of me


And never ashamed of your versatility


You’re a beautiful women, much more than a friend


So up to God, my blessings I send


I don’t have to hide my feeling or put on a disguise


Which makes me so very grateful for having you in my life


I’m not a poet just your Sister and best friend


So unfortunately this poem I must end!



I dedicate this poem to show how much you mean to me.

I Love You!

A Prayer for Cancer

Lately, not a week goes by without hearing about the serious obstacles that another life dear to me faces. Please cherish your time and life because the next day is not promised to you. Pray for the strength of those that have serious health issues to face day in and day out.

As a cancer survivor myself, I know the pain and suffering that these women will go through. This is not just a physical pain, it will affect every aspect of their emotional well being also. But I know just like myself that with our Savior Jesus Christ on their side, they will too make it through also.

Dear Lord Jesus our Divine Healer. In your goodness and kindness, please intercede for Diane, Sue and Niomi who is suffering from cancer.

If it is God's will, I ask that this day, the gift of healing be granted to Diane, Sue and Niomi. Comfort them during times of unbearable pain, and Lord Jesus grant them peace and patience in suffering. You are the Miracle Worker and I ask you to look in favor of these suffering hearts. Quickly and completely restore them to health. Intercede with them so that they do not face there pain alone. Give them the healing remedies that may benefit them while they are sick. I ask your blessing upon the prescribed medicine so they may experience healing.

Let restoration take place in the lives of these young women, in Jesus Mighty Name AMEN!
