I really was hesitant to write about this on my blog. The content seemed a bit dark and well not the news topic I wanted to write about on Awesome. But I couldn't help it. I was compelled because I thought for all the steps one would take on their pedometer, in some places, it would begin once you took the elevator to the 2nd floor hmmm. Getting to the point- I realized how easy it was for a women to be in the stairwell of a hospital and not be found until several days or weeks afterwards, and that's because many health professionals at hospitals don't take the stairs. What!!!!! That's right long gone are the days for steps you once trekked in jr. high, high school and college. So what if something is wrong with elevator well there must be a plan C because plan B is likely not the steps. To be fair I can understand why you'd monitor the steps and the hospitals. They should be. Good security never hurts. However, to not know the diagram or layout makes my eyes wide

IF you have a need express it IF you have the light of life, share it with someone. TO share time is to let your soul touch and be touched by someone else.

Sometimes if you sit back and observe you notice a lot of things. This one observation seems to be true. If your husband listens to everyone but you , is extremely slow on his ability to respond, thinks he has all the  answers to what you think without ever consulting you or saying a single word to you in important regards...There is a problem. It's a major problem and you can best believe he hasn't factored you in the equation at all. If he's unable to communicate how he feels directly to you...That's an even bigger issue because you're the one who's hurt by those type of actions. Other people can say I'm sorry, I didn't know. But you live with those decisions and then have to try and see if there's enough in the relationship to work your way back. Boom!!! If you aren't talking to your other half, your helpmate, your support system you've likely made so many wrong decisions that she's doubtful on where she factors in. Now if he

So tell me how do you define love without words, physical touch, etc... is there such a thing? If so, how do you express it. Is it one-sided or shared. How do you communicate intimacy... Thoughts on making the connection. Love check

Moments in Love (Reflections by Taneisa Grier) Real & true love isn't sacrificial. Only fools choose to loose time for tomorrows that aren't promised. It's our "todays" love that even carries us to the future love. Find me a "man" who’s experienced health and prosperity and see if he discounts love as being a measure of that blessing. To each its own though. But for me-bid me a love that is true and sweet. A memory of a portion of "good" love may seem like forever in a short span of time. The feeling never leaving and the essence of a touch, though fading still remembered.   "I traced his steps back to the place" where I first exhaled and realized the beauty of this moment is in the feelings that I carry away after the exchange. If fleeting, we might call it lust. But if this pure moment is lasting, we have just seen the love of God in each of us, mirrored reflection of "on earth as it is in heaven". Might I be

You're life is an extension of the people you are closely connected to. Of course there is personal and professional connections but the point is to understand the connection. Often time we make assumptions about one another without taking the time to know the other. Many pride themselves in doing so. However, you have to take ownership of your life and say what am I connected to? How does this affect my life? What is the benefit or detraction of this exposure? Most times it's great and that's the way it should be. After all this is your life. These type evaluations are likely a bother to those who aren't invested in the total sum of your life. That's why you have the assessments in the first place. Keep in mind you don't go around asking everyone "are we important to each other-you sit still and observe). As I said, your life is the total sum of those you are around most. It's simple and practical math. It's also things I've mentioned before.

Looking to settle your life, remain steady on the path, and remove the weighted down cares of everything that is not conducive to positive living... get quiet and see if you are still aligned with your dreams and where it is taking you. I always say, there is only one Christ. We are not him so throw perfection out and seek the better part of you in quietness that might lead you to the other side of better, love, and joy. This is as much for me today as it is for those of you who may read today's post.

To the Graduate and Those who are Fulfilling Vision Very rarely do I address the graduate and the seasoned individuals (veterans of life as I call them) at the same time. However, this year I felt lead to do so. Mainly because those who endured through struggles and challenges may find themselves embarking on similar experiences as those several years younger. Perhaps it’s not a matter of recession at all but you’re at the next level of blessing in your life. Whatever the case, you are living through your vision. You’ll hear that word several times in this post because it’s apropos to the season of life we’re in. Some might argue we should always be living in our vision.  Often times when someone’s vision or zest for life is vibrant we live vicariously through that person’s experiences. In close friendships and family relationships the same is true but it’s more like sharing your life with someone because at the heart of the relationship is love. However, the most ex

I've been absent from this blog and I know its been far too long. I would call my absence a sabbatical except that it wasn't. I suppose it could be considered down time...-transition might be a better word actually. It was certainly time that left me with much to ponder and wonder. Truth be told I'm full of "lots to say" but wanting to carefully craft my thoughts into something "marketable" has me planning the direction of my post. For me marketable just means I want to appeal to my audience in a way that's tangible. Of course that lasted all of a few seconds up until I started writing this post because today I'm pensive, I'm full and need to release. For all the topics I have planned I still find that I'm going off script. The deviation so strong that it must be something needed in the atmosphere or perhaps my need for expression is stronger. Humbly I'll accept the latter. I needed to blog as much as this empty page needed to be fill

Ever had someone tell you what you thought or felt. It's a very poor form of communication. When this happens take time to understand the line of thinking of the individual. Important relationships are worth the direct approach in having a clear understanding.

The New Year is one week in and students who didn't attend fall semester are preparing for Spring and Summer 2013. Many are still unsure of the process and need guidance to take that first leap. If your child or student seeks questions and receives an informed answer but still does not seem to know the next step, it may be a sign that they're not ready for a full course load and may need to take a class or two to prepare for full enrollment into a university. Moving past the bravado of "I'm an adult" into humility with confidence is really the next step for those who show a bit of hesitation. If you get the, I'm not trying to "offend" you lingo from your student who has taken the "I need to verify what you say" approach-it could be largely due to the need for reassurance more than it is information. Don't be fooled by I look like I'm already an adult syndrome. It has made many students crash in the first semester. Instead counter

Here's to great year of things accomplished and healthy holistic relationships.
