A conversation between two...

Every major decision should be given thought and made with great care. That is why I do not believe in or agree to unspoken expectations or hidden agendas. They are of no positive consequence and do not add value to your life.

While talking with someone they used a comparison that involved two family members and their birthrights. The analogy is derived from a famous story in the bible. I was really perplexed by the analogy and had to give it a great deal of thought. I didn't understand what they were trying to convey put it did provoke my consciousness regarding the strength and love of relationships.

To honor or value any relationship you must have open communication. It would be dangerous emotionally and otherwise to share your life with someone who did not value what is significant to you or what is rightfully yours. Value added relationships are a positive addition to your life not a detraction. Be cautious with those who have no thought to the important things in your life. Communication allows individuals in a relationship to determine best interest. We go through life and share a great deal with many but important factors should be reserved for a select few. Why?
There are several types of relationships and you can distinguish them by how well you communicate and value you each other. How you value one another determines the strength of the relationship. Love does not put one in bondage but it finds an agreeable means by which two or more can exist together.

I grew up hearing, how can two walk together unless they agree. The older I get the more I know it to be true. This can apply to every important relationship you have.

During this month heading into the next, look for thought provoking questions and discussions on the value and impact of positive relationships

Just thinking

Love is the thing that makes you smile, knows when you need a hug, supports you when you need uplifting, is a calming force, an ally when needed, but more importantly a hand to hold in times good, bad, and otherwise. Love is not be feared. But we should fear never giving ourselves and truly loving.

A Nice Breeze and a Bit of Perspective

As I stated yesterday I went for a walk and enjoyable it was. It was windy and I loved it. 70 degrees and a breeze didn't make for a bad time outdoors at all. Needless to say it brought yesterday's earlier agitation (read totally perturbed) to a simmer and provided an interesting perspective. I relished the blowing air and thought about my time in college. It was great and I got through it with out too much drama or incident (with the exception of a few memorables, which is for another day another post). That being said, I didn't drink, smoke or experiment with drugs. I don't say that as some type of badge of honor because that's not the case at all. But it was apparent, that somewhere along the way I truly believed what my grandparents told me growing up about character, honor, and integrity. However, the older I get I've grown wary or maybe even cynical at what maybe appears to be watered-down standards we've immersed ourselves in society. Notice I say

Movie Watch

Keep the reel running. Just kidding kinda. Actually I say that because I was not a big TV person(literally). It was not uncommon for several weeks to go by with out me turning it on. But I've probably watched more TV this year than I have ever. That being said, I've learned a few things. TV has given me a different perspective on life. Not entirely but enough to learn something. Of course some of the greatest fun I've had is identifying what I like and don't like about the films and why. Some lessons learned have come out of the most unsuspecting shows. Here's something interesting to do, think about the movies and TV shows you've seen this year and think about how they have made you ponder during the 1st decade of the 21st Century. Here's one of the realizations I've discovered in 2010. People can be reckless with the lives of others. And after having learned that, here's the reality check I got in my own life- those who are reckless in their ca
