Save Something for Yourself.

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 filled with words. I didn't even have a title until I started writing. I think it best conveys my thought for women, young adults and girls but most importantly for me.

Save something for yourself. I use to think of that as a type of self preservation but as I write, for me, it's all of that including the need to express, and expel your voice to break up motionless silence in this loud world. The kind that wants to push down the things that matter most or is important to you. It's saving the truth of who you are, it's savoring "real" relationships with genuine people. It's all of those things that give pulse to your life.

Yes, save something for yourself is knowing that good exist and you deserve it. It's knowing that there's a part II to this topic. It's about loving yourself.

Moments in Love (I shared this with you in 2013) I thought it was a great way to say hello again and wish you Happy Valentines Day

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 a b...

Stairwells to the 2nd-3rd Floor Pretty Uncommon in Hospitals

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...

Where to...

Thought for the day Ethics should not be reduced so low that we ravage the innocence, moral character, or integrity of society. To do so is to morally bankrupt the fabric of our existence. You don't want to look around and have to wonder if there is anything good left to hold on to. I'll tell you the truth, TV has really opened my eyes. As I've said in previous posts, I've never been a big TV watcher. But the past several months has been a provocation of sorts. Many revelations have been positive and insightful but a great deal more have been heartbreaking. Albeit most shows are meant to entertain but, they still create opportunities to learn, often indicating we've got to check our internal compass to make sure we are headed in a positive direction, making our world a better place to live.
