I'm having jitters about sharing some of my first works in writing with you. They're older but they still have a special place in my life. I can't believe how I feel. Tonight may prove to be interesting after all.
Often times when you go into the New Year, you think about your goals and aspirations. However, many of our dreams include others. So tonight I say an extra prayer.
If you love someone or want to love them, don't let a moment slip by without sharing how special that person is to you. Take a risk, give a card, send a letter or email, but surprise them, you just might might have the words they needed to hear. It's time to laugh more, love more and be more to each other.
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...
"Life is not about the destination but about the journey (quote from Movie Step Up 3) Towards the end of the movie one of the main characters Moose makes this statement. It resonated with my spirit because I believe that life is about both. The journey and the destination but, I totally understood the point he was making. So go on a little journey with me tonight as I share my thoughts and insights with you throughout the evening well unto the New Year. Also keep checking back with me. As we near the count down I am bringing a poem out of retirement that I wrote years ago. I don't know for how long but I think it's fitting as I look over 2010 and with anticipation as we head into 2011.
A few months ago, I was out and about and I overheard someone talking about how crazy things have gotten. I'm the first to agree with you on that. In fact if you've watched TV ever- there's enough going on in the world to make you question A lot of things about yourself and life. But if I may, let me say this- life is very colorful. It is full of diversity. I understand that things can be so negative that we don't see the beauty all around us or worse we take innocent things and make them negative. As you go into the New Year remember to free yourself of fear, lies, and deception. Life demands that we stretch out and live with purpose.
I'm really not an expert in this area but, after going over a few records for a family member, I quickly understand the importance of not just tossing your bank statements around and not viewing them. I saw where they were paying for subscriptions almost three times the normal amount. Having said that, many of you will get those bank statements detailing all the great gifts you have given. But you may want to double check them. Make sure you haven't been billed twice for the same thing or billed for something you didn't purchase at all. With theft at an all time high, it's not unlikely for this to happen. Remember to keep tabs of your records. Lately I've been taking note of information regarding fraud and identity theft and it seems that the holiday season is a peak time for these unfortunate situations to take place. And familiarizing yourself with what steps to take (hopefully this won't happen) can ease the burden of a di...
