My mind struggles to think
I can feel every aspect in my mind trying to focus
but every time I close my eyes and try to think of nothing
I can’t!
It’s in constant motion,
constant thinking
negative thoughts, positive thoughts
but mostly just thoughts.

How can you get your mind to relax, to just not think of anything at all. Fully focus on nothing and let your body just relax.

Some say sleep is a form of relaxation.
Many people don’t remember their dreams, but I dream almost every night.
Mostly nonsense stuff that doesn’t even make sense.
When I wake up I feel exhausted sometimes, feeling like that dream had me running for miles.

My mind has control of me, my thoughts, my dreams my desires. How do you make it stop just for one second?
Just stop for one second so that I can breath with out feeling the pressure in my head.
Stop for one second so I can think straight.
When I read, I’m thinking
When I lie there, I’m thinking
When I dream, I’m thinking
It never just stops, it never just lets me relax, it never just lets me BE ME!

It’s like a fish in a bowl, swimming in circles for hours, for days until he takes his last breath. I sometimes feel like that, a routine, work, school, play, work, school, play. It never just stops, I never stop.

This week…

So this week I didn’t have many Advice columns, I was inspired to write from the heart, write about life and questions that we sometimes have. I have come across a few people in my life, friends that have come and gone, boyfriends, and family and I know so many people who have the same questions. Sometimes we think we are alone in what we feel, we feel like no one can ever understand us. In some cases no one will know 100% of what you feel because everyone goes through life differently and everyone reacts differently to situations, but just because you go through it differently doesn’t mean another person can’t understand what you are going through.

Life is a road we all must take, and although we don’t know where it is going, we drive on it anyway, hoping it leads us to that happy ending in the sky….

Inspiration:

In life I have met people who have inspired me to become a better person, inspired me to fight for what I want and inspired me that no matter what you may think about yourself or what others may think of you, in the end you will find your way….
Life has brought a lot of negative things but it’s also brought a lot of positive, loving things. If we dwell on the negative that has happened to us then we will never be able to truly move forward, we will never be able to truly feel the happiness that is out there waiting for us. I can’t say I haven’t held grudges or that I’m perfect, and I am not saying it’s easy to forgive someone that has hurt you, but if we can’t change the past, we can’t change what happened to us then we need to learn how to move on from it. We need to learn that the past stays in the past and our future has so many more possibilities filled with love and happiness. I have to believe that there is more out there for me, just like I know there is more out there for you (the person reading this). Each day I get closer to my dreams coming true.

Today I am inspired to become a better person
Today I am inspired to make my dreams come true
Today I am inspired to believe in the unbelievable
Today I am inspired to Love
Today I am inspired to take in the cool air and imagine the possibilities
Today I am just inspired…..

Happy Birthday

Today is the day you were born
Today is the day I give thanks to the lord
Without you here, you wouldn’t be part of my world.

My world changed the day you came into my life
With every wish I wished upon a star
that one day I would find love
love found me a million miles away

Love entered my heart when I thought it was gone
you showed me the light,
you showed me the way,
if it wasn’t for you
my world would have gone astray.

Today is your birthday
and I wish you the world
I know that good things are coming your way
with every wish I make
with every breath I take
I know deep down that from here on out
only good things will come our way.

Happy Birthday to the man I love
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday

I love you…..

Happy Birthday to a wonderful boyfriend, I hope you are enjoying our trip. I love you

In a life full of questions, in a life full of fun, there isn’t a moment that passes that I wonder is this the one?

Is this the one time that I’ll make this mistake
Is this the one time I’ll cry
Is this the one time I’ll laugh
Or is this all a lesson of which I’ve passed?

Time is an essence
a tick of the clock
when you look around you
nothing has stopped.

Every day passes
another day gone
another day older
another day closer.

Live your life to the fullest
and have no regrets
because tomorrow’s not promised
but today…
today I live
today I grow
today i tell you i love you
Tomorrow, I just don’t know…

xo,

The Pride of Our Country

Today as before, our brave do fight
For a land they love, a flag so right

The pride of our country, yes they are
The strength of our nation, best by far

Just as our brave from each war gone by
They march for us proudly, flag held high

From all over this land they come to serve
They’re taught by the best, this they deserve

When troops give their all, the world does see
Whether serving on land, in the air, or at sea

The pride from this country, march through war
With home drawn strength, held deep in their core

Our best are so awesome, their loved ones well know
May God guide their journey where they – for us – go

What these brave must have is support from their own
The love from their people, firm thankfulness shown

Our greatest achievement is that we’re still free
Please take time and ponder who caused this to be

Life’s Obstacles

Life is hard
Life is weak
Life is everything you seek

When we live in a world full of hate
We live with hate
When we live in a world full of love
We find love
When we live in a world full of joy
We seek joy.

Life is hard
Life is good
Life is what we make of it.

Live.Love.Laugh

~Random Thoughts~

Random Thoughts…

Have you ever just realized that the person you are with isn’t perfect, but with all the flaws and all the differences you have you know deep down that this person is for you, that He or She is your kind of Perfect? I grew up and realized that no one is perfect but that is what makes us all unique, and in the end there is always that one person who fits perfectly together with you. This is dedicated to my boyfriend. I love you xoxo

You’re my kind of Perfect

When I found you I didn’t know you would be the one
In the back of mind I liked you
When you found me we were just having fun
Then out of no where we feel in love.

I never thought you were perfect but to me you shine that light
When I’m in the dark you make everything alright.
When we kissed I felt the summer breeze
Then I looked into your eyes and felt butterflies within.

When I met you I was lost
I opened up my heart to you
I let you in my world
Through the years you’ve been my strength
My best friend through it all
And even though we aren’t perfect
You’re my kind of Perfect
You’re my kind of Love…

xo,

Stop being so blind…

Can’t you see the truth
Why must you be so blind?
I guess at this age we just like to hide.

I don’t know what to tell you
What to say or what to do
I wish you can see when it’s just not meant to be.

Love is blind
the heart doesn’t want to see with the mind
Open your eyes and see the truth
that in the end he/she will only hurt you.

Sometimes I see you and it makes me so sick
to see someone with such a looser
it’s a waste of a breath.

In the end you’ll see the light
In the end you’ll understand
that what I want for you is only the best.

Stop being so blind, and open your eyes
Start seeing the truth that is right in front of you.

~Written a long time ago for a friend stuck in a bad relationship. Thankfully she was able to realize that he was no good for her, and she is now with someone she loves very much and who loves her back.

Are you stupid, blind or just naive,
Can’t you see what you are doing
is going to change everything?

This isn’t a game,
There’s people involved
You can’t pretend it didn’t happen
You can’t turn back…

In midst of light
I see you
when I look at you
I thought I knew you
Now I look at you
and I see a stranger
A person who lies
A person who schemes
A person in which today I see
but tomorrow I flee

When the world seemed to crumble down
you shut us out
When you shed tears of sadness
You cried alone
When your heart falls apart
no one will be around
because in every moment of sadness you
pushed the people you loved away.

Today I open my eyes
and I SEE that nothing is ever really meant to be

But with every hope inside
I come to realize
that illusions of the heart
make you blind

It is not that you are stupid
blind or naive,
its that you are a child who just can’t see…

My Best Friend

We have known each other for way too long
You aren’t just my best friend
You are like a sister at all costs.

We have been through ups and downs
at one point we didn’t talk
life moved on
and then one day out of no where
you came back into my life
it was has if we never stopped talking
as if we had never been apart
that’s how you truly know this friendship will never part.

You mean the world to me
everything you do
I know if I need you
You’ll help me through

If you’re ever in a bind
I hope you know I’ll do the same
No matter what time or day
I’ll always be here
Just call out my name…

I know it sounds corny
but the saying is true
Friends for Ever
Just Me & YOU!

Dedicated to my best friend Grace – I have known her for over 15 years now and she is like a sister to me in so many ways. I was inspired to write this poem after she wrote me a sweet message on my facebook page. She just got married, and I was so lucky to have been chosen as her Maid of Honor…. It is truly a blessing when you find a true friend for life… Love you….
