Made to Love... xoxo

I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!!    ‎"Life without love is like a year without summer." - wise words of Bianca Pompa. shared by Gene Pompa


Why are some hearts filled with love, and others aren't?  I mean, I can't sing or dance, my acting skills leave much to be desired and although I often stumble on a great idea or two, conceptualization is easy, but rarely do I follow through with the discipline and drive it generally takes to see the project through.  There is one thing I'm exceedingly good at however, and I get better at it every day; and every time beautiful words and people inspire me, I feel it pulsating through my body like an adrenaline rush ... Love.  Can love, or loving wholeheartedly and altruistically, be considered a gift?  I want to say YES, but would it be true?  

ALL of my exes think I'm terrific; I mean, I don't have a bitter bone in my body, even though I've been robbed and stole on by some, quite a few are, arguably, some of the best men I've ever known.  What's even better is there's no animosity.  I guess this is the reason friendship still exists between most of us... that and the fact that I refuse to vilify any of them publicly and appreciate the fact that they won't either.  For the most part, I know these men still hold me in the highest regard and have as much love for me as, to their disbelief, I have for them.  Love and forgiveness are not the same, but for me, I can't feel one without the other... it's sort of like a package deal!  :-)

"Love is All we Need", is not a cliche to me, it's a way of Life and I get to express that everyday with the help of you guys and the I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!! page!  I hope you guys don't get tired of hearing it, because I'll never get tired of saying it.. I love you and thank you all so much... You all have and continue to change my life through words with wisdom, spirituality and most important, LOVE.  Be well... xoxo

I Could Use a Little Help Here...

I want to share a note written by my 11 year old daughter.  Her Paternal Grandmother is gravely ill and she wanted me to ask everyone I knew to please help her pray.

Hi, my name is Kameron and today I would like to ask everyone if they could pray for my very ill Grandma.  She recently had a heart attack.  She was put into the hospital and my Daddy is with her now.  She's very kind and loving and one of the best people in the world.  I was told she might not make it and this makes me very sad.  Thank you for your prayers everybody.


Kameron




Thanks everyone!  Have an awesome Wednesday and Be well...

Hi all!  It's been a minute and I want to apologize.  Yes, I've been busy and simply logging on to facebook has been an issue lately, but know this; when I don't get on this Blog and express myself and share the wonderful reposts and the feelings derived from them, I feel lost.  Weird, right?  :-)   Liking what you do is pretty awesome, but loving how it makes you feel when you're doing it is unexplainable.  When I say words have changed my life, know that ALL of you who have contributed to the page and inspire me with your awesome quotes at the precise time in my life that I need them the most has made the aforementioned statement a fact.  Thanks again facebook family!

So here's my week, weekend at a glance, I engaged in a debate on the page, that I'm not happy with at all.  First, that's not what I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!! is all about.  Sure, everyone can have an opinion or a comment about what is re posted, but when the comment is controversial in nature, then I have no other recourse but to defend it, the friend who shared it, and the validity of the reason why it even made it to the page.  Ignorance is indefensible and I hope the person who encouraged the negative commentary learned something... I know I did!  I learned that in life, some things, you just have to accept, and let go of, period.

And then there are some things you have to fight for.  This weekend has been one full of reflection and inspection, and I'm not a happy camper right now!  I have been battling with "The Man" all day!  My car is in the shop, again.  This time it's the axle, $1100...  really?   Also, my kitchen is falling apart, when I called the company who did the work and was told about the fee, I went berserk!!  Needless to say, I'm getting someone to come out and look at the problem, free of charge, and waiting on a call from Customer Satisfaction at Lexus.  Let's see what level my powers of persuasion are at, because $1100 is out of the question!  Right now I'm feeling a bit harassed, so maybe I'm at a 6?  Uh, oh... I'd better go read some awesome re posts on the I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!!, page for peace, motivation and inspiration!  :-)

Last,  but not least, to my friend Annalee...  She's going through a rough time and wasn't ashamed to put it out there on facebook.  Her daughter needs things for school; supplies, etc., and she needs help.  Her plea was heard by all and answered by many.  I feel blessed to be in a position where I can do what I can to help, I know I too have been in that same position.  I don't think asking for help is a bad thing, I think the humility expressed to do that, especially publicly, is courageous and I respect and admire her for her strength.  I love you girl and you are blessed to be a blessing.  You and yours are always in my prayers...  We're not in this alone everyone, remember that.  Be well...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Chaundra Daniels  IT's the "MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR": FOOTBALL SEASON!! via  I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!!

No, it's not Christmas time, it's football season!  Yeay????  Instead of Christmas lights, there are millions of glowing fans whose faces are just as bright and the energy is contagious!  I can appreciate organized sports and football happens to be one of my favorites...  honestly.  I don't really know the game like I should; I mean, I'm 41 years old with 2 marriages and a few boyfriends under my belt, hell I even dated a man who played professionally once, I better like it!   But let's face it, liking a thing and knowing a thing are two different things, am I right?  Yes ladies, I'm talking about "us" fakers who appreciate the outfits we can don and the sexy way we don them (in support of "our" team of course), the quality time spent with "our man" during the game, but who are still totally in the dark insofar as understanding the game itself.  Like I said, I get it, but to most of you who know absolutely NOTHING about the game, it's time to get familiar with it... QUICK!   

On Healthy Tuesdays, topics range from mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health, and it is with your mental and emotional health in mind that I want to help by suggesting to all significant and significant other hopefuls who don't know, you better take a crash course in Football 101, or like Tawni Fears said, you better start watching and visiting ESPN and ESPN.com!  

In a nutshell, the object of the game is to get the ball across the goal line.  Each team gets 4 "Downs" to make this happen.  Is everyone following me so far?  Good!  Every 10+ yards the team in possession moves the ball towards the goal, a new set of "downs" are given, meaning they get 4 more.. it's like the reset button was hit, got it?  :-)  I'm pretty sure the rest is self explanatory; team reaches the goal line and scores!!  I didn't say I was an ace, but that's the gist of the game, or my understanding anyway!  The point system is kind of hazy for me, there's the 3 point conversion, 6 point touchdown, and the 1 or 2 point conversions I think...  Hmmmm, don't take my word for it on that, you'd better ask your guy/girl who's in the know about points and hey, the question might get you a high-five!  :-)  Feel Better Eli and I sure am looking forward to the upcoming season... not! Lol, kidding!  Be well...

Hey all!  I hope everyone had a terrific weekend, I know I did!  I just want to take minute to tell you all how much my children mean to me and that I love them very, very much!  I watched them this weekend and I have to admit, it pleases me that they not only love each other, but they actually like being around each other as well!  My son is 20 years old and no longer lives at home, but he comes home on most weekends.  My daughter is 11 years old and is the apple of my eye.  Rounding them off is my awesome 14 year old niece; Angie's daughter, whom I've had the pleasure of raising since her Mom has been in Afghanistan.  My niece's Dad was gracious enough to allow me to keep her here with me in New York, and for this I will always have love for my former brother in law.  On Friday night, after the four of us enjoyed an early dinner, I sat in my living room and listened to them.  They were hanging out in the next room engaged in a spirited conversation.  My daughter giggled, while she listened to her cousin and brother debate over some video game nonsense and I could feel the happiness in all of them.

I was content and a little tired and began to make my way upstairs to bed.  I stopped in my niece's room, formerly my son's room, to say goodnight, and there they were, the three of them relaxing on the bed with laptops open and game controllers within arms reach.  I just stood there and watched them...  The happiness that washed over me made me a bit emotional, so when I walked into the room and reached down to kiss my daughter first, she put her arms around my neck and hugged me tight.  She told me she loved me, then my niece kissed me, told me she loved me, and my son did the same.  I felt love, it was all around me.  My kids weren't hungry, they were happy and safe!!  God is so good and I am so Blessed.  Be well...

I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!!  Life is about trusting our feelings and taking chances. Losing and finding happiness. Appreciating the memories and learning from the past. ~ Sol-Caritas.com  Carlos Wallace


I had a dream the other night about the Man God has planned for me.  In this dream, there wasn't a glitzy video like quality to it, although I recall the colors in this dream being more beautiful and brighter than any colors I've ever seen; it wasn't even the most romantic scene I could have imagined, although in a word, it was beautiful.  You see, in this dream my Man was troubled and with learned words of wisdom along with the love I could feel emanating from me, even in this dream,  I helped him through it.   Now, I'm not clairvoyant, there was no real face other than my own that I was able to discern from the dream, but when I woke up this morning and remembered, it had the strangest affect on me.  Need.  In my dream I was needed and it wasn't the horrible co-dependent need, or that selfish need for one person to hold the other down while pursuing other things, that I've experienced in my past.  It was the kind of need I've heard in hundreds of love songs and read in thousands of poems and for the first time, I dreamt about it in the purest and most sincerest form...  


I always wanted to be that person that loved and was loved by a Man that shared his innermost thoughts, dreams and nightmares with.  I know my dream wasn't real, but it was definitely a window to what God has in store for me and what I know know in my heart is coming.  I prayed for patience, and He's given it to me.  I am no longer interested in "imitation" anything, the real thing, when it happens, will mean so much more.  These are the thoughts I share with my little girls, and this is the posture I'm encouraging them to adopt as well.  


So in this dream, with this Man's face is in my hands, I tell him I Love him and the quiet that washes over him is visual.  The calmness I can feel emanating from him is comforting and the certainty I felt when I opened my eyes was this; if I could share anything with this Man, whoever he is, wherever he may be this very minute, it's this...  No worries, I'm right here.

Flying the not so Friendly Skies!!

News 12 Long Island: The mother of a Jet Blue flight attendant leaps to her son's defense. Diane Slater says she understands why her son, Steven, snapped after a passenger cursed at him and apparently hit him with a piece of luggage. He's facing charges for deploying the slide. His mother, who lives in California, was also a flight attendant. She says if it were her, she might have snapped even more.

WTF!!!!?????  Everyone is applauding this dude... really?  I'm a little perturbed.  I mean, he's supposed to have it together as a flight attendant, right?  Publicly vilifying that passenger for disrespecting him and inadvertently assaulting him with her overhead carry-on bag was one thing, but jeopardizing the safety of all passengers, fellow co-workers and the ground crew, was in excusable!  I'm sure his behavior was based, on no small part anyway, on the fact that he is a recovering alcoholic.  The fact that he "swiped"  two beers, before his grand exit from the aircraft, was clearly indicative of that.  Coincidentally, the disgruntled flight attendant's mother is ill and this also weighed heavy on the poor guys mind.  Dropping the "F" bomb several times could have been considered and pardoned as retaliatory and ultimately excused.  Sanctions would have been imposed, maybe even a brief suspension would have been the more immediate punishment, but opening the emergency door and causing a security breech of that magnitude is just wrong in this terrorist crazed world/climate.  His issues notwithstanding, the additional problems he's created for himself almost renders the nobel act null and void!  

You know what would have been awesome is if he hacked into the computer and had Jetblue pay for everyone's ticket who flew that day.  Yeah, hacking into the mainframe and disabling the operating system that pertained to charges would have been a real home run for everyone!!  Sticking it to "The Man" always helps in regards to public opinion/support and this would have had the people cheering for him for days, weeks and weeks to come!  Oh well, that's how I see it anyway... Be well!

I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!!  Wherever I go, I meet myself. Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents us from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being. You can outdistance that which is running after you, but not what is running inside you.  Rick DaBarba

I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!!  People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them. ~G.B. Shaw, shared by Tara Sessions

I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!!  Common sense is instinct. Enough of it is genius. It is a thousand time better to have common sense without education, than to have education without common sense. Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes  Rick DaBarba

I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!! Take a moment today to think of something that stresses you out. Immediately follow up with a thought that brings you happiness. Then, try to think of both at the same time. You can't. The brain can only focus on one complete thought at a time. When faced with a choice today, think positively. Change the course of your day, one good thought at a time. ~ Sol-Caritas.com  Carlos Wallace
