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...

I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!! For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life will begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life Rick DaBarba

Excerpt from "The Disappointed By Ella Wilcox shared by  Myckelle Williams


I don't just "Like it", I "LOVE IT"!!!  Mothers are amazing. I just watch Connie with our kids and am blown away. She has a relationship with them that is so intimate. She KNOWS them...& is with them in ways that are beyond my understanding. It's in the details. She knows by-heart the things about their lives/routines/worlds that I only discover by watching her interactions with them. The fact that I get to watch it makes me feel privileged.  Michael Tyler Smith
