Last Thoughts of 2012

C.R.A.Z.Y!
Came and went! I barely remember any major, let alone minor details! The road hasn't been smooth, but it's been full of hidden blessings and more lessons learned! It was an awakening that's for sure... I'm wide awake and READY to LEAVE 2012!
I'm prepared and fully vested...Are you?!

Christmas 2012!!

Love, peace, and blessings to you All!!

Leaving It In 2012!

I'm LEAVING stupidity, weakness, fear, and resentment in 2012!

What about you? What are you willing and able to leave in 2012 as you plan and prepare for 2013?

Be reasonable! Be HONEST!

For me, as they say..RIP stupidity, weakness, fear and resentment! I have NO room for you in 2013!!

XOXO,

What You Remember...

It's interesting what you remember about your childhood! I remember my great-grandmother, whom I called Lessie B. She passed away when I was about fifteen years old and at that time death, I want to say, was very surreal to me. I just really didn't understand it or think of losing people around me and never seeing them again (on this side for us believers) as a reality. Even at the age I am, knowing and surviving and understanding the things I do...sometimes it's still unfathomable! :-/
With that said, I don't want to place a damper on this entry because that's certainly not my intent...so I'll carry on to the exact point of it all.
In remembering my great-grandmother; I remember her house around the holidays! Just to be clear, she was a pack-rat! She always has whatever's all around her house: on tables, counters, cabinets...you name it! She always had food too, not food like snacks either, I'm talking full-course meals: hog, pig feet, pickled this or that, smoked this and that, coconut cakes, tea cake cookies...whatever!
But I distinctly remember during the holidays- from about September through February being her "peak" season for desserts! Lol! I especially remember on the holidays Gingerbread houses!!!
All types, large and small! They weren't the greatest to eat, in fact they tasted weird to me although they were edible! I remember thinking, "Let me stop sneaking to eat this house, you can't eat it...but it smells SO good!" The funniest part is that, there was absolutely no reason to sneak! They were there to eat, but I always thought of it as more of a display :-)
Lessie B! That was her thing and I remember those houses vividly! I don't see them when I visit people's houses anymore, I don't hear people talking about them anymore either... I wonder why that is?! Maybe I've outgrown them and so like on some of those movies, like... who remembers Drop Dead Fred?! Lol! Remember she got too "grown-up" to remember Fred and only when she got back "child-like" did she remember him ;-) Maybe that's it! I don't "see" the Gingerbread houses because I'm not really looking for them...subconsciously.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Christmas Eve is my night to be with my family and love!!! I watch my fav holiday movies, get tipsy off egg nog, sip cocoa, wrap gifts, bake cookies, bask in the beauty of the occasion and usually fall asleep some time thereafter❤

Santa Claus is coming to town!! So Merry Christmas to All and to All a GOOD night! ❌⭕❌⭕,

You can be a whole lot of EVERYTHING and still not be enough. Don't allow someone else's issues to undermine your self-worth! You have value and those that truly love you see it even when you don't!

Enough Already-We Get It! You Don't Participate!

It's true that America is a melting pot for all types of people, with all different beliefs and religions! Who cares?! To each their own. I begin to have a problem though when your beliefs are so dogmatic and judgmental that you begin to impress them on others even after its been quite routinely expressed. We should all be respected no matter your religion or belief.
To me, it's personal! A personal decision! Just like who you decide to bed-down! I don't need to wear a shirt that says, "I'm sleeping with him!" Just like there doesn't have to be a parade where I march around chanting how free I should be to have sex with Tom, Dick, and Harry! That's what we call PRIVATE! I'll just never understand that -_-
Moving on though
As free as people should be to practice their religions is as free as people should be to NOT partake in other certain religions...I get that. Don't participate! But don't send a generic letter legitimizing your beliefs AND then further attempting to brow-beat or explain why the practice of another religion is wrong and why you think they're all going to hell. It's not your place! Have a seat!
The most grounded and learned scholars will tell you everything must, not only be done in decency and in order, but gently! Didn't your parents ever teach you: You catch more flies with honey than vinegar!
Decency and in order means: You're not going to write to your child's teacher to let them know- especially after the first generic note- why you're not celebrating holidays and how wretched holidays are!
You're not going to write the banks and grocery stores formal "generic" letters about how offensive their decorations are to you when you're shopping for eggs or cashing a check!
You especially shouldn't write a letter where multiple recipients read it and KNOW it's generic because you didn't take the time to proofread to know you have wrong names in the damn letter!! I mean really?! You already know what I'm going to say...Get YOUR LIFE!
