Slow Motion for the New Year!

Happy New Year! Holidays are behind us and it's "Time for Change" .... yes we can say it every year and hopefully at the end of the year - there has been some positive change. 2009 was a tough year for me and for alot of stupid reasons. I put up with drama that really in retrospect didn't have shit to do with me... but if someone in your life is going through it, you kinda go thru it too. I cried nights that I shouldn't have.... I was blamed for things that I had no control of, I had a lot of miserable days in 2009 over piles of bull. Well those days are over... now I have to take care of ME. As Tamia says.... "If I have to choose, I choose me."  I finally had to tell myself, I didn't cause all this mess and I'm not going to let someone blame me for the mess their life is in. Ultimately even if you let someone's feelings/emotions affect your decisions in life, bottom line is the decision was still yours. So only YOU are to blame. I want my peace back. I want my tranquility back. I complained about my marriage but at least during that time we didn't have drama surrounding us. My other lesson this year.... is trying to help and support others has spiralled me out of control financially. I can say without question that even at the point before bankruptcy, I have never been this bad off financially. Single-handedly making bad decision after bad decision. But no more. I have to take control of my own.... And that doesn't mean I won't still make mistakes but I will be conscience of my spending from now own....and make better decisions. Gonna have to bump me some Beyonce now.....Me, Myself and I.

Gray Areas...

I'm experiencing "grey areas" in my life right now. Yes I am still separated and not divorced. Yes I still technically have a live-in boyfriend and a husband. And yes they both want to be a major part of my life. And unfortunately, I want to be a part of both of their lives but realize that can't happen. Initial sparks wear out and reality sets in..... just in my case sparks can go on a long time usually after sexual and emotional connections have gotten way too deep.  Right now I'm taking the time to redefine love in my life. Love means something different to each person. I realize in talking to different friends on a day-to-day basis...that we all view relationships differently.  Some women think that as long as he's a provider, they can put up with anything. To me money is not everything, what about the desire to be in your partner's presence?  What about having that indescribable feeling when you get that hug at the end of the day? What about looking f...

Nothing Going On.....Nothing going down.

Long and short of it....I'm stuck with weight loss. Could be I'm not pushing myself enough...could be I'm still over-portioned....could be my metabolism... Could, Would, Should. UGH. I read alot of blogs and websites boasting people that follow some slight modification for one week and lose over 5lbs....I've never experienced that. Even in the beginning, my loss has never been over 2lbs at a time. Very frustrating because I've made alot of changes in my physical activities and eating habits. I've even helped others with their plan. Ugh. Not discouraged enough to give up but I am discouraged. I just don't want to feel like I have to give up every single thing I enjoy in life. oh well....Sunshyne Out.

My curl exactly!!

Look at this.... I'm hold ing up a strand of my own hair and a strand of weave.... can't tell can you? Nope...this hair is an exact match of my natural hair... No one can ever tell unless I tell them..it's hilarious. I love it because my hair is very thick but not as full as I would like it to be so sometimes I add in a track or two to "help" me out. I've let alot of black grow in....ALOT... lol. And it's darker than the 1b/30 weave... it's been so long since I've seen my roots in their natural stage that I just didn't even realize my hair is really black...not off black... jet black.. I love it. Thought about dying the rest but kinda feeling this.
