Have you taken any time at all to promote yourself today? If you enlisted a public relations specialist, how would you want them to market you? What does the packaging look like? What does it hold inside? What is the logo? What is the jingle that goes with the commerical? What is your motto? How would you want to get the word out there about YOU being something brand new and better than before?!
It's okay to toot your own horn! It's okay to show others how fabulous you are in and out! Go out renew and then re-Brand yourself!! Take some to think about what message you want to send out, and what you want others (and more importantly yourself!) to see about you!

More Poetry....just in a mood to write... is that alright?
He Wonders
He wonders, he wonders...
why I won't let him in.
I wonder, I wonder...
why he is into me.
He wonders, he wonders....
what I think of when
we spend time.
I wonder, I wonder...
what can i do to
ensure he is mine.
He wonders, he wonders...
if my head holds
thoughts of him.
I wonder, I wonder...
what he thinks of
all the time.
He wonders, he wonders...
where my heart belongs.
I wonder, I wonder...
can he take care of it.
He wonders, he wonders...
what are my reasons
to being with him.
I wonder, I wonder...
what he would do
without me.
He wonders, he wonders...
what happens when
we are apart.
I wonder, I wonder...
if he knows that I
always feel near.
He wonders, he wonders...
how our WE will come
to be.
I wonder, I wonder....
when will he make
it OUR Day.
He wonders, he wonders...
often why me.
I wonder, I wonder...
often why me.

Poetry
Heart in Transit
Riding along the bumpy
tracks, making stops
along the way.
Only to find that some
stops made were the wrong
destination.
Landscapes upon each horizon
change from time to time.
Each place others bide for mine.
Affections.
Trying to place itself in its
rightful place.
My heart is in transit.
Curves thrown into its path.
Holding tight to make sure
it last.
Watchful eyes guide its course.
Preparing it for the inevitable
safe haven or Heaven that it
will be bound to find.
Whispers of contentment fill
the air around.
Battling with wanting to find a place to settle,
without settling.
My heart is in transit.
No excuses to what life may bring.
No excuses to wanting everything.
Receiving what God promised
as mine.
Love overflows and seeps from
the pores.
Touches and kisses that say they
want more and more.
But does the ONE lie in wait?
No one is sure or certain to
be there to catch as I fall
fall
fall
time and time again...
in love.
My heart is in transit.
The journey makes it gather
dust.
Trials and tribulations makes it
brace.
The losses make it weary.
However strong it may be,
freedom to ardor is its craving.
Keeping search, it will find.
Keeping certain that the travels
are meaningful experiences.
Grow
Twist
Evolve
Turn
Love
Side to Side
along its voyage.
Heart in transit.

Spring Cleaning!
Spring will be sprung upon us by the end of this week! Often when this time approaches, I like to take some time to go through my "stuff"-especially my house (closets!). Now, I am thinking that there is more in life to spring clean some other things in my life.Like a mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual cleaning!
I am thinking that one way to get this done is to confront your sh*&! So many of us are afraid to do this- looking at the man/woman in the mirror and being honest. It can be a challenge and a refreshing experience.
Today, I will take steps for prepping for my spring cleaning. My pastor challenged us today to give up a negative habit and replace it with a positive one for a week. Although I haven't decided what my habit will be, I am up to the challenge and hope that you will try it as well! I look forward to seeing what the cleaning/cleansing holds for me and you! And I come out brand spanking new...or at least close to! Happy Spring Cleaning!

Pamper Yourself
Good People!
Soon Spring will be sprung and it is a time of R-E-N-E-W-A-L! I have to ask... what will you do to "renew" yourself?!
We are also in the time of Lent... which I think is a nice transition to Spring and our renewal process. You sacrifice or take on something that will benefit you in the long run all the while, becoming more spiritually renewed. In addition, remember, a habit forms after 21 consecutive days. Hmm, a good one hopefully!
Now, with all of that being said... what will you do? Pamper yourself! I say, when you take care of the outside, something beautiful happens with the In. Massages, mani/pedi, yoga, exercise, or a trip... whatever it may be for you... do it! PAMPER YOURSELF.
I have distinguished the 15th of every month as my "Self-Luxe Day"... my day to pamper (however small it may be!) and not feel guilty. For if I do not take care of myself, how can I take care of others?
With that set and a time of Lent upon us, I am excited about welcoming Spring in...I will be ready!! And I hope that you are too. So go out and get pampered... winter was hard and we all deserve something nice!

Share the Love
Many who know me say that I am true romantic at heart. No matter how many times Love has disappointed me, hurt me, disillusioned me, or broke me down...I have still been there consistently!
As we approach our season of Love, we begin to see all of the ways we can express our Love to others. And even with the economy the way it is...things are still expensive...and we continue to buy into it! I say...STOP!!! Find beautiful, simple ways to say what your heart feels and that way, you can say it every single day!
Also, share the Love with others! Strangers, those we meet or see in passing, or even someone you see everyday that might need a little boost. Let them know that all is not lost, Love still abounds and can be found in unexpected places and ways!
Today I requested "I Love You" cards from a website that was mentioned in DailyCandy Atlanta (sign up- it's a cool site!!!). You receive 25 of these cards for FREE! All you have to do is, when you leave it somewhere, take a pic and send it to their website for posting! How simple, how sweet. Here is the site to get your own cards and begin to share the Love!!

Being out of pocket
Hello everyone.
Recently, I have felt like I have been "out of pocket" and extremely busy....living.
As much as I have also felt like I have been in touch (especially via technology-internet, texting), life seems to have been passing me by!
Today, I am taking time to be still. Be still to take care of the little things and get back focused on what I am supposed to do in my life. Be still and do the things that make me happy. Be still and take care of me.
Is life passing you by? Do you feel a little out of pocket? Take time, my friend, to take care of the small things...like you. Enjoy!!!
