  "Dreams are made when we put what we believe into action." A.Kinglock-Murray You may have heard many stories of others that either left you awestruck or had tears streaming down your face. We all have our stories to tell. Whichever way we want to tell them to the world. They can be just as impactful as everyone else's. I remember when I published my first book and shared the good news with my Facebook friends. One friend congratulated me and said who would have thought? In her eyes, she wouldn't have imagined that I could have published a book. Like that Facebook friend. Many people, including family have limited expectations of what they think you can do. They don't expect you to show up in certain places. They don't expect you to go above the average. They don't expect you to rise to your true potential. You're always somewhere in the corner of their minds; below their expectations. They wouldn't have thought of you as anything more than the or

  We all have expectations that we require of ourselves. They may be challenging to varying degrees depending on what our goals are.  What seems like a major accomplishment for others, may very well be a major slip up for some of us.  There are times when we know we've completely missed the mark. During these moments we can become highly critical of ourselves. Instead of patting ourselves on the shoulder, we find ourselves spiraling downwards. Have you had moments where you felt that you didn't meet your expectations? Others may be proud of what you've done but you know deep within yourself that you were nowhere close to your best shot.  I've been there. Today, I want to share with you some tips that will help you to pull yourself up when you feel as if you've completely let yourself down. 1. You won't always be on your A-game. Life doesn't work on our terms. We don't always get to put things exactly where we want them to go. There will be times when it

  Poem about not wanting to lose a loved one   I saw the weeping sky in its old dusty grey At the break of dawn's silver light, As the morning unfolded its lustrous wings, It waded in royal blue, Time changes fast, It hit a nerve,  It struck a chord, It rang a bell, Luminous thoughts of me and you, Nothing lasts forever, One not so glorious day,  Time will  rent the veil and   This bond that we've woven in love, Will break us free, I shed a hollow tear, As though the wells of my heart had dried up, Like the barren night without, The moon and stars to bear her light, A naked city stripped of her polished walls, I went out of my mind, Helter-skelter, Mourning the thought of losing you, Do we ever settle the score with death, Do we truly let those we love to go, My imagination bears a heavy burden, Filled with angst,  Of death ever choosing you, Don't we all carry bits and pieces,  Of those we've lost, Until we're strong enough to set ourselves free, Don't we somet

  Poem about having hope and dreams: I couldn't live my life without a dream, I'd be a sepulcher filled with dried bones, A tiresome nomad in search of true north, A careless wave,  Traversing the wonders of the sea, I couldn't live my life without a dream, My existence would be purposeless, I'd feel wasted with every, Moving breath that sustains the life within me, Like a reed hugging the  mighty wind, Swaying wherever it goes, A lonely pollen searching to find a resting place, In meadows where beautiful flowers grow, The gloomy horizon without the blanket of the sun's glorious rays, I couldn't live my life without a dream, I'd be empty, Pure nothingness, A vast black hole, Fill my heart with hopes and dreams, An imagination unending, Without limits, Without obliteration, Every man was born to dream, Saddle my tears with determination, Clothe every fragile bone with courage, For the image of God, Kindles a fire within me, Dispelling  fears and doubt, Tell t

  Cheating, lying and abuse are usually the main players in the death of a relationship but other things like poor communication, immaturity, and incompatibility are just as bad. Sometimes the best option for both parties is to go their separate ways.  It takes teamwork to keep a relationship afloat. If all the effort is being put out by one person. It will feel strenuous and lopsided, and that person will become frustrated. Today, I'll share with you 10 signs that your relationship isn't going anywhere. These are things that I've learned while dating and after being married. 1. There's no good communication; you argue more than you talk. One of the signs of a healthy relationship is that you can have respectful and mature conversations with your partner. If you find that a simple discussion turns to shouting, swearing and name-calling it's a sign of poor communication. You should be able to have discussions without feeling that you're venturing down a dangerous

Poem about depression and loneliness . I can slay the day, But the night  Rules over me with an iron fist, It sets me down, It tells me everything that I long to forget, Lies. Secrets. Fears, It makes me listen, Still as the tomb, It makes me remember, Naked truth! It makes me surrender, Powerless. Wretched. Afraid. I'm like a ship broken up and lost at sea, A caged bird longing to be set free, A prisoner of the dark, I don't want to be alone, The night is  cruel,  It tortures me. © 2022 All Rights Reserved.
