25 Things about ME!
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.
1. My favorite color is Purple- Purple is royalty. A mysterious color, purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality. Purple has a special, almost sacred place in nature: lavender, orchid, lilac, and violet flowers are often delicate and considered precious.
2. I am a writer! I recently reclaimed this truth. I find my authenticity thru my writing, and I also use the process to get unstuck. God's whisper comes to me thru writing. Writing is so powerful!
3. My playlists in Itunes are the soudtracks of moments in my life. Music moves me and sometimes gives me direction.
4. I have two amazing gifts from God… my two sons! God also keeps me from catching a case some days (smile). Listen my best advice to parents: enjoy each stage of parenting, it changes and goes by so fast… adolescents truly is the second toddler stage… and our children are not an extension of us, they have their own journey to travel we are their guide and coach them on their journey.
5. The last 10 months or so... have been CHALLENGING to say the least. There have been so many transitions going on at the same time in my life that it has been overwhelming at times... but I am coming out on the other side- wiser, stronger, loved, more loving, more on purpose, and awakened to the importance of peace and happiness in the moment (the future and the past aren’t now… I have to be present NOW).
6. I am a “glass is half full” kinda gurl, and I also know when my “glass is empty” and need to be replenished. Optimism is what gets me up and out of bed when my circumstances disappoint me!
7. Mary J Blige… damn I love her, because so many of her CDs have been soundtracks to moments for me. My Life got me thru, and No More Drama was the kick off to a great year in my 20s.
8. Michael Jackson… Thriller Album brings back so many happy memories. I was at the store the first day that 25th Anniversary Thriller CD came out.
9. Smiling and saying hello to others make my day better. Its my simple gift to the world.
10. Laughing is a gift to my soul. I laugh easily and often. I don’t like being around people that take themselves too seriously… one of my favorite quotes, “Why so serious?” –The Joker
11. I LOVE ice cream! I have found a healthier choice for my regular ice cream needs- Hagan Daaz Mango Sorbet. And for those difficult days, special treats, or well just when I convince myself I deserve it… Breyer’s Oreo Cookie, or Ben N Jerry’s Mint Cookies N Cream is soooo yummy to my tummy. Also I love a sundae with caramel and strawberries… YES YOU CAN mix the two (Reason… don’t judge me LOL)
12. I love fleece socks! I obsessively buy them at Job Lot. To justify my obsession I give them to others as gifts… sharing is caring (smile).
13. I got my license and my first car (my plum Mazda 626) when I was 21 years old.
14. One of the best ways to get out of my head, and remember that child in me… is to get a game going with a group of kids. My favorite is kickball (I can be competive) so yes I will even knock over a kindergartener in order to make it to my base LOL. The best training I ever went to was Project Joy… I love being a Playmaker!
15. I have loved and lost at least 3 times… and that has prepared me to love again. I am “single and ready to mingle”, my OtherMotha’s favorite phrase.
16. Spirituality is a journey from my perspective. I know there is more to life than what I can see. I am so happy that God love’s me in spite of myself! Hope, Faith, and Love are God’s gifts to me and I am sooooo grateful! I believe we are representatives of God’s love thru us to others. I try to remember that most when I am hurt and angry with someone…
17. My Grandma T is my SHERO! She is one of God’s best love representatives. How she lives teaches me more than what she says.
18. My Daddy is my HERO! He taught me that change is possible and that forgiveness is the best gift I can give to myself. He is one of my best friends. When I need a retreat and a hug… to Daddy’s house I go. I will always be Daddy’s Little Girl and I love him more than I can put into words.
19. I have one sibling… my big little brother. He is one of the most loving people I know. Brotha, can I borrow $5 LOL
20. I love breakfast food! I can eat breakfast anytime of day.
21. Gratitude is the door to blessings! I have learned to remember to be grateful for the big and small things in my life.
22. I have amazing friends! You inspire me, motivate me, cry with me, laugh with me, and most of love and push me to be my best ME! I am so thankful!
23. My mother is my ROCK! I am able to be who I am because of her support, and her love. We definitely don’t always agree or see things the same way… but I have grown to appreciate and respect her because I understand her more as I grow.
24. I know a little about a lot of stuff. If I don’t know it I will most definitely google it. Some of my friends will call me for the strangest things… I was their GPS before you could get one for $200. I should have been charging for my services.
25. Super heroes intrigue me. I most relate to Wonder Woman, particularly as she struggles to understand why she is called to be who she is?
Well I am going to follow the rules and end at 25 things about ME. I am learning to follow the rules… sometimes (smile)
