"Oh brother" that is all I can say about some comments through out the various sites. Everyone is entitled to their O P I N I O N S...careful about what words you choose...WHY? Figure it out. I am truly blessed to have the relationships in my life that I have...I love that I am surrounded by people of faith, love, family, and positivity. I am blessed to be surrounded by very faithful people that realize to appreciate GOD or whatever higher power you choose, you don't have to jam it down someone's throat or make it a point to explain all the time. Having faith or beliefs all you have to do is take those lessons of life, and faith and apply them to your day to day interactions. It's not how hard you practice at your faith, it's whether or not you are truly learning and living as you are being taught. Many are not, and say they are.... Always take the higher road, and never poke at someone's ego. That is all I will discuss about this topic because faith is...

It has been an interesting few weeks understanding loves. Understanding friends relationships, understanding how much so many of us have in common (or do we? you know who you are). In the past few blogs I was writing about why so many hurt, suffer pain. I had seen so many extremes and how it was one thing or another and the only one thing in every relationship that you can overdose on( and it is o.k.) is communication (how ever you choose to express it, or how creative you want to get). It is so hard at times watching relationships where you can see the love so clearly but I don't know if it's pride, or fear that people hold back what they need to say? I know that sometimes it is easier to tell an indirect person what you want to say due to being let down, or hurt just flat out sucks, but wouldn't it suck more to just miss out on something amazing or find out now if it is even worth all that worry? We get this great opportunity at life. We have the ability to communicat...

So, I didn't realize that people just will say something mean, over saying something constructive. Thank you ANONYMOUS that felt the need to go there...Great observation, and reminder sometimes you can't reach everyone. It's like I was saying on the last blog. I didn't disagree with peoples opinions. Like I stated what works great for one relationship might not be for another.... Some relationships want to hear "Tell me you love me" others want the actions to show "love" What LOVE is for one person isn't the same for another....I was talking with some friends that supported that statement....I.E. Cuddling, intimacy might fulfill one person, while someone helping out around the house or mowing the yard might fulfill another. Everything is so touchy because once you think you have it all figured out, something comes out of the blue and throws the famous curve ball. Friends with benefits...good, great...but doesn't someone always get hurt? Isn...

No kidding. It truly is amazing. The politics of certain elements needed to get something approved. Sometimes I think companies are wanting trouble. I mean really. If I were to follow...lets say a process to a certain company to get something approved, and they were trying to categorize it the wrong way to avoid payment. Don't they realize that there is still a trail of paperwork for the person following a correct process, to achieve the best results to complete that particular account/claim? Don't they want you to better the situation to resolve the matter? Do you want to spend more money trying to get out of something, than finding the quickest resolution and paying a much smaller price? I THINK NOT!!! O.K. I promised about relationships. Oh my young grasshoppers it has been fun listening. In relationships of ANY KIND...it will all depend. Stand on your ground, but you can not enjoy life if you have everything in a "this is how it's going to be". Haven'...

Buenas Noches. The story of intentions and observations continues. Isn't it funny how a sincere human being does the things that they do just because they want to, and society has let us down so much that people question nice acts? Jobs, partnerships, relationships, they all work the same. To assist each other. Teamwork. I question when a third party questions my responsibility or have I thought things through??? Hmm, why do you ask? Are you unsure about the decisions in your life you'll live vicariously through mine? I don't mean those questions to guide and assist for the best results. I mean the ones that ask you to sacrifice yourself. Hmmm. Intentions? Live hard. Love hard. Laugh hard. Pretty simple. Work, Play, Faith. Easy. Just remember that all I'm saying is take a step back. Remember that if you want something in life you have to go for it. Fear and all. Fear sometimes is what finally gets us off our tails. If you love someone tell them now, don't wait. If...

As a favorite song of mine says..."Mañana Vendra" it means "Tomorrow will come" Go BUY ALAS PARA VOLAR by THANIA SANZ (www.thaniasanz.com) and the song is completely translated by THANIA SANZ. Listen life is about figuring out who you are...not forgetting yourself. I'll admit, I got lost, lost it. Take it as you wish. I am starting new. You never just leave or walk away from a marriage, partnership, relationship what ever you want to call it. You strive to live honestly. Move ahead. Of course you don't throw anything away. Yes marriage is good, bad, sickness, health...so is every other meaningful relationship in your life. I was told how amazing enjoying life would be when I peeled away the layers of b.s. How much more will you enjoy if you stop, and take a good look at yourself? The journey ahead is as one friend put it, a set of cards. Lucky, but.... THEY are just not set up right. I have to flip some over, discard some, etc. I'm no poker player c...

Fragile. Every day it is a challenge to stay positive. You wake up, you tell yourself all of these wonderful affirmations, you promise no matter what, P O S I T I V E. What if within all of this positivity you realize fate, time, it has all come to a moment, when that positive side, that strength...well you hit a bit of a break down? It's not o.k. right? Get over it, stop feeling sorry for yourself, everyone goes through worse...well you know what? What ever we all go through this is not a competition, and we are all built different. I think the main point MOST of us strive towards is to love, be good, kind, work hard, so we can play hard. Remember WORK TO LIVE, not LIVE TO WORK. Balance is the trick. The YING/YANG I have always told people on a bad day, a day they cry or just need to let loose, it's o.k. We are human and every once in a while you just have to cry. It's o.k. to feel overwhelmed? 7 years to the day I moved to this state, is 7 years to the date I'm abou...
