signifance

I am so blessed…God is gracious and He has given me the encouragement when I have needed it.

Last nite I had dinner with a dear friend and he was just beyond encouraging. He actually says to me..you have so much unlocked potential, you are intelligent, you have an open-mind and you are willing to learn. I was like wow! No one has actually articulated that to me before…it really meant a lot that someone actually expressed it. The best part there was no hidden agenda behind it, not trying to get something for it or anything. It was just a friend expressing their opinion. Which really meant a lot to me.

THAN…This morning I came in and the gal I have been working for brought me a present of GORGEOUS earrings. I love them! (Deborah you would too) she says I just wish you success in all you do. I have been here about a month…and she says to me yesterday, I don’t believe the reasons you were let go from DW. You are always finding new ways of doing things…you are very bright and you have a great personality…and a great teacher. I am like holy cow!

It just was nice to have a day of positiveness and to know that ya know I am blessed and this really is the start of something new and I am very excited about all the opportunities that are in front of me. I have three interviews this week…one on Monday and some other opportunities. So that is VERY exciting. All I have to say..is, it is about time! J

Love you all! Thanks your prayers and support!! *hugs* and I am slowly switching to Gmail…been having hotmail issues!

am i too nice??

so i know it has been awhile...so HI everyone...things here are better. i am doing some contract work for the state at the office of consumer council.

welll i have been doing a lot of thinking lately...and so here is a question...why is it that people who are nice seem to be taken advantage of? and those you are so called friends end up being liars, cheaters, and have no moral compass, seem to get away with things with no need to take responsibility for their actions.

well i have decided to stop letting that happen. Yes i will continue to be myself and loving and caring, however i am no longer going to let things just slide by anymore. people need to take responsibility for things they do...and for the consequences. Especially when they affect other people's life so deeply.

I haven't given thought to how i am going to do this...however...people sloughing off their responsibilities and going back on their word...i will no longer put up with...i am tired of being so nice that i get taken advantage of...i am going to start standing up for myself and well not be a doormat, because.."you are such a nice person."

so otherwise i am great...been walking to work saving money on gas....only have one more piece of furniture and then i am set! been making new friends down here and it is a great area. Ok i need to get ready for work...miss y'all and take care!!!


OOHHHH i almost forgot!!! I have some news that i will be sharing soon! i just need to get things confirmed and all that good stuff! I will let you know as soon as i can!
