For the longest time I’ve desired the pursuit of a rich happiness in my heart; I’m now taking the time to fulfill it. In the last month, I’ve dedicated time to go after life and not let anything stop me. Maybe its all the caffeine talking, but I feel confident and bold about the opportunities out there. Giving is never option for me. Many hard choices lie ahead, but I hope it all leads to a more blissful life. Everyday we make the choice on how to live our life; you can change your fate. There are many ways I have been ‘dumped in the dirt’ during the last several months, years, but I’ve opted to use those experiences has insight for the future; I want to maintain my integrity for a deeper relationship with God. So during this time, I’ve intended to lose myself in a myriad of books, movies, exercise and writing… and loving on people. I’m also using this time to broaden my world on the joys of coffee and dancing. These are all things that make me smile at the end of the day.

Something I’ve been thinking about lately: are there people who come into your life for a certain time, and then you are supposed to go your separate ways? A part of me thinks that could be true; friendships that we grow out of. But I believe in the long haul. Striving is a basic quality for me.
