Who's Pulling On Your Strings????????

Hello Loved One's !  It has been a while and I thought to myself....."Kenyetta you have not written anything in a minute and you should!" Well I was all prepared to write to you on different topics but something happened this week that made me think of a Note that I had written a year ago on Face Book!  I had to go back and read that note to remind myself who I am and WHO'S I AM!  So I hope this touches someone as it re-touched me.  Love you all!

A marionette is a puppet CONTROLLED from above using wires or strings. A marionette's puppeteer is called a MANIPULATOR. With that being said (or typed, lol) lets stop allowing people to control us (when we are happy sad or angry). No one deserves that power. Have you ever been in a place and was all smiles until you saw someone come in that you had a problem with and then you went to all frowns........Manipulator controlling those strings hon! I will take it a step further and say that the person wasn't even in the room...you just heard there name and got enraged.  Now that person really had mega Power! So many times we tend to forget that God has given us dominion over all things in our lives and we keep quiet instead of speaking life to a situation.  Lets not lose ourselves, no matter how pressing a situation is.  I have learned in the last two months that babe "its just not that serious."  So many times I have allowed someones presence or memory of something they did to me, ruin my day! I would think so much about it, that I would literally make myself physically sick!  No longer!  Too much power!!!!!!!!! Decided it was time to cut those strings and act like Pinocchio and say "I'm alive! I'm human....no wooden dummy here."   Lets not be anyone's wooden dummy! You have a heart that beats strong!  Lets use it to LOVE unconditionally, LIVE life to the fullest and LAUGH at all the wonderful times!!!!!! Not professing perfection (FFFFAAARRRR from perfect, just ask my sisters lol), just as I continue to read and study the word (and talk to my mom), I vow to "try something different" until it becomes second nature! Love you All, and I feel your love back!  Until next time........Ciao for now! {kisses and hugs}

There Has NEVER Been a Day That Last FOREVER

Regrets, Grudges, Depression, Sorrow, Shame......All of these things exist for one reason ONLY!  Its because YOU have failed to LET IT GO!

                                                           

                                                                    

Many times we look back at our Yesterday, instead of basking in Today while looking forward to our Tomorrow.  I can't count how many times in my life I have been sitting still not doing anything and all of a sudden I began to think.......and think........and think.  All the while I am thinking of a time that impacted my life in a way that was not so positive.  I would replay that moment over in my head over and over again.  The more I replayed the incident, the more I felt my face cringe, the more I felt my head pound, the more I felt my heart race!  I found myself in an emotional tug of war  

I found myself MAD all over again.  I even got so caught up in the "rewinding of that moment"  that I would argue "I should have said this, or I should have said that, or if I had done that the outcome would have been this!" Logically I knew this was crazy but emotionally I just could not care.  I was so fixated on my PAST (you catch that), that I could not see how it affected my present.  At that moment, time stood still for me and I had reverted back to the person I was two or even three years ago.    I was holding myself and my progression hostage by simply thinking about my past life.  The word PAST simply means "No longer current; gone by; over".  So why do we keep pulling it back to the forefront? Why do we keep allowing the very thing that caused so much grief to rear its ugly head again?  Are we glutton for punishment?  Do we simply like turmoil in our life?  Can't BE!  We have to learn that what was in our PAST, is just that.....the PAST.  Just like when you are watching TV and you don't like what is on, you turn the channel; so lets do the same thing with our thinking process.  If whatever you are thinking gives you unwanted stress, then simply change your thought process.  Think on the great things you have accomplished, the people that love you, and the many people you love.  I know it is easy to say and hard to do, but to truly be the best you, that you can be, we have to take the shackles off so we can be free to run after what is in store for us in our Future.  Aren't you excited about life? I know I am. Until next time! Ciao for now!

Looking within...

I was at the store when I started listening to a conversation yesterday (not intentionally) and I overheard a female tell her friend "I don't know why but I just don't like her."  In this response her friend tells her, "Well if you don't have a reason, then the problem is you.  Either you are choosing this emotion with no cause, or you are jealous of her and don't want to admit it!"  I thought to myself, Wow, now she is a person that I would love in my circle.  She's the type of person that will be the friend you need, and not the one you WANT all the time!

How many times within ourselves do we judge people without even knowing them.  How many times do we dislike someone for no apparent reason.  I hope the answer is none, for those who are reading this, but if it isn't, then what in you felt this person was so......ugh?!  Is it like the lady said today? Are you jealous of that person, or did you just wake up one day and say "the first person I see I'm just not going to like them?"  These types of behavior are juvenile people!  Life is too short!  I bet you that the individual that the female did not like, didn't even know she didn't like her.  She's going on with her life, enjoying herself and this person is stuck with this person and emotion weighing her down. 

I will take it a step further.  Have you been the person that has been disliked by someone and you didn't know what you could have possibly done to that person to receive such a cold shoulder?  Well,  I have.  Does it feel good? No.  Do you keep going on with life? Yes.  I would think "what in the world did I do to this person?" I came to the conclusion that if they haven't come to me voicing their problem with me, then the problem isn't me, then its them. People its time to live by the ever so popular motto, "Live, Laugh, Love"!   For the past few months I have been trying to live by this motto.  Its unfortunate that sometimes, something tragic has to happen so that we decide to change, but I digress.  We have one life and its too short to live with anger, resentment, or malice.  I have come to a point where I am truly loving all.  Dont get me wrong, I do not go to my enemies hugging and sharing my most intimate secrets, but I do speak, acknowlege their existence, and smile.  If this is not done, then you are giving them something they should never have and that's power over YOU!  So go deep into yourselves and analyze are you holding any resentment?  Only you can answer that, and if the answer is yes, then let it go.  Until next time, Ciao for now! 

Loving, Within

The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely” - Carl Gustav Jung; Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.  ~Harvey Fierstein; It is the chiefest point of happiness that a man is willing to be what he is.  ~Desiderius Erasmus;  You were born an original.  Don't die a copy.  ~John Mason

As you can see from the famous quotes above, truly loving ones' self has been a topic for years.  Have you ever (if just for a moment) compared your success with someones else.  Did you then feel like your accomplishments weren't good enough?  Or did you have someone in your life that possessed all these amazing gifts within and you wondered why you didn't have them?  "I'm too short, I'm not as smart, I'm not as social, I wish I was more assertive, I wish I stood out in crowds" 

Enough is Enough!  Stop comparing yourself, amongst yourself!  God created you to be exactly how He wanted you to be.  To question why or why not is saying that a mistake was made in your creation and He doesn't make them.

Sometimes we are so critical of ourselves, that our opinions becomes our truths (so to speak).  When in actuality the truth is you are amazing, you have all the necessary gifts inside to complete any task brought your way, and if you don't then you definitely have someone in your circle that does.  You are made in the image of the Most High!  You love and are loved.  Continue to look at yourself in a positive light.  Stop comparing yourself with others.  They are an original and so are you, so you aren't suppose to be the same!  So go on with your wonderful life never to wonder if you are good enough or if others think of you as the same.  Aren't you glad that there is only one true judge! Until next time, Ciao for now!
