After The Storm, There HE Is.

PROBLEMS, DILEMMAS, STRUGGLES, DISAPPOINTMENTS, WORN OUT, TUGGED, STRETCHED... A few words we each experience. Sometimes, you just want to pull out those pair of spiritual scissors & cut all of the negative vibes. Although things will never stay the same, whether good or bad, you should know that through it all you are BLESSED! Troubles throughout your years are only recurring lessons.. learn! :) For a few weeks, I've been in situations where I observed things that put me in an uncomfortable place -- I became nervous, began to have second thoughts of excelling & was close to doubting my own Gift. The subject of my experience isn't important, but I share this with you because I, myself learned (from observation, great friends & that ONE counsel in my ear) that you have to be strong when facing the adversary. *FAITH!* We speak it, Let's have it, Let's show it! Being strong in certain areas/careers is definitely easier SAID than done, it takes time for many, trust me, I'm a witness, but remember to believe in yourself. Work from the inside, out. If you have goals & you know that you are capable of exceeding beyond your own expectations or that you have no limit, keep that in mind. Even when things do get rough, take time out (even if only for a few seconds), relax, search for that still, sacred place inside of you, take a deep breath & prepare to come out & face the world again & again & again. There comes a time in every ones life when we all reach a breaking point. What many of us don't understand is that the breaking point is the best point. It doesn't break you, rather becomes your breakthrough to a better you. Stay consistent. Roll with the punches. But trust.. The light (God's Glory) is close. <3

Why Women Like Flowers :)

One of the best & easiest ways to bring a smile to a woman's face is to bring her flowers.

THEY ARE TRADITIONAL

The giving of flowers stretches waaay back into the far reaches of history. The Greeks & Egyptians gave symbolic meanings to the flowers long ago, some of which we still use today. In the Victorian era, these meanings were used as a complex message system, signaling everything from romantic love to forlorn rejection. In fact, when a man, in this time, wanted to start officially courting a woman, he would present her with a bouquet of flowers to begin the ritual. Flowers are a timeless symbol of love & affection, & every woman loves to be adored!

THEY PLAY TO OUR SENSES

The wonderful thing about a bouquet of flowers is that they are a multi-sensory experience. The myriad colors are a feast for our eyes, & the smells that come from the open blooms are simply divine. Also, a flower's petals are soft & smooth to the touch. Flowers provide stimulation for the senses, & give a woman a moment to stop her busy day to immerse herself in the smell, sight, & feeling of her precious bouquet.

                                  

WHEN A MAN BRINGS YOU FLOWERS, HE'S NOT AFRAID TO STEP OUT OF HIS COMFORT ZONE!

For men, buying flowers is not a natural instinct. When a man buys flowers for a woman he is often venturing out of his comfort zone. While he may not know much about flowers, a man who buys his woman a bouquet feels deeply enough for her to endure some discomfort in order to make her happy. Just the thought of a man going out on a limb for her will make most women insanely happy. :)

Different Counsels In My Ear, Yet Only ONE, to Me, Seems Clear.

First, Happy New Year to all the lovely people out there. God is truly an encore God...for HE has given us another chance to become greater! I see the best in you all! :)

Now.. although this is a fashion site, I'd like to share my heart with you. <3 Although I don't know the entire world, I deeply desire for Everyone to be happy & successful. For those dreamers: Hold on. Continue to study into what you'd like to pursue & become comfortable with yourself while doing it. To all of my poets: PLEASE keep painting beautiful pictures/stories with your words...Poetry is love, seriously. By the way, poetry can be created anywhere, from anyone..even if only in your heart. I love you guys. For those of you with the gift of Sound :) ... to me, singing is like dreaming with your voice. No one sounds like you (whether good or bad. Lmbo.) & no one feels what you do when you use your vocals. Singing is alittle piece of Heaven..it soothes the soul. To the wonderful dancers of all kinds: Do it & do it WELL! However you choose to define 'Well,' do it! To dance is to be out of yourself & to become more wonderful, more brilliant, more powerful. When I dance, I like to think that the focus is on my inner self..to dance is to hear my heart speak & that's a part of why I enjoy it so much. If you'd like to act, let me tell you...if you can walk, talk, crawl, make different facial expressions, you can act & you can perfect it to your satisfaction as well. Get out there -- network! You are who you say you are & I believe everyone is capable of the greatest achievement possible AND beyond. Whatever it is you'd like to do..keep your faith & have fun!  Faith makes all things possible...all things! I have Faith in all of you.

This picture represents Faith. You plant ONE little seed & you're returned with a mulitude of flowers. If you have the SMALLEST amount of Faith, you are returned with more than what you've asked for....Try it! :)
