i am SO proud of myself today, for going - for stepping up to that podium, and delivering a speech to 9 women, 6 case managers & some friends and family of the graduates, who completed a self - esteem course and were graduating today - the same course i completed back in 2008... i can't even describe how that made me feel, but can say that i free talked it, and talked from the heart, and i am touched they indeed felt hope and inspiration to begin a journey of their own ...
this is my passion, to pay it forward.. And this was my first step.. proud of myself, but damn i am proud of THEM, 9 women i've never met (cept one) who shared the challenges and their testimonials & i want this so badly for them.. They, in turn, inspired ME - their courage, their determination and love for one another after spending 6 weeks (3 hours a day, 5 days a week) in a classroom together.. Meeting with the Instructor for lunch on Monday, she's very much involved in the things i am passionate about (women in poverty, self esteem, addictions...etc) She has big plans and i'm excited to meet with her! It means a lot to me, that as i am walking my journey, i feel i can do something good with how far i've come so far.. Paying it forward is the most rewarding experience and this newfound confidence of mine, kicks some serious hiney - because if someone told me i would be walking up to a podium and delivering a speech to a room full of onlookers a year ago - i wouldn't have believed it.. It just feels damn good. |

She's a foxy one...........
So the other day I am sitting on the couch. Scooby (one of my dogs) is sitting next to me. Now before I go further, Scooby is a possessive dog. Possessive of me, the toys (all of them), his food, etc. If Vegas shows interest in the toys - or whatever he thinks is his he growls and acts all fierce even though Vegas is the dominant dog. Now my other dog, Vegas, isn't too possessive. She's thirteen years old and Scoob is about seven or so. So I'm sitting on the couch, Scoob is too. Vegas walks into the livingroom and goes to one of the toys and starts 'nosing' it and BAM! Scooby jumps off the couch to let ole Vegas know that is HIS toy. She relents and Scooby attacks the toy and starts playing with it. Meanwhile, ole Veg mosies over to the couch and jumps up and lays next to me which Scooby would never had allowed when he was laying there. I had to laugh out loud cause my ole foxy dog totally outsmarted Scoobers. She played him like a fiddle, cause she knew he wouldn't let her on the couch and she knew if she acted like she wanted the toy then he would want it and she knew he'd get off the couch and try to take it from her and then she could get on the couch without harassment. Now that's a pretty smart dog! :) ~~~shark~~~~~~~ |
Watching one of my most favorite movies ever, "Diary of a mad black woman" and thinking about how I used to watch this movie for inspiration to be a strong independent woman...and remembering that when I used to watch it I used to always wish and pray to find a guy like Orlando....and then it hit me...I HAVE found my Orlando in Guy. He is everything I could have ever asked for, dreamed of, thought of, prayed for, and soooooo very much more! I am so very blessed and so very loved.

Okay so there's this elderly woman that I have seen and talked to around town since I moved here 10 years ago. We see each other mostly on the bus but today as I was leaving the mall she was standing inside the doors waiting for the bus. She is super elderly but still going strong. She had missed her bus earlier and was wanting to hit up the bathroom (I know probably too much info but...) and wasn't sure when her next bus was coming. I offered to go out in the bitter winds and check the route map to let her know how much time she had. She, in all her sweet caring ways said to me, "Now be careful it's mighty cold out there and I don't want you getting sick for my sake." How can you not want to help someone like this out and.... smile! :)

Had an impromptu dinner with my mom and sister tonight. After we ate, we sat there for an hour and a half just talking and laughing. It was much needed after a looooong day at work.

I watched a little girl pet a dog at the Farmer's Market this morning. The dog was almost bigger than she was!
