It's not always easy to know who we are, where we are going, and what we are going to do in life. However, there's something inside of us that's always longing to find out these answers. May this haiku encourage you to find your purpose. Enjoy!
Hidden deep within
Lay the passion of my soul
I’ve found my purpose.

Don't Abort Your Dreams
It's amazing to me how often we abort our dreams and our passions with excuses, taking advantage of time, and allowing others tell us who we are. Well who are you, and what do you want to do in life?
I too am guilty of falling into the trap of the excuses such as "I will accomplish this dream later, it will take too long, I am not good enough, they won't like it, and so on and so on." I have come to realize that it all starts with me, and I must not be afraid of the greatness that's inside of me. I am the only one that can make my dreams become a reality. God has already given you and I the power to make our dreams happen, and to become wealthy with the gifts and talents we possess within.
I encourage you today to take control of your life. Don't allow everything about you, or that belongs to you to die. There's Greatness in you. Accept it and walk in it.

Looking for a Sign - Haiku
Outside my window,
I look at the clouds with hope
For a brighter day.
Sometimes life can throw us a curb ball and we're not sure how and where the ball will land. Thank God that He's always there to show us the way and give us the strength to make each day. Don't give up, things will get better.
Your comments are welcome.

What is the Haiku saying to you? I hope you are inspired. Please share your thoughts.

Celebrating My Day
It's great waking up this mornng just to relish in the day that I came into this world of particle. I am blessed and eternally grateful for family and friends that love me. I am blessed to be awaken to purpose and know that God has great things in store for me. It's been a wonderful day. May family really cheerished me, and made me feel so special. Refreshed indeed! I like the part of a verse in a song by Vashawn Mitchell that says, "...it's not only my time, it's my turn. Thank you, Heavenly Father. The best is yet to come!
I thank my family for making me feel so loved and special today!
I am loving me inside out!

Time Killers: Learn How to Get a Grip on Time
Life can become so overwhelming; especially, when there are so many things to get done. Plus, the time to do those many tasks get lost in the shuffle. Many believe their busy schedule is the culprit for not having enough time to get things completed, but in actuality it's their time management that needs to be addressed and mastered. Some of the things that keep most from managing time well are putting off tasks, trying to do too many things at once, and not being able to decipher between what needs to be done now versus what can be put off for a later time.
As a working mom, keeping up with deadlines had become burdensome because I did not organize my time wisely. Through the years, I realized that I needed to get rid of the clutter in my mind before I could manage my time effectively. One day, a light bulb went off in my head when the answer to what was hurting me stared me right in the face. It was something I discovered that I now call "time killers." These time killers were holding me back, keeping me from accomplishing tasks, and fulfilling my goals. I knew it was time to get rid of them, and that I did. Today, I can say I have a better grip on time management and I am doing more with my time. Sometimes I have relapses; however, any time killer that tries to raise its ugly head, I nip in the bud. The biggest ones that I have found are listed below. If you want to start effectively managing your time today, I would suggest getting rid of the following time killers out of your life.
Time Killers
Procrastination
"I will do it tomorrow." I will do it later." "I have time." These are the lies most people say out loud or in their minds to convince themselves that they will have time to accomplish their tasks and achieve their goals. Wake up! Procrastination will delay your dreams, your goals, and everything else you set out to accomplish in your life. Do not put off your tasks for tomorrow, because tomorrow is not promise to you. "The time is now" is what you must keep telling yourself, and don't let procrastination kill your time anymore.
Laziness
"I am tired." "I don't feel like doing anything." These lazy thoughts and feelings will come, but it must not be entertained. There is a reason why you feel lazy. Pay attention to your actions, and evaluate your thoughts and emotions. Don't be afraid to observe and confront why you put things off, and make excuses for not accomplishing a task. This is the only you will be able to destroy time killers. In the end, you will find out what was blocking you from possessing effective time management.
Self Entertainment
Everyone like to have fun and be entertained, but there's a time and a place for everything. Don't waste needless time watching T.V, playing various types of games, surfing on the internet, talking/texting on the phone, and whatever else that keeps you from accomplishing your tasks or projects. They are time wasters, which eats up your energy and the time you could have used to do things that needed to be done right-away. You will get ahead quicker if you just put in the time now.
I believe all time killers are manifested when something is going on mentally and emotionally on the inside of a person. You must know what it is so it can be addressed. The goal is to move forward and be more productive in your daily life. I believe you can and I believe you will. Start changing the way you think today, so you can effectively manage your time tomorrow.
