I am so happy these past few days. No, nothing's different. I still have some woes in between my toes. I'm still not $5000 stable in my bank account after every pay day and each bill is paid. I'm still waiting on a decision from the application committee at the law school I desire to go to, I'm still fumbling around the dark in the friendship department and I'm still...well single lol.
But those are the petty things. Life forces me to grow up and take charge at the drop of a dime...literally a dime. But it is what it is. Some years ago I would've been crying my eyes out, but I've manned up since then. I handle things differently now.
No matter what we go through, no matter what we face each day, be reminded that we're women. We're ALIVE, we're whole. Make life yours.
I woke up to a message yesterday, that my poetry was published in the online publication of ALIVE Magazine. I was elated. I was already smiling and by the time I read the message I was grinning. Totally! I haven't promoted my poetry in a few months well. Haven't given up, but trying to focus on my novel. So seeing that I've been published in ALIVE, I feel rejuvenated. And what better way than being featured in an article that celebrates women??
Thank you to the editors at ALIVE for selecting my submissions for this special issue.
In this March 2010 issue of ALIVE magazine, women are celebrated. The articles are vibrant, inspiring and uplifting. I urge you, if you're ALIVE, to click the link, sit with your coffee, tea, juice, put your feet up and enjoy the articles. I surely did.
We're going to constantly face daily frustrations. Life isn't ever that easy. We have to make it so for ourselves. WE can do that by simply being happy with what we have. Feeling ALIVE in everything we do, no matter what. We can face each day with an attitude of victory ... I'm starting to sound like Joel Osteen...but you get the jist!
I hope you're encouraged and inspired to take a step toward something you've been avoiding...take the challenge and make it your best.
Song of the day..India.Arie's "Private Party"...enjoy
