R.I.P Whitney Houston

All I can say right now is, wow.  I still don't believe it the reality hasn't hit me yet.  I was so looking forward to seeing her in the sparkle remake. I was really rooting for her come back.  Such talent gone.  R.I.P Whitney.

Sew here I go

Ok, so I missed out on the sale on the patterns that I posted not to long ago and I'm not about to spend $18 on one pattern let alone two.  I'm thinking that it may be for the best cause even though they did said easy I'm thinking easy for someone with a certain skill level. And I don't think I'm even on that level yet. lol. So what I did was go to walmart to look for a simple pattern. And found this one. In my book simple is a notch down from easy, lol. So once I conquer simple I'll move onto easy. I also took a trip to the fabric store and found the beautiful print fabric. I may make a skirt with each. I can't wait to get started, sew here I go! Til' next time.  P.S. the skirt has pockets, yayyy!

Act Of Faith book revisited

I love to revisit this book from time to time.  It has a daily meditation for each day of the year I just picked it back up today and today's meditation was on point.  I think this book is for anyone although it says for people of color.  I'll share today's entry with you and hope I'm not breaking any copyright laws.

Nothing can dim the light which shines from within. -Maya Angelou

Each of us brings to the world unique talents, gifts and abilities.  Even if you don't know what it is, or value what you do, someone, somewhere, will benefit from your presence.  No one can do what you do exactly the way you do it.  It is this uniqueness that makes you valuable to the world.  We are each a unique and valuable as the other.  It was designed that way.  A gift from God.  Gifts are not given on the basis of race or gender.  As a matter of truth, gifts come in many shapes, sizes and colors.  When you do what you do, exactly the way you do it, you are sharing God's gifts, bestowed for the good of the world.

I have something valuable to give the world.

This message was on point for me today because I am often exploring my gifts and how they can be shared with the world or even that one person.  And it saddens me when people give up on ideas just because someone beat them to the punch.  You may have the same idea but because your both unique individuals that idea more than likely will not be carried out the same way.  So I hope that this has helped someone til' next time.

Something to smile about

Awoke this morning clothed in my right mind. Opened my eyes and was able to see all the Lord has/is doing for me. Took in a deep breath and thanked the Lord for all his goodness. In other words, if you have your right mind, can see, breath, hear, talk, walk etc. That's something to smile about! And don't forget the cherry on top, whomp, it's Friday! Again, something to smile about.  The Lord is good. Til' next time my lovely people.
