What would you have done and how would you have gone about accomplishing your goals in that situation?

When we criticize people for any reason we lose sight of what it means to be part of humanity and build a society. Our first question should always be “What would you have done and how would you have gone about accomplishing your goals in that situation?” By asking this question and being able to provide a compressive answer we build and add instead of just subtracting and destroying. I just read an article on ABCNEWS about Hillary Clinton and what she feels about media today. I thought her response was fine and as it is an opinion she has every right to it. What bothered me though were the responses in the comment section. I feel everyone has a right to their opinion but all I ever read are complaints, I never see anyone offering constructive criticisms or another option other than “the way you did it was wrong”. There is no one right answer and the steps to accomplish hard tasks are never easy but some easy things we all can do is to ask a simple question, then listen (truly listen) to others responses and then be able to provide our own point of view. We are all on this big rock hurling thru space… If you can’t enjoy the ride then step out of line and stop blocking others who want to.

Happiness it is all within you

It struck me today (sitting at a red light before I turn into work) that we as people act how we want to be perceived. Whether we are truly perceived that way or not our outwardly actions and appearance is who/how we want to be perceived by the world. I’m going to jump around here so bear with me, but the reason this struck me as interesting (if not a “well duh” moment) is that I realized in this realization that we are in control of our own happiness and that others cannot make us happy. What makes us happy is being able to be our selves around others and be seen for who we are and who we want to be. We don’t always get this from people in our lives due to whatever circumstance but when we do have that look of love if you will it is truly amazing and can clear your mind to show you how you really are in control of your own happiness. You can just be happy with being yourself because you know you are accepted and loved for being you. I just think this is amazing and a wonderful feeling that I hope all are able to experience in their lives and hold onto so they know that just being them is what will truly make them happy.

"Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you, It will set you free"... Love these words are it hits right to the heart of what I've always felt love is and should always be! :o)

Aerodynamically a bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway.

Actions Not Words Will Always Speak Truth

“You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.  And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and pastime… …And then there are those who have the truth within them, but they tell it not in words”.

Khalil Gibran (1/6/1883)

There is Beauty in Simplicity

**There is Beauty in Simplicity**

In a world that can be filled with horrible actions by insane selfish people who they themselves cannot understand that **Beauty in Simplicity** is simply no matter the situation the human spirit will survive and show its simple beauty in the quiet ways that may not be reported by the media or tweeted about or even posted about on facebook but shone in the silent prayers that are said in our hearts for all that are hurting... Yes my Friends *"There is Beauty in Simplicity"* and my silent prayers today are for all those who have been affected by the tragic events in Aurora Colorado...

So I Am Truly Vanilla and I’m Still OK With Me!

Logging on to the inter-webs I saw an article titled What Your Favorite Ice Cream Says About You;

OK I’ll bite…I want to see what it has to say about those of us who don’t feel like we are plain but always get made fun of for picking Vanilla (French Vanilla is my Favorite).  

So here is the scoop… Yes pun is intended (pausing for laughter here….LOL)

OK so what it has to say about Vanilla is something I’ve suspected but could never really literate as it’s more a feeling so if you’ve never felt it then no amount of words will be able to express that which is Vanilla.  Below hits a couple of key points so you kind of get an idea but next time someone picks Vanilla for a flavor don’t think it’s because they are plain… No no my Friends but the complete and total opposite!!

Vanilla
There is nothing plain about Vanilla. In fact, if you love Vanilla, you are actually a colorful, dramatic risk taker who relies more on intuition than logic. Emotionally expressive and idealistic, you tend to set high goals for yourself, and push yourself to meet and exceed them. On the romantic front, you tend to rely on secure romantic relationships that fulfill your emotional needs while working toward future objectives.
