So anyone that know me know I love my spanish novellas.
Why was there a scene with two ladies in the car.
The one driving was complaining about her life and how she doesn't want to live anymore (don't ask me how I know I just know) you hear the sound of the car going faster and faster.
But you see cars passing them by.
(Blank stare) Then all of a sudden they are on a deserted road and then she drives off a cliff.
WTH!
Then to add insult to injury they thrown from car on this 100ft drop and the paramedics said one of them is alive.
She looking like she just fell down and scraped her knee!
I cant deal! But I can't stop watching! ‪#‎LaReinadelSur‬

Hello T2P'ers

Today's thought!

Remember when someone asks for you to be there! There is a good percentage of "that being there" that is mental! Its one thing to be physical in ones life but its a another to be there mentally!

Good Afternoon T2P'ers!

I know I have been out of it a little bit lately. But I am here. lol

Here is my thought for the day. I really would like for you to look at a relationship (lover, friend or family) and ask yourself:

WHAT HAPPENED TO US?

Lately I have been in my feelings and could not understand why some relationships fall by the wayside. Why do they cause so much destruction? Why did they ever exist? Did you ever love this person? These are some of the questions you may want to ask or may have asked yourself before. I know that sometime ago I asked myself those questions and I could not figure out the reason why. I mean it was plain as day and clear as night but I could not answer them. However now when I look back on the situations (because there was more than one) and the handling of those situations I found the answer.

Sometimes we feel that love is something we don't have to work at. Yes it is part of our make up, our very essence. However if you don't exercise love, love will become exactly what you don't want it to be. You will fight and fight for this love but this love you are fighting for has already turned you into something you were not in the beginning. Then you start to beat yourself up because things are not perfect and clear. You begin to beat up the other persons spirit because they are not perfect and all their flaws are showing. Then when you can't beat up yourself for the lie that you have been living, you begin to beat the relationship up for the truth. You will become vindictive, nasty, thinking you are making them pay. When all and all you claimed you loved this person and it take two to make a situation.

I am not saying that the door does not swing both ways. But at what point do you stop, sit down, and get to the bottom it. At what time do you stop being so mad that you have cursed this person from head to toe, you have made this person out to be a villain, or making this person pay. At what do you say to yourself what am I doing? What I have learned is that I can only be truthful about who and what I am, what the situation was/is, and just what part I played in all of this. But if you can not look at yourself and honestly answer "What Happened To Us"! There is a problem because I guarantee you that if you are not asking yourself this very question then you are doing yourself an injustice, the relationship an injustice and most definitely your LOVE a huge injustice.

Remember that LOVE was never meant to be mean, nasty, or vindictive however if you are doing any of the things I mentioned above!

WHAT DOES THAT MAKE YOU?

Stop what are you doing and be honest with yourself and ask yourself WHAT HAPPENED TO US! WHAT HAPPENED TO US? WHAT HAPPENED TO US?

Peace N Blessings

I choose bump against the grain!
Sometimes i wasn't bumping loud enough.
Listen. Knock Knock.
That's me being me.
I encourage you to Be you its such an easy thing to do when you conceive, n believe, so you can achieve.

Good afternoon T2P'ers

Thought of the day.....

Know this if you don't know anything else! You are blessed, You are blessed, you are blessed.
There is no other way to put it!
So even when the storm comes you proclaim that you are, believe that you are, and then know that you are BLESSED!

Stop letting your blessings be second, stop letting them be something you think only when times get hard, and start acknowledging them and you will see how in the process you will acknowledge yourself as the blessing you are!

Peace n Blessings

T2P - Throw Back - Devil you can't have me (part 2)

2014-01-08T11:27:00.000-06:00

Saturday, June 6, 2009

Devil you can't have me!

I want to thank everyone for their responses to my thought in hopes of helping my friend out! I wanted to share with you part 2 of this. This is for you my friend!

My friend called me about 2 days ago and did not sound right. You know how you know when someone is down and out right off the back? Because we have been friends so long. So of course I was perplexed for a moment because I did not know if he was in a better mind set or he was calling to give me some bad news. Well needless to say he was in a better mind set but he did share some bad news with me.

Okay deep breath and here goes....He expressed how he thought about every way that he could end this. At first I had a blonde moment because I was like "end what"? Lol! Then I was like WHOA!!!!! In my mind I was thinking are you serious and did not realize that I said it out loud. He paused for a moment then said yes!

My friend went on to tell me how he tried drinking to numb the pain but it didn't fully work! He thought about taking a bottle of pills and said that he did not want to do that. Then he decided to take a shower and try to wash off the bad feeling. He said while he was in the shower that he thought that would be the best way to go. As I listened I shed some tears because this was not the friend that I know. This was a demon that had latched on to him and was not trying to let him go! And to my surprise he went on and said how he tried to cut off his air while up under the water. Basically trying to drown himself. He said he must have passed out for a minute because when he realized it he had been in the tub for sometime. He stated that he wrote out a 6 page letter of all things that were troubling him and that was his final thing. He said that he was being selfish and he did not want anybody trying to do anything or bugging him! Now you can more than likely see the expression on my face. As I thanked GOD that the prays me and everyone sent up was working. Because he had not taken his life and didn't seem to want to go through with it! I said LORD tell me what to say or do. Because you know I was already at my front door ready to put IKE and MIKE to work! Lol!

Now ladies and gentleman I am going to get a little spiritual in the next part! So stay with me!

What came to me was to ask him as a friend....What does he want or need for me to do? He said basically do you! He said you already do so much without even knowing it and you have been an angel from the start! You have been there when no one else has and you are always able to give me something that's why I called you! Right then and there I said LORD you shol right! Yes I got a little ebonic! Lol! But right then the LORD showed me the power of spirit and love. So I told him that I loved him and I was not going to let him go out without a fight! And you know I can pounce when I need to! LOL! At that moment I told the devil----You can't have him!!! No matter what you do devil YOU CAN NOT HAVE HIM!!!! Oh you might have got me on the battle because I was not fully prepared but I am a trooper and I don't back down easily! You you better be ready for war! So now if you feeling froggy then bring it! Because I am not backing down and I got a slew of others you gon have to deal with after me if you can even get up afterwards! Yeah I said it with authority a lil ebonic and ghetto I know! But hey dats how you got to talk to the devil! It seems he does not understand good english!! LOL!

I want to thank all of you for the response....They all were very thought provoking....I am glad that you found that glimmer of hope and the understanding to know that the devil is a busy entity and that his main purpose is to take you away from the goodness and the blessings that the lord has in store for you. Sometimes you have to go through the bad to get to the good....

What I have learned in my years is that everything! I mean everything has a purpose and sometimes we feel that the purpose is (the devil) teaching us that we are ugly, that we are poor, that we are nothing, that everyone else has it better than us! But all along the LORD has given us the power to go far and beyond what we can see or hear and sometimes comprehend! But what the LORD has shown me during that time in my life when things got really dark! That as long as I have a glimmer of hope the devil can not have me! As long as I believe that the LORD has a purpose for me the devil can not have me! And as long as I have blessed friends and family that the LORD has placed around me the devil surely can not have me!

The devil you can't have me!!

I still pray for my friend and for myself and anyone that may be going or gone through something! It is not over and done that easy but if we continue to let the devil know he can have us it will become easier to keep him away from you! I pray so that we all may be blessed beyond comprehension and that the devil with his tricks and demons can never have us. Mess with us maybe---but never have us!!!

PEACE N BLESSINGS

T2P - Throw Back - I am tired....I am tired.....So Tired...

2014-01-06T18:15:00.000-06:00

This throwback thought stems from a time when a good friend of mine was going through some trials and tribs (tribulations). This was a trying to time not only in his life but in mine as well. This is a two part thought and a little lengthy. So bare with me. I know that we are in 2014, however I think these trials and tribs are ever present today. I would still like your comments, thoughts and or concerns. I will post part 2 on Wednesday 1/82/014.

I am tired....I am tired....So tired....

I had a conversation with a friend this past week. I was in awe at the way the friend spoke of their life and those things in and around it. I did not know that my friend felt this way! I know that we all go through some things in life and sometimes things hit us in ways we do not expect. I listen to my friend and they express there feelings and at first I was like okay. Then I was like wait are you serious? Well I guess let me shed some light. I once told my friend if anything ever gets to the point where you feel you do not want to be here anymore you call me. You call me and talk with me! I did state that but I never thought in a million years that I would receive this call. At first I was at a lost for words because reality had really set in. And I was searching my mind, soul, and spirit on what to say. I almost got choked up not to mention caught up. But I had to say something, do something, or make some kind of change in this thought process my friend had. I started silently praying and asking the Lord to guide me and for me to choose my words wisely.

Well the Lord guided my heart to listen. I asked this friend to explain it to me, tell what it feels like? Because this was the 10th time that I heard him I am tired! I don't know why I choose those words. I have always been one to put myself in the drivers seat so to speak! The Lord knew that he would explain this to me! But I was still in awe! He spoke of how he was tired of always being the under dog! He was tired of struggling and always coming up short! He stated what is it all for? Is it really worth it? Why fight? Why go from day to day when you already know that its not going to get any better?

What I told my friend that life is a precious thing and the lord has much in store for you. You have so much here on earth and life can only be what we make of it! You have brought much happiness, many smiles, and so much love to those around you. Not to mention the people you have touched! He seemed to calm down and be okay for the moment. We talked more after that and I even called him before I went to bed last night! He seemed to be okay. I know that the Lord will make a way but I must speak on the reality of the situation!

So my question to all of you is---
What spiritual words or guidance can you give someone that maybe going through something like this?
If you may have been through or know someone that has been through it? What did you do or say?

I ask you this so that maybe you can shed some light on his trials and tribulations! Or maybe give him a glimmer of hope.

Peace N Blessings

T2P - Throw Back - What was not being said!

I wanted to do a thought today in remembrance of a friend of mine that passed recently due to a fatal car wreck. I wanted to pay homage to him with a thought. So Lamar this is for you.

Sometimes in life we think that we will live forever and ever. We feel that we can go from day to day and be okay without speaking or even acknowledging that we have family, friends and loved ones. In life we sometimes have things that happen to us or we get into certain situations that we may not know how to handle. We sometimes speak out but we are not heard. We sometimes want to tell the people around us what is truly bothering us. But our pride stands in the way or we feel that those people will not understand where we are coming from. Ultimately you feel that those same people will turn a death ear to you! Because they feel that you are full of it or you just like being a problem. Then sometimes you travel and meet people that make that life or transition of that life a lot easier for you. You started to open up about your life and the things that bother you and make you tick. All the while allowing people to see the real you. The you that nobody would have seen by just looking at you. I did not know that you were such a deep person and that you saw the world the way you did. But in all honesty I never gave you the chance to express that. I went off of what I seen or what I had heard. Lamar I know that there was so much you wanted to do and say but never got the chance. I am glad that this trip I gave you the chance to express who you really are. It has been truly a blessing knowing you!

Lamar may God bless your soul and keep you close. I know that you are in a better place. Just know that you have touched so many lives with your time here on earth.

What I can say to those of you reading this. What I can say is never let the moment pass you by. Never let a petty argument or fight keep you from calling or contacting someone. Never let a moment go by without telling someone you love them. Never take this life for granted. Because one day you are here and then the next you could be gone. If you have something to communicate to someone please communicate it. If you want to make someone smile or laugh then do it. If there is something you want to do in life then please do it. Remember your blessings come from the energy and spirit you put out into the universe. Don't wait until you receive the bad news, or until the casket is closed to want to put all that energy out there. By then it is too late! Put it out there every chance you get!!

Peace N Blessings

T2P - Throw Back - What Can Make This World A Better Place 2

2013-11-15T10:56:00.001-06:00

Monday, May 18, 2009
Hello to everyone....I want to thank everyone for your responses!
Now after looking over the answers and the explanation of those answers! I feel that there was no wrong answer and that all answers were valid ones! All the answers in true retrospect will make this world a better place!

Here's the list of the top 5

1ST LOVE
2ND PEACE CAME IN A CLOSE SECOND
3RD GOD
4TH UNDERSTANDING
5TH HONESTY AND PRIDE

It warms my heart to know that we are all on the same page on our views of this world! It does not matter who, what, when, or where you got the notation, but you got it! That this world would be a much better place with a good healthy dosage of all of the above! If you look at the individuals on this mailing list! You may not know it, but we are all different, from different walks of life and we live in different locations around the world. But some how we all seem to share the same views! But you know what is so good and true about that? Is that it only takes one to make a difference! Maybe not the big bang theory, but still a difference! Think about how you touch one person and that person touches someone else! Now sometimes in this world you look at all the bad and you think that there is no good! But then I look at this list and look how god has touched us all some way, some how! It makes me feel good that I am doing this "THOUGHT"!

Now I am sure that someone on this list maybe going through something right now, and may feel like giving up, and not trying anymore! But you know what my friend although you were going through something you sat that aside for a moment and thought about a possible solution for this world of ours! Do you know how strong that is? Look at how much power we all hold!!! We have to power to turn a frown upside down, a sad time into a happy time, turn confusion into understanding, and take a so call non blessing and turn it into a blessing! And yes I know that times will get bad and things sometimes will go a lil crazy! But know that Blessings come in all shape and sizes.

JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BLESSING>>>>>>>>LOVE IS PEACE.... AND THROUGH LOVE AND PEACE GOD WILL BE A VALID FORCE IN OUR LIFE ......NOT ONLY IN YOUR LIFE....IN OTHER LIVES THAT YOU MAY TOUCH OR COME IN CONTACT WITH! AND WITH UNDERSTANDING YOU WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND NOT ONLY THINGS YOU ARE GOING THROUGH BUT THE THINGS OTHERS MAYBE GOING THROUGH.......AND NONE OF THIS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE IF YOU WERE NOT HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND OTHERS......AND IF YOU DID NOT HAVE PRIDE IN WHO OR WHAT YOU ARE....AND WHAT YOU REPRESENT! NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE!

IF YOU DID NOT BELIEVE THAT WE ARE CONNECTED SOMEHOW. I THINK YOU SHOULD RE READ THIS THOUGHT! WE ARE CONNECTED IN MORE WAYS THAN YOU KNOW!

PEACE N BLESSINGS

T2P - Throw Back - "Excuses" Everybody Has 1

2013-11-08T13:54:00.001-06:00

May 22, 2009

I had a conversation with my best friend the other day and we got on the subject of people and excuses. It seems that we have encountered quite a few people that seem to always have an excuse or two about this or that! My best friend said that maybe this world of technology may have a part in it. Because now people are to busy for themselves.

What gets me is that I believe it goes deeper than that. Now I do believe that technology does plays a part in today's world. Because it is so easy for someone to get used to hiding behind an email, text, or a webpage! It seems that now if you add someone to your page or you text them a forward then you are doing what is required of you! Although that does play a part I believe it goes deeper than that! I believe it starts with the type of person you are. You want to ask people why they don't call you, visit you, or keep in contact with you! When they do call you, or try to visit, you never answer or call back or you are always to busy! But you can talk, visit, go out of town or be with someone else 24-7. Then when you are asked did you get the message or did you forget that you made a promise! You have a million and one excuses about why you did not do what you were supposed to.

In reality you don't need to give me or anyone any excuse about your whereabouts! You just need to tell it straight up! If you forgot you forgot! If you just didn't call or show up! Say that! Save all the drama and the lies for someone else! Instead you give the long story about how you didn't have time, how the dog made you do it, or how something in this world of ours prevented you from contacting or showing up to where you said you would be! Then you wonder why things keep happening to you the way they do! Karma is a bad girl! She comes back at just the right time to show you exactly what kind of energy you are putting out into the world. I say this to all those people near and far that have had someone give them an excuse or been the one giving excuses. Think about what you are doing. I mean if you do not want to be bothered then say so! If you can not make it then let that person know! I am sure you would want the same from that person! Don't wait until weeks, months, or years down the road and then give an excuse about how this happen or that happen.

Now some people on this list may take this to heart! The old saying goes if the shoe fits! However this thought is not to arouse any anger in anyone or to point fingers! The thought is to bring to the light the fact that people are full of excuses and sometimes you might not know that you are full of excuses until somebody brings it to your attention.

The next time someone gives you an excuse think about how many times they have done that! Think about how many times you have done that! If your average out weighs their average then you need to work on yourself. If their average out weighs yours then you need to work on your circle of friends!

PEACE N BLESSINGS

T2P -Throw Back - The Poem With No Name

2013-10-30T17:41:00.001-05:00

May 5, 2009

I have been praying for my life
This life of strife
Uneasy is this road I travel this day
My Lord said it will not always be this way
Yes Lord I know this to be true
But I can't help doubting this when I am going through
I pray for my soul and my spirit....GOD
I feel the temptation and the trials they are so hard
Yes I know, I know that I am blessed
Even when all this stress
Starts to mount I try to break it down piece by piece
All along I am begging and pleading for peace
So many nights I've cried
No one would know because I am crying on the inside
Not knowing what my next step would be
Or if anyone would be able to help me
I had to endure days and nights
With no gas or lights
No money to sit down and eat
And the hunger was making me weak
Just when I thought I was done and this was the end
My Lord you stepped in and said let me carry you my friend
He said because all this time you have believed in 3
And you were not afraid to let anyone see
On this day when this came to me I just broke down and cried
Because I will no longer hide
And all things that were on the inside
I display now with so much pride

and in a whisper he said!

What the mind can percieve
The heart can concieve
and
Your spirit will achieve!

Peace N Blessings
