My Spring Bucket List!

Although spring isn't my favorite season, it's a close second; It's the rejuventation of the Earth. It's also one of the most picturesque out of the four seasons. I love the colors that Spring brings but what I'm most excited about are the activities that one is able to enjoy when the weather is warmer. I've complied a bucket list of things that I want to experience during this beautiful season. Check it out!

What Lies Beneath...

What's Beauty? Is it the way her body's shaped? Or the way she's dressed? But if the whole world was blind, how many people would you impress?

Getting to know someone is like the peeling of an onion. The first layer is the outside. What do we first notice about a person? Their appearance: their smile, style of dress, etc. As we spend more time with that person, we're allowed to see deeper layers: their mannerisms, how they treat strangers and those that they know and love. And as more time passes, we see what that person thinks about him/herself.

Do they love themselves? Do they have a good heart? Do they surround themselves in positivity? These are questions that you should be asking of yourself concerning the company that you keep. But, sometimes we don't because we're fascinated with the physical/materialistic attributes that a person has.

What if the world was blind to your physical attributes? Fellas, how much time would you save because you didn't have to beef up at the gym? Ladies, think about how much of a second skin our leggings wouldn't have to be in order to break the necks of whomever you want to attract. Friends, think on how we would realize who to truly call our real friends based on behavior and actions. Think about how much more time we'd have to focus on getting to know someone's mind and heart and how much better off we'd be if we were emotionally, mentally and spiritually captivated to a person...

Wake up people! What lies beneath is what’s most important and is what a person will carry with them until death. Qualities like honesty, a wonderful sense of humor, intelligence, an optimistic view on life, empathy, loyalty, love, etc. These are things that can’t be washed down the drain like a woman’s makeup. They aren’t things that can erode as the paint of a prized car. And they certainly aren’t things that can be seen with the naked eye, but felt with the heart. Yes, it's cliche to say and redundant to hear but the older we get, the more we realize what our elders have been telling us since birth is the truth: True beauty lies within.

Thanks for reading! Peace :-D

Know When to Walk Away

Have you ever felt like you needed to explain something again? To help someone by giving your expertise...again? And all to no avail, because you both know that he/she won't listen and will do whatever it is that they want to anyway? Or have you ever felt the need to repeat yourself just one more time, because you know that person doesn't "remember" what you said? Well, being the giving person that I am, I have the perfect illustration of what you need to do:
