Be nice to strangers because you never know when you are speaking to or meeting gods angels.

This week ended for me with a lesson I will carry with me.

My work is topsy turvy at the moment, most of my co-workers are being laid off. So like everyone I am a bit nervous at what path god has for me because I believe anything that happens then forth is the will of the almighty, and I am being faithful.

My workplace is forever with stories that I have tried to stay away from, sometimes its hard to because the stories and gossip is every where even in management. I work closely with two other colleagues (that is we share work space and clients etc). One of my co-worker who I am closer to (Jane) called me recently (while I was on vacation) to inform me that she was given a different position and we talk about the possibility of change and how those changes would affect us, I am fond of her and I'm actually pleased for her because she is a very pleasant, calm, sweet person whose personality I wish to emulate.

Hi sisters
I thought I would share this song, when I first heard it, I shed a few tears of joy....such a beautiful song.

p.s I hope you do not mind the excerpts from the movie (The Family that Preys)

Enjoy! oh, get up and dance!

I am L-A-Z-Y lately!! There I said it, it outs there, now I need to get up and go.

In my mid-twenties I was an avid jogger with buns of steel (or so I'd like to think), I would run with such joy and the delightful runners high, for 1.5 hours around the tracks feeling the burn and wanting more, like a running junkie.

How do I motivate myself to those days of me, the wind and my burning muscles. I bought a new Ipod, download techno music (love it), bought some running pants, I even bought shirts with rhinestones, but nothing motivates. yikes!

Lately I have been thinking about my mortality, and the impact I may have had on others, what will others say about me, if I should pass away, who will miss me. As much as this may sound a tad bit self absorbing, this is my transition into a different person. You see I have gone through so many phases. As I sit here writing this note, I remember what it was like through the earliest part of my twenties and even in my teens and I can't believe I was that person, because that's not how I feel or think. Its amazing how one can change without realizing the changes. Our experience in life does mold us, every situation makes us a different person. Can one truly label their personality or who they are?
In my teens I was a rebel without a cause, I loved motor bikes, I had a shaved head, I wore black lipstick and believed that anything above the knees was the go, I did not care for men as much, although deep down I wanted to be loved, at those times I just wanted to have fun, anything fast, furious and crazy, believe me this did not gain me brownie points with the do-goodies in my village.

As I age (or get younger as I like to say lol) I realized that my skin has changed. My teenage years were acne-free (thank god for that), but I am plagued with adult acne recently. Not just acne, but black heads, I have thought about going to a dermatologist, but I am rather skeptical about the treatments they might suggest. I have spent many waking hours browsing on sites for the right cream and the right scrub.I have tried Proactive, which worked wonderfully by the way, but I needed something more natural. My philosophy, if I have the difficulty in pronouncing the ingredients, then I probably shouldn't be using it on my skin.It was only recently I realized that every individual skin regiment is different and I need to learn my skin and try things that will work for me. I now know that I can make my own homemade cream and scrub, so I absolutely refuse to buy the store products.
