Appreciating the connection
Hello Sistah Litria:
I truly appreciate you taking the time to connect with me. I just read the comment you wrote on Feb. 29th and I just wanted to let you know that you are a strong woman and that you should continue to Love yourself because you are fabulous and you deserve it!
I know you know this but don't worry about your job situation.... it will all work out for your good!
I find it hard to admit my issues because I hate to be judged and am always quick to judge myself worse that anyone else ever could. Meaning I can handle me judging myself and then others judging me as well.
As for my situation; My husband has had two visits to the "big house" and THANK YHWH, Yemaya etc he hasn't done anything (as fas as I know) to warrant ever going back there. He came out in 2004 and since then he found a career he loves and has returned to school and gotten two AA's and is now working on his B.S! However,we have many other residual problems as a result of his stays there and me having to fend for myself out here.... but we are working on them... So I give your accolades for being able to put him out because you knew "he just wasn't right"; I felt the same way you feel now with my husband back in late 2006 early 2007 but I became weak and now we are married... and I pray everyday that I didn't make a huge mistake....even though I often feel I did....so keep your head up and truly do you....
As for your brother's passing in the manner he did; I have no idea how that must have felt and still feels today but I do know that I have wanted to do what he did but YHWH & Yemaya saved me both times! Praise and blessings for that.... Anyway, like I said I do look forward to communicating with you and learning from and with you... I've never read an Iyanla Vazant book but I have listed to her talk so I'll look into purchasing "The Value in the Valley" that you mentioned has been helping you....
Again thank you for sharing and reaching out....
Have a blessed day and remember...

Greetings
I don't remember writing you or adding you to my friends list. I don't speak Spanish. What does the quote from Paulo Coelho mean? Did you write me by mistake?

Thank you for your words of Inspiration!
Thank you for your comments, with everything that's going on in my life, it is really hard to open up to people. I posses the gift/curse of being able to hide my feelings from those around me, so I find myself listening to everyones problems and hiding my own, and the day I wrote my blog, I emotionally exploded. So thank you for taking in my grievence and taking the time to reach to me with your prayers. Much love.
Blessings, Peace and Love,
La'Tria
Understanding that in due time all things must change!
I am a 29yrs old, I will actually be 30 on March the 20th. Currently my life is changing right before my eyes and there's really not much I can do, except keep my head up, pray and try my best to stay true to myself. Here is a short story about what I am going through, I've been with the same man for 12 yrs, I had one younger bother whom I (as most big sisters do) helped raise, my parents have been married for 32yrs and since I was 15, I've always kept a stready job. The man that I love spent time in and out of jail thru most of his 20's, and the last time he went I (like most women in my situation) thought he could change, well as you probably already know before you read it, I was wrong. But, I will say he does love me with all his heart, he just isn't right. On March 12, 2005, my little brother took his own life, which I took pretty hard being that was only sibling and I grew up with a certain responsibility to him, so when he did what he did, I myself, can't help but feeling like I failed as a sister. And, at this point and time in my life the man I love was there for me 150% literally, I spaced it for 2yrs and he stepped up to the plate at time. But, then in 2007 the man I loved decided he wasn't sure what he wanted in life and that included his relationship with me. So fast forward to 2008, one week after New Year's I kicked him out to go find a job and his self. My house started having a strange electrical problem, which took forever to fix, but the funny thing is the main thing I missed was the phone and television. But, as they say God works in mysterious ways and he worked his magic on me because, I started reading "The Value in the Valley" by Iyanla Vazant. From this I started focusing on me instead of worrying about my man or why my brother did what he did, or stressing because my house seemed like it was going to explode with all my electrical problems. Which I needed because I was unaware of what else I had coming. Because as soon as I got most of electrical stuff together, I found the company I work for was being investigated for fraud and our GM was put on administrative leave along with the CEO, so now on top of everything else my job is uncertain. No, that's not it, also the latest blow I was just delt, my parents tell me they are seperating and now talking divorce, my mom moved out and quit her job and my dad is working a lot trying not to think about it. And, I know a lot of people whose parents aren't together, it happens everyday. But, being that my parents have been together all my life, until this point, it's just hard for me to swallow. But, like I said all can do is keep my head up, pray and stay true to me, Sometimes I do find it hard to just focus on me, because between my bother and my man, I've always had someone else to worry about or take care of, so focusing on me doesn't come as easy as it should. So I pray for me and I pray for the people I love to find happiness no matter where they find it. And, I pray and ask GOD to give me strength and endurance overcome every challenge put in my path. Because I believe if I just stay strong and put my best foot forwad, there's nothing I can't over come!
