The dog that changed it all…almost

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

All my life I’ve been scared of dogs.
Actually all my life,I’ve been terrified of animals.All animals.
Then she came into my life.Her name is Nala.She’s not mine but I hang out with her alot.
If someone had told me I’d one day let a dog lay next to me or on me or even ride in the same car as me,I’d have laughed in their face and pointed them to the nearest mental ward.
But this adorable miniature dachshund lays next to me – and sometimes on my lap,and she even rides in my car – in the passenger’s seat.She’s my co-pilot.

I still freak out if she comes close to my toes and I don’t have socks on and I still go into panic mode if her wet nose touches me but I’ve made progress…alot of progress in the animal department thanks to Nala.
I wont be adopting any pets anytime soon though and if I still wont stroke your pet,its nothing personal..even Nala had to grow on me!

Lies the Government Told You

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I’ve never heard the pleasure of listening to Judge Napolitano but a friend of mine insists he is one smart man and after reading his book – Lies the Government Told You: Myth, Power and Deception in American History, I must say, I whole heartedly agree. Judge Napolitano impressed me with the combination of his knowledge of the constitution and American history and very compelling story-telling. He gives the reader the facts and doesn’t shy away when it comes to criticizing the government for its hypocrisy throughout history.



My only beef with the Judge’s book is the fact that he seems intent on creating paranoia among the masses especially when he warns the reader that reading his book could potentially make them a target for monitoring by the government. Other than it, Lies the Government Told You: Myth, Power and Deception in American History is an enlightening must read for all.

Stealing Coins From The Fountain

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

The Westin Hotel in LA has an awesome fountain in the lobby and being the curious person I am,I decided to check it out to see if anyone had dropped coins in there and sure enough,there were a bunch of coins in the water..suddenly a naughty thought occurred to me…..
Are you stealing if you take coins from a fountain?
Seriously.

Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its trouble, It empties today of its strength

What makes me weak? My fears…..

What makes me whole? My God.

What keeps me standing? My faith.

What makes me compassionate? My selflessness.

What makes me honest? My integrity.

What sustains my mind? My quest for knowledge.

What teaches me all lessons? My mistakes.

What lift’s my head high? My pride, not arrogance.

What if I can’t go on? Not an option.

What makes me victorious? My courage to climb.

What makes me competent? My confidence .

What makes me sensual? My insatiable essence.

What makes me beautiful? My everything.

What makes me a woman? My heart .

Who says I need love? I do.

What empowers me? My God & Me.

Who am I? I AM A PROUD STRONG WOMAN!

Life is all about asses

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Life is all about asses.
You’re either covering it,
Laughing it off,
Kicking it,
Kissing it,
Busting it,
Trying to get a piece of it,
Or behaving like one.

On an inspirational roll

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.
If you want your dreams to come true, you mustn’t oversleep.
Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.
The best vitamin for making friends….. B1.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge..
One thing you can give and still keep…is your word.
You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself.
If you lack the courage to start, you have already finished.
One thing you can’t recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won’t work unless ‘you’ do.
Your mind is like a parachute……it functions only when open.
The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime!
It is never too late to become what you might have been.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the one’s who don’t.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back.
Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we’ve let them fly away.
Sometimes we are so caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong that we forget what’s right and wrong.

I really love this

‘To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.’ When God takes something from your grasp, He’s not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence… ‘The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you if you know him as Lord………….

There comes a point in your life when you realize:

Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won’t anymore…
And who always will.
So, don’t worry about people from your past,
there’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future.
