Chat: Claim Your Journey...


Focus.

Stay on track.

Don't lose sight of your purpose.

Make use of the life you are blessed to live today.
Don't let it be for naught.
Be equally accountable for your actions and your lack of action.

Make every moment, every circumstance, every word... count.
Give your life thought, contemplation, and understand it's value.
Be filled with love and not resentment.

If resentment is your "filling", re-evaluate the INTENTION of your actions and commit to making a change. It will be your blame, your fault, your shortcoming, your weakness... or your reward.

Only YOU are responsible for the way you feel.

Woman 1: i'm here.... was on coffee break... sorry

Woman 2: K I forgive u
Woman 2: Liked your blog
Woman 2: No more coffee breaks

Woman 1: glad you liked it
Woman 1: i will probably write something else in there today or tomorrow.... but I have it set up that every time I enter something new, you get it in your email

Woman 2: Cool
Woman 2: Needed an outlet..huh
Woman 2: My signal keeps going in and out...its raining

Woman 1: not really.... needed to do some expressive activity.... some writing.... keep from getting rusty.... and it seems to help make me more conscious of the decisions I make and the life lessons i learn

Woman 2: You r so deep

Woman 1: no, i am not deep... but i want to be
Woman 1: have you ever had the feeling that you were just "skimming" across life?
Woman 1: not because you are shallow... but because you are so busy with the carnal things in life... you get caught up in people and their personalities and schedules and grocery shopping, school meetings.... seems like you miss the whole "purpose"

Woman 2: Hell yeah
Woman 2: I feel like that alllllll the time

Woman 1:.... but if you keep a journal.... just the "writing" of it all... makes you very conscious of the decisions you make and the decisions you need to make. try it
Woman 1: it's like "putting your thoughts out in the universe" and making them become a reality.... "the words you speak have spirit and life"

Woman 2: we as women are conditioned to live life as if we were just floating on through. Each day melds into the next. We spend all our time nurturing, giving, helping that by the time it comes to us, there is nothing left
Woman 2: but who are we to complain... its expected of us

Woman 1: see... now that is a subject to blog about.

Woman 2: this is why a lot of women stray from a marriage and become neglectful of those whom she has charge over
Woman 2: people don't realize that its not easy to multi task everything, everyday

Woman 1: see, THAT's deep

Woman 2: that ain't deep. girl that’s my life

Woman 1: i know... but articulating it makes you own it. accept it or change it. be "about" it or be "about changing it"... for yourself.

Woman 2: i used to think that I was the only one out there who felt as if the world around me had walls and I was being sucked into a vacuum and the only way out was to go deep inside my mind and escape

Woman 1: i hear u... and u are not alone!

Woman 2: but when you escape, thoughts appear and usually, they're not good

Woman 1: when i am running behind one... running with another... hunting down the next one, and another, and his brother, and dodging my mama, and trying not to take other folks foolishness ... when do i have time to feel like my life is my own?

Woman 2: that's when we, as women, start thinking that the grass on the other side looks greener

Woman 1: why must we take a back seat to our own journey?
Woman 1: crazy!
Woman 1: but honey... it ain't grass, it's astro-turf... that mess ain't even real

Woman 2: we don't matter, in a sense

Woman 1: but we actually matter the most
Woman 1: and we have to realize it before we can make anyone else realize it.

Woman 2: we play second-fiddle to all around us. And its not just in our homes but all around us
Woman 2: we take other peoples burdens and then they become ours
Woman 2: without us, there will be no foundation
Woman 2: there will be no family structure

Woman 1: and who will take our burdens?

Woman 2: chaos would rule
Woman 2: but then, they would find a way to blame us for that as well


peace

Women, are saying the same thing wherever you turn. It's important to use some of our multi-tasking on ourselves and change things that don't work for us. When we're serving others more than likely if they're needs are met, they don't look around to see how we're doing, and they are not the ones to suggest things that will make our lives easier. It really is important for us to honor our needs and understand the difference between selfishness, and self survival.
