Food for the Soul...Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love

No conditions, only commandments

Two words I receive questions on all the time. "Unconditional Love". Exactly what is the meaning of "Unconditional Love". Although, there are many answers I'll share one that is close & dear to my heart. In order to fully give of yourself to another, you must first trust the process that you are capable to embrace all that love has to offer. Stage One: the details...

My love for you is unconditional. I'll go the the ends of the earth just for you. You say stop, drop and roll, I'm down no questions asked.  I'll continue to follow your footsteps, trust in your word, believe thy will be done and have complete faith in the process. Why? Because you'll do the same for me.  That's the kind of love you're deserving of.

Soulful Reminder:  "I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them." John 17:26 Holy Bible NLT (2007)

IT'S B's BIRTHDAY~ VIRGO'S RUN THE WORLD

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY BEYONCE
VIRGO'S RUN THE WORLD

September 4, 2011 It's B's Birthday... We like to wish Beyonce a very Happy Birthday. Many look at turning 30 as an important time in ones life. I disagree. You are just getting started and coming into your own. For Beyonce she has most definitely reach a highpoint in her life, but I'm pretty sure this is just the beginning. Think about it... I see this year as a moment in time she'll never forget. The triple threat DIVA turning "Thirty". Good things come in 3's. She recently announced she & husband Jay Z are expecting their first child and she's turning Thirty. Hmmmm.... What will the third good thing B? Leave it to Beyonce it could be anything. Just maybe they'll be another little surprise in store.


I admire Beyonce, because she's living her life out loud. No matter what you think about her, The triple threat diva is laying her mark on the world. The good fortune is only beginning and no one deserves it more. Embracing Love, Passion, & Play. And boy did it show as she walked the VMA's red carpet recently announcing to the world; "We're Expecting". Then to top it off and put on an amazing performance singing "Baby It's You".  Her performance AMAZE me so much I had to tweet it to my followers as if I was there live myself: Beyonce a Class Act... FABULOUS performance on #VMA Baby It's You Means More Now than Ever. Congratulations!!!  


Who's says you can't have it all? Let's hear the Anthem song of the day. Who Runs the World? VIRGO's Run the World. We'll if not the world we Run September. (smile)

Until next time live FABULOUS...

Until We Meet Again...

Psalm 18:6
In my distress I called to the LORD;
I cried to my GOD for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him; into his ears

Our Blog is more than just weddings & events we discuss relationships issues as well as everyday lifestyle occurrences. This topic is something I struggled with & with careful consideration I felt it was important to share on my Blog. Our ultimate goal is not only to share the happy occasions, but also offer you thought provoking topics to make you take a step back & "THINK".


Depending on what state you live in I think its fair to say many individuals & families may be encountering difficulties on ALL levels. It seems at least here in California for the past two weeks many tragic Breaking News has come across the screen. I tend to stay abreast to what's happening in my community & at times may address it in someway.



On occasion I have seen status updates on Facebook by acquaintances mentioning the recent suicides in the news. Over the past several weeks it has been discussed with teens in the news not only referencing  suicide, but guns in our schools. It breaks my heart that some people are so careless with what their posting and providing what they think is valued information on the topic. In reviewing the comments I just couldn't believe what certain individuals were saying. I believe in freedom of speech, however speaking without having professional knowledge of the exact situation is just dis-respectful to those they left behind. You absolutely have no idea what goes on behind close doors in someones life. To say what could the kids today possibly be going through, that is so different when we were their age?

What happened in your household may be completely different in another household. What happened when you went to school, may be completely different for a child today. You cannot assume that a child took its own life because they were soft & didn't have faith or support in their life. (Quoted from a comment on Facebook).  Do you know if they battled depression, or something deeper? Do you know if they were seeking professional advice. You can't have it both ways that if teens aren't talking with their parents isn't it better that they seek professional advice from a Therapist?

I speak on this from personal experience loosing a love one & you have no idea what one goes through when they are face with trails & tribulations of life that are beyond their control. It's hard enough that someone has taken their life, but it doesn't stop there. The pain continues on for those they left behind. Before you start to judge an individuals personal situation look in the mirror at yourself. Are you perfect? How you deal with things are not the same as another child of God. Yes, we are all children of GOD, it is not up to you to be the judge & juror. And, if you truly had any compassion the first thing you would have done was say a prayer for that individual & their family who are mourning the death of their child.


Growing-up there was a quote I heard all the time: Stick & Stones may brake my bones, but words will never hurt me-Author Unknown

That quote is so far from the truth...Words do hurt and they can carve an impression in ones heart & head that can scar them for life. Often times society loves to see someone fall more than to rise in Greatness. If we actually listen more & stop judging; you will not only learn more about yourself, but others as well. Leave the diagnosis to the professionals.

Until We Meet Again...

I just had to share the below artist Civil Twilight and this beautiful & touching song~Letters From The Sky.

I CAN SMILE AGAIN...

This post is inspired from a recent interview Rihanna gave to Marie Claire UK for their December issue. Rihanna reveals in a cover story in the December 2010 issue of Marie Claire UK. Access Hollywood reported that she told the magazine, "I feel like I smile for real this time. The smiles come from inside, and it exudes in everything I do. People feel my energy is different. When I smile they can tell that it's pure bliss and not just a cover up."

RIHANNA EXCLUSIVE
in Marie Clarie UK Dec Issue
"I Smile For Real Now"

I'm truly happy for Rihanna in expressing to the world just how she feels after going through probably one of the most difficult times in life.  Although Rihanna is in the public limelight and many think they deserve to know her every move; simply not true. A entertainer by profession but when the the studio session is over, awards shows are a wrap and you're trying to go on with your normal day-day activity, she is still human. Someone who has happy times as well as disappointing moments. We all go through trails & tribulations over our lifetime hers was/is just magnified by the media, which makes it even more difficult.

That's why I'm inspired to write I Can Smile Again. Who doesn't want to smile everyday? What does that exactly mean? For me its a no brainier something I choose to do without any excuses or negativity by those who want to be the victim in life. I've expressed in a past drezrehersal Tip... Know your "WORTH"only you can put a determination on whats real & whats counterfeit. Everything that glitters isn't always gold. Often times we judge ones life by what we see on the outside, however what may look all put together on the outside, could very well be broken on the inside. You never know what goes on behind closed doors for there are a lot of people who are living a counterfeit life.

Of course I go through challenges in life , but it makes me want to excel & push life obstacles back even harder. I refuse to be a victim of fear, anger, anxiety, lack or hopelessness. I thrive on "FAITH", "HOPE", "CONFIDENCE", "JOY", "GRACE" and favorable blessings of "PEACE" in my life. My ultimate source of my destined direction is provider by a higher power & for that I Can Smile knowing he will never forsake me; stand by me through the good times of life & hold me-up during the difficult moments. We all have them so trust that you Can Smile Again when you are at your darkest moment & have faith that, this too shall pass.

drezrehersal Tip... Obstacles are only Hiccups. Take a sip of "FAITH" and say this too shall pass and move on.
 
We welcome your comments, please share if you have ever encounter an obstacle in life & how you persevered through it. You sharing your story can definitely help someone, who may be climbing an up-hill battle.
