Wings of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is such a big word, action and commitment.
Sometimes, people hurt us so deep that we feel like we taste the pain.
Sometimes, people break us without knowing it.
They scar us to the point that healing is long and grueling.
But the truth is, in life, it has to get worse before it gets better.
If you were hurt sometimes in life, don't frown upon it.
Embrace what had happened and be glad that you overcame it.
But the biggest thing to do is to forgive whoever did you wrong, and LET IT go.
Keeping grudge only makes life a whole lot unpleasant but it makes you a lot less happier.
So people my food for thought is FORGIVE.

Whenever I think of forgiveness, I listen to "Wings of Forgiveness" by India Arie.
Listen to the song, maybe you guys will also like it.

So readers, stay positive,
Forgive but DONT Forget,
So that you can learn from your mistakes.

As humans we tend to always remember what people have done to us,
But sometimes, letting go is the best way to go.

Shark Tales

Yesterday I went to the beach with some friends to enjoy the sunny weather of South Florida.

However, after a good four hours, the whole populace enjoying the ocean had to leave due to the improvised visit of sharks.

Mind you, there were a good five sharks just chilling, going from one coast to another.

And the funny thing was that everybody started screaming like little girls.

You were seeing grown men running for their lives, forgetting they had kids, going back to get their kids and running again and pregnant woman running like they were in the 5k race!

The strange thing is that when you think that you are going to be the meal of some huge sharks, you start thinking "God, please dont let me become a snack. I'll really start going to church every Sunday" or "dang I hope they dont take my legs first, so I can keep running" or "Man, I didn't even get to say goodbye" or "Stupid Sharks, why not go to South Beach instead?"

Either way, the food for thought for today is when going to the beach/ocean, please be careful.

And, make sure that you live your life right so if you end up dying or worse case scenario get eaten by a shark, you have no regrets, no unfinished business with God or loved ones. Pray every morning because you never know what the day has in reserve for you.

All in all, Stay blessed and Enjoy the Summer,

Blame It....

What is it with people blaming others for their mistakes or misfortunes?

Past a certain age, we learned to take responsibilities but apparently some of us lose sight of the significance of that word.

Taking responsibilies for your actions means that you are man or woman enough to step up to the plate and take charge of your OWN life. Taking responsibilities means that you are willing to face the consequences to your OWN actions and not blame your neighbor for your clumsiness in life. Taking responsibilities is taking care what you known YOU ought to be doing. And mainly it is NOT expecting others to pick the bits and pieces after you caused an havoc within your own life or their lives.

Personally, I take responsibility for my actions. If I mess up, I am woman enough to say that I was wrong and apoligize. However, it amazes me how others are so quick to blame others when it is their own fault. NO my friend, You did it, You fix it.

It may be hard to do but come on people, this is not LALAland. If you broke the glass, pick up the broom to get the pieces. The sooner we learned that in life, past a certain age, WE are our OWN responsibilities, the better we all will be.

So if you are out there, put the blame on everyone but yourself...take a close look at the mirror and realize that its time to start taking responsibilities

Stay Responsible :)

Everything Happens For A Reason

I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason.
Sometimes in life, we might question the direction we are taking
Or wonder about the choices we end up having to take
Or the people that inadvertanly invade our lives
To become an integral part of our lives.
Several times, I have heard people say they wish
They could go back in time to switch some stuff around to "make it better".
Truth is, it would only make your reality "different"
(Could be worse than what you are facing now)
And you may not be who you are currently.
If we had the power to change our past and modify our present,
There would be no personal growth since you know you could just erase your mistakes.
That is why today my food for thought is,
Embrace what God throws in your life,
Work with it to make YOU better,
Dont regret what you "coulda, shoulda or woulda"
But instead, think ahead how you could make yourself better
And walk your way to a better future.

Stay Blessed,
Gigi
