Never Alone

So it has been a while since I last posted. Basically I have been stressing about not doing anything with my life that has purpose. But I will not give up. I know that something great for me is just around the corner and I will not give up brainstorming and working hard to discover the mystery that awaits me.

But today I want to share a song with you that I found a while ago. I am in love with Lady Antebellum and this song also has Jim Brickman playing piano! It is called, "Never Alone" and when I heard this song I immediately pictured myself singing this to my children when they are laying in bed trying to fall asleep. That moment right before they fall asleep is so innocent and beautiful. Whenever I lay kids down to fall asleep I always wish I could promise them the world. I feel this need to promise them that I will always be there for them and no matter what struggles they face in life, my love for them will never change.

I don't have kids but when I do, I will sing this song to them to assure them that my love is unconditional! I have always felt that with my family and it has been the greatest gift of all! So if you have kids or someone you care for, you might want to play this song for them to let them know that they are never alone because feeling totally alone can be one of the scariest moments in a person's life.

You are Exceptional

So today I have two things that I want you to check out. The first is a You Tube that my mom sent me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCmZ2jrQooE It's called, "The Missing piece meets the big O." This made me cry (not too big of a surprise because I'm kinda emotional) but I think everyone will get something from this piece. The second thing I want you to check out is a song by JoJo that I feel contributes to this video. The song is called, "Exceptional."

To me both the video and song made me take a look at myself and really question whether or not I am completely happy with who I am and if I appreciate all of the things I have to offer the world, my family, my friends, and someday a significant other. The video is about the journey we take to find that one special person that we will spend the rest of our lives with. It shows us how many times we come across something that seems like the perfect fit, but for some reason, we can't quite make it work. I think that sometimes we spend too much trying to figure out our perfect fit, questioning ourselves and wondering what's so wrong with us that we can't fit in anywhere. Is this the right question we should be asking ourselves? This video made me realize that maybe it's not my fault for not finding my perfect fit yet. Instead of looking for that fit, maybe I should try and fit with myself. Maybe I should be my main focus and then once I am rolling out on my own, someday I might just stumble upon my other half and instead of fitting to make one, we roll through life together.

Please listen to exceptional, because I really think it helps make us realize how amazing we are just the way we are. Seems like an easy concept to grasp, but boy is it hard. Probably the hardest thing I have ever had to tackle. But I can do it and I will. Starting today, anyone who wants to join me. The challenge...Love who you are, take your own journey towards finding out exactly what great things you have to offer this world. You are EXCEPTIONAL!

In the End

Today I am writing to those of you that have ever felt that you are as low as you could possibly be and that there is no light to your darkness. I am writing to those that feel beat down and hopeless and too tired to fight anymore. How many of you have been there? I know that this past year has really done a number on me. Unless you have been there yourself, you wouldn't understand what it feels like to be so disappointed in yourself. Every day you question why you are in this place and what you did or didn't do to get here. Every day you find someone else to envy and someone else to make you feel useless. But today I am here to tell you that you are not alone and that it is NEVER too late to rise up and change your life.

For me I am finding strength in song (surprise surprise)! More than ever I am holding on to lyrics for inspiration, motivation, comfort, and hope. For you this strength might come from faith, friends, family, words, or just digging deep within yourself and discovering a strength you never knew existed. I BELIEVE with my whole heart that God will never put us in a situation that we are not capable of dealing with. It might take every ounce of courage we have, but we can do it. And we WILL!!!

So today's song..."In the End" by Eric Benet. Please listen to this song and find your strength and rise above whatever struggle you are facing. I believe that in the end we will all surprise ourselves and overcome every obstacle presented in our path toward complete happiness.

I Believe In You and I

What an amazing song I just heard today!! I am almost in tears! This song is called, "I Believe" by Nikki Yanofsky. Please YouTube this song because the music as well as the lyrics are extremely moving and powerful! Her voice is so strong and gives me chills.

This song made me think of my fabulous friends and how together, we have been able to do and experience such exciting and life-changing things. From my friends I have found a strength I did not know existed. Too many times society leads us to believe that in order to be at our best we need to fall in love with someone that will become your life-long partner. This song could very well be written about her husband or boyfriend but I hear it a different way...

I have been blessed with such amazing friends that have supported me through everything and encouraged me to reach every goal and achieve every dream. Without them in my life, I would not have accomplished any of the courageous things in my life. They have made this journey meaningful and memorable. I believe in my friends and what we are capable of as a strong unbreakable force! Together ANYTHING is possible! I believe that this is our moment to shine in this world and I know that we are going to push each other until we have reached our highest peak!!! I love you all and will continue to support you for our entire lives!!!
