Hola! - Day 4 mi dieta

Big Brother's Watchin!

Hey Friends,

Well I made it to day 3 ;-D  yaaay me!!

I FELT THE EARTH MOVE UNDER MY FEET.....

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MARYLAND AND SO MANY OTHER US STATES HAD AN EARTHQUAKE TODAY!

Sorry to yell but I just can't believe it. I was just sitting on my couch processing Avon orders and

 my husband yells from the room, "What's going on?" "Go to the basement!"

I thought it was a low flying plane at first since so many fly over our house. 

But as the shaking progressed, I thought WTH? Is this the END? I mean THE END?

Wow......still all shook up. The kids were at school and I worried about them. I have family in DC and Virginia and I worried about them too because the phones were down.

 But thank God everyone I know is ok.

For everyone reading this, perhaps you should wonder if GOD is tryna tell u something????

Hello Blogger Friends,


Wow! I've had several AVON inquiries in the last two days, asking if I still sell AVON. The answer is YES. I let my Avon site work my sales and it's LOVELY! Also, if you want to be a representative and earn $$ you can do that for only a $10 start up! So message me if you want to be a rep. Do NOT sign up on my site this will not allow me to  obtain the credit for your sign up.
 If you want to buy log on and start clicking ;-D


Most people don't know that AVON has grown into so much more than just makeup and perfumes. We sell clothing, fine jewelry, household items, tools, shoes, exercise equipment and much more. There is plenty for everyone including the children and the men in our lives. In fact, I encourage men to become AVON sales representatives. You can start earning right away and learn how you can receive health benefits through AVON and residual income.

Until My Change Comes

Until My Change Comes

Leslie A. Geen 7/22/11

Sadness pushes up but the wait is too heavy

Tears held at bay by the DAMN fact that she's all cried out

But if the levies shall ever break, she'll drown in her own sorrows

This life vest must have some holes in it cuz I feel like I'm drowning.

I keep coming up for air but get sucked back in by the current.

How can I go against the flow?? I'm not sure if I'm strong enough anymore.

Everything hurts, mostly on the inside though.

I try to paddle, swim, float, fight, sing and pray

Yet I seem to keep sinking.

I wonder if I've missed the rescue boat?

Am I supposed to stay in these rough waters?

Shall the waves continue to crush me?

This salt water burns my wounds!

Got anymore of that anesthetic?

At least until the master surgeon performs His miracle.

At least until I can catch my breath and dry off

At least until I can hear the birds sing sweetly and the sunshine kisses my cheek

At least until I'm once again hugged with hope

At least until, until...unil my change comes.

In Love With You

I'm no stranger to heartache

Infact, we used to be best friends

But the relationship had to end

To receive your promises

Sometimes I have to go

Visit my old friend

Ultimately what we share

Becomes a blessing in the end

There's something about

Our twisted rendevou

That always seems

To bring me closer to you

Oh how you deliver comfort

In everything you do

Thank you for your mercy

I'm so in love with you

Tug of War

Sometimes I feel like there is a constant tug of war going on inside me. Back and forth back and forth. I;m so tired of being pulled one way and then the other. And I can't stop it. Sometimes it makes me sick. It makes me dizzy. Just when I think I've built up enough mental muscle to  pull all my weight to one side, I slip and fall. I loose my footing and my grip. I'm tired of the  mud slinging. I just want to start clean. But is this truly realistic in this life? Is it  possibe to just cut the rope? And then what happens? Is there growth, heartache or death? Who would have thought that this childhood game was preparation for the game of life. Good vs evil, wrong vs right, easy vs hard, rich vs poor, black vs white, happy vs sad, fat vs skinny, forgiveness vs biterness. Round and round we go on this gameboard of life, how many time have I landed on "Do not pass Go, Do not collect $200?" and just when I collect Boardwalk and Park Place with hotels on each, I go bankrupt. Maybe if there were more "Go to church or "pray" cards in the game there'd be less of a struggle. Or at least more chances to win.
Well one things for sure, we can't just QUIT playing the game. I don't know about you, but I'm going to keep hanging onto that rope, collecting my game pieces, running toward the checkered flag and pushing to get some more "go to church" and "Pray" cards.

Happy playing friends. Hugs

Food for Thought

Some people dream of success and make their dreams come true, others just keep dreaming.

These Are Just Questions

Can I rest in peace before I'm dead?
How come people won't be kind without being lead?
How can you want change without changing?
Will the shackled be free from the demons they're facing?

Will prayer in schools re-exist?
Can we solve our problems without using our fists?
-Oh excuse me it's guns and bombs now...

Why do we let anger brew like coffee?
Is it more dangerous to let it simmer???
Why don't people believe
There is still hope for the sinner?

What in the world has happened to our youth?
Not enough adults to tell them the truth!?
Why do we ask for advice and then don't take it?
Why do we give our hearts to someone who'll break it?

Why does it seem like no one hears
The deafening silence of her tears?
How come everyone wants to follow and not lead?
How come we're not blind but still don't see?


These are just some questions.

Get a J.O.B

So many of us are either trying to get a job,  hold on to one or being told to get one. I know people who have been very actively trying to find a j.o.b for years! No doubt it is the economy that's got us down and out. It's o.k. to be down but you are not OUT! That's what the devil wants....is for you to stay right where you are wallowing in self pity. NEVER give up hope. Laugh at the devil and praise God! In the meantime find your God given talents and hustle up a way to make it through. Don't have too much pride that you can't take 2 lower paying jobs, lean some houses, cut grass, braid hair, start a small home business, write a book...but Do something!
I'll leave you with a word from the bible today. JOB 14:7 says:  There is hope for a tree that has been cut down it can come back to life and sprout.

Make Some New Memories

Remember that best friend you had in pre-school, elementary, and middle school? Days in the sand box, finger painting, watching the chicks hatch in an incubator, the winter band and chorus concerts? Maybe your fondest memories are of high school. You couldn't wait to get to a certain class to crack up laughing at your best buddy the class clown, or maybe even skipped class to go to the favorite hang out spot. Remember prom? And graduation? Remember the speeches of looking forward to building your future and conquering the world?
Did you go on to college and go to wild parties, or cram for exams, or stay out with your bestie in the clubs til it closed and have to go straight to class after? Wow! Those were the days huh? How many of those people are still an active part of your life? Are you dwelling in the past and surviving off of old dreams and memories?
So where's your future? Better yet, where is your present? Are you LIVING in this moment? Are you creating new fond memories for tomorrow? Don't take for granted that you will have time to create cherished moments "after" you "feel" better. Who told you that you are guaranteed another sunrise and sunset tomorrow, next week or next year? Take a look around you......GO AHEAD, DO IT NOW!

Like what you see? Are you trying to make the best of your today? Are you living today like it's your last? Have you hugged the loved ones around you or reached out to someone in need? Be the positive change and create happy memories of your future.

Hugs,

Leslie

Trouble Sleeping?

So what's your reason for not sleeping? Is it stress? Is late at night the only time you get me time?
I don't think many people realize how important SLEEP is. It's important to our mental and physical well being. If you are feeling like you need some quite time, carve out at least 20 minutes during the day to meditate or something that relaxes you. Are you stressed out and up worrying? Ok, so when daylight breaks did you find that you "worried" or "willed" your troubles away? I'm sure the answer is no. Get yourself some rest and perhaps you won't feel (and maybe look) like crap. Are you a workaholic? I understand as well as the next overachiever the longing to be successful but we shouldn't do it at the expense of our health. LOL, look at me The pot calling the kettle black! Here it is 4:49 and I can't seem to stop writing. I'm going to bed! TTYT. HUGS

FOCUS - Leslie Green © 6/24/11

Sometimes I wish hindsight was blind
Then I wouldn’t be tempted to look back
If we could take life’s lessons, learn and grow
And then forget about the pain it took to get to today
Then we would be creatures of optimism
Seeds that longed for water and sunshine
And not thinking about when we were just seeds
And if we planted ourselves in the right soil
So what if you were planted between thorns
And not so fertile ground
We wouldn’t care about a clay foundation
Or even about the beautiful blooms surrounding us
Oh to concentrate on our purpose alone
To press against the wind no matter how fierce the storm
Are we not as instinctive as the Hereford Cow?
Weren’t we fearfully made?
So then why do we consistently allow fear to paralyze us?
Because we “remember” and look back
Curse the vision of hindsight
Who will invent the blinders of the past?
If I can find that remedy, I’d be wealthy beyond imagination
Because not one could resist the thought of living
Bondage free, shackle free of our past mental captivity
I’d be Brand Ambassador of Possibility
Poster child of Hope
Founder of I Think I Can
Innovator of You Can’t Stop Me
President of My Own Thoughts
Chairwoman of Society of the Unstoppable
Advocate for The My Steps Are Ordered Consortium
Die hard fan of the Full Speed Ahead Club
Chief Operating Officer of Bifocals for the Future
Author of the song I Can See Clearly Now
Yet we are already equipped with all the tools we need
The problem is we can mentally be our own mind eraser of angst
We just choose not too
We instead look for some magical contact lenses
To paint a Rosey tint of perfection
Let me be your eye drops since you are allergic
The sting is much less than suffering from lifelong hay fever like symptoms
Of course should you choose to continue scratching your eyes
You will mess up your own mental cornea
I’m trying to get you to FOCUS

Stay In Your Lane!
