Greetings. New month and new editions to our family

Hello fellow bloggers and friends.

I wanted to give you an update on what is going on in the queen city. God has blessed my family with two new baby boys. One born on January 17th , Dunson Tomyro Green and one born on Feb 1st, Lorenzo Carlos Dunson. Yes they are cousins!

Dunson, is my second nephew of whom the Lord gave to me to raise and named after my mother's family. His middle name is given in honor of my beloved late brother Tomyro McIntosh. He is perfect and I am amazed at how God creates lives. Lorenzo is the second grandson of my maternal uncle Leroy Dunson.

I rejoice in the births to our family and am expecting great things from these two young men. I've learned that whatever form your hopes and dreams come in, it takes time to develop into a finished product. Not my time, God's. Have a wonderful week and be blessed.

The Direction Of Happiness
Leaving A Relationship

When attempts at working out issues in a relationship aren't working, it may be time to examine moving on.


One of the hardest decisions we ever make in life is leaving a long-term relationship that just isn't working. When attempts at repairing and working out issues aren't working, it may be time to examine moving on. We are emotional creatures, and when our heartstrings are tied to those of another, separating from that person can feel like an act of courage. It is not something most of us will take lightly, and many of us will struggle with our desire to stay in a relationship that is unfulfilling simply in order to avoid that pain. We may question whether the happiness we seek even exists, and we may wonder if we might be wiser to simply settle where we are, making the best of what we have.

On the one hand, we almost relish the idea that true happiness is not out there so that we can avoid the pain of change. On the other hand, we feel within ourselves a yearning to fulfill our desire for relationships that are vital and healing. Ultimately, most of us will follow this call, because deep within ourselves we know that we deserve to be happy. We all deserve to be happy, no matter where we find ourselves in this moment, and we are all justified in moving, like plants toward the light, in the direction that leads to our greatest fulfillment. First, though, we may need to summon the courage to move on from the relationship that appears to be holding us back.

Taking the first steps will be hard, but the happiness we find when we have freed ourselves from a situation that is draining our energy will outshine any hardship we undergo to get there. Keeping our eyes trained on the horizon, we begin the work of disentangling ourselves from the relationship that no longer fits. Every step brings us closer to a relationship that will work, and the freedom we need to find the happiness we deserve.

Live with Intention

It's Time for a Pep Talk

It's 2011 so its time for all of us to take inventory of our strengths and make some adjustments. I have been doing a whole lot of soul searching and I've decided that I need to read more and share what I've learned through my blogging. I think all of us allow the cares of this life to distract us from the passion of living and we are sucked into survival mode.

I don't want to just survive any longer. I want to live my best life now. I want to have all that I can achieve with God's strength and the help of my friends and family. I will be sharing a lot of material from Alexander Lockhart's booklet, The portable pep talk because it has really has changed my mindset on life. Don't sell yourself short. It is up to me! Enjoy.

It's Up To Me

I get discouraged now and then when there are clouds of gray,
Until I think about the things that happened yesterday.
I do not mean the day before, or those months ago,
But all the yesterdays in which I had a chance to grow.
I think of opportunitiies that I allowed to fall aside
And those I took advantage of before they passed me by.
And I remember that the past peresente quite a plight.
But somehow I endured it and the future seemed all right.
And I remind myself that I am capable and free,
And my success and happiness are really up to me.
