As I Grow Older

It's like the older I get, the better I get. Gravity and wrinkles are fine with me, that's a small price to pay for the wisdom inside my head and my heart. As I grow older, I get to understand life better and what truly brings happiness. The big mystery is solved as I realize that most of what I sought outside of myself, like happiness was there inside all along.

The shadows I chased after when I was younger eventually become things of the pass and I begin to seek what is more important and lasting as I grow older and for that I give much thanks.

Thanks Thanks.

Happiness

Have we really taken the time to be happy with ourselves?

Some of us want to make others happy more than making ourselves happy, but how can we expect others will be happy around us or because of us when we are not even happy with ourselves?

You can be happy in spite of the fact that things are not as smooth right now as you would like them to be but I am basking in the simple blessings that life has to offer, it is not that I don't have my down days, too many for my liking, but I remember all the people and blessings I have to be happy for so I stay focused and before you know it there is something to smile about.

The song of the birds

The splendor of the morning sky

And thank God for another day in this blessed land.

Smile, Smile, Smile

Laugh out loud it helps!!

It isn't What you Have but What you Are

It isn't what you have but what you are, that makes life worth while.

Some people can gloat at the downfall of others, keep in mind never to forget we could be next. If we can humble ourselves enough to try and walk in another shoes, then for sure the world will be a better place to live in.

And why would we want this? Because what ain't meet us ain't pass us! Gossip is sweet, I know but we must have understanding and empathy for others. The facts of life is that some of us have planted some seeds that we will reap the equivalent of, remember to empathize with the other person. We who want someone else to be understanding and forgiving.

Going through a tough time what is needed is an extension of our hearts, hands and to some extent our prayers.

I Am Strong and Blessed

Sometimes I find myself in situations that my not necessarily be right or divinely designed for me, and I am convinced that when I am where I'm supposed to be even though there may be some challenges along the way, I will by extension be happy, I see happiness as a symbolic expression or an attempt to express the radiance of the divine shining through me.

We all know when we are being celebrated or just simply being tolerated, I think of those experiences, situations and people who brought happiness to my life and then there were those areas of time when I know in my inner deep place of knowing that I were being tolerated. Then I find myself in the valley of indecision, I feel that I have no option or way out, but the challenge is always what choice to make, do I make the choice myself or do I wait for someone else to make the choice for me? The choice which will affect my life. Well frankly this is as good as it gets even though I am as miserable as I can ever be.

Heaven and hell isn't somewhere or some place out of this world it's here and now but who says things can't get better or that I do not deserve better who says that I DO NOT because I am woman, I am strong and blessed. Blessed.

I Am Woman A Motivational Poem From The Heart And Soul

I come in many shapes and colors

. I am soft and delicate, but nothing to play with.  I stand on my own two feet, I depend on one.

I am Woman, I am strong, beautiful, unique, a fighter and survivor. I am Woman, irresistible, seductive, sexy, and voluptuous. Yes I am

I play many roles, Mother, Aunt, Sister and Grandmother. I’m bad and loving it. Looking good like a woman should, I stand out like a skyscraper and stand strong like a house build with bricks.

I get a kick out of challenges, nothing holds me down.  I’m always ready for the next round. I do need love from a good man, a man that’s not afraid to really be what a man should.

I am Woman seducing you with the swing of my hips, temptation at its best.  My soft curves and my beautiful tresses are longing for your soft caress. I am defined by my mind not my beauty. One look in my eyes and you are mesmerize by my strength, my dedication and strive to survive.

I’m a proud lover and achiever letting no one astray me from my ambition. I’m more sensitive then the opposite sex, but I fight my battles and have won many wars. I hold it down like no other, protecting my children from life’s evil. Molding them into their best physically and morally and I must say I look pretty good doing it.

Woman to Woman we go through a lot struggling to be to be treated as equal in society and in relationships. We love hard with disregard of how we are sometimes treated. We deserve the best and never the less we will always be Queens of our throne.

I am proud of my womanhood, I am proud of who I am. Independent, strong willed, provider, nurturing and flamboyant of my style. I love driving men wild.

Loving who I am every part of me, I’m not perfected but I am a site to see.
I am Woman

Those Who Judge Don't Matter

Those who judge don't matter, those who matter don't judge.

It is absolutely amazing how in spite of all the changes life throws at me or those I may have created on my own, the real true loving people in my life do not judge me, they motivate me to keep on going when I'm down.  I really know who my true friends are, I love and appreciate them. I don't take them for granted though they may not give me advice, they listen and that helps to save my sanity.

Take a little time today and consider those people in your life who have demonstrated the true marks of friendship and offer up a prayer of thanksgiving for them let them know that you consider it a blessing to have them in your life and that you love and appreciate them.

I love you children, sisters, aunts,friends ,nieces, nephews and grandchildren


Love Sylvia

If You Don't Like Your Harvest, Change Your Seed

If You Don't Like Your Harvest, Change Your Seed.

We all face trials of different kinds and in order to deal with our challenges effectively, we will realize that we have to replace something negative with something positive, the first thing that we need to replace when it gets to inner cleansing is resentment, its blocking a lot of good things from happening in our lives, replace resentment with forgiveness.

Forgiving ourselves and others is the beginning of peace in our hearts. Next fear, fear seems to be always lurking over our shoulders, replace fear if we are to be powerful in our day to day living. The most destructive of all emotional baggage we have to replace would be hate, both fear and hate have to be replaced with love and happiness, and joy can't help but follow.

Criticism and condemnation, whether expressed or not are killers. These two kill our joy and may even kill our souls,get rid of them by appreciating and blessing others. And that emotion jealousy, we should avoid that as much as possible. replace it with trust as fast as you can. I know that if something is not working for me if I am not getting the results that I desire in my life, then I am the one who has to do the work.

If I don't like my harvest, I have to change my seed.
