Almost the end

It’s almost the end of the year. One more day to go. So much has happened this year. It’s amazing how much change one year can bring into ones life.

I definitely didn’t think I’d be trying to get a divorce at the end of the year when the year began.

I definitely didn’t think I’d be in another relationship before the end of the year.

I definitely didn’t think I would have my own business that can set me up with financial freedom and time freedom in less than five years.

I definitely didn’t think I could feel so carefree and relaxed about life and take it one day at a time.

It’s been great learning about myself this year. Growing more into the woman that God has purposed me to be.

What will the new year bring?
Who knows? We can plan all we want but life throws us curve balls all the time. My goal is to just take what life gives me and make it into MY party. LOL I’m just going to enjoy everything and keep things moving.

I’m expecting great things in 2012. God is going to do amazing things in my life and in the life if others.

One thing I want to do is a voluntourism trip in 2012. Go somewhere like Guatamala and help build a bottle school.

Oh yeah, it’s gonna be a GREAT year!!!!

God Bless,

A Great Weekend

I won’t be going in to too much details right now but I had an awesome weekend. It would have been great if my girls were with me but they were with their Dad. They will be with him until the New Years.

Even though they were away, I still had fun. I spent it with my new friend. We talked a lot. That was really good for me. It seems like we have this weird connection. We get each other. He understands my sly remarks and sarcasm without me having to explain what I meant about it. That’s definitely a good change in my life…someone who actually UNDERSTANDS me.

He cooked for me this weekend, dinner and breakfast twice. We watched a movie and watched a couple of comedy shows. But mostly, the TV was off and we talked.

I took him to meet my brother, mother and father on Christmas day. I know my family loves me but they can be a pain at times.
According to my mother, my brother complained about him being short. Then they both wanted to make sure he wasn’t my ‘REBOUND’ guy.
Seriously? Do you not think that I’m a smart enough woman to know what I want? If I wanted a rebound guy I would have gotten with so many of those other knuckleheads that tried to holla at me.

Who would have known that God would put someone in my life like him? It’s refreshing to meet a brother that knows he’s not perfect, doesn’t try to be perfect but still is striving to live in God’s will. He’s a wonderful father to his two kids. OMG – I can’t believe I’m talking about him like this on my blog.

Okay, that’s enough, needless to say, I have a smile on my face and I’m happy. I was happy before and had a smile but my smile has just gotten a little bit bigger.

Much Love and Blessings,

Surprise Tree For The Girls

The girls were at their Daddy’s house this weekend. I had already told them that there wouldn’t be a Christmas tree this year. When I moved out of the house, I left all the Christmas things with their Dad. I told them that it would be cheaper to purchase a tree and ornaments after Christmas. Plus, there weren’t gonna be any gifts under the tree so why did we need one. They will also be spending 12/21-1/1 at their Dad’s house.

But it’s just the fact of having a tree for them. So, my mom loaned me hers since she wasn’t putting one up. When they got home today they were surprised to see the tree.

Pumpkins said that as soon as she got in from school she turned the tree on. When I got home, she had stacked up a bunch of pillows on the floor next to the tree and was reading her book. That puts a big smile on my face.

I also made a pumpkin pie for them. Pumpkins has been asking for one for weeks now. They are now getting ready to eat that while we watch A Charlie Brown Christmas together.

It’s the Christmas season and I’m gonna make sure my girls have a good time. This is their first without their mother and father together.

But they will make it through this just fine. My girls are survivors.

Much Love,
Queenie

It’s Gonna Get Better

Why do people work so hard for the pleasures of right now, with no thought of the future? I mean, it’s okay to have pleasure now but don’t pull all your eggs in one basket.

I’m enjoying life now, but not too much that I can’t enjoy life later also.

Instead of buying all kinds of junk for my kids this Christmas, I booked us a trip to Cancun next summer. The  materialistic things they’ll get from others this Christmas will fade. They will lose interest. Or they’ll get lost. But the memories will never be forgotten of their first all-inclusive DreamTrip. And it’s a whole lot cheaper than what used to be spent on them for Christmas. It’s only $400 for each of them (including the flight). Now tell me if that isn’t the deal.

I have finally come across the deal. This deal is changing my life and I’m watching as it’s changing so many others lives. They are so much happier and this makes me happy. To be able to bring something so amazing into the lives of others is priceless.

I know live to help others with this unbelievable concept. I never in a million years thought something like this would ever come my way. I thank God that I was open minded when it came before me and I jumped right in.

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted but it’s time to start back up. Time to put into action the point of this blog site. To have something for my girls to look back on later and “remember when”.

God Bless,
Queenie
