Golden hearts ♥️ & souls of steel

Good morning bloggers,

It has been a minute, but this summer has been a worldwind of good situations for me & my loved ones!
It all started with trip to Aruba, after working 2 full-time jobs & landing in the hospital due to the stress that caused, I indulged in a much needed vacation. While on vacation I solidified my capability of managing all aspects of my life productively. The longer I am independent I am discovering that I am capable of successfully executing my goals.
Which brings me to my title: golden hearts & souls of steel. I have unconsciously surrounded myself with like minded people & have embossed 5 awesome human beings to be  loving & giving souls. It has been my experience in my 47 years of living that everybody has their own journey & those journies may be long & tedious, some may even be torturous, but what gives us character is how we react to these situations. It amazes me to witness & experience my loved ones success! When they accomplish a goal I praise them & encourage them to go further. When they become worrisome or feel like they want to give up, I always motivate them to continue, remind them how far they have come, & make them look back to see how much they have already accomplished.
This summer has been filled with positive situations & milestones that I will forever remember. From my best friend’s wedding, to my 2nd born’s wedding, to the announcement of my son’s male twins, even a couple of my work babies graduating with their masters! Needless to say it all these accomplishments & celebrations have motivated me even more to expedite my endeavors!
& as I witness all these amazing human beings defy the odds I notice how graceful they are. Always so tentative to each other’s feelings & really being considerate @ all times, showing strength & pushing through even when difficult times arrive. It’s not easy being strong & continuing to succeed successfully! I’m in awe of my loved ones & appreciate them in my life & respect them & above all love them so much. I consider myself blessed to have them in my life!

Quantified Success

Good morning bloggers,

 I come to you from a place of love, humbleness, & gratitude. I had been feeling a little blue & was having a conversation with my uncle Louie, he reminded me to take a minute & look back & see all that I have accomplished. He also told me that he thought the odds were stacked against me & was under the impression that I was going to become a statistic. But, I beat all the odds & continue to rise & tackle all my life hurdles. As I took my uncle’s advice, I realized that he was speaking truth & facts. His words resonated in my mind & so I looked back  @ my journey, & although it has been a very winding path with allot of sharp turns, I managed to successfully navigate it.
Most people measure their success by materialism, but I don’t measure my success by objects. I quantify my success by how many people I have affected positively & I can proudly say that I am quite satisfied & blessed to have affected so many, but I also realized that they have impacted my life positively as well. All the people that I have surrounded myself with share some common themes between us & that is: positive vibes, good karma, & genuine love!
I always tell my close friends that I can never complain about my life, I might not have an expensive car, fancy expensive clothes, or a big mansion. But, I have been able to meet beautiful people & have some amazing experiences & for that I consider myself to be accomplished & have a new found sense of purpose!
So I share with you the love I have for my peeps & hope that you feel the love permeate through this entry:
