Many times we add extra strain and pressure on ourselves by continuing to be involved with toxic people. Ever notice how as long as there is drama and confusion,your audience is spellbound and hanging on your every word. But speak about something positive and up lifting and you can hear the crickets singing in the corner.
If all a person has is negativity,that person is toxic. Put on your hazmat suit, your shoe covers, and gas mask and walk away. Toxic people kill everything striving to grow and live. They never let you water your dreams, nor do the let the sun shine on them to grow.
When you say, "I want to start a non profit to help battered and abused women", only to hear, "there is alot of places like that all ready, your just wasting your time". RUN!!!
That person is contaminating your space with negative feedback and killing your dream!
We are responsible for the things that come out of our mouths as well as what we put in there. Life and Death is in the power of the tongue. You are either going to speak life into your dreams, or you are going to allow Toxic people to place the nail in the coffin!

I've Learned
Ive heard with age comes wisdom
But I'm finding that to not exactly be true
It seems the older some of us get
The slower we get.
I've learned that it doesn't matter how old your are,
You can still learn a thing or two from a young person.
I've learned that real friends don't ask questions,
They do what is needed and keep it moving.
I've learned you can tell a person something a million times,
But once they make up their mind,you can't change it.
I've learned when people call to talk about their problems,
Sometimes they just want you to listen they really don't want your input.
I've learned you have all the friends in the world,
Until you get sick,or your car breaks down..
I've learned to accept my have's and have not's
I've learned to respect other people's feeling about me
Good or Bad
I've learned that you either like the person your are
Or focus on liking the person you will become.
I've learned that people are not our pet projects
We either like them they way they are or we don't
I've learned that people don't change
They've been that way all the time
We just didn't want to see it.

Life's Lessons Learned
Are we really setting an example for our children when we tell them to get an education
and yet we don't have one?
And how can you raise a man to be a man if you never been taught by a man?
How are we suppose to show our daughters how to be treated with respect,
If we don't first respect ourselves.
We have to learn self love and get rid of self hate.
We must teach our children it's not what you say
It's how you say it.
And sometimes you have to go down the road of have nots,
In order to get to the streets of Amen.
It's not what can be done for you,
It's what you have done that speaks volumes.
Don't let a pass hurt hinder your happiness today.
Don't allow nonsense to get in the way of your victory.
Nothing good comes easy,
And anything worth having you have to fight for.
But through it all it's never a mistake,
These are all life's lesson's learned.

Positive Thoughts
Step outside your box and expand your mind, you'd be surprised at the journey it can lead too....
We fail because we lack patience. Slow down, proceed with caution,and wait for the green light, then GO!!!!

Plant your seeds (money, tithes, ect.) on fruitful land, and watch the blessings multiply. If you've been in a place(church, a relationship, etc) for some time and you have yet to reap a harvest or a full return. Yet you are faithful and committed and give yourself selflessly.......... It's time to move on to your next destination
A peaceful Journey
"We all have gone through something or another, but I believe that we must tell our own story when we are ready for the audience to hear it." Camela Humphries
Many people follow me to see what I'm going to do next,alot of those people are my biggest cheerleaders in life. I have a very small circle of friends who encourage me to do better. Those same friends have said, you have a story that needs to be told.
I always worried about everyone else's feelings when it came time to tell my story, then it dawned on me. It's not about hurting those who hurt me,it's about healing and letting go. It's also about being a beacon of light to someone else who may be struggling with the same issues.
I'm not writing this out of spite or hate.I am writing it in hopes that someone who is going through,or has gone through a similar experience, can walk with their heads held high and know there is light at the end of the tunnel!
