A poem I love--yet never listened Sep 18th, 2006 10:11:33 pm - Subscribe
Mood | beautiful

Ever since I was a little kid I remember finding this book of poems at my grandmother's house. Whenever I wanted to get away I would read this book, that included some of the most beautiful I ever heard. One of my favorite poems is the
The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.
I always wanted to hit the road that nobody used or traveled on for their journey. Since that time I have traveled every road there is imaginable that belongs to others, instead of taking the road that simply belongs to me.

I have attached this poem for your personal reflection. Enjoy!!!

Robert Frost (1874â€"1963)

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and Iâ€"
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Life....On the wire Sep 12th, 2006 11:47:06 pm - Subscribe
Mood | somber

Have you ever wondered what is the next thing to happen in your life? I wonder that all the time, as a matter of fact it's on my mind right now. In the past year I have purchased 2 "investment" properties-lost both because they were worthless. I just filed for Chapter 7 fucking up my credit because of those 2 properties. The properties were incorrectly appraised at a high value. I couldn't sell them with the market the way it is. Mortgage companies were pushing for wage garnishment. So filing Chapter 7 seem the route to take. They were my major debt problem, other debt was school loans and IRS...no credit cards.
Maybe I should have rethought that option? Hey, I it's to late now besides it could be worse...like the trouble my friend is having with the "investment" properties.
To top it all off I need a damn full time job.

The crazy thing about all of this is, I know its going to get better. I don't know when or how but I know it will get better. I must say I am proud of myself at this point in my life, because if this happened 2.5 years ago I would have been a total wreck. I guess since I'm much older now (29 yrs old) and have experienced so much in a little time span, I'm confident in myself. I have gained a spiritual awakening and understanding that has caused me to see occurences in a brighter light. I now understand the saying, "Things happen for a reason and not just for the hell of it."

So I'm OK......I'm OK

Oh! I decided to go back to school to become an esthestician. I can have a career I love, work for myself, and generate the income I need to live a beneficial life.

Mood | wounded

I need to release some issues that are building up inside me and making me angry.
*my mother depending on me
*my oldest sister telling how to run my life
*my significant other not appreciating me
and telling me how beautiful I am
*my father not developing a meaninful
relationship me
*my mom for letting that "man" beat up
on her around my lil sis and me
*my mom for making "him" dinner before
making sure we ate
*my mom for telling the cops everything is
ok when really it wasn't, when I called
them
*my brother for being such a low life
*myself for asking for other's opinion before
I do something
*myself for not having cofindence in ME
*myself for not speaking up for myself
*myself for the low self esteem
*the very first boy I ever loved for having a
child with my cousin
*myself for being afraid to take chances
*myself for loving men more than loving ME

just needed to let go

I got an offer Oct 18th, 2005 2:59:49 pm - Subscribe
Mood | electrified

I just got an offer to join with an organization as a professional organizer. I signed on with this woman to become a mentee/intern to learn the organizing business. My goal was to learn from the business inside and out and to start my own.
Well today while we were having a lesson over the phone she stated she likes how I interact with clients and how I work. She stated she would love for me to come on board with her organizing business. Since I am younger and live in a different area than what she works I can tap into an unused market.
I am totally excited about this opportunity because it gives me the opportuniyt to get meet more clients, gives exposure being associated with her and I can definetly learn the business even better with someone to back me up or ask questions if I need to. I told her I will let her know what I decide to do, but hey my mind is made up--I'm coming on board!

I am so irritated. I have decided to start my own business, which is organizing home and home offices. Damn It ! I am angry this is my idea and my shit.
Someone is always trying to dictate my life and tell me what I need to do and how I should do it. Well no more, I had enough. I want my ideas and business to become mine and that is it nobody but mine.

I am going to start my business. Lending a Helping Hand, organizing home and home office environment. I declutter and organize your home environment to create abundance and positive energy flow.
This is what I want to do, and become a freelance writer.
