Confessions From A Black Rose

So a lot of things have occurred in my life since my last post. Someone really dear to me lost a loved one during the Haiti Earthquake. It was another wake up call for me on how precious and short life can be.It was also a call for action for me, a call to actual live. So i am re energized and ready to give my dreams a shot. Even if they don't come true, I can die knowing at least I tried. During the aftermath of earthquake in Haiti I did not know what to say since according to my peers I am emotionally stunted. I just tried my best to be the crying shoulder. I was able to find a really uplifting biblical verse; "Send to me your Holy Ghost with an abundance of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge that I may bring forth words capable of uplifting the souls of your people who are downtrodden and discouraged Oh God". Titus 3 On the job front, this was my first week as a volunteer for a local organization around my hometown that helps women. It has been a learning experience

So 2009 is officially over and I am elated. I admit that 2009 had its moments; my sister's wedding, my graduation and becoming a jersey girl were the highlights. Unfortunately 2009 brought a lot of sorrow to my life. I lost two people who were dear to me. It made me think about what life is all about and how I treat people. Now that its over I have learnt from the mistakes of yesterday and I am ready for the success of tomorrow. I believe that 2010 is going to be my year, in fact I have claimed it. I cannot predict the future but I do see great things in my life this year. I have learnt overtime that nothing goes according to plan but there is no harm in planning anyways.
