Newness New Year

I've really been neglecting you and I'm sorry... I've either been under the weather or just chilling having me time and I really haven't taken any time to write to you.

I'm really trying to get my life in order so that I can start the new year with a new slate and just feel good. This past year has been really wild yet eventful. Overall I can say 2003 has been a year of blessings for me, whether or not they seemed that way at the time. I've taken great milestones, been near death, gone through too much drama, but have seen the sun shine, experienced happiness and have been rekindlingone of the greatest relationships that a person can have.

Right now I feel like I am growing spiritually and mentally. I am trying to start new habits and bring about good changes within my life. I'm also just trying to free myself from negative people, negative things and negative energies. I'm also just rekindling that relationship and reaching new plateaus in my spirituality. I've learn to accept myself for who I am and except what flaws I may think that I have because it's all apart of the plan to mold me and shape me into who and what I need to be.

The holiday season is going on and there are many things to be thankful for and to reflect on during this time...I reflect and honor the changes that I have made this year... my hair- I have learned to appreciate my "eclectic crown" and I let her do her thing and she's growing and making me beautiful...my eating/fitness habits- today in church it was reaffirmed in the message of how MY body is MY temple and I should treat it accordingly, what I do to it is a reflection of me as a person and my destiny... my spirituality- GOD is awesome, that's my phrase because that's what he is, he's absolutely amazing he does what he sees fit for me in HIS time and I appreciate that and respect that... so many other changes have happened but that is reflected in me and through me and its radiated and reflected in my walk.

As the new year approaches I thank god for all the things that have occurred in the last 12 months, the ups and downs, the scares and the surprises.... Through it all he has blessed me and I am so grateful for that !
