"Don't End Up Stuck Like Me"



"Tamara, you have your passion that you can't give up on. Don't end up stuck like me. I don't even know what I'm good at anymore." Those words were spoken to me a few weeks ago on a day I woke up asking myself, "Why am I doing this?!" That woman didn't know what type of day I was having because I was all smiles and appeared to be full of energy (due to espresso).  What dream or dreams had this woman dismissed and why?! How do we even get to the point of not knowing what we even want in life?! The answers can go on and on and on. Her words have, obviously, stuck with me. Often, words that energize you, will come to you at the times you really need to hear them! And, just as it was done for you, remember to offer words of energy and life to someone else.
What life words or advice keep you going?! What life words or advice have you given?!

C.R.A.Z.Y.



I had my first laugh of 2016 in the form of  a picture or I should say, a list. The headline on this list reads, "Top Crazy Women's Names". Yes. My government name is on the list. Although, I had another brief post I was going to share, that list has compelled me to write and share this post instead, thanks to Mr. Comedy Central. So what does CRAZY mean? Let's review it very carefully:
                                   
                                    COURAGEOUS...
                                                because the alternative would kill her vibe and her vision
                                    RESPECTED...
                                                because when she talks, people find help in the                                                                                 wisdom she shares
                                    ABSOLUTE...
                                                because you never have to guess her angle
                                    ZEALOUS...  
                                                because her love for life is contagious
                                    YOUTHFUL...
                                                because she continually celebrates her born-day with vigor

I hope you have a C.R.A.Z.Y. 2016!
