That APPRECIATION



TEARS AND LAUGHTER

My first job was in a restaurant. I was 13 years old. My mother and Grandmother worked in restaurants my whole life, so I spent a good amount of time in them. I had always known it wasn't for me. Although I spent years and years going from one restaurant to another, thinking it was going to maybe be better. The one thing I have to say Im grateful for through everything, is my opportunity to see all different types of people. Learning how to deal with different personalities. And not taking everything so personal. Learning to stay calm in situations when you really don't want to. How to interact with people and build relationships. 





Last month, I was presented the oppertunity to work for a start up company doing record reviews. This alone, I can't even begin to express how thankful I am. I work with two people who I already feel at home with. They have been so welcoming,  and I truly feel the woman I work with was put in my life at this time for a reason. I feel I am learning so much from her. They work around my schedule with Michael and school. This change in environment has changed my perspective on working. And came at the perfect time. 





MICHAEL 


My baby. If there is anything to be thankful for, it is him. He is the smile on my face and the understanding of myself. This is my natural role. I thank god for blessing me with a beautiful and healthy boy. Everyday is an experience. I see myself in him and i'm constantly learning. He is unconditional love. And I'm thankful to be able to experience that feeling. To and from.

    Charlene,

    Nice post. This is very clean and well-written. I really like the images and how you spread them on your page.

    Sounds like you started with humble roots. My first job was dishwashing in a restaurant, and it taught me a lot about earning a spot, working hard no matter what, and being humble until I earn my way up.

    What's the name of the record review site? I'd like to check out some of your reviews when they get published. That's exciting!

    Only suggestion would be to find some time to write just a little bit more. Fill more in. Go further.

My Form of Rememberance

Look in the mirror. Who do you see? Who is staring back at you. What is the deep reflection of yourself? What do others see? What will they remember when you pass?                                              COSMIC LOVE FROM THE MOTHERSHIP. Its that time of year, when you can sleep with your windows open and watch the wind blow your curtains in and out, like the breaths you take. Its then, when you become one with your thoughts and emotions. You analyze what is and what is to come. You feel the beauty of the earth and find peace within yourself.  May 2nd, 2018. I had just put Michael to sleep. I watched the smile on his face, while I rubbed his back. We prayed, for God to guide our hearts and our dreams. To keep our thoughts pure and love shining through.  I then come into my room and stare out the window. Through my conf...

Dear G, I am writing to thank you. You may or may not be wondering what I am thanking you for exactly. And I guess before I go into detail, I will say, you have saved me in all the ways a person could be saved. You saved me first without knowing, and you continue to everyday. You have shown me what love is and that it doesn’t give up. You have shown me there’s more to life than what I was settling for. You were the first person to push me and believe in me, that I could be greater than what was always seen of me. Straight out of confusion, I found a book. That book was the beginning of a future I didn’t know was in store for me. It had pieces of you and that drew to me. But what was crazy is I had no idea it was you. Flipping through the pages I had seen a story of us unfolding.   A guideline holding our future, through the cracks of the story.   Meeting you in a basement full of white lies, you noticed. You saw right to the core and we both felt like we had bee...

My Plan A.  I've been working my tale off. Spending my days in school with a career of Interior Design in mind. While working doing the opposite, sitting in an office, recruiting physicians and attorneys for medical record reviews. All while  raising my baby boy, who's not so much a baby anymore. I've been blessed in so many ways but now I am ready to take a risk and start a new adventure. My heart has been pulling me towards something and somewhere else my whole life and now I can make sense of it all. I am finally mentally, financially, and physically prepared to jump on that plane and head to Bali, Indonesia.  Growing up, I always had a pretty intense and hectic aura coming from and surrounding me. I never knew how to deal with my emotions or emotions of others around me. As I grew older, I had found understanding in my surroundings. Or at least started to. I wanted peace to come from within me. I wanted to radiate happiness. I never wanted to live a norm...
