Google anyone?

Greetings to all!!! Have you ever googled yourself? You may be amazed or horrified by the results. First, let me say that googling my name did not bring me up. When I googled SNP the first link was to my blog page-YEAH!! But what I did find when I googled my name is so many wonderful women who have had or are having very fulfilled, exciting lives!! How awesome, right?!? I mean what if they were all psychopaths and wanted for horrible crimes? The great thing is, they were not. I read some of the bios and found out a little bit about each of them. There is a sort of connection with someone that shares your name. I mean really, of all the names in the world, someone else on this earth has your name!!! I plan on adding to the list of interesting, beautiful, exciting, influential, sophisticated, accomplished, loved, charming, intelligent, blessed Susan Porter's. Google yourself....you never know what you may find. Love you all!!!

Do you really listen?

Greetings to all!!! Hope the day has treated you well. The question for today is "Do you really listen"? By that I mean do you really listen to your spouse, children, siblings, parents or friends? Do you really listen to your boss, business partner, coworkers, or employees? Do you really listen or do you hear only what you want to hear? When you are in a relationship you know is not going anywhere, do you listen to your heart or your head? However, the most important question of all is, do you really listen to yourself? We all have that inner voice that talks to us...a sixth sense you could say. You know, the one that tells to you to take a different route home. The one that tells you to double check the coffee pot. Even the one that tells you not to trust someone, although you are not sure why. As you go about your day, make sure you take the time to really listen. GOD speaks to us all the time. The only problem to that is, are we listening? My request to each of you is to ask GOD to speak to you, and please, please, please, ask him to open your ears, soul and heart so you can REALLY LISTEN. Love you all!!!!!

Eureka!!! I found it!!

Greetings to all!!! Hope you are having a wonderful day. Well guess what??? EUREKA-I FOUND IT!! What did I find you ask? I found my source, my passion. Each of us has something locked, lost deep down inside. It is waiting to come out. What I found, is that if you are quiet long enough, ask for it to be revealed, and you listen with all your heart, you will find it. For those of you who have already found it, kudos to you. I have very special friends in my life who are currently living their dream. For those of you however that are still seeking, trust me when I say, SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND. So what did I find? All of my life I have been a creative person. I used to talk to my toys and use my imagination to its' fullest. In fact I still do. As a teenager, I use to write commercials and planned on having my own advertising agency (SNP ORIGINAL-like the name). My creativity is probably what allows me to understand foreign language the way I do. Okay, back to the point....What I found is my creativity and my LOVE for being creative. I will begin and continue to nurture that and watch it grow into a beautiful flower, prospering into a fruitful garden. So now I ask each of you to follow your hearts!! Tell me when you find your gold!!!! EUREKA!!!! Love you all!!

Purpose

Greetings to all!!! I have decided to give my blog a theme. For some time now, I have been looking for a purpose for myself. I have been in a place of seeking personal fulfillment, yearning for a "passion", wanting to know why I am here. Blogging came to me via another person's site and since I have started unleashing my thoughts and feelings, I feel as if something has been revealed to me. This is just the teaser, but trust me when I say.....Be prepared to learn more, live more and love more. The world is going to know the power of the pen (or in this case the blog). I look forward to sharing my life with you and hopefully (GOD willing) give you something else to enrich your life. Love you all!!!

Thanksgiving

Greetings friends!!! I do pray all is well with each of you. I also pray SOMEONE is reading this blog besides me :)!! Anyway, as we approach this holiday season and begin the celebrations by giving thanks, let's be mindful of the things we should be thankful for. It is very easy sometimes to feel as if life is not what you want it to be. I can understand how quickly one can fall into that trap before they know it. We move daily in our routines and fall prey to acknowledging our short comings. Well the fact that we woke up this morning is a blessing within itself because every day is a new day to make it all better. I am thankful that my eyes, ears, heart and soul are open to receiving Christ. I am thankful for my wonderful family. I truly have been blessed in that area of my life. I am thankful for wonderful friends for GOD has given me another jackpot in that area as well. I am thankful for my thinking. That may sound strange, but take a moment and listen to others around you. It is wonderful to have a mind that thinks about the positives, embraces challenges, can accept others for who they are, is willing to be open, able to be compassionate. I could go on and on but I think you get the point. I am thankful for many things but the three I listed are the most important to me. For without knowing Christ, without the love of your family and without friends to share your life with, everything else would be insignificant.
Have a wonderful holiday!! Love you all-

Reflection

Greetings to all!!! Today has been a very enlightening day. Have you ever reached a place in your life where you feel all that you should be doing or should have done has not been fulfilled? That moment of questioning your self worth? Well let me tell you, it is not a good place to be in. One should never doubt their importance or whether or not they have made a difference in this life. For once you begin traveling down that spiral staircase, it seems impossible to run back up to the top. At what point do we begin second guessing ourselves? Who said we ever had to be what others want us to be? I have found however it is not about what others want you to be that matters, but it is about what YOU want for yourself. I am reading some very interesting books right now (comment back if you want the titles) and I am continuing the grow myself personally and spiritually. The greatest regret one can have is the regret of knowing you did not do your best. Don't be a part of the norm, average and ordinary. Don't allow yourself to sell yourself short. Don't miss out on what is there for the taking, so just reach out your hands and grab it!! Live today as if it were your last, and plan for tomorrow as if you have many, many more to come. Remember..."I don't know, only GOD knows where the story ends for me, but I know where the story begins. It's up to us to choose whether we win or lose, and I CHOOSE TO WIN."-Mary J. :)
