Stop Complaining Already!!!!

Hello my dear friends!! So as I complete this year....the Year of Susan, the one thing I am going to stop doing is complaining. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Negative Nancy by any means nor do I see the glass as half full. I do however sometimes feel the "weight" on my shoulders and some days it is more than a girl wants to bear. I mean let's be real here, how much can a sister take?!?! When you are the one that typically does it all, be it at home or at work, others begin to see you as that "go to" person for any and everything. As nice as it is to be needed, sometimes you want to just say STOP ALREADY!! So, why don't we? I can only look at myself here and maybe you can see yourself in my mirror. I have a take charge, get it done personality. It is who I am and part of me thrives on it. But the other part of me wishes people would do what they're supposed to do and not look to me as if it is MY problem. I do it to myself though. I really do. For one, I should say something when it all becomes too much but no...I take it on then bitch about it later. Well, no more....stop complaining already! If I don't want to do something then I should say so, otherwise quit the moaning and get the job done! That goes for me and it goes for you too!! (And I don't want to hear you complain about it). :) Love you all!!!

What is it really all about??

Hello my friends....I hope the month of October is treating you well. I am excited everyday about the opportunities that come my way. The challenges and struggles we face only make us stronger. Many of you are ready to tackle the world with all your might and all I can say is GO FOR IT!! Think about 2011 and what this year has meant for you. Look ahead into 2012 and tell yourself what that year will mean for you. Some of you will experience life changing events...you will start a new career, move to a new city, marry, have a child, gain a friend....at that same time some of you (including myself) will lose a job, divorce, lose a friend, experience the death of someone close, experience a tragedy...all things we don't want to happen but for some of us it will. How will you respond? That is the question you must ask yourself. How you respond, your approach to life and the things it brings your way is what makes you who you are. I am a survivor and all good things come my way..no matter what it is. The Year of SUSAN....YES!! The Year of YOU...YES!! There are a few months left so let's make it a year to remember...together!! Love you all!!!

October Already??!!??!!

Hello my dear friends!! I can't believe a month has already passed us by. Where does the time go? I am very excited about finishing this year strong so I must work hard not to let myself fall off the wagon. I have goals, dreams, ambitions. "I want to be a star Mom!". Anyway....I hope the month of October is a pleasant one. As we approach the last quarter of this year I take a moment to look back and reflect on my past life. The life I have lived and what I have done or what I didn't do. The one thing that remains true...time continues to pass us by and we can either surf this wave as long as God gives us breath or we can walk around with our heads in the sand, oblivious to what is going on and what is happening in our lives. I started 2011 50/50. What I mean is 50/50 working on my goals and not working on my goals. Well I have said it before and I will say it again...we fall down, but we get up. I pray that God continues to give me breath, life on this earth so I may do all HE wants and expects me to do. May I always be mindful of my blessings and take no moment for granted. Tomorrow is promised to no one. I ask for His blessings and His grace upon me. This has been the Year of Susan....I am thankful it has been and will continue to be a great one!
