Gi-Gi's Random Rambles on Catching Feelings

My heart is becoming a breeding ground for those things that we as humans call feelings. I guess it's human nature to catch these from time to time but for me it's a difficult task because over the years I have had to place a steel frame around my heart. I know you're thinking she's always talking about being a free spirit and giving & receiving love freely and now she over here having issues with catching feelings. F.Y.I. people I'm human!!! (Insert me screaming to the top of my lungs here) Trying to decide if it's wise to become vested in someone that you're kinda digging can be a  rather difficult task. I'm a firm believer in building a solid foundation of friendship prior to pursuing more with someone. My question is how does one put those "FEELINGS" away so that they don't taint the friendship during the growth process? This is my current dilemma. Wanting to give more than what's required has been something that I have always had a habit of doing. On the other hand who's to say that I'm give too much?  I have a habit of taking on a "MOM" role in relationships. How does one stop doing this? And once the friendship is established how does one move on to the second phase without there being a disconnect? I just want to take my time and build a healthy long lasting relationship with someone that I can call my best friend.

Reflections of My Morning Meditation 12.10

I am more than enough.

I choose to inspire life in my daily actions.

I accept my whole self: mind, body and spirit.

I take responsibility for my actions and words. 

I choose to see each obstacle as an opportunity to grow. 

I freely express gratitude for the many blessings I receive.

My morning meditation was awesome !!!! Put me on another level of understanding... opened space in my spirit that was being occupied by negative energy that was and is not of me. I reflect only what I want to receive in this life. #Love #Postiveenergy #Light #Givingspirit #humblesoul

Life Moments

I wish that more people would embrace the beauty that resides in this life that we are blessed with... I only see beauty reflected in those that I choose to share my life moments with & I cherish each one of them ...

Learning to only accept what I reflect was the best life lesson that I have learned in this life. My life's mission is to "INSPIRE LIFE" ...

To inspire means to breathe GOD or LIFE... In order to breathe one must inhale & exhale ... It's all about give & take ... 

Question:

What are you giving & receiving?

In Her Shoes

In Her Shoes

If only for one moment I could stand in her shoes 

No need for walking 

I would just stand tall 

I crave her energy, life and spirit 

but why do I envy her 

When she is me ... 

Why do we crave what we already have?

My Current Thoughts #8 "PEOPLE"

Me & My Scattered Thoughts 

Those who REALLY know me know that I don't do fake EVER. I'm honest and direct at all times be it in friendships, relationships & in business. I'm a very observant person & when something doesn't sit well with my spirit, I have to let it go or voice my opinion. I have learned never to totally trust a person's words because there actions will always speak their truth. You can always see the core of a person's heart through their actions.... I have been busy weeding my garden of friendship lately ... Flowers will NEVER bloom when surrounded by weeds & I am a precious flower that deserves to be nurtured and handled with care. When you have a certain standard & know your worth, it makes all the difference. 

I've also been wondering why is it so hard for some people to realize that if your actions aren't done in Love, they don't count. Love is the only real connective tissue that allows you not to live & die by yourself. It gives you purpose beyond YOU.~Will Smith~ (GOD is love)

And do I have I wanna be your secret lover written on my forehead... Umm if we can't be seen in public together "WE" can't be!!! I'm NOT her. So keep it moving because I have standards. #PURE COMEDY 

Had to go back and watch this video today

10 Years Post Gastric Bypass

Today has been a rather awesome day !!!  I didn't realize until late in the afternoon that today marked my 10 year anniversary since having gastric bypass surgery. It also marked 10 years since my stroke, which was a life changing experience. That day changed my life forever. People ask me all the time do I have any regrets and my response is and always will be NO.

Early Morning Thoughts ~The urge to just "BE"~

Early Morning Thoughts ~The urge to just "BE"~

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you could feel this deep burning sensation .

This urge to just "BE" to be in love... You want it, yet you you fight this constant battle with yourself because you fear being hurt.

How do you control these feelings, thoughts,wants & desires to "BE"?

The verbal & non-verbal communication is there.

The way he looks at you when he smiles or a naughty thought comes to mind .

You vibe so well together its just weird. It seems like being together is so far away.

yet so close or is it just understood.
