Country soul

As promised, I wanted to share my lovely country concert experience. I have to admit when asked what my favorite genre or type of music, county does not always come to mind.

However,  I am a firm believer that all types of music can bring joy to our lives. I enjoyed the performances of Scotty McCreery, The Band Perry, and Brad Paisley, but I really enjoyed their songs about women.

What a wonderful thing to write about! We truly are a mystery and we are also something to be admired. Place yourself on your pedestal my ladies, because that is where you should be.

Do not interpret this honor as a way to belittle others. It is more about your self-worth. When a man wants your time and more importantly your love, he should have to work for it.

Your time and affection should be appreciated. This is also true with your friends and family.

Chivalry is not dead. There are men that realize what women are worth. (Respect, honor, affection)

Men should be nothing less than charming princes. Women should always act appropriately for we all hold a title of princess.

Paper hearts

(♥)

With all the fuzzy bears, candy hearts, and coconut-cherry filled chocolates, Valentine's Day can seem pretentious, rather than about appreciating the people you love. Although, I may not receive a fuzzy bear of my own, this is no reason to not like what the day stands for.

Instead, maybe cupid's arrow is meant for just one heart, rather than two. The one heart that holds and protects ones desires, hopes, and dreams.

Your heart.

I think the most important love is self-love. No one is going to love you, if you don't love yourself first.

I realize Valentine's Day is seven days away, but I don't plan on waiting for one day to love myself. This type of love should occur everyday.

So, write on your own paper heart a sweet something. Keep it safe and remind yourself everyday how special you really are.

Self-Worth

All you have to do is dream...

Looking back can sometimes bring light to how to move forward. I may not have crossed everything off my to do list, but at least I tried. Everyday can be viewed as a challenge. Or everyday can be viewed as an opportunity. Although, I may not have everything I want, I do take time to appreciate what I do have. There will always be someone greater or lesser than you. This should not affect your self-worth or what you plan to accomplish...your dreams. 

How do you plan on finding your happiness in 2012? 

"This year make it less about must improve myself  and more about must enjoy myself" -Glamour Magazine 

Appreciate the journey. Although I blog, I keep a personal diary and quote book. I can see how I've grown into the person I am today. Quotes are inspiring. I write some down on a dry erase board or notecard, so I can see it everyday. Whatever you dream can come true, just don't neglect the hardwork it takes to get there.
