EXTRACT THERES NO BETTER PLACE THAN HOME

After a terrible rainstorm  
In the sky, I saw a rainbow.
All the bright, beautiful colors made me feel so warm
As they dipped down so low.

I thought back to that legend of old
Sitting on my grandfather's knee.
"At the end of the rainbow is a pot of gold,"
He would say to me.

Every time I would see a rainbow
In that big, beautiful sky so bold
I would cross my fingers and make a vow,
"I would be the one to find that pot of gold."

So one day I bid my family and friends good-bye
As I started on my journey, following that rainbow.
I walked away quickly, knowing if I lingered I would cry.
I left to find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

But as I traveled so far and so long,
I could not find the end of that elusive rainbow.
Feeling very sad, I began to hear a song;
A song from my childhood so sweet and low.

By the song I was sold.
No more did I need to roam.
In all that time I was searching for that pot of gold,
It was with my family and friends, at home.

FORGET FIRST IMPRESSIONS

They're the few people who accept silence over conversation

A relationship like this denies silly promises and persuasion

You don't feel the need to second guess thoughts or measure words for they may fall short

Their love comes in wholes, not halves, not thirds.you give wholes without expectations for that's what love is 

They're the ones that will guide you through when fate takes a turn,having complete faith in the unknown and accepting what comes

Fights, small and large, end in forgiveness, never a burn because it's easier to love than to hate after all why cause yourself unrest

You forget about first impressions and the feelings they brought because you have seen who they really are and know without a doubt there is beauty in imperfection 

You're grateful for who they are and you forgive 'em for what they're not.For we too fall short.

BELIEVE

Every morning you wake up is a new beginning

To wake up each morning is a gift.there are days that it doesn't seem like it,but each day is a blessing and on those days when life doesn't seem like it's worth living are the days that you have to put in more effort into making it work.

The days that hurt are the days that are worth are worth the extra push and deep down you do know what you want to achieve in this lifetime and you have to strive to make it work till you get Wher you want to be.

As a woman I do believe that we are amazing beings we have the capability of withstanding even the greatest of pains which intern means there's absolutely nothing we can't achieve.because where there is need to create or become there is possibility for it to happen /come to pass.

When you look around you and see all the things other people go through that should give you the drive to make all you dream of come true there is hope if you BELIEVE so never stop believing you can achieve because your bigger than anything that can happen to you .

I like to say I was created to do something no one else could do that's why I'm me and not you so don't try be someone your not your an original don't try be a copy to fit in.

I believe  we all have a reason for existing you just have to know your worth and go the extra mile of never settling for anything less than what you deserve  because you are special and nothing or nobody can take that away from you so don't let them know who you are and be comfortable with who you are

You are special you are beautiful both inside and out.you where specially chosen to be in this world don't let anything bring you down especially if the Lord Almighty is rooting for you to succeed.

STANDING UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN

I've always been the kind of person that puts other people's interests before my own,telling myself don't worry you can always figure it out. So just let them win this battle your better than this and most times I'd end up upset with myself and I'd take out my frustration out on that person

when the Reality was I was upset with myself because I didn't stand up for what I believed in Most. all to make the other person happy when I would be hurting deep down with no one to comfort me because even when I had a chance to fix the issue I silenced myself

I realized that standing up for what you believe in isn't something wrong it's an expression of how you feel and if you keep silencing your inner voice it only leads to your unhappiness

Taking a pause in the middle of a tough situation to come up with the best situation only happens on telly.

The reality is u can only make the best decision for that moment,and the decision you make then is what will determine your level of happiness until you decide to reevaluate the situation

The truth of the matter is simple where all brought up to be free willed individuals we all go through life and pick up survival skills and when push comes to shove that's exactly what happens we fight for what we consider acceptable and although love sometimes blinds us it gets to a point when u have to realize there is absolutely nothing wrong with loving yourself more.because although people occupy the space around you when you close your eyes at night it's just you and if your not happy with you you can't be truly happy.

PANCAKES IN HEAVEN

Have you ever pictured your favourite breakfast serving but the difference is it being served in heaven. For the longest time I've. Imagined what it would be like to have a slice of heaven and I chased that thought for so long asking the lord why can't earth just be peaceful why cant everything just go so smoothly and if he could show me what heaven looked like just so I could have one moment of complete peace.so I asked myself why do I have that longing for peace why do I wish the earth would be peaceful and it dawned on me that if earth was perfect I'd never seek the Lords council for I too would be at peace.one thing I've learned is that you can have that peace anywhere and those heavenly pancakes I've dreamt about could have been the very pancakes I had this morning.the thing we have to learn is we should appreciate what we have whether or not it seems fullfilling the reality is that by having that attitude those slices will become slices of heaven earth.
