2011?









Another year, another revolution that may or may not be fulfilled



I cant not believe that another year is passing us by already. It seems like time is just going so fast. Although i like to be busy, part of me wants time to freeze so i can enjoy specific moments. I kind of wished that time would go backwards instead of forwards to take some time to re-live memories. Now, that a new year is coming up the traditional 'new years revolution' is brought up. I always have trouble committing to my revolution. I want to continue to grow as a better person, and in many ways i have grown a lot so far and i thank god for that. A new year, means a change for the better. My mom has already come up with her revolution plans. But for now, i am not going to stress over what mine will be tonight if it doesn't come to me. I have a whole year to think about it. After all, a new year's revolution is something that you work towards and that it were accomplishment comes in.

You make me feel better
Even when i don't want to

I realize that even when you can't see, someone will be there to guide you. You look at the people in your life and you think, where would i be if you weren't here. I feel blessed to have people around me that will lift me up, when i fee like i am falling down. That is real friends, real family.
I don't wan to take it all for granted
When i know that i am among the lucky.
But, although, i am grateful for my friends and family, it is God who has given them to me. Sometimes, i wonder, am i worth it all? But i am always reminded that i am loved regardless. I also, realize that i can be a blessing in their lives as well. What can i do to bless them daily? It all about living life to the fullest and being able to say that you can say you accomplished in the end.



I am strong



People Fustrate me
You fustrate me

Sometimes, you wish that you can claim revenge on people who do wrong to you. You could get revenge; in a discreet way i am, but i find that when you let God deal with the situation it turns out better. There are a lot of people that i truly dislike, but you always fake it to you make it. However, whenever i walk through those doors of my job and i have to work with these people, i feel strong regardless. There is a lot i want to say but you have to be careful who you tell. In this circumstance, you don't know who you can trust. Therefore, you don't trust anyone.

It isn't easy all the time, but i have found strength to deal with it. God is on my side and i have learned a lot to be able to deal with the situation. They underestimate you. When they do not even know you.

i care, so ill be silent









Sometimes, I feel its best to be quiet.
But, its hard when you have so much to say

When you have the best interest at heart for those you love, they do not always accept it. It is hard to have something to say, that is not always considered to be important. That has happened to me numerous times. Sometimes,you just want to scream to make your voice heard, but does that make anything better? The more i find that i push about something, the more people get fustrated simply because they do not se your vision or the purpose of what you are trying to say.

So, you feel like you have to back off in order for things not to go in a bad direction. It isn't easy and i know that i am not the only one that feels like that sometimes. I am sure people notice it too. But at the end of the day, at least i was there for you. And knowing that i have that kind of spirit is what makes it worth it regardless in the end.

To the clouds





You are naturally inspiring
I wish to be my best self

God places people in your life to encourage and uplift you. I look around me and i feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be around people daily that make me feel happy and inspired. Every day is truly a learning experience. We had a special guest speaker named Olunike, come to our class to give us some nuggets of wisdom and insight into her career as an actress. Soul Visionary productions and myself are aspiring artists trying to get into the industry. We were all dripping off of her every word. She had such an inspiring presence and power about her, that made our class star-stuck.

After an organic and full period speaking with her, i felt inspired alot. She grew up as a regular, toronto girl, who had a love for the arts, pursued that dream and made it big in her career. Her success reminded us that, are dreams can and will come true and that we have the potential to become successful. I hope that she could remain a potential contact for me in the future and i hope that she will be able to come in again.

Your special to me






I wish you a very merry christmas

Christmas is almost here and I am excited to celebrate another year that we can remember the birth of Jesus Christ. I am a christian, and for me it is all about family and reminiscing on the God that I serve. Many people, view christmas as a stressful time of year to buy presents; but to me presents have never been such a major issue. Ever year I spend christmas I only remember spending time with my family and friends and that is, experiencing the true meaning of christmas. I personally, have a very giving nature about me, that sometimes I cannot help. As like every year, i enjoying giving rather than receiving because I like to sow into other peoples life's and make them happy during this season. I feel like God has blessed me so much over the years and I want to lend a hand to others to show that there is power in redemption and love.

Christmas to me, fills my heart with something special.

Cry


When it's Christmas
Not everything feels perfect

Christmas is known as 'the most wonderful time of the year' and no doubt it can be. However, while people are experiencing joy, happiness and perfection, others are reminded of sadness, loneliness that can often have Christmas make them cry. I am in a new musical production called 'A Christmas Redemption.' 'A Christmas Redemption' is about three different families, who experience different situations during the Christmas season. The play demonstrates how Christmas is not a happy time for everyone. Each family is individually dealing with a situation in their lives which leads them into seeking redemption. Though their situations, they are reminded of the grace of God and the spirit of coming together for Christmas.This play is powerful and i am blessed to be apart of such an amazing production and c
ast that has become so close to me as well.

This play is inspirational and life changing. I hope that you will able to attend.

Forgive Me


Redemption.
We are seeking
REDEMPTION
Redemption is an act of seeking forgiveness. We are seeking forgiveness for those who have been suffering from HIV and AIDS. Everyone need's redemption in their lives. They need strength and support. We had an AIDS awareness assembly a couple of days ago and I felt empowered to make a change. My class created a beautiful and moving piece through movement to illustrate ones' seeking of redemption. I enjoyed myself greatly and I know that many members of Soul Visionary Productions did too. As visionaries, we want to be the change you see in the world. We also, want to inspire others to be the change as well.

It was an amazing experience and i felt inspired myself.

At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption
