Day 7 – Letter to My Ex….

I've been away for a few days… but I had to take time to think about this letter… and whether I would go the negative route or the positive route… I choose the positive….

 

Dear 1^st Love,

This is for you! I know it's been awhile since we have spoken or even seen each other and that part of my heart that will always be young still misses you…. I miss our night time conversations under the million stars on a clear summer night ….. Our lazy days laying on the couch walking tv or me watching you play video games, lol. Oh how I long for the days when a relationship was so pure… I guess that just goes away as we get older….. I miss our quality time together and all the things we shared… There is no way to tell you in words how much I appreciate you and your family standing behind me while my mother was sick and when she passed you never know how much your love and support got me through. I am still amazed that such a young age you were able to be so mature and caring about all that was going on and so willing to help. My parents adored you (this still shocks me) and always bragged to their friends at how I found such a nice young man to be my boyfriend lol, even though my dad had my brother scare you he really did like you, lol! I miss you honey and I'm still ride or die for you like I always have been all you ever have to do is call and I'm there!!!

 

˜ I Love You!!! –

Drea…

Day 6 – Letter to a Stranger

Dear Stranger….

Well that doesn't seem the right sentiment being that you are my child… I only got to experience you for three months in my womb and oh how I miss you.. The Bible says everything has a reason and I guess you leaving me has one as well but many days I can't see it. I sit and wonder would you have my eyes, would you be chocolate or caramel colored, were you a boy or a girl, what it would feel like to touch your curly hair or hear you coo cooing. I sooo miss you even though we never met, I pray that God will see fit to send you back to me because I love you more than I could ever say or put into words. I long for the day that I can see you and wrap you in an unyielding mother's love. With everything in me if you come back I will do everything in my power to Love you, Protect You and make sure all that you need is there… Hopefully you won't be a stranger one day because 7 yrs without you is too long, I love you my child!!!

 

With undying love,

 

Your Mother……..

Day 5 – Letter to My Dreams

Hi Dream(s)!!!

Yeah I see you off over there on the horizon and this no so smooth crooked road in front of me. Hey a challenge is good thing right, it makes you better… as the sun sets on yet another day on this journey to you I see the colors of purple, gold, and orange descending and the lights coming on in my own Accounting Firm, My Plaza that I own and will build with cash, My home that I purchase without a mortgage, and that new car that leaves the lot without one penny owed on it. Yep I see you and you are within my grasp. All these emotional, physical and financial barriers won't deter me from becoming the Best and Most Sought After African-American Female Business Mogul in the world. All these hard lessons and trials will all be worth it when I get that dream on the horizon and trust when the sun rises again in the morning this journey to you starts anew. So sit there because I'm coming and I'm claiming it all now it is already so and written into the threads of my life. No man can stop me from getting to you but myself and I don't see that happening soon. I know you hear the nay-sayers and all that manufactured hate spewing from the slave factory behind me but it's all good I'm rolling and they won't catch me… So in ending just be waiting when I get there because my entrance into that place, where you my dream lies and is made of, will be all the way live when I step in the place.



Deuces until the sun rises,

Day 3 – Letter to My Parents

Hey Mommy…. Hey Daddy….



There is so much to tell you… it's been over 10 years since we spoken and everyday it seems I miss more than the last…. Since you left to be with God things here on Earth have been very hard for your baby girl… but you raised a very independent and strong little girl and I Thank You for all that you gave me….. As I write this my tears are steadily flowing because it still seems like yesterday when you left, and I'm certain you took sizable chunks of my heart when you went away. As a child I wondered what did I do so wrong to make you leave me so soon, but as an adult I realize you had to go and aren't suffering or having to deal with the pains of this world….. I just want to say again (I don't think I could say it enough) but thank you for loving me, for teaching me, encouraging me to be happy and to love myself as well as those around me. You two were my best examples even though you weren't married you were the best of friends and I loved that because you taught me how to be a good friend, you exposed me to the world of culinary arts and I loved watching you two work especially together it was like a well oiled machine just …flawless I thought you guys were Chef Superheroes. You also were so smart Mommy you were always there to help me with my math and science and I know given the chance you would have been the greatest Mathematician anywhere, plus we shared so much laughter together, and I thought you were the best dancer ever! Daddy you were always so articulate and full of history, I so miss your stories and making me laugh, plus your voice when you sang made everything alright… Well I don't know if my tears will let anything else be written just know I love you and one day I'm going to see you again and feel your arms around me……



I LOVE YOU MOMMY AND DADDY!!!!



Love,

Your Baby Girl AKA Bright Eyes

Day 2 – Letter to My Crush

Hey You! Yeah you over there with your sexy self I'm talking to you……

Right now you have no idea I exist or that I feel this way but let me tell ya really quick. If you asked it becomes so, if you need then it will be met, if you wanted time to stop all you had to do was ask….

Yep that's how I felt then, how I feel now and probably always will…..

I wish you knew that many days I feel like the sun rises and sets when you open or close your eyes, when I get to hear your voice or talk to you it makes whatever I'm going through just disappear if even only for a moment…

Don't get it twisted I'm not on that next lifetime shoulda, coulda, woulda, maybe when or maybe if mental trip…. I know that chance has been missed and long gone for me to show how much I love you and can make you happy…. and most times you are just the soul mate I dream about….

Many days thoughts of you have my daydreams all tied up… conversations, shared experiences, far away trips, marriage, kids, and oh so so sweet love making but again reality hits and I realize all these wishes are out of my grasp….

So to you I say if you ever think that no one loves you…. I wish you could read my heart because I do today, then, and always….

XOXO

Day 1 - Letter to My Bestfriend(s)

Hey Family (that's what we call each other),

Where do I start.... This is my first letter and I'm glad it's to you guys....

I love you all so much I really really do! So many times I've felt alone in this world and you all always remind of the biggest blessing God could ever give me TRUE FRIENDS. We have been through good times and bad and always together and stronger because of it. Many times we give each other grief and tease but it's always in love and for the love of each other's laughter.... I thank God everyday for you guys because you really are my family even when my real blood turned their back you were there and I will always love you and do whatever I can for you because of it.... One of my favorite things about us is no matter geographically where we are as long as we are in each other's company we are HOME and being someone who is sometimes not sure where home is that can be such a reassuring fact..... There is so so much I could say but my mind is kinda blank now because I'm a little choked up writing this but know this fact till the day the Lord calls each of us home I am there for you. If you need me call, a shoulder I got two, a hug I have plenty, and my love for you guys is overflowing......

*GROUP HUG*

Love your crazy friend,

DreaM

My Life List..... Things Wisdom Has Taught Me To Live By....

Hey folks I'm back again... lol

Well before I start this list let me say recently my life has been a little haywire lol. I won't say bad because I refuse to complain (even though I do sometimes working on that) because someone else has it worse than I... One of the side effects of life craziness is insomnia...well it is for me any way lol, when I'm up real late and it's all quiet this gives me the perfect opportunity to pray, meditate, and think some things through... When the Lord speaks you need to listen and many of the items on my "Life List" have been constantly on repeat within my conscious and subconscious, something told me this list won't just help me it may help someone else as well... Many times I repeat these same simple words/rules to myself even though on my worst days it's hard... Many of these things are qualities that I want or wanted the Lord to bless me with and many of them he has... Well, with all that said I say this please enjoy the list and by no means am I a life coach or spiritual guru neither can I tell anyone what to do but taking a gander wouldn't hurt nor would a little reflection.....

1. Perseverance
2.  A Tough Skin (don't sweat the small stuff, because it's only small stuff)
3. Keep your mental strong (mental weakness is the deadliest weakness)
4. Concentration, Focus (tunnel vision is a good thing)
5. A Positive Outlook ( you reap what you sow, law of attraction, all that applies here)
6. Building Prayerful Habits (prayer changes things!! seriously it really does!)
7. Philanthropic Practices (in helping others you ultimately help yourself)
8. A Strong "3rd Eye" (Also known as discernment, learn from observation) 
9. LOVE FOR SELF (yeah this is a biggie!! when u love yourself it is easy to love others and for others to love you!)
10. RESPECT FOR OTHERS (being respectful is the simplest act of kindness, and the best evidence of a person having some knowledge)
11. To admit when you are wrong! (no one is perfect, and we all make mistakes they are always easier to fix or be forgiven for when you sincerely admit your mistake)
12. To be able to apologize "I'm Sorry" (this simple phrase has prevented wars!! Done with a sincere heart can prevent years of heartache and anger)
13. Be able to put pride aside and ask for help when you need it...(this is one I'm still working on, it's hard when you are independent minded but sometimes you CAN'T do it all yourself)
14. Know your self-worth (if you know it others will also and will respect you, if you don't expect massive amounts of drama)
15. Treat others how you want to be treated ALWAYS! (Refer back to #10 and #5)
16. Do YOU! ALWAYS! (if it makes you happy do it! especially if you aren't breaking any laws, killing or hurting anybody, strap up your Nikes and JUST DO IT DO YOU!)
17. Get one really good laugh everyday and give someone a really good laugh everyday (trust this works even it's by accident no matter if you were just in tears you would be surprised at how a laugh helps!)
18. Pray for wisdom not wealth!! (Wisdom is a blessing that lasts longer than wealth and can help you attain it!)
19. Know when to be quiet ( you can say the most by just not saying anything at all...)
20. Know when to be still ( take a break stop and just let things go we can't fix/control everything, many things work out best when we just be still and let it roll)
21. Don't give energy to people and things that don't deserve it! (Yep I said it! I mean it! lol If they don't deserve it don't waste your life force on someone who just wants to zap your energy and not replace it)
22. FAMILY IS NOT ALWAYS THOSE WITH WHOM YOU SHARE A BLOODLINE ( I learned this at a very very early age the hard way... and so true You can't pick family but friends are the family you can pick! )

Well that's it. I hope you enjoyed my list, please comment and let me know if you agree or don't. Would you add anything or take anything away? I would love to know, till next time....

Much Love

DreaM
