People... you meet all kinds of people.  Good people, bad people, silly people... you really don't know how to classify them initially until you've spent a few minutes with them and then - the label.  Good, bad, silly, stupid. etc.  Labels are so ... I want to say they're wrong and yet, sometimes they are so necessary.  I know I have been in certain circles and made certain comments not because I couldn't carry the conversation or add something per se, but just to be the Devil's advocate.  I hate when individuals have so much to say about a particular subject and yet when another perspective is presented, they don't know how to answer.  Yes, I am that person who will bring up the other perspective or argue the point just to see how they answer.  Yea, you might call me hypocritical or plainly a bitch but you know what, if you can't argue your perspective from all perspectives then you suck.  Yup, I said it.  It's the truth.  Before you want to go and present yourself along one line you should know the whole story and be able to defend your stance, regardless.  I'm not bringing up the other side to discredit you, I'm really bringing it up for you to have more to defend your stance.  Stop thinking of your opinions as one dimensional.  Think of your opinions as three dimensional.  Can you argue your point?  Can you cite examples?  No? then either educate yourself or move on.  Simple as that.  Don't take offense.  Educate yourself and then present your case.  The more educated you are, the more people will respect your position and ultimately YOU!
Along those lines, I love life.  Just wanted to throw that out there.  Regardless of where you are in life, think about it, you woke up breathing ... it's going to be a good day.  Someone didn't wake up today and probably had plans so for you, who thinks that today is JUST another day, buck up ... it's YOUR day.  Make it count.  DANCE like no one is watching, Make MONEY like it doesn't matter and most of all, LOVE like it's your last opportunity.  Never know, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow....
As for labels... think about it, what is yours? Do you like it? No? then maybe you should do something about it.  Unfortunately, life is about labels.  We all have them.  Do we deserve them?  Are they self given? Many times, not so much.  The point is, don't leave yourself in a place where others can label you something that you wouldn't want to label yourself.  Food for thought.

Time Flies

We've all heard the adage, "time flies when you are having fun"... this is no exception.  It's been more than four years since I started this blog (and by start, I mean, I wrote an initial blog and stopped).  However, I am in a different place now.  I still look for light, love and happiness in pretty much all I do; I am a different person now.  I live in a different place, physically and spiritually.

So, let's just start here.  I live in the United States near the Atlantic Ocean which is very nice.  If ever you are feeling overwhelmed or life has you exhausted, overstimulated or just stressed, go to the water.  Listen to the water.  Feel the breeze, take a deep breath ... and don't forget your favorite libation.  Yes, I know everyone advocates a "cleaner, healthier" lifestyle these days but honestly, drinking is not a BAD thing.  Everything in moderation is my motto ...  So far, so good ,,, just sayin'.

I find myself thinking some seriously random thoughts lately ...

What is the best pen to write with? Why can't I find one?
Why are people so worried about everything but themselves?  (So intrusive and rude.)
Do children really see spirits and ghosts? I'm opened minded, why can't I?
If I sleep less, will that mean I've gotten more out of my days on Earth?
Why can't I watch a movie and not feel guilty for not using my two hours toward something more useful?
Can babies self think? When and how does that happen?
Why do I hear things in my head in other people's voices?  Is God's voice really Morgan Freeman?
Do I have to like wine just because I'm a "grown" woman? Why can't I still drink vodka and not get the dirty looks? Why do I care?
Why are there so many labels? Limits?

and so many more...

Life is random.  Life is meant to be lived.
Live your life for we have one guaranteed ride at this life carnival.  Are you going to use all your tickets? or will you leave with tickets in your pocket thinking, "I wish I would have used these?"

Until tomorrow, be true to yourselves and LIVE!

 

Welcome to my random moments ...

I am beginning this blog as a way to not only empty my mind of those things that happen day-to-day which are sometimes funny or sad, but to perhaps inspire others to think positively and to enjoy the little things (Rule #32 for my Zombieland friends).
I believe by sharing these moments, it can perhaps help others to put their life's moments into perspective and maybe even help out a little.  I am hoping to inspire, motivate and share the ultimate gift of light, love and experience through all I write.  With this in mind, I hope you enjoy my shared "moments"...
