Sometime You Have to Lose Yourself, to Find Yourself….

So anyone who really knows me, knows this is me.. I was always “The life of the Party”!  I was the one who threw big parties, with lots of good food, good drinks and outstanding hosting!  I always made sure everybody was happy, full, and entertained.  Even made sure people had lunch for the next day!  And that made me happy.  Making other people happy, made me happy.  I guess I am just a born nurturer.  If someone was sick, I was there, and if any of my friends needed me, I was right there.. All the time!

But then I guess God had a plan for me.. “I’m going to take you away from everyone and everything!”  So there was my move to Charlotte NC. I didn’t know anyone here at all.  It didn’t take me long to make lots of friends, but I kinda held back a little from creating ATL all over again.  I was close to it though!! I finally realized that I am a person who has neglected “me” for years!  I didn’t know how much I could enjoy myself without being the fulfillment to everyone else’s life.  I had moments when I was lonely, but reading and music have always been my favorite things.  Then you wonder, what happened to all the “friends” I entertained? Wow!

So I challenge everyone who tries to make everyone else happy and have been neglecting yourself, to “lose yourself”! Cut out the entertaining and the taking care of everyone except you! Then see who you find! You may really like that person that you never even knew!

Love and Hugs!
