Fix You...

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! This song is amazing, its one of those rare songs that gives you shivers down your spine, and can bring to different levels and kinds of emotions in a matter of seconds. I cried the first time I heard it, especially this line,
"when you love someone but it goes to waste"

it brings home feelings of hopelessness, when you want something to work, to be perfect so much, but it all goes to hell. i think that's one of the most painful moments of life, and this song makes it so real and beautiful with chris' voice echoing in your soul, it like taking all your feelings and writing them exactly to the melody of a song.

Love,
Ann







When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

When high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I . . .

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I . . .

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Something to think about...

“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody
to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a
relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our
partners and take up with somebody more promising.
This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that
while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we,
each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment.
Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise
is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program
for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”

Love and Light,
Ann

Everyone thinks of changing the world, But No One thinks of Changing Himself!

Silhouette image of a couple embracing eachother at the beach photo

What we need to know about loving is no great mystery. We all know what constitutes loving behavior; we need but act upon it, not continually question it. Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight. We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy. It's we who make it complicated.

Remember, Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself

Wishing you a day full of love, sunshine, and blessings!

All about forgiveness..you know the thing that people refuse to do

A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers. --Robert Quillen

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.-- Mahatma Gandhi

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.—Unknown

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were. --Cherie Carter-Scot

Resentment is like a glass of poison that a man drinks; then he sits down and waits for his enemy to die.—Unknown

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note--torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one. -- Henry Ward Beecher

You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well. --Lewis B. Smedes

Without deep humility, true forgiveness is impossible…and will never happen. --Martha Kilpatrick

Forgiveness is me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me. --Anonymous


There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.-- Josh Billings

Always forgive your enemies--nothing annoys them so much.-- Oscar Wilde

To err is human; to forgive, divine.-- Alexander Pope

Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love. --Mahatma Gandhi

We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck . . . But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness. --Ellen Goodman

A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers. --Robert Quillen

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. Louis B. Smedes

A Shocking email from a friend....

Does his words match his actions?

That is THE most important thing to consider when one is trying to look REALISTICALLY at a friendship and OR love relationship that you are currently unhappy with. Because IF you complain about something yet still TOLERATE it, the message you are sending ( despite the words you have spoken) is that you are willing to put up with it no matter how much you complain. And you may not be taken seriously by the other person because YOU have taught them not to....

Take a promised phone call.....if it does not occur when promised, you need to address it to the person who promised to make that call and let them know that you waited and that it bothered you or hurt your feelings. No drama needed, no manipulation, plain straight talking works best. And IF that person makes the same promise again, and does not call again, then you may have a problem, they are doing one thing while saying another.

Take a promised meeting....if it does not occur when and how promised, again you address it to the person, and perhaps there was a valid excuse, but perhaps not, and you have to work that out. Because IF a person is consistently saying ONE thing and doing ANOTHER, you have to start looking at their actions, and not listening to their words. No amount of drama, will change things until you accept that if a person in your life may not mean what they say if they do not keep their word to you. And while it may take you a while to work that out when you WANT so badly to believe the words, but it is only when you free yourself of wanting to believe and accepting that they mean their actions and not their words when they are in direct contradiction that you can free yourself to have in your life what you truly deserve.

Hard and all as that may be to accept or come to understand....
But if you are willing to wait, days, weeks and or months between a text, email, and or phone call or even a meeting, and STILL believe it when they promise you AGAIN and the follow through is simply not there, it is also YOUR fault for putting up with it. And without laying BARE in front of the person and telling them straight out that the actions not matching the words is a DEAL BREAKER for you and MEAN it ( you cannot expect them to keep their words to you without you keeping YOUR word to them AND more importantly YOURSELF)
then you have ONLY yourself to blame for letting them think it was okay to you....

Peace,
Joan

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Attractive multicultural couple in the honeymoon suite. photo



As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that
wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will.
You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts.
You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt.

Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts.

Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.


Whewww! What a Hell of a week for me...There's no need to mention...It's done and Over with. As long as Made it Through it that's what's matter. I had a great Mom and Daughter time with my 11th yr. Bday celebrant yesterday took a break in a Spa. Today ,did a little bit of cooking and Celebrate her bday and My Mommys Day. We had fun , all my kids are here and the Best Gift I ever wanted.
Thank you Lord , You are sooo Good . Thank you Lord for another Wonderful Mother's day . Thank you to all my families and Friends who has been non -stop txting me and sending me FB msgs...You guys ROCK!!!


Love and Peace to All,
Ann




Ann On this day 5/9/2010 ,

Awesome Quote!!!

“Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person

apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand

you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its

own way and time.”



It is so True, I love it!

Peace,
Ann

Cancer Horoscope for May 2010

The month will be a great time for you to focus on love, friendships and children. You will actually have a few opportunities to travel but this month seems to be a time where your more focused on staying at home. On May 2nd your focus will turn to taking a quick short trips especially to a place near water. You may have already been planning this trip for a couple weeks ago so it's a great time to just get out and have a little fun. Mercury is currently retrograding so it could of brought some delays for you. Right now it would be a great time to move forward with this trip. You may have to invest in a vehicle, computer or new phone. Saturn will finally go direct on May 30th so any quick trip, travel or communication should run much smoothly. Prior to that Mercury will go direct on May 12th making it even a smoother transition for travel to run smoothly. Your communication will increase via emails, text messages and phone calls. You may write more frequently than before. You may be surprised of the creative work you put together.

A lover or child may come to you on May 3rd and 19th. You may find love, fall in love or run into an old lover from your past. Old issues with a child or lover may have to be resolved again. It's a great time to communicate and resolve personal issues. You may also hear news of a child on the way.

A great time to give selflessly to others will come on May 7, 15, 17, 18 and 19th. Be careful as you may spend lavishly on May 18th and 19th. You may also indulge on foods and sweets on May 17th and May 19th.

The new moon on May 14th will fall in your 11th house of friendships. The next couple weeks will bring a time to make new friends or even spend time with old friends. You may attend a special event or party with friends. A great time to socialize and just have fun. Uranus and Jupiter will greatly support this new moon from your house of long distance trips, foreign people and places. You may travel to visit friends or friends may travel to come and see you. You may spend time on the internet connecting and communicating with friends especially on facebook and myspace. A great time to just connect with people you love. Saturn will connect well with this new moon from your your house of communication. It's going to be a great time to connect with everyone including relatives, friends and even your neighbors. I feel this new moon will open the door for you to reach out to people whom you lost contact with from the past. If you have lost touch with the family then reach out to them and let them know how much you still need them. You may promote or market a product via the internet, radio and television. Get out there and expand yourself.

Cancer Weekly horoscope


Venus will enter your own sign on May 20th bringing you 4 weeks to receive plenty of attention. You will be the center of attention. You may change your hairstyle, wardrobe or even lose weight. People will be surprise at the new you. You deserve a change so why not try to change different for one day and see how it feels. The sun will enter your 12th house of secrets and solitude on May 21st. The next 4 weeks will bring a time for you to catch up on sleep, rest and relax. A great time to seek a vacation or just travel to a place that brings peace and tranquility. You are so home-bodied that every so often it's great to get out of your comfort zone.

The greatest news for this month has to do with Uranus entering your house of career and promotions. Uranus in your career can really help you or may bring some disappointments. On the positive it can make you leave a job that you have spent so many years for something new. It could be a job that will surround you with electronics. You may start a business venture. You may go back to college or focus on your college career. It will be a very active time for you to begin to focus on what you want for your future career choice. On the negative you may lose a job, get terminated or fired from your job. I have seen several times where people quit their jobs because they are tired of the same routine or schedule from their jobs. They leave hoping to find another job that will give them greater freedom in their jobs and schedule. Many times they leave their jobs just to discover there is no job that will give them the schedule they seek. Before you make any critical career decisions make sure you have thought of every choice and option before making a major career change.

The full moon on May 27th will fall in your 6th house of work, service and health. The next couple weeks will bring a time for you to exercise, lose weight and eat healthy. Your work projects will increase and you will finally complete work projects. You may start a new work project or job in another place of company. It will be a wonderful time for you to focus on where you would like to be in your life. You may make some critical changes for your health and body. Uranus will support this full moon from your house of travel and foreigners. You may travel to a place where you can retreat. A spa sounds wonderful right now. it could bring a time to promote and market a project. A great time to learn new ways to take care of yourself. You may venture out into new career territories to discover something about yourself. It could bring a time for you to plan your career and financial future.

Your goal is to plan and organize for what you want for your career, finances and home. You will also focus on travel, communication and connecting with friends. You want to socialize and this month will be the right time to do so. You will get out and enjoy yourself and have some fun.
