LOVE is My Religion....

Remember “ Pick the people who pick you.”

It is a turn on to be loved, wanted and appreciated.

So if they are not doing that for you, let them go.

Someone who wants you will put in the effort, compromise and move forward with you.


I know sometimes is not easy - we choose to love the ones who are not giving us the same love and respect we offer them. I know it's been an headache and heartache for me i must admit but, REALIZATION has to come to me pretty hard enough to wake up and say, This is such a "TURNED OFF!" the other person is more than a girl to me who doesn't even see the importance of me as a Beautiful, Loving and Caring Person. A Reality wake up - To Truly Love Myself with Respect and Dignity that never again would allow another " human being "to treat me with such.

I know In my Heart and I Trust GOD that there is a Wonderful, Handsome ,Loving and Caring Man for me out there , Who will truly put all his effort to Commit to me with Great Love and Respect. Who would be Proud of Me and around me. Who will tell the whole world that I am his Woman Only. ( Hopefully , Soooooonnnnnn!!!!!)

I DO DESERVE TO BE LOVE, TO BE WANTED AND TO BE APPRECIATED.

Have a great Monday!!

Love and Peace,
Ann

I'm Ready to Take the Risk....

“To love is to risk not being loved in return.

To hope is to risk pain.

To try is to risk failure,

but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”




After all , We will never know what God has in store for Us, if we continue to hide behind the relationships...sometimes it takes risking that Relatiionship to find a love that will endure all things.

I don't know about you but I am so ready for it. I have all my goals in order to reach and finding a Steady Love is one of them.

What a beautiful sunday!!! God bless you all.

Love and Peace,
Ann

" Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for." -bob marley


Life doesn't get easier, you just get stronger.


I believe that everyone gets hurt and everyone will hurt somebody. That is just how it is.i know people fear getting hurt but life does include being hurt. There are no exceptions.

AWESOME QUOTES

“I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change.”

"Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting, it is a sign of our unwillingness to flow with life."


"You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer."


"Follow your JOY and your JOY will follow you."


"Before you speak, ask yourself: Is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?"

“The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.”

"Who is the happiest of men? He who values the merits of others, and in their pleasure takes joy, even as though if it were his own.”~

Something to Ponder.....

“Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.”

Unless you are open to love and let go of past hurts, love will never show up because you will never recognize.


You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment unless you trust enough.



Peace to All,
Ann

When He Doesn't Meet Your Expectations

Have you found a guy who seems to run short of your expectations? Did he know how to win your heart, and he knew exactly what to say to get you to love him? Are you now asking what happened, and why did he stop trying? Relationships certainly are not simple. People are complicated and there can be many reasons why you are where you are right now.

Today on Father Duffy's sermon he was saying the very first thing you need to do is drop your expectations. No one can meet your expectations all the time, and you are setting your relationship up for failure by expecting someone to be perfect and to know everything you need at every minute of your day. Communicating your needs in a loving manner certainly can solve a lot of problems. Expect that you will also have to meet his needs as well and do things he wants to do without whining about it. In the beginning you were happy to be together just for the sheer delight of having a connection. Think about how it all began.

What was his life like as a child? Did his father or mother not meet his needs? Were they too busy working or handling their own stuff? What kind of mother and father did he have? Does he grow up in loving family or Has his parents reach out to give a hug or kiss, and compliments were not something high on his list. Yet when you take a look at his childhood, he didn't have the role models to show him how to be loving. As a child he felt unloved, and he was abused. His home was not a safe haven where he felt secure. So you see, we are by products of the parents who raised us.

Often we forget to take a look at where our loved one came from, and how his life was as a child. His first teachers were his parents. If his childhood needs were not met, he may be clueless on how to meet your needs. He will have no clue on what you expect. He wasn't given the proper tools to really know what to do. So what can you do?
Communicate. Talk to one another like you did when you first met. Speak with love, not an expectation of what you think he should be doing. Stop blaming each other, and forgive each other when the relationship falls short.


I'm a hugger and a kisser, and I find I love to cuddle and be close. That certainly can feel suffocating to a guy who never had that affection as a child. So when you are searching for answers as to why your guy is acting the way he is, take a look at where he came from. What were his childhood experiences? Then take a good look at yourself and where you came from. Are you more like your mother or father? Do you crave love because you didn't feel loved as a child?

When he doesn't meet your expectations, realize YOU can meet your needs. You can communicate what brings you joy, and you can treat yourself well. You have the power to love yourself enough to meet your needs. Be careful of what expectations you place on your loved one. Here is a quote for you to think about:

“Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end."

I wish you enough love to see past a person's imperfections, and to see clearly your own image. Love is a beautiful gift, but it is not kept with a closed mind, a closed heart, or closed arms. Love does not grow in a cave or in the darkness, and it won't grow if suffocated or ridiculed. It is in the arms of compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance where love thrives.


Peace,
Ann

Powerful Statement.

Seated men fishing off a shoreline photo



If a person is stuck thinking in fear, negative or expecting others to change, nothing will change.

If you want change, you have to UNSTICK YOURSELF!

Not other people and then things will be better.

Save Me , I'm Lost....

God's hand saving man - 3d illustration with some painting photo

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

My Interpretation of this song is that no matter how bad things may look right now means NOTHING! It is how good they can be with GOD'S help that counts.

In life you can absolutely count on one thing, Everything can turn around in one day, in one minute sometimes.

So Don't you dare to give up, - you might be a moment away from a windfall.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Love and Peace,
Ann


Finding your Blessings.....

a picture of Jesus on the cross photo

Life brings challenges into our lives and even I have my days where I ask Jesus to take the wheel. Being a Single Mom and being apart from someone you love is not always an easy thing to do, but I had hoped I wouldn't be doing it alone. I've always believed if God brings me to it, he will bring me through it.

I'm an optimist, and I do believe that sometimes you just have to find the blessing in each day even when things aren't going according to our plan. Like you, I've made plans which have not always worked out the way I would expect but more times than not I have found it's lead me to a better place than I could have imagined. So what seems like a terrible twist, has always wound up as a blessing in the long run.

Sometimes we have to let go and just hand our burdens over, and believe that anything is possible. It's all about making positive choices and taking it one baby step at at time. Walk in faith and believe you are where you are suppose to be at this very minute of your life. We may not be able to change others, but we sure can watch our thinking and make changes within ourselves.

Here are a few quotes and a poem for inspiration today:

"The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible." by Author Unknown.

Life is full of twists and turns but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy and embrace these changes with a clearer and vibrant view.

"Happiness is not a station to arrive at, but a manner of traveling." Margaret Les Runbeck

A poem which reminds us to watch how we spend our time:

Take Time by Author Unknown TAKE TIME to think; it is the source of power. TAKE TIME to read; it is the foundation of wisdom. TAKE TIME to play; it is the secret of staying young. TAKE TIME to be quiet; it is the moment to seek God. TAKE TIME to be aware; it is the opportunity to help others. TAKE TIME to love and be loved; it is God's greatest gift. TAKE TIME to laugh; it is the music of the soul. TAKE TIME to be friendly; it is the road to happiness. TAKE TIME to dream; it is what the future is made of. TAKE TIME to pray; it is the greatest power on earth.

Love and Peace,
Ann

Food for thought

That contentment comes from unconditional love. When you love conditionally, you have to keep deciding if the other is worthy of your love. You can never let go of your guard enough to be content. Why not decide once and for all, and love once and for all. And be content.


Wishing You all alot of Love and Heap of Happiness.

Love,
Ann
