Veni, Vidi, Vici.....

...or I came, I saw, I conquered:

I came to realize...

•  that life doesn't suck, it's your thinking that sucks.
•  you must love yourself, before you can love another
•  money doesn't buy you love, health, or a person once they are lost.
• your never too old to do what you have always wanted to do. 
•  family and friends are the most important thing in any one's life
•  what you sometimes dislike in someone, mirror's something you don't like about yourself
•  you can be as happy and healthy as you make up your mind to be.
•  no one has the power to tell you that your not good enough, pretty enough, skinny enough, smart enough 
•  no one knows everything , not your parents, your boss, your teachers - no one.
•  in my darkest moments, God was always with me, to guide me and carry me when I couldn't go any further on my own.
•  Life is beautiful, if we just open our eyes and look.

I saw....
 

•  hurt, anger, hate destroy someone who I tried so hard to love and save, only he didn't want to be saved, not even to save himself from himself.
•  that faith can save you.
•  the sun rise in the east and set in the west...a true marvel.
•  the magnificent city of Florence ...with all it beautiful art, history, and beautiful people.
•  even if people you love move away, it doesn't matter the miles between you, but how you fill the miles between you, and it my case it is with so much love, she and her family is like a beat of my heart.
• that I am a beautiful person and loving myself can give me all that I desire.
•  I saw death, but in death, I also saw peace. 

I conquered ....

•  my demons, kicked their asses right back to hell!
•  my fear of being alone, by leaving an abusive relationship after many years of torture.
•  my fear that I can't do it ....because I can!
•  my self-doubt of not being good enough.
•  the nasty girls in high school, college, the clubs, work and play.
•  the mean bosses, director's and lying two faced co-workers - and I killed it with  kindness!
•  letting someone mood, determine mine.
•  let the mean words cut deep.

I still have much to see, come to and conquer, life is beautiful, no matter what the weather, the mood of others, how much money you have, or the car you drive ( even though I love mine!), the size of your jeans, or the wrinkles on your face...

Do you want to stay as you are? or do you want ride to fame and fortune with happiness and health following you on your travels throughout this adventure called life?  I know where I am going...are you in??
