The Change Experience

Just wanted to share a site that I am so happy I found. On my journey to a better me, I have my good days and bad days...who doesn't. There are times when I feel good about myself and times when I feel discouraged. Joy is our strength to keep going, move forward and do what is right! Anyway, here is an online study that focuses on family and relationships (of all kinds), finances, as well as spiritual growth. We have to continuously work on ourselves in the inside to effectively transform so our beauty shows just with our presence. No matter how much makeup, clothing or other beauty enhancements we buy...if you are not developed in the inside it is done with no purpose. Our inner beauty should cause our outer beauty to shine regardless of what we have on or how we look. To do this study it only took me 15-20 mins. I am online a lot so it really is a useful tool. Be encouraged and I hope you take advantage of this site and what it offers!!

Stevie Wonder - Happy Birthday

Thank you to my Facebook, YT and Twitter friends for wishing me a happy birthday! Thank you MsAllyn for sending this my way!! It put a smile on my face!

Today is my birthday...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Today was my birthday and I am grateful that I am able to celebrate another year. I normally celebrate my birthday's with my family (mom, sometimes sisters, my husband and children). Today, I stayed in my bed with nothing to do...kids were outside playing with their friends, hubby was doing homework, and my mother and sisters were not able to see me. Going out to lunch, having a girls night out, being treated to something special, or just having a good time with friends is something I really never experienced on my birthday. Normally, as long as the finances are there, I am the one trying to go the extra mile for my friends...trying to show them that I care by calling, treating them, or sending special messages there way. Now I don't like to define a friendship by what a person does for you all the time. I am the type of person that feels like a true friend is a person that is there for you when you really need them. They pick up the phone and check on you now and then. They make an effort to be part of your life. When life gets rough they are there for you. This is the friend that I try to be. I am not perfect in regards to always being around, especially because I live so far from many of my friends, but I make an effort to let them know I still love them. As I laid in my bed all day feeling down, I looked at why I lack those friendships that made me feel someone cares about me for who I AM. Only one person, my bestie for about 17 yrs, picked up the phone and called me and I know a lot of people, lol. People that I thought were close to me didn't even bother. She was even going to try and visit me. She is the only friend that has actually came to visit me since I moved about an hour away from everyone. It is funny because she and I are opposites, but we always maintain our friendship. Differences and changes in our lifestyles cause us to not hang out a lot with each other, but we love and understand one another. If anyone else came to see me it was because I was doing something for them. I kindof got tired of of always being the one to drive and see someone, treat to a play or movies, or even invite somewhere...things just started to feel one sided.

I tend to be the one that gets the calls when someone is hurting, needs help, or needs to vent. I have always been that person. I have always been different and didn't do what everyone else did...I actually feel like that is what separates my friends from me. Me being different causes people to back away. I accept them, how come they can't accept me. I know a lot of people and find myself helping others, but true friendships are just hard to find. I do wonder if my definition of a friend is somehow misconstrued because I always seem to lack in the friendship area.

So, to my readers: What defines a friendship? What makes someone want to be a friend so someone? What makes you want to spend time with a person? What has a friend done for you that really made you feel special? How many close friends would you say you have? Did getting married or getting into a serious relationship change your friendships? Did having kids change your friendships? I would like to know...I am on this journey and praying that God shows me why has my life been this way...many times I am that same person that God has told me to befriend. No one should feel like they don't have a friend.

Call a friend you haven't talked to or seen in a while, be blessed and take care!

Welcome to my blogspot!! What is beautyMETAMORPHOSIS??

beauty: 1: the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit : loveliness
METAMORPHOSIS: 1 a: change of physical form, structure, or substance especially by supernatural means; b: a striking alteration in appearance, character, or circumstances

Women go through so much transformation throughout the journey's that life can bring...we represent beauty as we go through metamorphosis. Beauty is not seen from the the outside, but most importantly the inside. I created this blog to enable women to share and converse with one another about different journeys of life they are on. Meet new friends, share thoughts, and support one another to help us grow within our spirit, soul and body. One of the most important factors in life is to have compassion for one another...that is what helps a person to feel like they can make it...knowing that someone cares. As my blog evolves you will learn about different aspects of life that have helped and are helping me (and hopefully you too) become a better ME. Not to play life safe based on what others think of me, but to be who I am and be proud. We will share biblical aspects to help us with our daily walk, health and fitness tips, makeup and fashion trends and more! Be encouraged and I thank you for blessing my page with your presence!!
