Some things to celebrate.

Okay time to do the opposite of how I am feeling. It’s time to celebrate the good stuff.
First of all in spite of not reaching my goals in the way I had hoped I managed to do what I was most afraid of. I have worked out every day 6 days a week since January not only that but I have been reading the bible every day too, 2 chapters a day and I am in Numbers right now. So although I want to see more results in my relationship with God I am taking the right steps to make it improve. I am taking the right steps to make weight loss happen too. I have been discouraged with the rate in which progress is happening; the good news is change is happening. Slowly but I am changing inside and out. This is something to be excited about.
Kyle. What else can I say? He is something really good I need to be happy about. As I say to Kyle “Real good boy---Rel gOOd BoooI” in my Caribbean accent. Blessed isn’t even the word to describe what it means to have him in my life. We are going to be married 4 years this August and every year things have gotten better. We’re constantly growing together and learning from each other and always having a good time. I love having him around, he’s pretty easy to adore.

Another thing to be excited about… in 3 weeks I will have finished 2 years of Advertising, pretty much in 1 year and a couple of months. I am an advertising genius! Well, in most areas! I have learned so much its crazy. I am actually going to be qualified to come up with the ideas that everyone sees in magazines and billboards. Pretty snazzy. I can’t believe that I have been able to do so well in school, my dedication and goals have paid off and I will have a career now in advertising that is no slouchy achievement! As I displayed in one of my Monster.ca campaign roughs “Make Mamma Proud” I showed a mom (curlers in her hair) in her ancient pyjamas putting an achievement of her daughters advertising success on her dated gold colour fridge. --à I can feel pretty proud of this.
Our finances… Ahhh you might say! But actually it’s more like a hmmm not really an Ahhhh… Why? Because we are totally kicking the butt out of our debt! Kyle is an Ebay machine; he sells old useless computers and makes a fortune for us. Enough for us to pay off all of our credit cards and have some spending money, we haven’t been able to take any trips yet but I can see them in the horizon and I think they will be happening sometime soon. I will be helping matters when I get a job this summer, we will be able to really do some damage then.

My whole life is ahead of me…never mind that fact that I am turning 28! This is just wrong to even say!!? But I am going somewhere, the journey has been slow…real slow boy! But its moving and its moving in the right direction. I am getting older but I am getting all my ducks in a row in the right order and the important thing is that I am doing something to achieve my goals, I am taking action. Eventually we will get to the place we dream about. I will be graduated one day soon, working in a career. Wearing a bikini on the beaches of Trinidad (we will have saved enough money to go) and Kyle and I will have a house that I can paint and decorate. I will have inspiration and passion from God to create a message to share with people. My relationship with Kyle will be closer than ever. Oh yeah...And I will be driving, listening to my favourite music in my car.
I am making these dreams happen….. One day at a time and that is what I have to be joyful about today! So time to stop BooHooing!

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
