And It's Update Time...

So obviously it has been awhile since I've last written a blog. Admittedly I have had various things to write about but I couldn't find the motivation. So let's start with subject number one, The Royal Wedding...I personally didn't care to get up super early in the morning to watch a wedding. Yes it was history in the making, yes I am happy for them, and no I am NOT against the monarchy. However, a friend of mine took Friday off of work and had a princess party. I was secretly envious because if a 50 something year old woman can have a pink and purple girly party I could most certainly enjoy those festivities. Unfortunately I had to work and that took priority over the very special event that day.
Now for subject number 2...Playstation Network had a security breach. I found this out from my all time favorite radio morning show; The MJ Morning Show. It took Sony a week after I heard about it to send me an email announcing the breach and to tell me my personal information has been compromised. Well I understand that these things can happen and it's not like I ever keep money on the card that I had stored to my account. However, I do feel a bit betrayed by Sony that they didn't notify me sooner or recognize the problem sooner. Not to mention I feel that off the billions they've made from us consumers that some kind of credit is owed to us. I realize that Playstation Network is free and it is great that they would offer us that service for free, but do not think for one minute that we don't pay for it. I have bought things for my "sim" on Playstation home such as a stylish new wardrobe and countless things for the loft apartment that I bought for her/me to entertain my online guests. So they still make plenty of money from this free service.
Subject number 3...Mary Kay. I started a small venture with a big dream about 10 years ago in the world of Mary Kay cosmetics and failed miserably. I had a few small accomplishments, but overall the business was not successful. I had yet again another opportunity to try it again and signed up. I took all of the knowledge I had gained from my initial failure and learned to turn it into a successful business plan. I am anticipating my first sale tonight from my good pal Morgan. She has quite a lofty order and I am very pleased to have such an order to fulfill. I've always loved the products which Katie got to try out today. I believe in what they sell and the overall company although I may not agree with the way people tend to do things. So at this point I am doing things my way to maximize my benefits.
Subject number 4...Matriarchs of Motherhood had our first meeting today. It was crazy and chaotic. We've decided that we can't have a good meeting with children running around because they are just too disruptive. We were able to skype with Amber for a bit and I enjoyed being around other women at once to laugh and joke with. It was nice. I just wish there would've been more talking and less yelling at kids or chasing them around. I feel like the time wasn't well spent. On that note I love you all, click an ad, I'm out :)

Friday

My hair whipped around as the flags beat against their poles in the wind. Gray skies looming overhead and overshadowing tall buildings reaching upward. Downtown lacked that iridescent glow from silver buildings reflecting sunlight and brightly colored objects moving quickly, this way and that. The atmosphere opening up to trickles of water before the downpour of the rain to wash away the sludge. Cold and tired I watched the trees bow against the forces of mother nature's fury. Although I shuddered at the howling in my ears I made no haste to return inside, because inside were angry voices and the added aggravation to an already stressful day. Instead I longed to return to the comfort of my home where even if the storm hadn't passed I could be warm and relaxed. There would be no walks through the flowers and bustling people today, there would be no rays of warmth to soak up on the wooden benches. I pulled on my hood as if to hide and headed back in to finish my shift; hoping for a better tomorrow.

Positivity Brings More Positivity

Tonight I will cry and out of my tears I will release any hurt, anger, or sadness that has fallen upon me. I will call out to the universe to cloak me in its comfort, power, and glory. Tomorrow I will be better than I am today. I will not fear the unknown and I will not despair. I hold the power to my happiness. I will forgive all those who have betrayed me. I will forgive all of those whom I do not know and have wronged others. I will find my peace and my balance with the universe. While I realize that I am merely a speck in it I mean something and my life is important. I will release my power, my beauty, and my meaning into the world around me and have everything I've ever wanted. I will surround myself with good feelings and positive changes. I will move forward and motivate myself to heal. My only hope is that others can do the same and move forward into a brighter tomorrow. Believe it and you can achieve it.
