A message to all women....

IF A MAN WANTS YOU
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be.
Slower is better.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has more education or in a better job.
Do not make him into a god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone else's man. Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street.
You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.
Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr.. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always knows where you are, and your always readily available to him- he can take it for granted.
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

BY THE WAY, THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A MAN ;-)

Always remember what you are worth. xoxoxoxo~Lovebug

Live to give

So often I'm so consumed with my own challenges that I don't open my eyes wide enough to see what's happening around me. From large scale issues like the environmnent, to friends in emotional need to the woes of hunger in my neighborhood, nothing seems to be as bad as what I'm going through.

Sort of sad, huh? But we are all like this at times. It is so easy to try to fix you, and turn your shoulder to what's going on around you. It's easy to think the world revolves around you. But really, you revolve around the world. Helping others can honestly end up helping you.

These next few weeks are pretty hectic for me, but when I really break down what I am doing, my heart warms. Volunteering, adopting a Platoon and reaching out to the community are just a few important ways I'll give back. And although I don't feel the best and may want to whine about not having enough time for anything (it's just how I feel sometimes), I will live to give.

All of the positive energy I give will come back to me ten fold. Not only will that energy strenthen my soul, but it will help solve my own challenges.

Hoping you choose to give,
Jess

You Rule!

One of my favorite messages ever!

A community service reminder... from the Universe:

YOU RULE.

Your gifts are innumerable.
Your insights are profound.
Your choices are endless.
Your touch is healing.
Your thoughts become things.
Your power is indescribable.
And you are loved and adored, on moment to moment basis, more than you can now understand.

YOU RULE.

Do It!

Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You
There comes a time when you must stand alone.

You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.

You must be willing to make sacrifices.

You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.

Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.

There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.

Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.

Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.

Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.

Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

Big Hugs!
Lovebug

Expect the unexpected

The most random things happen when you least expect them. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, unexpectedness is lurking around every corner. I can't even remember how many times I have looked through my 20/20 hindsight goggles and thought, "Wow, if only I had known that was about to happen, maybe I would have done something differently."

So go ahead and just let go -- you have no clue what is about to happen to you.
