What's on Your Mind?

When FB asks this question of me there are times when I think that I should keep that to myself. This, however, is not one of those times. This post may annoy some, it may anger some, but it will give you a better look into my twisted way of thinking.

My view is that everyone should be loved, regardless of their race, religion, or sexuality. People are people. Everyone deserves to be cared for and loved.

I also believe that beauty comes in every shape, size, and color. Every person on this earth is beautiful. We shouldn't let the people that control the media tell us what is beautiful. Some of the most beautiful people I know and love are not "media" beautiful, but they have the most beautiful hearts, souls, and minds.

We need to think for ourselves. Decide who we want to be, stand out from the crowd, and have the balls to say "I am not going to let other people decide for me. I will think for myself!" 

My heart breaks every time I hear about bullying, and the tragic consequences it has. Bullying doesn't stop at schools though. How many of us have stood silent while we see someone else being mistreated? How many of us have laughed at a gay joke, made fun of an overweight person, or passed judgement based solely on religion?

 Have the courage to stand up, and say no more!

Well this is what's on my mind today. Like it or lump it!

Growing

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be where I am today. I am getting healthier all of the time. I'm learning how to set boundaries, and I'm enjoying blogging and writing my books. The most difficult part is having patience with myself. I always want things done yesterday. I want everything to be taken care of a month ago, and realizing that it will take a very long time for things to fall into place the way I want them to is a bummer. I have so much love in my life with my family. I am cherished by them, and I cherish them. I'm also learning that it's okay to cut out toxic people from my life. I know that I can set those limits and it's not wrong. My world is a joyful place to be. I love my life. I have the most incredible husband that shows me so much support and love. How could I not be happy?
